Fatherhood2.0

It has been awhile since this blog was updated.

Reason number one: the birth of my son, Anson Koh.

Reason number 2: coping with the KL office.

It is no surprise that this Social PR father bought his new born son into the social networking stage.

Anson has a Gmail account which I have invited all family members, relatives and friends to leave him an email so he can read them when he grows up.

Anson also has a Facebook account set up which friends of my wife and I can check out updates on the little boy.

How can this web2.0 father forget the blog! Check out Anson’s blog at http://seventeenzeroeightzeroeight.blogspot.com/

The blog is filled with photos and little comments to make it interesting.

Thank goodness for digital photography as I have take quite a number of photographs of Anson. And thanks to Web2.0, I made us of the features of Picnik.com and Picassa 3.0 beta to give it a little bit of jazz.

20 years of color fading now takes 2 minutes with picnik.com

Digital photography has not killed the good old fashion photograph shops either. Now I am printing about 100+ photos was a single 2G SD card as opposed to 30 years ago when one roll of film was limited to only 12 to 24 shots.

The advantage of Web2.0 now is that I can share news of the family to relatives who are far and wide, especially those down under.

In a strange way, Anson has brought the relatives closer though they are continents apart.

PS: I never liked the blogspot content entry system and I am using Windows Live Writer for this and future entry. Maybe I should do a review of this new writer, built for blogging, soon.

Also, I have given this blog a fresher theme. Hope you like it.

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

NEL Train Fault Shouts Lack Of Crisis Communication

The North-East Line train fault of 11 April 2018 was my virgin experience of a rush hour train fault since I moved to Punggol. One would have thought that with the number of train faults experienced by the North-East Line operator, SBS Transit, they would have improved the communications and handling of train faults. However, my personal experience told another story. First, there were no announcements at the Punggol LRT stations of the train fault even though SBS Transit manages them. The train fault was reported as early as 7.10am as I had a friend who was also stuck in the train. I boarded the LRT at Coral Edge around 7.30am and I didn't hear of any announcement nor was there any signage to inform me o the train fault at Punggol Station. Second, the announcement kept saying that there would be a 15 minutes delay, but 15 minutes passed and the trains, on both side, wasn't moving. If the announcement would be more frank to say it will be a longer delay, commuters would

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9
