Here’s a quick note to everyone who is subscribing to my podcast.

Thank you everyone who wrote and called to ask about my well being and my loved ones’.

I am doing fine here in Penang. I am not too much affected by the tsunami. But did see some of the destructions personally. It was very bad.

I haven’t been able to get Wifi for the last few days. I have applied for my parents a new DSL line. That’s still in the process (just like Adam Curry), I’m going through major broadband withdrawal. I’m here, (just like Adam Curry, again) in a Starbucks, sucking down all the broadband juice. Hurray! It’s only RM19 for a 30-day access prepaid card. Not bad at all. The only problem is, I have to go to various coffee houses to hunt for the Hotspots. But that’s better than dial up.

I will try to post some audio clips once I find the time to do so, and once I have broadband at home.

Also, thanks for those who wrote to my Gmail account. I can officially say that I have some fans now. People from all over, Melbourne, Netherlands, Malaysia, and so forth. I’ll comment about that later.

In the mean time, thanks to all those who are thinking about me. I’m safe, and am enjoying my friends and family.

(In fact, I’m typing this post in the company of one of my nephews, Marcus, at a Starbucks in the Prangin Mall)

Hello everyone. I am sorry I am unable to find time to do a show. I just now started getting ready for my big trip back to Malaysia. I’m leaving this Friday, and I haven’t really packed much yet. The big suitcase is full already, and non of the stuff is mine. I’m going to have to add another suitcase if I want any clothing at all. Perhaps I could just go back and shop for everything!

Anyway, I’d just like to mention that you can hear my voice on Coverville’s 32nd episode, “My Favorite Cover Countdown 2004″.

Plus, my song Langit Biru Kita was featured in a fellow podcaster, and fellow Malaysian’s podcast Boleh Rojak Pod.

It’s amazing how fast the podcast circle is expanding. And that’s a very good thing. (Oh, I miss my Martha)

I have been thinking about a phone setup for a while now. Last week, I finally dropped into Radio Shack to look around. I found what I needed, I bought a few adapters and went home to try it out. This is show is for me to test out my phone setup. I called a few people, non of them can chat. Finally when I got my cousin, Catherine in Malaysia, she could talk, but my setup on Skype is not working. I ended up stopping the show and just chat with her for a long time. I might have to do some of the recordings on my MiniDisc recorder. We’ll see.

Show #6 Duration: 10:00

Thanks to the internet, today, I found the blog of a high school friend. It’s nice to see his pictures and read his blog entries.

I hope that more of my friends would have their own blogs, and for those who has one, please let me know.

If you’re interested, my brother blog is Blah Blah Blog, and my friend, Kin’s blog is Kin’s Blog.

This is probably one of the best ways to keep in touch with friends. Especially now that podcasting is growing so rapidly, everyone can almost have their own podcast. It’d even be more intimate than writing. However, there are times when writing is more appropriate.

Henry, if you’re reading this, you should start your own blog. I’ll be more than happy to help you set one up. Now you just have to get your wireless card on your computer.

Friends… send me your link if you have a blog.

I thought I wasn’t going to have time to do a show today. Well, I did, tonight, at around 10PM. No guests this week, but I manage to talk a lot by myself. About what’s coming up for the holiday, a bit about my trip back to my home town, Penang, and thanks to those who wrote me after they’ve heard the shows.
