2 problems I see holding back web startups in Asia. 1. Local developers’ skills outdated 2. Local entrepreneurs too inward looking.
Notes
Short, title-less, often half-baked. Published anyway.
@jonbuford Yeah, any kind of statement is fine… too bad I’m living in 21st century & use e-statement for everything. @Oren_The_Red
@hypercasey She a #Lioness :) @iphanatics @bibzee
@Oren_The_Red Your’s a personal account? Or biz account?
@Oren_The_Red Really?! Without a HK address?! What bank? I’m going w/ Citibank but they require proof of address, which I don’t have.
@Oren_The_Red I am… as soon as I can open a bank account & get a credit card! :( @nicnocquee #ihatebanks
@calvincchan they tried it on some stocks website. (Typical HK) Pronunciation done extremely well! I’m genuinely surprised!
An awesome user idea - iPad meets NXT LEGO! You can make this into a real product! http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/76 via @lego_cuusoo
Saw a lot of good headlines on @Shogannai’s tweets this morning, click link -> FT.com popup ask for registration -> click X on tab. The End.
OSX Lion can speak Cantonese much better than my ABC / BBC friends here! LOL!
@ryankanno There was an Ignite talk from Backblaze a while back about this. It’s sad older biz-men don’t get benefits of open source!
@Oren_The_Red is the extra horsepower of i7 1.8GHz needed? @nicnocquee
Leading @Makible dev team doing Scrum Agile Development. Will add whiteboard to do burn down chart and then Test Driven Dev next.

@heatherarussell LOL @ Buld Rate. Ya know, exchange rate favors HKD, plus no tax! Come shop in HK! @tamegoeswild @stevenagata
@johndbritton so? We’re now all arts student! :D
Huh, miraculously finished Lion dl in last 4 hrs. Nice!
@Oren_The_Red @imorpheus Video not available in my country :(
@Oren_The_Red figures. Like @jonbuford said, I can’t wait till I get unlimited 4G! They’re never gonna upgrade the landlines! :(
@jonbuford like around 6GB
@nicwn 6 hours, a bit more than 1/3 of Lion downloaded. Vs it took my friends in Tokyo what? 30 mins to dl the whole thing? orz #HK #PCCW
Started downloading Lion just now, will report on progress when I wake up tomorrow. Guess how many %? #HK #PCCW
Sooo not looking forward to downloading Lion w/ my slow ass PCCW connection at home! #HK #sad
I picked the wrong time to go out shopping. Should’ve stayed home sitting in front of my Mac waiting! LOL
