The Craigslist Client.

Posted on April 11, 2008 by Percy Kwong

OK, After many experiences on Craigslist, I can definitely say that the majority of them are.. well.. **Special**. These people seem to think wasting your time is entertaining. They have no sense of appreciation, nor do they believe in common courtesy. While I can say that there are a few people that aren’t that way,…

The Open Source Government – a Challenge to Government

Posted on March 31, 2008 by Percy Kwong

In my 15+ years of consulting, I’ve noticed one thing about government in general. They’re just incredibly ass-backwards in their IT. While most government entities have some good IT people, it’s usually run very poorly. I can’t seem to find one government, Federal, State, or Local that has their IT shop in order. They rely…

VOIP for Travelers…

Posted on February 24, 2008 by Percy Kwong

OK, I’m going away for a trip. A long trip (well, not that long. Gonna swing through Africa and Europe to clear my head.) So I decided this would be a good time to test VOIP on the Road. I initially had a few thoughts about how to approach this whole thing and here are…

Stocks and how I’m staying ahead of the market.

Posted on February 22, 2008 by Percy Kwong

People ask me all the time (well the friends that know me well) how I always manage to walk away from the market relatively unscathed. The truth of the matter is I do it with a little bit of common sense, a lot of foresight, and big ole BULLSHIT meter. Being a former corporate executive…

Wow.. we’re getting snow.

Posted on February 22, 2008 by Percy Kwong

Pretty serious stuff.  Lots of it.  I didn’t even know it was coming, but I’m looking at 9 inches outside of my window.  I was thinking about buying an outdoor wood furnace to power a heated driveway (probably be used no more than 10 times a year), but one load of wood and just walk…

Biodiesel

Posted on February 22, 2008 by Percy Kwong

With Gas Prices Reaching $4.00 per gallon, I’m thinking of switching 2/3 cars to Biodiesel.  I figure I could put a biodiesel processor in my shed and basically save myself a whole bunch of cash.  A 100 Gallon processor would be about $1500.00 (alot less if I build it myself).  Cars, they’re cheap enough.. A…

Gas and Electric Reductions

Posted on February 22, 2008 by Percy Kwong

Well, I can say that it’s pretty ugly.  Gas + Electric more than $1000.00 a month.  I wondered if I could do anything about it, so I took a look at a few things and figured, why not give it a shot?  Worse Case, I hate the implementations and I undo my actions. I went…
