Excuse the long break in posting - but I was offline traveling through Singapore & Malaysia* ... Amazing countries, this.

For the unlikely case that one of you is also thinking of going to Malaysia, two recommendations: Do not travel to the Cameron Highlands, go to Fraser's Hill instead - its much more serene and less touristy (go there with your own car - the road up/down is great fun  to drive - and stay in Ye Olde Smokehouse).  And second, when going to Kuala Lumpur: see if you can get special deals for the amazing Maya Hotel - if you're lucky its cheaper than your average Day's Inn. And even if you don't stay there you may want to contemplate having a cocktail in the 13th floor "Sky Lounge" terrace, your table lit by the very close Petronas Towers looking like something straight out of Star Wars.

My FOAF file is quite minimal in information content and will stay this way - since as much as I believe in the publication of machine understandable data on the web, I'm also a fan of privacy; of trying to preserve some private information in the digital age (although I'm afraid this may be a battle that is all but lost).

Update: Alright - had another look at the FOAF specification .. I wasn't aware that there are quite a bit more work related / non privacy relevant attributes and relations that I haven't filled in - so, I'll grow my FOAF file in due time :)

Yea, it's been a long time since the last post. I've started to be a bit more serious about sports and ended up going to training/playing every day - which cut down the amount of time I can spend on stuff like this Blog ... but such a long time without posts won't happen again ... probably
