The new Malaysia

Alhamdullillah.... yesterday (Wednesday - 9/5/2018) was a historic day for Malaysia. Thousands of malaysians went out early in the morning, braving long queues in the hot Malaysian sun, to cast their votes... and in doing so, cast out Barisan Nasional and installed Pakatan Harapan as the ruling party of Malaysia. Barisan Nasional who have been ruling over Malaysia ever since its' independence until yesterday. Today, insyaAllah, Tun Mahathir will be sworn in as the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia. The man who rules over Malaysia for most of my life as the 4th Prime Minister will once again take over the mantel of power. InsyaAllah to do good and make amends with regards to all the bad things and precedence he has done before. The story arc of him and the champion of the people (Anwar Ibrahim) has been long and worthy of a it's own trilogy. Hopefully now we can finally see its' grand conclusion where the truth is finally revealed, justice is finally served, and the people of Malaysia can finally hold their heads up high and be proud of their leaders.

Me myself... I am hopeful. With the dawn of a new era, where the people of Malaysia is woke and aware, we could be seeing a whole new chapter in the lives of ordinary Malaysians. We have changed something that was before this seems unchangeable, maybe after this we could even change ourselves. To be better citizens of the world and ultimately make it a better place.

As for everything else... there is a time and place for it...

Thank you fellow Malaysians who voted for change... we have done it.
But our journey does not end here. We have to remain vigilant and make sure what happened to Barisan Nasional does not happen to Pakatan Harapan. Do not raise our leaders to the point where we cannot question them and they do as they please. We must hold them accountable for their actions and promises. And more importantly, that they always remain just and fair to all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion, wealth or status. And that once they do not deliver, we change them again. To serve the people.

To the future....

Food first post

My blogs' name is High-Tech Rojak but I don't recall ever talking about food. So here's a first. Just recently I got some free time and finally got to cook the pasta I've bought for ages. So here's an account of how it went down.. :) Okay. That's the thing I cooked. I have no idea what it's called. At first I was thinking of buying the ribbon ones, then my wife looked at the colorful spiral ones and said "why not get these? they're more colorful" and so we got them (yes, we know nothing about pasta.. :) So I boiled it, actually put some salt and oil into the water so that they won't stick, drained it and tadaaaaa, you'd get the above. I remember once I tried to cook macaroni and I didn't drain it after boiling it, it filled up the whole pot. LOL... Learned my lesson. Next up the sauce. Like I said we don't know anything about pasta so here's the ingredients we prepared. Yes ladies and gentleman. Instant pasta sauce all bottl

Documentation is a must... after this.

I've been thinking quite a bit about documentation and the 'cost' it involves. And when I say documentation, I mean documentation in general about anything. One obvious case with the industry I'm involved in is user documentation (a.k.a The Manual). Creating great features in software takes time and effort but if it is not documented then the user won't even know about it and finally it never gets used. But then while documenting it you just wish that you're working on the next cool thing rather than have to write this up. So finally you end up not doing the documentation or doing it rather badly. Same thing with this blog writing. I have been doing some pretty interesting things with my phone (rooting it and using cynogenmod and all), some pretty significant life changes (my grandmother passed away) and a lot of other things which I should probably like to remember better or reflect more on it but not documented (here or anywhere permanent) and it would probabl

The Future Of Gaming

I love playing computer games. It's what originally drove me to learn computer programming, I wanted to create my own games. Until now I still have very little success with that, but... I have learnt to program web applications quite well and earning my pay using those skills. And I love open source software. Ever since I started programming professionally, my main work OS has always been Linux (various distributions and all and currently on Arch Linux). I always install dual-boot because... hardware problems (some projectors and printers just couldn't be detected by Linux when I started out, that's mostly not a problem now) and mainly to play games (sure there was some open source games available, but apart from "Battle for Wesnoth" and "FreeCiv" I don't actually recall any games I've played extensively enough to be remembered). But recently the gaming scene in LinuxLand has improved tremendously, partly thanks to the Windows 8 app store like
