#rememberingMrLKY

today at 0318hr marks our Founding Father’s 与世长辞。 空气中飘荡着一股哀伤。perhaps only Singaporeans, like me, who are born and grown up in this place all their lives could feel it better. one could find facts and tributes on the Remembering (Mr) Lee Kuan Yew fb page, or RememberingLeeKuanYew dot SG.

生老病死是人生必经之路。或许这短暂的一生能像李光耀先生所说的一样,为众人或身边的人造福,也算不枉此生了:

籍此向我们的建国总理献上最后的一份敬意,感谢您为我们奉献了一生。

Amitābha 阿弥陀佛。

maximising network file transfer speed

on a 1Gbps LAN, the theoretical transfer speed is 1024/8=128MB/s. but my experience of copying files between PCs and/or NAS through LAN is in the range of Kb/s or a few MB/s, an extremely far cry from the theoretical speed. my guess is that the limitation is in the software or OS. did a quick search on how to improve network transfer speed, many “solutions” out there, but the tip from howtosolutions.net appears to effect some improvement in speed:

1. Disable LSO (Large Send Offload) found in Advanced settings of network card in Windows Device Manager.

2. Enable and maximise the value of “Jumbo Packet” in Advanced settings (this is found in the comments within the above post)

works on physical LAN. not sure if it works for WiFi connections though.

SG50 heart-shaped logo

was looking around for a SG50 heart-shaped logo, but only found the red circle, and the heart map. so decided to ‘combine’ the two, and here you go, my little ‘creation/contribution’ for/to our celebration (:

after 10 years …

… of “无官一身轻”, i am now an RO again! to only 1 colleague (: any difference 10 yrs before, and 10 yrs later? i would think so. i would treat my “reportee” as a co-learner more than ever before. i hope i would learn and grow as much as she would learn and grow in the time that we work together, and with/from the pple that we will be working with.
