今天是建国总理李光耀先生的国葬典礼。外头自早上就下着大雨。老天也为这哀伤的一天流泪。雨势渐大，我们没有到路边给李先生送行。2015年3月29日13:55时，我们遥送李先生的灵车经过联邦西道。
永别了。再次由衷献上无限的敬意与感激——谢谢您李光耀先生。 #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 (：
