สวัสดีครับ! สบายดีไหมครับ? We have been planning on shifting our operation base in Thailand. Although this plan is at a very embryonic stage (we don’t have a set place yet!), things can move fast, especially now that the COVID-19 pandemic hurdles are being resolved as we speak.

For years, I’ve been collaborating with several good French clients, and it’s been great!! 🙂 France is very well-known for its high-context culture; a whole bunch of intricate (yet often bombastically bold!) nuances is packed in a spoonful of short sentence… and unfortunately, those nuances are often lost in translation.

This leap also took some considerable amount of courage for me, since I kept relying on MacPorts for almost two decades. So far, so … Read more

Prior to this month, I was grappling with a bit of dilemma. On all of my 4 functioning workstations (MacPro, Mac mini, and two laptops), I had different versions of command-line job tools installed.
