Chasing unpaid account

Cash flow is very important to a startup. One important determinant of cash flow is the collection of account receivables.
Going after unpaid account is a delicate balance between spending valuable time and resources going after it and spending the same time and resources on the business. Unpaid account is also a source of stress […]

Integrated internet instant messaging

Updated  at FreeBizWare.
ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, QQ. If you, like me have an account in each of these instant messanging (IM) services, then you probably have all these programs installed. These programs not only take up valuable space in the notification area (especially on a notebook), they are also memory hog. Each comes with heaps of […]

United States Information Technology Office in Beijin

 http://www.usito.org/
With a introduction that reads "…to represent US information technology industries in China, to monitor and express support for legislation conducive to US export and investment opportunities, and to promote further opening of China’s technology markets to U.S. firms", one has to take into perspective that was written.

Opensource as a model in China and developing countries

Classifying a country such as China and India is difficult. Are they developing? The differences between urban and rural are simply too great to give a singular classification. Certainly the major cities equal any developed country in infrastructure.

Remember the good […]

Business and the Internet

Harvard Business School Case Selection - Business Fundamentals Series - Business and the Internet
This looks like a compliation of cases and HBR articles as there wasn’t a corresponding record on Harvard Business Online. Inside the back page it is marked "For sales and distribution in China only". At 21RMB (~3USD), this is a steal. A […]

CPF investment

One important asset of most Singaporean is the CPF (Central Provident Fund). Having stopped working for almost 2 years now means that my CPF account had stopped growing.
At the same time, because I started on my own right after school for 2 years, I effectively have roughly 3 years worth of work that contributed […]

Networking considered harmful?

Went for a networking session organised by Appiir tonight.
Networking is considered essential to every entrepreneur. I knew that and always take opportunity to network. Despite being rather introvert in nature, I try to meet people as much as possible to hone my networking skill.
However tonight’s session convinced me that networking could be considered harmful […]

Big things first and there is always space

You must have heard something that goes like this.
"A teacher held up a jar and proceeded to fill it up with marbles. Then he asked the class if the jar is full. The student answered that it was.
Then he picked up a pack of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the […]

Create PDF file for free

Updated at Free Biz Ware.
This is one rather least known and but a really valuable program to have. If I tell you you can create and print PDF file, for free, would you buy me a dinner?
Each time I send a friend a document in PDF format, they will ask if I have a copy […]
