My cousin-in-law, Jek Kin has started a new blog on Mathematics. He was formerly a maths teacher in a secondary school in Sungai Petani.
Thought of posting an interesting math question I've seen many years ago. The solution is quite easy, but only if you can figure out how to start.
I'm amazed with Australia's new Prime Minister's ability to speak Chinese perfectly. He even has a Chinese name 陆克文. His son-in-law is a Chinese-Australian. All his children studied Chinese in their schooling days. Hope he will improve the ties between China and Australia as the previous government has been trying to distance itself from Asia.
I have not been able to use my Thunderbird to send out e-mails for quite a few days.
Only until today I know the reason why.
My webhost e-mailed to inform me that TM has blocked port 25 from dynamic addresses. All outgoing mail will be directed to smtp.streamyx.com or smtp.tm.net.my.
I've tried out the above and they didn't work.
However, the alternative solution was provided by my webhost - simply change the port from the default (25) to 26, without having to change the SMTP server.
It's a lot of hassle to inform all my clients.
Also, the changes have also caused a lot of unhappiness among TM's customers, who need to spend a lot of man-hours to change the settings. Please read here for more information.
