Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet The Reader or Abedib as he is fondly known by his circle of friends. Abedib wanted to include his Tag-Board on his blog at Typepad. Failing to attach the HTML code to typepad interface, he created a weblog on blogspot called Wakaf to host his Tag-Board.
I was finding ways to include my Tag-Board and some webrings on my blog. After a bit of googling I found a comment this site, with instructions to include HTML codes on TypePad's Typelist. One attempt later and voila!, I have my tagboard and my webrings on my blog.
I immediately emailed the good news to Abedib and included the instructions but he was still unable to attach the Tag-Board. I offered to help him out and he agreed. We meet up for lunch at his favourite hiding spot in KLCC. I ordered latte and chicken sandwich. Abedib came in, and within 5minutes, his Tag-Board is now on TypePad ;).
Indeed as Sarini mentioned, Abedib is full of knowledge and wisdom and he is very generous in sharing them with people. Words of wisdom and knowledge flow endlessly, as he talked with great depth on business, religion and current affairs. He also speak of his experience as an engineer in a government agency, as a director of a public listed company, as a father and as a Malaysian citizen trying to make ends meet.
Abedib is also fond of photography and i got to checkout his spanking new digicam! Funky little thing i must say. It is a bit smaller than its predecessor the C-730UZ, fits nicely in my palm. At 4megapixels and 10x optical zoom, this baby rocks!
The 1.5 hour meet passed by like a few minutes. By 3pm, i had to leave, Abedib had to meet his friend. I do hope to meet up with him again.
