Boyd Chan

My name is Boyd and I’m a Service Management Specialist with a knack for operational data gathering, transformation, analysis and reporting. In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA). I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets. I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics. I have also written and edited articles for Neowin - you can check out my articles over @ https://www.neowin.net/news/poster/boyd_chan I hope you enjoy reading my blog!

Apple iPad – Market Disrupting or DOA?

You may or may not have heard about (or seen) the new Apple iPad but if you are interested, check out the keynote and promo video.

Web Hosts Ain’t Web Hosts

Over the last few months, I became disappointed with my web host, Lunarpages. I’ve been with them for just under six years so this was by no means a “fly by night” arrangement. As someone who lives, breathes and works in IT, I know it would be a perfect world if everything ran at 100% …

Resuming normal blogging…

I’ve decided to go back to my blog as Facebook is nice for short things but my stuff gets lost in the sea of CafeTown achievements, FarmTown gifts and Bejewled high scores. I’d like to have a dedicated spot for my meaningful reflections, thoughts and reviews/ I’ll fiddle around with this blog (now hosted on …
