Gong Xi Fa Cai I wish you a happy, prosperous and fortuous New Year of the Fire Pig

That's year 4704 in the lunar calendar in case you were wondering, and will be celebrated on February 18th through the March 4th 2007. Next year's Year of the Earth Rat will be celebrated on February 7, 2008 (4705!)

Say goodbye to SPAM... - or - an explanation of how it works thereof...

Welcome!

I'm James Harold Lui, originally from Chicago, Illinois, but now residing in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, U.S.A. with my kitty companion Counselor.

I'm a Millenium Mensa Life Membern; Foothill Senior High School - Sacramento, California; graduated with a B.S. in Operations Management and Industrial Engineering from CalPoly Pomona; founder of the Scientific Research Foundation; avid motorcyclist, fish angler (no fly fishing, please), MIDI musician, gastronomic creator and consumer, and cat provider (see the Kitty Page).

I attended National University for my MBA in telecommunications and run passive memberships in the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) and the Los Angeles Oracle Users Group (LAOUG) and active board membership in the Southwest Region Oracle Applications Users Group (SROAUG). And because everybody seems to ask, my official capacity is as a full-time Oracle Developer, Database Administrator (DBA) and System Admin for Unix and NT-based systems for a local Computer Systems Integration company. Recently also obtained a techical authoring position at ReviewNet, a technical interviewing resource company providing automated testing and interview analysis systems.

And as if that weren't enough... I'm also an Improvisation junkie performing with Room To Improv and Impro Theatre's Post Pub Curry ensemble, and Pacific Theatre LA ensemble member and have recently acquired a simply amazing Shinnyo-en Guiding Parent who is taking my life to whole new levels of giving and sharing with others.

William Shakespeare - Sonnet XXIX:

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
