I have been developing in MS Access for a while now, roughly 1 year and counting, at the same time I’m also an avid fan of open source software. I’m especially interested in open office as an replacement for MS Access where money would be an issue i.e third world countries without the ability to ...
Just an add on to the previous post, still remember the superstar project manager that I had? Well for the SSE project we did encountered one error, all the team members was not able to solve it, we kept getting the dreaded "illegal operations" error and none too friendly information..The project manager was able to come save the day, he went through the memory dump (a skill …
screen shot of the simulation It has been a while since my last post, guess I was too caught up in my work that is frankly speaking 'killing' me. Feels bad when everyday you would go to work and engage in activities that kills off the 'part' of you that is what you believe in and stand for.Had gone through my archives today (sign of old age), came across an old project that I …
Out of topic post but as seen from a booklet on NDP...really does sums it up. However do thinks it's a message crying for help and the helplessness..
"You are as valuable as the time you are on TV." Nice quote from johan cruyff, which describes the current increase in web applications. The application who has most attention from the media would eventually win out.
Time flies when you are doing something you enjoy but it's really torturous when you are not. Here I am on a sunday night thinking about the week ahead and frankly it really makes me sick to think about all the 'administrative' work. Hope I can find enough motivation tomorrow morning to drag myself out of the bed to go to work.All I can say is that I'm already counting down …
It been a while since my last post. Sorry as I have certainly been very busy. Having to take on responsibilities really took me more time to get used to the job. One thing for sure is that it encourages me more to really be on my own, getting back to the 'cubicle nation' is really dreadful and taking a toll on my spirit.Of course I'm learning the skills that would be needed …
With the new vista here in singapore, guess it's really time that the local application developers shower some love on their icons. The new vista theme makes everything that's old look so out of place. On my desktop only the firefox and VLC icons looks acceptable.Guess with the exposure to such nice eye candies, customers here or globally would start to demand for better …
Sorry for the lack of updates so far, have been catching up with my old friends and ex-colleagues. My contract ends soon at the end of the year. Been doing a lot of procurement and administrative stuffs. Having a great time off for my brain.And it was during this 'time off' period that I'm able to decide what my next project should be. Am thinking about creating an online …
Was chatting with a long time friend. She mentioned something about her becoming more and more pessimistic after some bad things happening to her. Not sure about all of you but for me I was born a pessimistic person therefore I joined the IT line. It suits me well to be in the IT line, in my humble opinion for whatever role whatever system you are in, you should always be …
I've decided to get myself on long term contract, which I found one nice one. Lots of opportunities to learn stuffs. Mainly handling procurements, budgeting and dealing with customers. Which I think would help me in my ventures later on. Areas which I'm definitely very weak in.Secondly have been downgraded to C2L2 (Yes no more dreaded IPPT), on hindsight no more yearly $200 …
Since the previous post was on how the iphone's finger scrolling indirectly solves my lefty problem, here is another short one on some of the simple solutions that I like.If you frequent joelonsoftware's forums it has a very brilliant way of discouraging spammers. Instead of having moderators to ban spammers or deleting spam postings from the forum, here's how they do it. The …
With the announcement of the apple iphone, I like the rest of the world will be so looking forward to it. No this is not another blog post about the different features of the iphone but what the multi-touch function of the iphone would solve my problem.That problem is that with conventional pda/smart phones if I wanted to scroll down/up the page or document that I'm viewing …
I have recieved my dbs security device or whatever you call it. Initial usage was no problem but when I tried to use it just now there's no display, suspected the battery went flat on me. However there's no instruction on how to change the battery (don't want to try and force it open, penalty charges remember) , don't expect me to go and exchange for a new one DBS.. I don't …
gosh, time really does fly. It's already my last post of the year 2006. Sad to say that 2006 hasn't been really a great year personally. Things in the professional realm hasn't really taken off for me. Hopefully the next year will bring along much more fun and challenges to my career.so here are the list of stuffs that hopefully i can accomplish next year.get off …
This post is more for entrepreneurs who have too much time on their hands. I'm very interested in doing a series of podcast interviewing IT entrepreneurs in Singapore. Would like to have a feel whether there are people who are interested to join me/get interviewed by me. I like to communicate with people (I think I do), I think I shouldn't waste my talents in talking to …
Having seen the zune player from MS, I would say that I like the wireless feature the best. However I would think that It could be better done. I would suggest MS to put an LCD display panel along the ear phone wire. This panel would display whether you are willing to share songs with other people, it could be done maybe with just simple colour codes. e.g. red for no i'm not …
How time flies. It's going to be 2007 soon, time for a review of what I did for this year. Also whats a review without some predictions of the trends of the market for next year. Market as in the web applications space. (Will keep in mind to edit the predictions as often as possible)Professionally I'm pretty satisfied with my improvements. Was able to learn new stuffs, most …
Time for a quick post. Had been reading a lot of other people's code for my freelance gig. It's difficult to write good code but it's really much much more tedious to write good code that everyone can understand and maintain easily.Every developer certainly has their own style of writing codes. For example in the codes that I've been reading lately, my mind just can't seem …
Oh my, have a look at this scrybe web application. It certainly gives us a taste of what web 2.o can really be. Wonder how they do the offline synching though. My guess would be storing the changes using cookies. In any case history has shown us that maybe it's not the best technology that wins. So we shall see whether this takes off or not, or will it end up being auctioned …
