Sick… again..

It has been a while since my last downtime…
lots to be done this month, so I can’t just call a day off, so I did like:
Dark coffee + Asthma medicine + cold and flu Panadol….

It sure does let me work thru the day, but heartbeat rate really gone up to a uncomfortable level…
I am getting old…

In memory of the Pike River miners.

Is just sad to hear the news….

To all miners who lost their life in the Pike River tragedy, R.I.P.

Eeeeiiii…..ar………..at work….

Smash those PHP/SQLs/JSON/JS/Trouble Support please!!!!

Update 2010 Nov…

I really should re-arrange my life, currently I felt worked out by life, like dragging towards “don’t know where” by truck or so, chasing deadlines and target day by day….

And honest I don’t seems to be able to get my personal life to get alone..

Example:
– Washing “has to be done” and “to the laundry shop” in behind 4~5 days, resulting in “lack of clean clothing”.
– Pick-up laundry was delayed in 3~4 days (can only pick up < 1930 near base), resulting in complains from the laundry lady. - Normal grocery shipping was way behind, the worst case was running low and out of toothpaste and toilet roll for 3 days. - To be developed great idea all delayed to "time unknown", bug fixes that were plan was way behind.. - I was noticed by quite a few friends/mates/family member that I over used the word "Sir/Mam" in conversations resulting from "over customer support handle". - Misses a couple out-going with R, either I was way too tired, or time does not match. Routine is: Mon to Fri - Wake up > Rush to work > Phone calls > Phone calls > Phone calls > Phone calls > 19:00 > Start coding > coding > coding > 2300 Going home > Bath > Some news reading > Sleep > Return.
Sat – Rush to wake up > lunch with R > spend time with R > Some news reading > Sleep
Sun – Sleep > Sleep > Sleep > 1600 Lunch > News Reading + House Keeping > Sleep

Well from the good point of views, at least I am still alive, shouldn’t complain too much…

Kinect at work..

It sure is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking one.. 🙂

Tapwave Zodiac – in pair.

Thanks to friend TF, when he was cleaning his house he found this nice piece of hardware, it was known that this is the first batch of engineering sample from Tapwave, and he was nice enough to gave it to me as a part of the great PalmOS devices collection.

I received the device at work today, and my other Zodiac was sitting nicely and lonely in the drawer, so why not some nice recharge and expose?

Well… Good old Palm days, it was great….

Anyway, special credit goes to friend GC, especially TF, wish you have a great life and all the best for new voyages.

Honest, I think it can get better, the overall operating speed was not that “fast” given that this as a “flagship” product.

My feeling is the OS can do more fine tune, we should give it sometime there,
but IMHO, for the price, usage, I will go for an iPad (even I am very not happy with iTunes and the “Open-ness” of iOS)

Working right now, post more later.

Testing a lot of new toys.

Currently thanks to mate J, I am testing a lot of different toys.

Will try to post some of them as a review/preview.

Confirm?
