Thoughts on software development and project management
He's an Engineering Manager from Vietnam...he's great blogs on software developement & it's worth a read...
My brain is scattered all over the place…
Projects are starting to pile-up…
Work loads are starting to crash-in from all directions…
Break them down to smaller parts…
Manage, Prioritize & Isolate…
Collate once completed…
Lose standards, set one…
No Templates for project documentations, create one…
No design architecture, build one…
What is there to loose, in the absence of any…
…none but only gains…
Music is food for the soul, it has been said…
And I indulge myself with it… I listen to music, in fact; I prefer listening to music rather than watching TV. Depending on the mood, my music preferences varies across assorted genres, some of which I don't even know what… J it's music nonetheless & I enjoy it…
I use, Winamp 5.31 for U3 (click link to download) when I'm listening to music while at work. (shrug), I don't have those portable mp3 players, so I opted to install a player on my workstation. I prefer using my winamp over windows media player, even if my media player is the latest version already.
Although Media player has got some cool features (especially internet radio streaming & it looks better than the old versions) it takes a lot of space in the system, it has a large foot print. It takes up almost twice a much (~28000kb) to Winamp's (~11500kb). I knew that the former eats up a lot of space but I never actually checked it, till now using Process Explorer (click link to download).
Nothing spoils the pleasure of listening to a mood-centric tune while working than a machine that's slowed down by an application meant to make your work better. Music helps relieve a bit of work stress; it can even help productivity since there are people who like to listen to music while working.
What I like the most of the Winamp, is I can carry it anywhere, along w/ my favorite mp3's… and launch it on any workstation.
We just moved to a new office last March 1st, it's a lot better than our previous one. We're no longer packed up in a small room with our desks so close to each other...
Our new office is on the new building, we call KOM Tower... that's Keppel Offshore and Marine Tower to be exact.
The space is reminiscent of my cube at NCR-CDC; where our workstation are setup on the corner of our cubes and we have a large desk space on the left and right sides.
We had our own phone lines then, but what we have here, is an in/out tray... I can do away with the phone :) it' s not a loss... Where my screen used to be a 17" CRT is now and LCD... the machine is faster too :) a C2D w/ 2GB RAM... hehehehe I feel like a kid with a new toy hehehehe... The place still smells of wood working & it's till pretty quiet here... the rest of the departments haven't moved in yet. but most of our team are in place already... soon, there'll be about 3-4 groups on the floor w/ bosses in private office on the sides... yeps, it's bound to get a tad noisier but then again, it's all bound to have some noise or two.. not unless I'm all alone on the floor :) niways, this is good...
Keppel Offshore and Marine Tower is located in the TUAS area of the Jurong Industrial Estate in Singapore... Ok, ok... I've moved again... and yes I would agree... this is the road less taken, maybe not taken at all... w/ all this moving and traveling... but then again... chances and opportunities are not always predictable; so you just have to grab as much as you can while you still can.
Hunting here in Singapore has been in the works for some time, it's just that the prey were hard to come by. so here we are... and I took the road again.
On foresight, this does not end here... maybe, just maybe... and I'm just hoping... praying... this time around things would work out...
The best laid plans may not always be attainable but at least, there's a better chance to get things to move forward...
I stumbled on this website as I was looking for free programming books (in e-book format):
http://www.freeprogramminge-books.com
I was searching for articles, references specific to the .NET Framework and I noticed the site has a vast repository of references for other programming platform also.
I was able to download ebooks on the following:
The Art and Science of Web Design by Jeffrey Veen
Microsoft patterns & Practices: Design and Implementation Guidelines for Web Clients
Microsoft Building Secure ASP.NET Applications
I have yet to squeeze in the time to catch up on some reading but it was a relief that there were these articles available.
There are other sites which has free ebooks, but these are what I have uncovered for now...
Anyhow, it was a relief to have stumbled unto this coz this can be a great help whenever I'd be needing to look for references.
