Pushed to think

I have kept my eyes watching job positions offered since months ago.
However I've still not sent any application letter.
Recently, I was pushed two times.

1 - Days before, my boss asked me to give him my expected salary, in the coming week's annual review.
2 - Ex-boss in my placement company, has asked me coming back.

Well, these days my brain keeps processing.
A little bit sense of exhaustiveness comes again.

I need to rest, a while, maybe sometime later this year.

Single-Threaded Mind

Well, I'm quite sure that my brain is currently, single-threaded.
Once I'm thinking 'bout my career, I cannot code.
If I'm coding smoothly, I fail to aware hunger.

Perhaps I need to include a multi-threading library into my mind.

Xbox 360

The outlook seems cool
It doesn't look like a game console, but, a DVD Player / Recorder.

Star Wars in /.

I found lots of StarWars fans in /.

Someone claims that it's surprisingly good
Hopefully, it is really good this time.

EP1 & 2 were so disappointing.

Recently, I get the rumor about EP3 as the last episode of StarWars. As I remember, Lucas said that the complete story should be divided into 9 episodes.
Well, I wanna see the 3 ending episodes if they do exist, no matter Lucas does it or anyone else.

Improving Application Quality Using Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Improving Application Quality Using Test-Driven Development (TDD)

It looks good,
especially for the guys don't play agile dev. & still fight with classic or legacy models, just like me.

Tao Of Programming

Tao Of Programming: "A manager went to the master programmer and showed him the requirements
document for a new application. The manager asked the master: 'How
long will it take to design this system if I assign five programmers
to it?'

'It will take one year,' said the master promptly.

'But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How long will it
take it I assign ten programmers to it?'

The master programmer frowned. 'In that case, it will take two years.'

'And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?'

The master programmer shrugged. 'Then the design will never be
completed,' he said."

Nice articles, but I've not read all yet.

The Career Affirmation?

Recently, I'm thinking about my career.

No matter my current job or my placement job, PowerBuilder is the primary dev. tool.
It is rarely found in the skillset required in the market nowadays. If you get into the job seeking websites like JobsDB & CareerTimes, you can see plenty of Java / .net positions. Well, I can find 2 to 3 PB posts in a month.

Be thinking twice: Should I continue my career along with PB? The answer is obvious.
However, it hasn't offered enough lift to drive any decision yet.

The Phantom of the Opera

The DVD version is out!
I've just bought it today.

The movie is quite long, 141mins in total.
Recently I always feel tired, so, let me spend a weekend on it later.

ps: On the other hand, region-3 DVD of Bad Education is still not yet released.

Myopia's came to me

Since 1st of May, I has become a 4-eyes-guy.
Well, the glasses make me not-so-comfortable.

Just it does help me facing my Laptop. At this moment, I wear it only for using with computer.

Hopefully it won't be getting worse anymore, 'coz I like to see the world ONLY with my eyes, the natural manner.
