Goals.. swallowed by time

Today i didnt do much. I wrote a few emails, configured a few users in the HRMS and read a lot, argue with an MMU student, which is normal.

They think i’m “berlagak” and “macam bagus”. Well.. they can think what they want (even though it is my fault for intimidating and erm.. other things). Oh well, i can be nice and be quite a nuisance if i want to. And.. she (feura_iml) broke her promise of paying me today!

Bought a book yesterday. Write Great Code by Randall Hyde. Even though reading it is tedious. It does gives a few insight.

At first i thought of buying another book, Code Optimization by Kapersky, but a review changed my mind. I’m gonna buy Joel on Software instead. Read about his experience in this industry could give me a few edge that i required.

Hrm.. Other than that, i’m thinking of writing a module for accessing databases (SQLite, MySQL, Access) for VB and maybe for Python too, so that i can rapidly cook up an application whenever i need. Maybe tomorrow i’ll do that.

Browsed a few sites about application security, mostly web application, because its the “thing” in this information age. Accessing information, communications anywhere possible. hehehe. I visited OWASP, Ounce Labs, and visit a few sites about code optimization. A node in perlmonks.org is quite interesting. There’s also a discussion about Python/C at joelonsoftware.com. Python performance tips, optimize perl.. and other sites which i have forgotten about. hehe.

I took some little time that i have updating HRSC’s documentation site. It’s a wiki thing using MediaWiki. Quite nice. Encourages collaboration and centred to it, not like all the memos being sent through email which i have to scrouge my mailbox to find it back.

Confucius said, “A fanatic is one who redoubles his efforts while losing sight of his goal.”

Oh my. I wouldnt want that. I’ll be heading to mph, buy Joel on Software and head home to read, and think about my goals.
