Tiresome…

My back ache by the long drive from Shah Alam, the weather is gloomy, maybe its the monsoon season. I wouldnt know, I have little interest in such things (even though it will serve me well in the future to predict certain outcome).

I slaved hours in front of the HP PC dc7600 to make the ghost image of its harddrive but to no avail. I thought I have made it and take ease of the subject but it was a mistake. It is the same mistake as doing ghost for the PC. Doing ghost took a lot of effort, which I didnt know why for its functions are simple and straightforward. Maybe its a branded PC. Installing the software manually took less effort and time (for the moment it looked as if it took little time).

I arrived at JPS Shah Alam at 1.30 and make my way to its SCADA Room. The network cable I took from an offline PC and put it into the new one. Google answered my ping but not SPEKS. Calmly I called Husni and asked for further guidance. The instructions were non-trivial. I didnt know whether it was me or him who doesnt understand the situation and the solution. I also called Izan (Husni’s technical person, I presume) and asked for a solution. His guidance was also vague. I took my time understanding the situation and called them a couple of times and was asked to look at the existing old system. The people with authority was absent so we waited…

Argh! This is frustating so I’ll skip the details, we finally decided to test the existing speks on existing PC if it works and when it does, we took the new HP PC and put it there to test the connection to SPEKS. It works. I finally figured there’s something wrong here, the network configuration is somewhat above my understanding or maybe I missed something, the pc that cant ping speks in on the same network as the other 2 pc which was able to ping SPEKS. What is the difference? There’s no fucking ISDN driver and such installed on both PCs.

The fatigue of the mind effects the body more. Tired. I need some rest. Sore-ja

The end of a new beginning, the beginning of a new end.

New year in gregorian calendar. I didnt celebrate it nor did i set up any resolutions for it. Well.. i did aim for 100K at the end of the year. Not in monetary amount but in assets.

I figure i shouldnt burden myself with resolutions because the drawback will be heavy indeed.

I have to think up of something more. I’ve been slacking for a few days. The weather is indeed gloomy and unappealing for me to go out of the house.

Searching for something..

Alas, I have lost my self, somewhere within my thoughts. I am no longer as focused as I used to be, doing work without any interruptions. I just play games, watch anime and getting depressed.

I’m currently watching Juuni Kokki (12 Kingdoms). It is a nice anime. With all of the morals and lessons stirred into one. Much to be learn from this one.

I tried to be nice to dla, but maybe I just overdid it. I dont know what to say. I’ll wait for a call. Heh.

There’s nothing more I could do but to get a hold of myself. Like Osaka-san from Azumanga Daioh said, “Shikari.. Shikari..”. Azumanga will forever be one of the best anime I’ve ever seen.

I’m currently doing nKnowledge.org and eWasiyyah.com. My friend called, he told me that the client is nagging to use the system, withdrawal will be made if i cant do it. Its just not I cant do it, its something else. I need something, looking for something to cheer for me. Whatever the situation might be. I’ll have to ponder upon this.

Sore-ja.

Life’s like that..

I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride for a couple of weeks. Been up, too energetic to stop doing work, and down, by pressure and unexpected turn of events. Well, I guess I just accept it as some sort of character building thing.

I’ve installed the japanese language pack on this machine, nice, I can type and learn a few japanese characters. Control Panel -> Regional Options -> Input Locale -> Add -> Japanese.

I’ve watched Mai HiME, and currently following Bleach, Naruto, Mai Otome, Yakitate Japan, Blood, CSI Las Vegas.

Just entered my office. Surfed a bit, stumbled upon phpBMS, which I find quite nice. I dont about others, but this is kind of the thing i’m looking for. I’ll look into the source code and learn what I can.

What a day..

I’m feeling rather angry and dissappointed with someone, even though i didnt admit it, but i recognize the feeling. This stuff just happens. Wish I knew how, the hint that it would happen, it’ll be great to know bout this, not because to prevent it (it’ll be great if it can be prevented) but to brace myself for it.

Anyway.. i was watching CSI Season 6 episode 6. Its about the issue of ppl pregnate themselves and carry the baby and only to give the baby back to its father after delivering it. I dont know if its ok in religion to do this. I’ll have to find out soon.

Oh yes.. about the training thing..

The new working place’s environment is horrible, maybe because its too “professional” for me. Serene quiet environment where the only thing you hears is people typing on the keyboard. Other than that, 4 hours of commute is unbearable for me at least. I’d be better of earning a lower wage at a place 15 minutes from my place.

That day, 13th October, I decided not to work there, I even took the courtesy to go and tell the CEO that I dont want to work there. He doesnt understand, he thinks i’m some naive lazy kid who doesnt have discipline in life and doesnt look / know at the wider picture, of what things to come. He didnt let me quit, he told me to go continue my training, and see how it goes. I didnt sign any contract so.. rather than be tired, unproductive, grumpy and 10 ringgit less every day, i took off when the CEO went to lunch. Arr..

So.. i’m still in the same place, coming whenever i want to, wearing whatever i want. Doing things that i like, with friends.

I’ll just have to wait how things will be. We will be strong sooner or later. The sooner the better.
There will always be problem. Its just a matter of how we handle it.

Training Programme.. Me?

Here i am, in a new place, going through a training programme to qualify myself as a software engineer. Well, i cant blame them, they’re playing it safe. I mean who wants to hire someone they hardly even knew to work for them, paying high salary without testing her/him.

While answering the questions, i stumbled upon a section which reads “Working Life Discipline - Hardwork”, so i typed exactly that into google and i bumped into quite a nice article about hardwork, self-discipline. Its a good read. The comment’s good too.

Nvidia Drivers for linux, monitor problem resolve?

My linux installation wont let me set the resolution to 1024 x 768. I dont know why, i tried to config XF** something by including 1024×768 in the modes, but it doesnt work.

I’ll try installing nvidia drivers tomorrow. Here’s a detail instruction on installing it.
A forum post I found while searching.

Since this post is quite related to graphics. I found a nice opensource 3D engine called Sylphis. Even though I havent tested it yet. Looks nice. I’ll have to allocate some time to look into it.
