"these software people are crazy..." (tap! tap!! tap!!!)

...obilix would say, if he ever stay tuned with any RSS feeds of the IT industry.
There are so many funny things happening arround,... well...
.. that San Fransisco network guy(name: Childs!) who has changed admin passwords to the whole city network and how officials act/comment on various aspects....
... then cuil search engine.. with indexes 3times bigger than google's, somehow manage to come up with non-relevant results/pics all the time...and whats more... when i searched with my name in the box, it asked me to "try to think of different words to describe your search." :D now im very much greatful to google and yahoo who tops me up with the right results...
... then google knol, finally sees the light, as a complete infant.. reminds of my cousin's baby who smiles for anything u say!
... well there are so much out there... after reading.. most of it comes down to a cartoon i've got via mail long time back (below). Explans a lot of things around.. rite? ;)



(i dont have copyright info for this, but the auther owns it for real for his great work.)

Trainee Software Engineer...

...was found to be an (highly) interesting role. Being new to the real.... "world" and/or "art" of software, there's always some thing challenging and new to learn. One of things you would immediately notice is, the limitations you have imposed to you by yourself on selected technologies is not a real fact anymore. You should be able to get things done, in the right way, using the best technologies for the task. And time for traditional "learning before using" doesn't seems to exist with in practical dimensions.

another thing i noticed is the automatic transformation of attitude towards industrial ethics. Even before you know, you would bind your self to stick to legal use of software,...well basically you don't visit to those bookmarked crack sites the way you used to be... if u not gonna buy it..jus use that foss alternative.

experience n exposure is at ultimate level... only doubt is whether you can slow down in the process to capture the maximum of it. and if gonna write all about it... (scratching head wit a lame smile!)

Well the best part of the whole scenario is... you get paid for doing what you love to do! isnt that just awsome?! :)

in aeturnum

well... the industrial placement starts!

Aeturnum is a type of place that suits a person like me, i suppose. Middle scale software company that is in mid-early stages of expanding and growth. Different kind of projects that are progressing at different phases and stages. Gives more exposure to various aspects of project life cycle as well as wide variety of technologies. And hopefully, a place where you can do some work that matters.

So at first... out of blue... had to be assigned to some urgent task with a lot of analysis of existing code and producing model documents/specs. Code is a part of a development framework... which made the task challenging and exciting.

Tools used were EA (Enterprise Architect by Sparxsystems) that comes with a really good (built-in) guide that also touches some UML reference. That guide really got me start my work fast, especially bcz i was never been happy learning anything related to model documents during last two years of learning.

So far... life is good... and its good.
