Back in Business

Filed under: Day Walker — Pipboy at 3:54 pm on Thursday, October 12, 2006

After two long weeks without a phone line at home, I am now back in business!

Work

HP - went in for a third interview today. I don’t know what will happen next, but I hope it turns out well. After hearing about the working perks from Punzki, I was more than eager and excited to learn and get it on with whatever task they might have in store for me.

Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines - I got my Notice to Proceed yesterday for a portal that I was proposing for their organization. This is a very exciting project - involving collaboration with top engineering heads all over the country, integration of countless information sources and deployment of online services that I haven’t done before. Yahoo!!!!

Chemical Inventory System - progress is proceeding as expected. The System Development Life Cycle taught in college works wonderful magic for our deadlines and deliverables! I recommend it as a must-know to anyone wanting to do System Development.

TF - after six weeks of preparing the prerequisite documents for incorporation, it seems that the last few articles will be completed by early next week. Hopefully, we’ll get to formally incorporate by the end of next week and start rolling out our services by the end of the year.

Life

D70 - my father gave me his digital camera. Something to allow me to express my creative side. Harigato!

Mueslix - my mother came back from Hong Kong to check up on us a week or two ago. She introduced me to Mueslix and flavored oats - alternatives to my Oatmeal+Milo diet. Harigato!

Nihongo - I’m currently learning Japanese through self-study and occassional conversations with a friend of mine. I bought several books on the language earlier this year and they’re proving to be very helpful. By learning how to speak, read and write Japanese, I hope to increase my productivity by ten-fold. No longer will I have to read subtitles while programming late at night. :D

Dungeon Siege 2 - In between bouts of anime marathons, I kept myself busy with this hack-and-slash role-playing game. A breed between Diablo’s hack and slash and NeverWinter Night’s quest system, this game has succeeded in killing my time where other recent games have failed.

Gym - After getting sidelined for two weeks because of improper stretching, I am now back at Moro, pumping iron and burning excess baggage.

Now, without much further ado, I still have a date with BusinessWeek, Fortune, Slashdot and CNN.
