First Post in March

Wow, procrastination is really a dangerous disease. I just wanted to defer writing a post for about a week, and this is what finally happen, a three-weeks delay! Even though I have reason for this holdup, I still feel terrible because I've promised to myself to write post at least one per week. Well, I'll stop grumbling then, and start writing.

I was very busy in the last three weeks, so much to do, so little time available. Besides assigned as a co-lecturer in PABI course, I have to supervise my students in their Second Year Project (SYP) and Final Project (FP) activity. SYP is for second year students and FP is for thir year students.

For SYP, I was assigned three groups, and the tools used are mainly PHP+AJAX+MySQL, and their topics are: Scholarship Information System, Full-featured Photo Gallery, and Online Testing System for Senior Highschool. I hope that groups under my supervision can accomplish all the tasks that I've given to them and they can produce a high quality and ready-to-use application, not just do the project for merely a grade.

For FP, I was assigned two groups. FP is different with SYP in case that FP will give a chance for the students to conduct a small research in Information Technology area. The topics for my FP groups are Struts and Spring MVC Comparison and Crossword Puzzle Generator. I hope that the groups can enjoy the process and learn a notion of research.

Besides academics business, I've several other businesses that were assigned to me, and not to mention other activity regarding to my future.

I hope that I can perform much better this semester.

Who Is a Failure?

Both Google and Yahoo concur in the same result :D (the first result on Google, and second result on Yahoo).

Wedding Daze

Been busy lately, work's overloaded, demand was so high, so I just have to stop writing for a while.

To gain new spirit I entertain my self with a movie titled "Wedding Daze". Its genre is Romantic-Humorous-Drama. It's a story about a guy, who've just lost his fiancee-to-be in the day of the proposal. After that, the guy felt terrible and always thinking about his late girlfriend. Until one day, when he and his friend took a breakfast at a restaurant, his friend asked him to stop thinking about his late girlfriend, open his eyes, and find a new girl. Then the story goes, he saw the waitress in the restaurant and he suddenly asked the waitress to marry him, and the girl said "yes". And that's where the story begin!

This movie is easy to follow, full of humors, and lots of lessons about love. One of my favorite quote is

"And I think love can be instantaneous and insane"

Well, who knows when love will come.

Valentine

A very deep meaning of Valentine, from the perspective of Christian:

For God so loVed the world,
That He gAve
His onLy
BegottEn
SoN
That whoever
Believes In Him
Should Not perish,
But have Everlasting life.

Taken from here.

Too Much Innovation

Based on WordWeb dictionary, innovation means 'The act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new'. The key point is "the first time" or "something new". The question is, is innovation a good thing or not? In my point of view, innovation is good, very good indeed. But only after it fulfilled several requirements:

• The previous 'thing' is considered not optimal (this must also come after exhaustive analysis)


• Has undergone a very thorough observation


• Is planned very carefully


• There's enough time to prepare everything before implementing it


• There's enough resources to conduct it

Impelling such an innovation before fulfilling the above requirements will result an unexpected result. It could be positive, but could be negative (but based on experience, the negative impact is the most common result). Not to mention, if there are lots of innovations at the same time.

Eat that rich

Aerosmith's songs are always strong in lyrics, like one of their song Eat the Rich. But why I suddenly remember about this quote? Hahahaha.
