More machine than man

It's been a year plus since the 2nd incident. Still single and still alone. Love seems frozen in time. It thaw a teeny bit than was frozen again. Anyway, it does not matter. I have torn down facebook. I will tear down this blog as well? No matter about what I feel. Like I hope.. more machine than man.

System rebooting...

This is the 2nd incident slogan... System i find is rebooted with the 26jun2009 incident when ponytail style was gone. Thought about it..

Designated 1 July... system hibernate... expect it to be a while.. possibly 3-6 months..this are the key months as in previous scenarios.. high chances of failure occurring in this time frame.

If i am still as I am next year..2010... System is secure in the new design... hahaha...

IBM Let's build a smarter planet...

It was finally after Jan 2009 that I finally revealed that I am part of the IBM company... =) its almost a year and I am still happy. One of the key things/perks is that it's emphasis on quality and performance. Not archaic attendance/punctuality based on appearances. Unlike before, I do not need to be sitting at my desk at 830 nor attend every meeting if there is work to be done. I come into office at about 10am, pack my day with work and leave at 6-7pm. I am happy worker :)

Waking up at 9am on office work day, monday to friday is like dream come true. I dun feel as if I am working. So this is just one of the cool perks at IBM. There are more perks so if nothing pushes me out, neither Credit Suisse nor Citi can attract me to their folds... Some things $$ can't buy --> Waking up at 9am everyday to go to work.

Let's build a smarter planet...

IBM theme for this 2009 is "A Smarter Planet"... and more relevant would be the smart retail..

For me, i would like to call "Let's build a smarter planet..." cos I feel that we all have to do things better,faster and easier.. =)

Guess its say something bout me that I do like catchy interesting phrases, and I do have some interest in IBM's slogans..should b coming up with some more that i found ;)

To Omnia or not to omnia...

Decision has been made on this one. Not to omnia (aka samsung i900)

The main problem is the text messaging. Zero tactile response for those who can sms blind, aka without looking at the keypad.

For those who are looking while sms, the screen size is small. I have the previous message and my current msg, and with the keys to press..all on the same screen. It makes the experience terrible. Not worth it.

One feedback is that not to use Omnia. Also what's the alternative? HTC Touch was a feedback i got. Interestingly, i know my DPM using an omnia but no complaint there.

I did my test and did not see major issues.Sadly,my other half's test fail to detect problems and got the phone. It was so bad, omnia was sold to another person who dun sms much. All within the week of getting the phone.

Be warn: Millenia Institute - What you think is not what you get

One major event of note is my sister school results and the efforts needed for her to be back into the school. It is a watershed year and its like a cheat code to prevent death. So this year 2009 will be the year that should not be a problem for her. And next year she will graduate =)

I know the blog is so vague but I just wanna keep to the non-disclosure agreement =p

4 Money management tools

Had a conversation with a co-worker and the topic of money management came up. Apparently, he is using a pro version of ynab (you need a budget) software.

For those who are tight on cash or jus prefer simple freeware, there are some other alternatives ( in no particular order) :

• money manger
• gnu cash
• quicken online (free version)
