More holes on earth!

Previously, I have blogged about biggest man-made hole on earth. To my surprised, I have discovered that there are actually more amazing holes around our poor earth.

The Big, the small and the old...

Recently I've received an email from my friend about pictures of paranormal stuff and I began to think about human mankind. Do these stuff exist? I have always being a fan of paranormal stories and I have watched a lot of documentary series such as sightings when I was young. Curiosity led me to google on the net and found out some discoveries of

Giants do exist?

Hobbits?

Oldest human aged 130 on earth?

Installing Husband 1.0

A funny computer jokes which I got it from a friend via email...

A desperate woman writes to the Technical support Guy,


Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0, MONEY 3.0 and CRICKET 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no lon ger runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate Woman

Tech Support Reply,


DEAR DESPERATE Madam,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.htmland try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband1.0should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7..0 or Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-In-Law 1.0 under any circumstances (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.
We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Hot Looks 7.7.

Good Luck Madam!

Creepy Interactive Game

An interactive horror game, hotel 626, which uses just only the mouse to play. Its unique system let you capture your face using your web cam(if any) and post it as a visitor in the hotel which you will see in the near end of the chapter.

Total play time for this whole game is around 15-30min.

How horror is this game? You need to try and find out. Its more like an exorcist movie to me.
To add on the ambience and excitement, switch off your lights and use a headphone.

Here are some couple of screenshot if you are curious how scary it is.




Additional Notes:
You can only play the game on a certain time of the day as stated on the website. To trick the website, you need to adjust your system clock.
hint: To complete this game you need to play it with speaker on, without it, its quite impossible to complete it for some certain chapters.

Thoughts as an IT employee...

Last few weeks I didn't get any chance of putting up new articles as I was too busy with my company stuff. For the past few days, things were pretty much harsh as there were many things going around and changing. I came to realise that I am actually more interested in working as a Software Developer rather than System Engineer.

Here are some of my gathering thoughts and personal opinions working as non-outsourced employee,

System Engineer maybe fun for the start (designing and implementation stage) but things started to get gradually the same or some minor changes for every company's policies. There are still some challenging part when it comes to $$$. The hardware, software (especially licenses) the company is going to pay which account to some restriction and control you cannot implement and have to workaround on it. When everything is up and running you will be stuck in maintaining and supporting stage. If you are not that kinda wanna just spending time doing administrations and waiting for new changes to come, then that is a job for you but not for me.

For Software development, there are tons of things to explore and different ways of expressing your codes. You just need your main development tools and fire up the program and start working. I always believe in this sentence,

Users should control the software how they want it to be and NOT software should control the user how it want they to be.

I have encountered this many times before usually its more to the vendors not able to get the exact requirements from the users. Ya, especially when it comes to after-sales support, they will just put you into low piorities and ditched you aside. To make it more worst is that, you paid for maintainance fees and it take days to get an email reply and give you instructions to work on it. If the problem is unable to solve it will take another days to get it done or you might not even get a reply from them. Even if you call up the support, if he/she cannot provide it, they will tell you they will look into it and call you back later. (which means no reply from them)
