Early Hurdles

Life wouldn’t be life without complications and year 2007 is definitely not an exception.
My son haven’t returned yet to his so called “vacation” at his mother’s house and the school classes has already started.  The reason behind is that my son don’t want to go back here anymore.  In my opinion, his mother has already [...]

Developer’s Itch

The programmer in me is trying to surface again. It is so strong that I even find myself wanting to program while working on a project plan. In fact, I have been lately finding myself emerged in readings tackling Struts 2, Java Server Faces, iBatis, and Maven 2. Somehow, i want to [...]

Black Hawk Down

Now that my U.S. project is officially closed (good work team!), my late night and early morning will be work-infestation free! hurray!!! Maybe now I can reduce the eye bag layers that have accumulated because of this project. My other project, a local one, has also entered the final phase. I just [...]

Busy Week

I forgot to bring home my PDA charger so I turned my PDA off for the weekend so as not to loose any data. Consequently, it is also my mobile phone so I was “offline” most of the weekend.
When I arrived here at the office, I immediately charged it and turned it on. [...]

Incompetency — Not an Option ^^

My technical skills are definitely deteriorating. I still know the concepts but I can’t explain the concepts in complete, concrete detail i.e. using codes taken out of my head. A technical interview that a client did to me revealed that. Although it is not really expected from project managers to be overly [...]

Suggest a Title

My cubicle is looking more like that of a Project Manager’s now instead of that of a developer. The desktop PC have been moved away revealing all the files and papers shadowed by the monitor. I already got the company laptop that I was asking for. My two projects are now nearing [...]

Using the Monster Search Engine — Google

I have been studying Lucene lately. No, she is not a woman! In fact “she” is not even a person! Fickle minded … ^^. It is a Java-based search engine! Studying it reminded me of one of the most useful site in the Internet and how one can effectively use [...]

Rainy Days and Mondays

There is a storm coming into town and probably a hurricane due to the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to be delivered later on.  Isn’t that enough reason to cancel work?  Rainy days and Mondays always makes me sleepy. ^^

Better Late than Never

My eyes opened, tired and hazy.  Staring at a white ceiling, I thought to myself “I forgot to remove my contact lenses again last night, sigh”.  In the background was a familliar music ringing, somehow it seems not music at all.  I turned my head to find it.  It was my mobile phone.  A colleague back at [...]

Rant #1

Since most of the people I know (or at least those that blog) are either having gloomy days or ranting, might as well join them.
My superiors say that I am already a Project Manager.  Perhaps they are right.  Besides they do make me manage projects.  I guess that would make me a “Project Manager”!  But [...]
