Today's feeling.

Today is a busy day. (watched 'Happy Fee' yesterday and have a refreshing sleep)

Installed for 4 happy users. They are really appreciating for what we have done.
I am happy.

I also get scolded by a nasty user. She claims that the mobile mail did not work and I replied that I will take note and check. Since it is a trial, they are bound to be issues.She do not agreed and insisted that the product should work when we trial. (I wonder whether she got the defination of trial right? if so, that is a production system, not trial.)

I did a formal reply to her cc to my bosses. My direct boss later tell me that my email is too soft, and not to make it a habit. He explained that you will get 'eaten' if you are too soft.

I felt his backing and he has been earning my respect during the last few months. I appreciate that.

Also, a sister agency's manager called me and wish we can share info on this project with them. I am very glad that our work has caught attention even outside our organisation. I hope all will went well.

But the servers seems to be unstable when more and more trial users are added to the system. I will have to source for a replacement soon. Our 'partner' in the project has been supplying us servers older than the 1st server I setup in the organisation which is more than 6 years ago. that is just plain dumb.

I better have a good rest today. As there are more challenge tomorrow. Rest well, me!

Just drop a note....

Eden tells me to drop a note to let everyone knows I am ok.
Thanks.

I am ok. This week will be a busy but fruitful week, as more users will be joining my mobile mail project.

As for something to look forward? I have the Emil Chow concert on Saturday! I also wish to watch 'Happy Feet' to relax my tired mind.

As for books, I am reading the book on coming motion picture 'Eragon'. I am always facinated by stories on Dragon, Magic and adventure.

Thanks, Carrie, LDD and Ruth for not bored by the lack of entries.

Time flies...

Will my update rate.... I am expecting to have less readers....

If you read this entry, thank you.

November is pasting fast, the feeling come mostly from work.

The Mobile Mail project already on with 3 top management testing it, and expecting to have around 10 more to participate by latest next week.

With the IBM engineer resignation, and the not very-keen committment from the vendor, I am looking after the configuration myself now. I wanted to do a good job.

A very sad incident happen yesterday at work.
Admin department wanted to sent a email to seek approval of absorb the cost for data plans in the trial. I have drafted most of the mail especially the objective, the solution, architecture, choice of software, evulation criteria. Admin only adds in the cost. But because the approval is for money for their department, they wanted to sent which I am fine only requesting that they cc me in the mail. I do not know whether it is accident or intentional, Admin head actually sent the mail, with cc to some of the management without my name, and tell me that he 'forget'. Stealing limelight? may be, but I will never find out.
Just have to tell myself, 'it is ok, don't fight for personal glory, go for win-win success'.

Still have 2 more tasks outstanding.
1) Sharepoint trial's scope and requirement gathering
2) My role, strategy and plan for the next 2 years.

It is going to be interesting (will look at the positive side)

The mobile mail has been updating me with mail within a minute of arrival. I have to turn it off from 8pm to 8am, so that I have some quality time for myself away from work and has a peaceful sleep.

I really want to watch the anime 'EarthSea Legend' which I knew Hong Kong showed, but Singapore has totally no news about it. Sigh......

After taking some time to resolve the problem with the memory card, I manage to get the remaining photos at last.

Here is some photos from Macau. Their almond biscuit is so nice.

Back from Hong Kong

It is 6 days since I return from Hong Kong and were busy catching up with works, even now.
It has been a peaceful and relax stay in Hong Kong, which only focus on a day in Macau and a day in Lantau Island, and all other days are just casual walks from a place to another.

I am very happy to meet up my blogger friend, LDD and Carrie, during the stay, although a bit disappointed that Ruth is in Japan and Hyacinthus is in Las Vegas.

Also bought some Almond Cookies and Lau Po Pastry for my colleagues.

The following is some of the pictures took during the trip.

Its seems that I have some problem with the photos after Lantau Island, since using the camera to take video clips, will try to savage them in the next few days.
