Started reading soul land 4. Planning for stuff in the kids room. Busy with the library upgrade and migration. Sometimes speaking stuff when one is hungry or not in a mood results to a terrible conversation.

Soul Land 4: Final Douluo

The fourth book of the Soul Land Series...

I am reading Soul Land 4 in machine translation by lnmtl: douluo dalu 4 final douluo. It is more like a continutation of Soul Land 3, but the story revolved on the kid of Tang Wulin (Son of Tang San, Inheritor of the Golden Dragon Bloodline) and Gu Yuena (Soul Beast in Human Form, Silver Dragon King). Wulin and Yuena still appears in Soul Land 4 but with memory loss. This fourth part is really exciting, and I can easily comprehend the events that took place during the previous book.

Kids Room. Covid Face Shield.

Getting one of the rooms for the kids, bought face sheild and a couple of mask...

We are planning to clear out one of the rooms for the kids to use. We also wanted to reduce the risk of more people moving inside the house. We bought a face sheild for Joyce and Jace usage. A room basically cost an additional $700 per month on us, at first we feel the loss. Either way we just think that we are a big family now and as part of being a big family here in Singapore we need to rent more space for the kids. We can also think that in is an insurance cost or loss that we need to cover. It is just a part of the expenditures of having a family. Worst case we just need to find another person to cover it or find another flat in the future.

Tech Refresh Migration Spring Hibernate Jsf Webglogic

This the real pain in my task, migration a legacy system to a new one...

If you have a fixed immovable deadline the only way to finish it is through overtime. If the you're estimates are rejected and the schedule is forced upon you, then you ended up having no option but to compelete it. If you hated it then switch job, sometimes you just get this trouble task once is while.

Basically we need to upgrade from Weblogic 10g to 12c. Java 7 to 8. Oracle BPM, Oracle OSB and all sort of our interfaces. No value is added except for the extension of the support, some minor fixes that dont really affect us. This kind of things and activities, the cost and time is not worth the value.

Agitated

Just don't speak, more words doesn't solve anything...

Busy life often leads to bad arguments over simple stuffs. The more you say things, the more things gets complicated. A good relationship do really require when to shutup and just absorb the nags.

Knowing and understanding other and one's self is key for a successful relationship...

Understand others it the key.

NCS next hack we won a consolation prize of four, $80 grab vouchers. The next hack consolation prize is not bad given the effort spent. Switching my default java version in linux, ok I can call the bin/java directly but it is cool if I want it as a default. I don't have anything to write so I just place an overly used GREP and FIND command. Being a technical lead in the team is hard and cool.

Next Hack

Converting your basic thermal scanner...

It was a busy month. We lacked a cool idea. We made a simple prototype and a lousy presentation. Overall the grab voucher are worth the minimal effort.

Change Default Java in Linux

Blah blah a linux command...

check sudo update-alternatives --config java

Find all java process in Linux

Blah blah a linux command...

ps -fea|grep -i java

Project Technology Lead

I am the team's tech lead...

A few things to note why I am our team's tech lead. First technology lead just basically means I know alot of the project technical details. I am versed enough to address the project technical needs. I am competent enough to assign and resolve project technical issues. End of the day it is about delivery and efficency on available resources.

I wrote a few automation scripts / code to make life easier. I writethis blog poorly because It is just work flying of my mind. No revisions just post, nobody reads this anyway.

Crash Course: Value Proposition and Customer Segments #3

Learning a few basic overview on customer segments...

Crash course is really like a good pie. It is nice at the start, but it is actually messy if you don't know the eating technique.

Last Sunday is Mother's Day! Our microwave just broke off, luckly my wife found a way to repair it! Baking homemade cookies from bad to great brownies. Life and self-reflection. How to sell any product.

Mother's Day

A special day for someone special...

It is mother's day! Happy Mother's Day to My Lovely Wifie!

Microwave Broken

Broken microwave, sparkling...

Our microwave just broke down. The metalic sheet that disipate the waves burned and caused some sparks. Luckily my wife found an online fix for it, we purchased a compatible metalic board in Lazada. Hopefully the microwave should work again after it arrives in 3 weeks. It is COVID season so shipments are really delayed.

Baking cookies

A few failed attempt to create a diy cookie...

Just to try something new. I tried baking a simple homemade cookie or brownies.

Reflections

Lockdown is also a room for reflection...

Life is hard when there is problem hitting you. Overall my life is quite good, nice and happy. Experiencing the terrible times lets you appreciate your current state in life. Despite lockdown I can still work from home when others can't even find a job.

Another month of circuit breaker here in Singapore. After a couple of discussion with Ms. Yeo we decided to cancel Joyce' withdrawal in PCF. Philippines, the current administration forced ABS-CBN to shutdown its public signal broadcast. Pandora for mother's day!

Extended Circuit Breaker

Adjusting work from home life style and efficiency...

It is a good call to add one more month to the circuit breaker. There are hundreds of cases in worker dormitories each day. The impact of this closure is felt by restaurant, retail and tourist industries.

Cancelled Joyce PCF Withdrawal

We would pay more if we cancel Joyce Withdrawal...

It was a trap to withdraw Joyce out of PCF since we still need to pay 2 months of fees. We don't blame PCF, actually we liked the school. Everyone is trying to manage themselves during this pandemic.

ABS-CBN Shutdown

The franchise of a TV station is not renewed...

Hitting the largest tv station that is critical to the government sums up everything. Btw there only two outstanding stations in the Philippines, and one of them was just knocked out. ABS-CBN in the service for the Filipino people.

Poor Philippines for 30 years

Philippines is a screwed up country...

Philippines as a country has no hope in elevating its poverty line soon. In the next 30 years people will remain poor in the country. More people also means cheaper labor cost, which in turn an opportunity to hire low; but in the world of machinery this is also a problem of productivity.

Pandora for Mother's Day

I love my wife, I like pandora...

Gave my wife a pandora necklace and pendant this mother's day. This photo that I post is quite bad but the rose gold necklace and infinity necklace is very nice.

Preparing for the company covid hack project...

Brainstorming on how what to build for the COVID hack. Some ideas are trackers, temperature sensors and crowd control.

Crash Course: Questions No One Knows the Answers To

This world is still full of unknowns, and we should accept and embrace them...

It is normal for a person to fear the unknown and thus we try to make sense of it by creating shallow and vague hypotesis or adhoc claims. Ofthen we resort to unworldly powers as excuse to explain the unknowns, these things happend through out mankind. I remember my grade school teacher saying she dont like science because some of them deny God and as if they know everything. People of science don't claim they know everything on the contrary they thrive from the unknowns.

One way or another we want to improve, to do that is go through side hustles.
