Facebook

doiwl September 23rd, 2008

Exploring Facebook……

I was reluctant to try out facebook at first, hate to restart all those process again (register, adding, confirm friends, duh…)

But the Maxis advertisement (featuring mobile Facebook), and my senior colleague “persuasion” had changed my mind. Hehe, free time at work mah~

FB surprises me with lots of WOW factors and highly innovative features.

  • Fine grained access control (able to control the access level for each information)
  • Tag other people for every photos, videos, postings
  • Categorizing your friends into separate lists. (Friendster listing of friends is totally a mess.)
  • People you may know…. (How the algorithm works? by using the minimum level of CPU…..)
  • Able to import activity from other sites, and also RSS feeds.
  • News feeds and status updates. Some kind of micro-blogging.
  • Developer (crucial… programmers are improving Facebook free of charge)
  • Advertising (Very advanced advertising mechanism, targeting the ads to the relevant audience by using the profile details!)

Drawbacks:

  • Rather complicated.
  • Annoying notifications from the application / games. More than 100 application requests pending in my account.
  • Messy wall (profile page), too personalized… More like a game site rather than showing the personal profile.

工作@KL

doiwl August 5th, 2008

在KL实习。两个月就酱过去了。
有些工作很有意思,很有挑战性。
有时deadline要到的时候,会忙得不可开交。
当然也有偷懒的时候,“妥善运用着/fully utilize/fully maximize”公司的10Mbps internet bandwidth,
就像老板怎样fully utilize它的员工一般。
有时做同一类型的工作,久了也会郁闷。
去签字领allowance支票的时候是最开心的,无奈的是半个月就几乎花光了。

现在做的工作没有关系到programming,符合我想暂时逃离programming梦魇的目的。

研究着种种ICT产业和市场的趋势。
信手拈来可以告诉你global / Malaysia key market players, market trends,
industry challenge, market drivers, market restraints bla bla bla。
也知道很多industry insights,像个别MSC公司到底做的怎样?

MMU是不是money-making university?
以前会这么觉得啦,现在倒觉得MMU还不过分。收入高,支出也高,profit margin合理。
(知道归知道,但是起价的时候,照样吵过。)
MMU管理方面也不错啦,能够做到financially independent。

有些私立大学的profit margin是无敌的。因为喜欢被看菜头的大有人在。
也有最阔气、最慷慨、最超凡脱俗、最强的典范——Petronas!
每年砸重金在UTP不计回报,根本就是在经营慈善事业。
(没办法,它有金矿)

之前盛传TM计划卖掉MMU。
是好是坏?
其实卖了MMU筹集资金来发展high-speed broadband project对整个国家更重要。
但是重点是——在我毕业后才卖……因为卖给其他公司来牟利的话,学费包涨。

写了这么多,一句话总结:
MSC计划算是成功的,但也是时候延伸出cyberjaya沙漠、拓展到中马以外的地方了。

还有,实习了两个月,应验了我的至理名言:GOOGLE is your friend!

REDdist 红楼阁

doiwl July 30th, 2008

其实有很多东西想写下来,不过因为一个“懒”字所以就不想写了。

不难发现到旁边红楼阁的小广告吧。REDdist红楼阁是我和另外四个朋友从去年八月开始构思的计划,今年6月16日开跑。

要怎样归类这个成品?

  • 它像新闻网站,但有让读者交流的空间。
  • 它像blog,但构思里面的范畴要比blog广。
  • 它像论坛,不过这里的新闻不是人人都能发布的,需要投稿。(保持一定的素质)
  • 有意义的评论可以得到积分奖赏,换奖品。(有赞助商的前提下)
  • 阁士可以将自己的部落格整合进来,形成一个community。 

Community Based Localized News Website with Rewards? 呵!

基本上都不是非常新颖的点子,只是整合现有的东西,再做一些market segmentation(谙华语、MMU Melaka学生或马六甲青少年)。市场细分的另一面就是局限(地域和语言上的),以后要突破这些局限。

比较喜欢做high-level overview的东西,很多low-level detail的东西(e.g. coding)目前对我而言很烦。有时会觉得“Code到用时方恨少”,可能以后要找CMS Web Programming的高手,或者outsource。

现在赚着钱吗?没有,还在砸钱的阶段。所以要在这里打打广告。

找我没错的啦。

Petrol & Electricity Price Hike Aftermath — PMO Website Hacked

doiwl June 5th, 2008

This was what happened, a cross-site scripting attack (XSS) right after the price of petrol and electricity increased. Lolx.

Hehe, and yes, the website of Prime Minister Office is down right now. (Under maintenance it says.)

For sure, this is unethical.
