Gmail

Gmail hasn't been that reliable lately. I've been getting a lot of "Oops! The system was not able to perform that operation" messages. Maybe they're having problems integrating their Calendar program in the background.

Gmail uses AJAX (Asynchonous Javascript and XML). It's a technology that I'm starting to pick up now. So expect to see some new things in the future.

It's Judgement day for RIM tomorrow. As you may recall, I worked for RIM a couple of years ago. I had a great time there and I was strongly considering working there fultime except that it had one fatal flaw. It was in Waterloo. So instead I moved to Seattle. Anyways, I really can't see RIM going down. It's a technology that's tattooed to our thumbs. It would be like Apple suing Windows for all of the things Microsoft stole from MacOS. There would still be a Windows OS the next day...with or without a "workaround". My prediction is that the injuntion will be lifted and NTP will file for an appeal and then a "terrorist" will destroy NTPs records which will ultimately end the dispute (Hopefully my site doesn't get audited from Homeland Security for that one).

SO BORED..I COULD DIE

Three Ugly Filipinos

By: Anonymous


There were these 3 Filipino girls, and they were the ugliest Filipino girls ever! They finally got so tired of being ugly that they decide to go to the doctor's for help. The doctor looks at them and says, "Well, this is a tough one, but this is what you have to do; jump into a river and say the name of someone you think is beautiful and you will look exactly like that person."

So the first one goes and says "Eva Longoria" and when she gets out of the water she looked just like Eva Longoria.

Then the second one went and she said "Jessica Alba" and became Jessia Alba.

Then came the third one... When she jumped into the river (being so terrified of swimming) she slipped and said "AY TA-E!" (means shit)

Yo Ray! The fake user is using my name again. I only ask you once before, and that was it. The post below me is a faker. Maybe he's a volleyball member. ????

As a tribute, I resurrected the "Famous Friends" gallery.

ps. I thought Tin was a girl...i.e. Christine or something. I guess with the way people post on this site, I'm not sure what the demographic is.

In the news

A lot of friends and family ask me what I do actually. I always say, "Software Engineer", which is not granlar enough for most. It's tricky because most of the stuff I do is secret and I'm paranoid about disclosing informatioin that could get me trouble.

Information about projects I'm working on at Amazon are starting to hit the net. The stuff we're doing this year is the reason why I wouldn't want to be with any other company. That's all I'm legally allowed to say. Here are a few links about some of the geeky things I'm doing at Amazon.

I read Franz Joseph's Profile and also his Inspirational piece talking about his soulmate (gf). If they break up, would he go nuts?

Piece of advice Bro, don't give100% at least 50% is more like it. That comes with Caring, Love, and Understanding.

Don't get mad, It's non of my business.

Bible readings

This year, I started doing daily bible readings. I googled and subscribed to the first one I saw. Apparently if you keep up with the daily readings, you can read the entire bible in a year. That averages out to about 3 chapters a day. The problem isn't the length of the readings, the problem is that it's the King James version. It's like reading shakespeare all over again. In any case, it's a good idea to read the bible everyday. We often lose touch with our religion between Sundays ... or Christmases in some cases. Here's the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bible-Reading/

Chatting

I forward all of my mail to my gmail account. The main reason why I do that is because you can create different accounts from which you can send. For example, I receive all my raym mail in my gmail account, but I send email as raym. The interface is a lot faster than others...especially hotmail. My hotmail account is my spam account. I just use it when I register for sites....Now google has chatting right in the email interface. I wouldn't mind giving up msn messenger if my friends did. Check it out:

BTW, I think I brought a volleyball video back from Toronto. I'll have to check.

Glen

Glen said i don't update this site enough. So now I will update this journal at least once a day.

You know working at an office all day is actually good for your health and fitness. Yeah that's right...right for me at least. I spend all day in front of a damn computer writing algorithms and solving problems. So when I get home, I just want to run around. Luckily, my apartment has a fitness center that I can waste my energy on. There's also a kickboxing place beside my apartment so if I choose, I can get my butt whipped after work.

superbowl

It's unfortunate that Seattle lost in the superbowl. They were outplaying the Steelers the entire game, but championships are usually about a few big plays and the Steelers made all of them. Congrats to them.

I went to my friend Paul's housewarming party yesterday. He is one of the first of my friends to throw down the money and buy some property. He said he was inspired from a gospel reading from Church. It was the one about investment. The master gives three servants equal shares of money. Two of them invest and make money while the other one burries the money until the master returns. The master praises the two investors, but rebukes the other. So apparently Paul doesn't like getting rebuked.

---

So how are my projects going?

OUCH: I've gotten a decent response from schools across Washington. I'm thinking of making it into a larger event. Perhaps I'll bring in a hip hop artist to headline the event. I'm still in the planning stages since my real job has got me using my brain a little bit more lately. I'm still on schedule though.

HOMELESS Foundation: The plans for this might be pushed into the Spring. The reason for this is that I found another mentoring opportunity with the Technology Access Foundation (TAF). As you might recall, I wanted to be a mentor, but the previous opportunity (Community for Youth) didn't sit well with my schedule. This one does and it also deals with my profession. The main difference between TAF and Community for Youth is that TAF's students are exceptional, while Community for Youth's students go to underpriviledged schools. I sorta feel bad not mentoring for the more needy, but I think TAF will provide a good first shot at volunteering and mentoring.
