Excellent Appraisal... Think again..

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:25:23 GMT

I received this from a fellow teammate. I thought this was hilarious and so cleverly crafted. Enjoy and have fun.
I do not know who really wrote this, but kudos to you for being able to craft such special messages... Awesome and fun.

Teaches me to read between the lines.. ;-)

The HR manager received the following appraisal report one day:

   1 Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
   2 hard at work at his desk. He works independently, without
   3 wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
   4 thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and always
   5 finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended
   6 measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
   7 breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
   8 vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
   9 knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
   10 classed as an asset employee, the type which cannot be
   11 dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
   12 promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
   13 executed as soon as possible.
Later that day, the same HR manager received the following addendum:

Addendum:

That idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.
Thank you and Have a Nice Day

Community Clips (Internal tool now released to public)

Mon, 05 May 2008 02:29:20 GMT

Are you into screen casts?? Or perhaps i should say, making a video out of your screen activities? I used to be using Camtasia, and i still am. However if you want a free alternative, check out Community Clips. A tool released by the Office Lab team.

It used to be a Microsoft Internal Tool. After so much feedback and improvements to the product, we felt this good thing should be shared with everyone... And yes, it was released.

Grab it here.

You can use to create videos effortlessly. Try it.

Here's a sample of the output.

Moved my cubicle... but look at this mess!!

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:05:33 GMT

At the beginning of this week, part of my team was affected by and internal office move.
Only through this move, did i realize i have so many things.. it took me an entire day. Wasted my entire day settling my stuff.

One of my team mates, Yizhe, is on holidays and the office managers says we must move.

Russell helped and guess what... Look at this mess at Yizhe's new table... He's going to have a hard time cleaning up when he's back from vacation.. :-)

Need a Buddy to spice up your MSN Conversations??

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 06:17:43 GMT

I chanced upon this in my opposite cubicle. Cute.

Introducing i-Buddy. It will spice up your conversations in a visible way. Hasn't got much chance to dig deep into it, but was able to play with it on the surface. The only sad thing i encountered is that it doesn't work with 64bit Vista. :-(

It detects the mode of the conversation in MSN and shows it up.

Check out these images;

Check out the official website for more info. http://www.i-buddy.com/

Wish i could have one. Its time to return it to the person opposite me.

SG Windows Group has reached the 1000 milestone

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 05:31:30 GMT

Singapore Windows IT Pro User Group has reached the 1000 mark today.

I am so proud of it, despite us being a closed group and we never do any membership drives.
You all will know, that the group grew by word of mouth, never by adverts or any membership drives. ;-)

Took this shot right in the middle of the night..

Thanks for making this group worthwhile to maintain. And thanks to the volunteer group behind this. Thank you.

Facebook Song

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 07:38:54 GMT

Hey, you guys on facebook?

Someone sent me this video. A song actually, very nice... You should see it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b-fJxzpK7s

Actually, i've been quite put off by facebook.
I think the next level of problems will surface from Facebook.

Social Engineering security problems. So if you're using Facebook, don't put too much real information in there. And if you receive information, don't trust them too much too.

Oh, on a side note, all those crazy Vampire applications just pisses me off.

Having said all that, its still a good social networking site, just a added pinch of salt.

TechEd Party Pictures...

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 03:36:09 GMT

Well, i might be taking a while to post some pictures and stories here, mainly because i did not bring my own camera to the events. Relied on others to pass me their pictures.

On the 12th Sept, Speakers, MVPs and MSFTies were invited to a night party at Bossa Nova in KL. No idea where it is. The crew did a fantastic job of getting us from where we were to the Bossa Nova and back. We did not have to worry about how to get there and how to get back.

All of us certainly enjoyed this dinner party with a couple of us getting quite a bit of alcohol down. There is a very cool ice sculpture of a robot bearing the Microsoft logo. The girls down Barcardi, Vodka and Tequila down an opening in the top of the robot and if comes out from the front. Its just some crazy fun. We work hard, we play hard.

I met many good guys too. Like Tyson, Tim Huckably, Ed Quek, Sarbjit, Sukhdev, Yu Tsing, Loke Uei, Jeff Low and so many... i can't remember all their names coz mainly Sarbjit got me downed with quite a bit of alcohol.

There was also a ping pong game where the balls where labelled, "Drink" or "Prize". Naturally, i'm going for prize. There was a Tamagochi with WIFI and a Mini Remote Control car. I wanted the control car for my daughter to play. Really cute. After 5 tries, i got a prize. Of course, i have to drink like 5 times. And with the deadly mix Sarbjit got me, i was already tipsy and was over my feet. Sarbjit had to send me back to my room. Gosh.. The last time i was this drunk was during my wedding dinner. Gees... this guys are crazy when they play.. Needless to say, i downed alcohol quite a bit on others too. haha...

Anyway, some pictures for fun. ;-)

The Band playing live at Bossa Nova. They're good!! I really mean it.

That's me trying to cool off with the ice statue.

That's Loke Uei and his good friend..

Anyway, i'm looking towards next year's TechEd. BTW, all TechEd delegates were invited to Zouk the night before. There is a pretty attendee, don't know who she is, just remember she was wearing a very short blue dress and she's called Mabel. Somehow, she was the center of attraction when the games commenced.. ;-)
