Google Reader

Google just release another Beta application, Google Reader. It is actually a web-based RSS reader, but by far seems to be the slickest, at least for now. So check it out.

Upcoming Yahoo! Mail

A totally revamped Yahoo! Mail is now in Beta. From what I read from some blogs and review here and here, the new Yahoo! Mail is very impressive. Its been redesigned to look and feel more like your desktop mail program than a webmail. From some of the pictures I've seen, it really made GMail looks antique. Ironically, Cedric recently blog about moving from Outlook to GMail. Maybe he should have waited for the new Yahoo! Mail to move out of Beta before moving.

The Daily WTF

Just stumble upon this site. Its a site where you can submit shit codes that you encounter for the world to see and comment on in a forum. One particular thread, A False Detector; shows how smart stupid some people can be. There are lots of wacky stuff that people do. A site that must not be miss!

Feeling Lost?

Yesterday a friend IM me and said "have u ever had the feeling that one day u wake up and suddenly u realize u're tired of doing things that u do everyday?".

Actually, I am more than tired, I don't know what I've been doing since end of 2002. Work sucks! What can I do? Joel Spolsky in his Hitting the High Notes article have answered the question.

"Sadly, this doesn't really apply in non-product software development. Internal, in-house software is rarely important enough to justify hiring rock stars. Nobody hires Dolly Parton to sing at weddings. That's why the most satisfying careers, if you're a software developer, are at actual software companies, not doing IT for some bank."

That means I need to look for a company that does product development. Sadly, most of the IT companies here doesn't do product development. The big MNCs are just body shop. Those pathetic MSC status companies are trying to compete with the MNC by becoming even cheaper body shop.

Sigh. I am still lost. The search goes on...
