Hi there,
It’s been busy. I couldn’t even made it to OOW this year (even though I was given the approval to attend). I looked at the various draft post that I have had (never did get a chance to finish) over the last 12 months, it has been horrendous. Anyhow, just wanted to put in a couple of points re: $700b bailout asked by the Bush Administration. Wow! $700b! That’s more than the GDP (
I read in my newspaper that Randy Pausch has passed away yesterday from pancreatic cancer which he has been battling for many months. He was a Computer Science professor at Carnegie Mellon University and in Sept 2007, he gave a “final lecture” to over 400 students at the University.
A “Final Lecture” is an academic traditional which say that if you know that you have a few months to live (
Wow! Time flies. It’s been six months since I last posted. I had no intention of leaving the blogging world that long but the days, weeks and months sure went by fast. We are now heading into the later part of the year and OOW is only less than 3 months away with its early bird dateline of July 18th.
It has been a very busy six months for me with numerous challenges in the new position. Our
It’s Day 3 of our Order Management implementation (Oracle E-Business Suite) weekend. The team started on Friday and we expect to have the business folks in this afternoon to do validation and verification. There is a whole bunch of IT, business and of course, our implementation partner working really, really hard to ensure that the implementation goes well. It is complicated by the fact that
So, the recent Blog Tag should be almost over by now and the debate over whether one should or should not participate is over. It’s interesting to see how a simple thing like this can become such a sticky point for a number of folks. Jake K obviously didn’t expect such a reaction to starting the blog tag.
For me, it’s an exercise in team building. I find that folks tend to work and get along
Apparently the blog tagging thing is still going strong. Doug Burns tagged me early this week. Thanks Doug, now I got two problems: a) figure out 8 things that people don’t generally know about me and b) figure 8 other bloggers to tag. You can see Howard Rogers’ comments to this blog tagging at the above mentioned Doug Burns’ blog entry. I don’t agree with Howard’s comments but he has every
I hoped that 2007 has been good to you all both in your professional and personal lives. 2007 has been eventful and lots of stuff happening. We are now almost just 2 years away from the 2010 Olympics (Feb 2010) and construction of the various venues and transportation systems are chugging along full steam. In my own suburb, Richmond, we have the Canada Line (a light rail system linking the
With the recent “can of worms” that Jake blogged about on his Blog, I thought that Mary Ann Davidson kind of hit it on the nail when she blogged about “Disclosure”.
I’ve blogged about this previously but thought that it is worth mentioning again.
Today is Blog Action Day where each blogger is to blog about the environment related to their topic/theme.
I am in IT so what can I blog about which would be relevant. Well, I recently attended Gartner Symposium ITxpo where “Green IT” is a key theme for the Symposium and Gartner expects this to be an ongoing theme for the IT industry for the next 3 to 5 years.
Michael Dell as one of the
Sorry about the lack of updates but been busy with the Gartner Symposium. Last evening (Tuesday), it was the “Attendee Appreciation Event” which was held at Disney’s Animal Kingdom where the park was partially opened for the attendees to partake. Obviously the event was “pitiful” compared to Oracle OpenWorld where last year, Oracle had Elton John as the headliner and Billy Joel for this year’s
