Reflection of Personal Goal

I set 3 goals early this month. Link to post: http://www.jacqis.net/2010/02/06/personal-goal-february-2010/. And here’s how well I think I have done and how I could improve.
1. To write once every 2 days
By 28 Feb, I had written 15 posts, excluding this. Using math, the number is about right and I did met my goal. Except when [...]

A Look at Creative Resumes

Read this few days ago, from onextrapixel – Give Your Resume a Creative Boost
Instead of presenting your skills and work experiences in the usual PDF or Word Doc, create a graphical, well-designed resume. Onextrapixel encourages Creative wannabes to do so.
I like clean, lots-of-white-spaces design so the heavy-graphics resumes don’t appeal to me. Those are rather [...]

How my job brought me to blogging

2 year ago, I was fresh out of university (a great one btw). Then, my only real-world experiences were of 2 years of web programming and corporate design skills, internships of IT-training and IT-testing. I was eager to use my Bachelor of Science in Information Systems Management to get a IT, non-specialised job.
And I did [...]

What’s your best productivity tool?

Mine would be my mobile phone. I am holding a Palm Treo Windows Mobile 6.1. And nope, I am not saying that because I use Outlook, Calendar, etc.
To think I disliked it heaps when I first got it. I was so used to the predictive text keypad in my Nokia phone; I could sms with [...]

Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning is a process where the Chinese believe the old should be discarded so as to make way for new things.
So since the start of 2010, I have been busy trying to arrange my things neatly in my drawers, bookshelf and [...]

Somewhere familiar

Yesterday as I walking past my campus along city hall, I saw this banner and started just a little. My university is officially 10 years old. Wow! It was 7 years ago when I joined as the pioneer batch of Information Systems Management student.
I could still remember the apprehension and excitement..will I be able to [...]

Self-Motivation

Had a chat with HPJeannie regarding blogging, writing and our domain. I was trying my best to convince her that she should start blogging, otherwise her domain is just sitting idle.
But the underlying reason was because I needed someone/something to motivate me to write daily. I was geared up last week, staying up after [...]

Design: A Decade in Search By Razorfish

View more presentations from Razorfish.

Found this beautifully designed presentation done by Razorfish at slideshare. The slides may not be readable as I found out so I went straight to the site where there’s a flash version. Over there, you can use your mouse to click and pan or use the arrow keys.
The two displays have [...]

He’s away

Here’s a picture of us at Phuket almost a year ago. He was test-driving the motorbike but as he had no formal training, he was wobbly and I was too wimpy to ride it. So we posed for a photo and proceed to rent a car.

He has been away at India for a week and [...]
