New baby

 The vs just need a few seconds to load… The sql also. Start up and shutdown also. I launched them all at the same time.. How much time have I been wasting…. it is like 5 to 10 times faster! I felt like my laptop wasn’t cheap while considering the switch that I got without taking 150 dollars discount. 2399… well, i actually can choose the space between 16GB / 32GB but IF i choose 32GB will only have 512GB SSD. 16GB I got 1TB storage. It was not partitioned so I have c drive only…. Was a bit worried but someone my code worked without using D drive so I am still fine otherwise I am wasting the money for work only. Imagine 16GB is this fast, I wonder if I got the 32GB, I will be flying off to space already.


The person say don’t overkill. Nope. If I am going to have multiple applications, I rather overkill. I never know when I will want it to develop something else without wasting my time on every single click and key typed. If you have such laptop to begin with, it is like I go from hell to heaven. Although my heart is aching cos I am spending my salary to work. Should not have bought the webcam because in the end coding for a webcam is different from in built windows cam. Bought a lot just to make up to what my laptop is lacking. Well, I could have save those money and buy one laptop earlier on. If you know what really wasting time means. Lets hope it’s lasting though. My Acer lasted 5 years (2.1k). My HP touchscreen (2.7k) with me now for 3 years and Macbook (3.2k) about 2 years. Lenovo (2.4k). Acer was pretty good for the price. The only thing bad is that it is also slow at startup but resting in peace for now. I am going downhill…


Good thing about the deal is that with additional 1 dollar I got antivirus free for 3 years. The laptop itself is 3 years warranty. Considering that I am happy with my purchase.


The 8k job, I didn’t apply for it, now a bit regretting to turn it down. I could have bought about 4 of this laptop! I might as well start a whole new network at home. I am still learning network so another comp won’t be too bad. The thing is this laptop is for work so I won’t use it for other things but coding. It is Windows Home so I still need to care about security. If it is this fast, I think it is possible for me to do new things ;) 


Nothing to be more than happy  but I still need to use my laptop just to save data and some other app that this laptop cannot. New application seemed fine. Old ones I worry it will barely work. No time to migrate that so I just migrate the one handling latest framework.

It is super fast man. I love that I am overkilling. The torture that I had every single day for almost one year with this laptop is immensely tough to get by. I fell in love just because my laptop is bad :( Hope my two other laptops won’t get jealous. We are one big family.

Cuts

 I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct.  I also think ...

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.
