Women

 



When I first use Shopee long long time ago, do you know they didn’t split by category? Also, if you search something, it must be the exact wording else it wouldn’t match. Now, still there is problem sometimes but they actually made a very big progress during these two years. However the categories still not so right. hehe. That’s what I found. 

Remember a time when I brought books to their competition instead of using google two to three years back. Without any python background too. They were doing I guess to find someone who can solve their categories problem. Only 1-2 hrs given for each session to come up with the solution. I only managed to make the python and excel sheet work but never managed to solve though.  eh. 2 hrs 1st prize is a few thousands dollar. There were two different problems but I forgotten about the other one. It is a good experience though. Although not many people solved it within that few hours, but some were pretty close. Out of a hundred people split into groups, only a few groups managed to do it. My team I went with a person who I didn’t know until the day of the competition. The other one MIA. We just grouped ourselves out of facebook 🙄 all no background with python. The other member was late also. She was an electrical engineer and 1 year older than me. I was a mechanical engineer. None of us used python at all. I did read the book on how to use python and installed it before the competition and how to operate. Our friend, didn’t have python installed. I sweat. To me, she seemed to want to enjoy the free gift though. She was very enlightened with that. Although, I brought the same mind to see how things go as a programmer but at least I should try too apart from sight seeing. I managed to at least manipulate the Excel sheet. All the time were used to make it work before we can process the data. I managed to get 1% of the data correct though. Surprisingly. I think one thing software engineer needs to know why it works and why it wouldn’t. We both just quit our jobs too. That’s why got the time. What a coincidence but we never connect afterwards. The oldest was 50+. The youngest was 8. That’s the range. Maybe I should join more so that I am always working on data structure and to improve on that. Not why a hardware doesn’t work. Or how to make a hardware work which is pretty much the job of the person who makes the hardware.

Amount

 The amount I spent on learning before applying actually costed me more money until I do enough work. Still learning process is still needed even while working.  Doing things subconsciously can make the easiest problem complicated. Could be your old habits or subconscious typing or the auto correction? hm.. This one is more like my habit. It is a hard to catch error when we did like that. I was thinking what goes wrong and no matter what I did, it would not return my desired results. Turned the code that I wrote previously and just a line only which I overlooked while checking, was blocking the rest of the changes… Dangerous code is the counter code that you wrote to right a wrong or blocking the wrong from working. That’s normally a temporary solution but the solution turned out to be preventing me doing other works… sigh… 😮‍💨  Today’s a lucky day and I found it while doing another part… so it is good not to always focus on one problem. The other problem could be the c...

Tools and Work

 Things I bought for work. Another addition of $18.60 to the lost count of things that I bought for work. USB C to HDMI adapter has ARRIVED. Previously, I bought a hoco. and it is working fine still but too bad Shopee and Lazada don’t have them. I bought UGREEN then. I am attracted to name with colours on it. Hehe. Need one at the office so that I have less thing to carry back and fro of home. I bought another ergonomic mouse. My hand could go numb from using the mouse. Actually I have hand numb issue since young. Writing makes my hand numb. Not sure if that is normal but I do practice. I am not entirely sure if that is right hand only. When I used my left, I can write for a long long time even though the hand writing looks bad.  Bought soldering iron and tools set. Bought HDMI to mini port display x 3. One not working anymore and that’s why I bought another 2 (UGREEN $7.48 and IVANKY) because the working laptop needed it to display on another monitor. Bought a portable monito...

hmmmm

Keyboard warrior's keyboard checked. Another Jean checked. It is to make up for the pants that I spoiled two days ago. Just when I arrived at the office, I sat on a chair whereby the surface is grid-like and the  buttoned-up fake pocket button on the right side got plucked off leaving a hole a bit on the upper side of the bum. There is a flap that was together with the button. It just covers the hole a bit. I am not sure if the slit that the button goes through was big enough to see through. I tried to ensure my shirt was over the hole though at least to cover while I was not seated. It wasn't a good time. I was wondering should I just walk off to buy another pants but decided not to because we were busy. That went on for the rest of the day. A day to remember. The pants lasted 10 years. I bought it during my first job at 2011. Anyway, it was a bit tight around the waist so shouldn't have worn it at all. Although I am a bit heavier, my waist is a bit off only. I wonder if m...
