Hmmm

The worst thing about doing things as design somehow drives me crazy. I saw a page that is hideous and so I chop chop and done. Not until I saw the next page, I felt like grabbing the designers and throw them out of planet earth. I have to repeat the same information over and over again for the convenience of the user but why need so when it has been done before. It is not an editor and it is not a newspaper or notebook… The information is emailed and printed. At the end of the flow, I have a dozen of objects and a dozen of table processing all the information. I chopped a dozen of trees and the last page, I have to repeat again. Having a big data structure was crazy enough. The UI…. crazy enough too. I have to redo the struct or edit the struct to meet what was needed on that last page… Sigh… The requirement is getting larger so is the data. Sometimes, I guess we need to reject to keep the data healthy. Else, it is going to accumulate more and more to compensate for the none linear requirements. When it is none linear, the complexity increased. The more the trouble. Bound to have small errors here and there if there is no bridge in between. Good insight. Now I understand if previous developer wants to kill me for my design. When u r the one doing the program, u design in its simplicity. Else, design as in nobody needed to develop. Of course, anything can be developed, but is it ugly from the inside out or outside in, that’s something to be pondered.

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.

Funny Things

 Scam has definitely affect everyone daily like never before. When my cousin got my number and wants to connect, she put a photo on whatsapp’s profile photo and also sent me her picture to verify she wasn’t a scammer. The fact is that scammers did that too. In fact the more professional the photo was, the more likely it is a scam. When I applied a job, I will also worry it is a scam. Especially no email and I cannot find much on the internet. The only thing that makes the interview sounded right was the interview ways of speaking and a more lifelike profile picture. I chose to believe it and if it hadn’t post on mycareersfuture, I wouldn’t have believe the job was legal when email has problem. I thought email was always the sign of legitimate business or scam. In 2024, anyone can doubt now. I can receive a legitimate email or message that was scam and also non-legitimate as not scam… How inconvenient so I treated all as a scam. Better safe than sorry. Most people fell to the scam i...
