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.

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.
