challenges are struggling me!

Day after day, time after time, and the programming stuff is coming to me like a stream of water. I love this situation very much, but it takes much effort of my health. If I have a good health and strength then I can have it.. like a piece of pizza. When this thing come to me, I feel like biting a pizza, of course this work really make my mind relaxing. In recent days, I , however need to balanced between my favourite job and my non-favourite jobs, which, in certain case seeking my ability to run a specific kind of unregistered skills or knowledge or even talent job at a time. Well, these job seems to be completed on time, so as my favourite ones. This sometimes makes me feels like facing a culture shock, which I haven't had it before because it seems like I'm in the other lines. The job that I means is just like a clerk's job, serving and calming people, and sometimes handling a papers, paperclips, and a stapler.(See how funny is it!) So these are all kind of job which I used to hate before, but now I have to make it a part of my duty and blend it together with my all-day work. Yes, maybe its right that we can't choose the job nowadays, especially in our own country, Malaysia, where there are a lot of unemployed graduates and a lot of empty job positions too. This makes the ratio stays the same, 1 jobless to 1 positions every day, so as the numbers grows. What makes this happens is all of them keep choosing or in our local language (kuat memilih), is what are we refering to. If banglas and Indons can grab them even faster, why can't we? Its like buying a nasi lemak, where everyone is busy choosing each items to fit in.

So lets get the things goes on, problems pass by, but the main and important thing is we got to face the challenge, use our brain to solve the problems, and let the pass became the barrier to us so that the same problems never comes again. As the things happens, never forgot that we are under His watch and what are we doing is to live in His way, may He bless us all. Alhamdulillah.

1st Release Of Profile Management System

Actually this should be written earlier, where it should be the last 2 week before now. As I've just started this new blog today, so I have to post this earliest version of my first software release, which are version 1.0.0.0 . This release contain nothing but just the entries form to make the client's basic entries. There are no menus, but just the corresponding form to be open(in Access), where user has to click on the list of forms shown(I'll tell them which the form is:)). So, when this form is opened, the view is likely to be a very helpful, yet attracting to the users who are in their middle ages(as claimed by the MPWS members during the last meeting), as they said. On this form the user will see a large table(actually I've been using flexgrid), usually an ordinary 'datasheet' in Access, so the user will click to select which record they may want to refer to. Then, at the bottom part of this form, there are two group of buttons, which are the record manipulation on the upper part and the links to the corresponding details at the lower part. If you wish to view a screenshots of my form, I will posts it here later. So, please wait! All of these buttons have their reference to the list above(which are the client's ID), and functioning uppons it(altough there are some buttons still without any functions:)).

So this is my first release. There could be changes. Afterall, the changes appears to my second release, which are scheduled to be in this January, and here I hope there will be more cool functions and looks on it. Well, this is all about VB. After the third release(or maybe second), I thought, there will be possible to migrate this project into .NET environment. As it will become a database centered, where server is included, I might suggest that the migration is needed. Hence the technologies goes. Nothing goes further without the technologies support nowadays. We could see if anything change, even a single line of code, could bring to the huge changes, including the support from the user for the technologies. This is required in order to integrate the specification of the developer's side and the user's side. If they can keep it along, so I'll be lucky.

Ok, see ya in the next issues, wait for the incoming releases!
