Research

Today I am in the office researching some tech options for a potentially major project. This is my first time to interact with Futures Trading and it’s so far been exciting, longs, shorts, hegding… quite interesting. As I write this it’s almost lunch time so I will probably leave in a few minutes to fuel up! This is like the first time in a while I have been able to just do some intense googling on a specific topic in a while and on something totally new, it’s awesome. And I like to think that I am probably the most learnable person you will come across.

I am back in class. Yep, after a one and a half week ‘holiday’.  This semester I am taking Business Law, Introduction to Macroeconomics, Information Resource Planning (I think), Cost Accounting and Computer Graphics (OpenGL here I come!). It promises to be an exciting semester. Yesterday we had Business Law, quite interesting, and the discussion was quite interesting as well.  In case the mix of subjects seems a bit wierd, BBIT is what I like to think of as the outcome of a bond between Comp Sci and BA. This semester has more of the BA than the Comp Sci. What I love about it is that at the end of the day not only do I get to learn all the cool and (mostly) geeky tech stuff but also see how it fits within the business world, plus I have a keen liking for business.

Some pals are asking me to host a 2-day party at my place, yep, 2 days, and there is another group of pals from church who want an overnight party, movies, fun n food! The same thing we did over new-year’s eve. It was awesome, we called it ‘The Wolf Plot’ so they are labelling this one ‘The Wolf Plot II’… cool, eh!

One warrior!

Microsoft



First of all isn’t it funny how you end up ‘googling for yahoo, or googling for microsoft’. Ok, maybe it’s a lame joke but I found myself doing exactly that many many times. Does that say something about Google, yahoo and MS???

Well, so I was looking for some info on what it’s like to work at Microsoft. Here are some interesting results:

MS jobsblog, interesting stories.

Someone’s experiences at Microsoft, Google and Yahoo!

The ups and downs of working at MS

Tim Sneath on getting a job at MS

Jeremy on getting a job at MS

Lovely stories from guys who interviewed at MS

Interesting article!

There is also a three-series video on Channel 9 on interviewing at MS. Can’t quite remember the URL but as soon as I get it I will give you the URL.
