knock knock..anybody home?

errr...hello guys...is everyone still here?

i've been regularly checking everyone's blog for updates but seems like all the blogs are put to the sleep mode...not a word.
is everyone getting too busy with work or issit just pure laziness?
c'mon guys..move your fat ass and start WRITING!!

hahahha..ok..look who's talking eh..:P
i myself have not updated my blog for ages...well as for me, i admit its laziness.this is my problem...if i take a break from something for sometime..then its just so hard for me to start it back again..
its just SOOOO HARD....
REALLY HARD!!

i wrote so many posts actually..but all not published coz i didnt have time to go through the grammar check and the story flow. so what i'll do is just write the stuff and save it as draft..intending to check it later when im free.
but that "later" never came..and as a result all the so called draft posts are piling up..i dont know when will i ever get the time to check them.

so how has my life been lately?
hmm..things are getting better here.im kinda getting adapted to my new environment and getting along ok with my bosses and colleagues..so far so good (touchwood...).
well probably the main reason for this is because..the entire new software development team that we have now consist of all new recruits.
the previous Software Engineers all left due to some misurderstanding with one of the boss and then we came in..and thankfully after a month we joined the "sophisticated" boss decided to leave as well.
so now its like a fresh new team without any problematic people.
and yeah..that boss who left was surely a complicated person..just one month working with him..i myself came to the stage of quitting this new job.
but somehow he decided to do us all good by leaving...phieww..nightmare over.
so now we're free to have fun do work.

hmm..but yeah there is one obvious problem now that we have a whole new team of fresh recruits.
can u guys guess?

well..mainly im the one effected by this problem which is i have to learn up all the systems that im maintaining all by myself as the seniors have all left.
and its all in Java and there is some kinda framework that they use here..which i have been having a bit of trouble catching up with the way it is configured and all.
and as u guys know..these senior software engineers left out of misunderstanding with the boss..so u know wat programmers do if u piss them off before they leave the company rite?

but these fellas didnt really mess up with the codes...they just left without leaving a single clue on how the next person is gonna take over.so i know nuts about their work.

so mr.ash here is the hero..i'm the only one assigned to take over all the systems tat has been left by these seniors coz the remaining new SE's are all exported to another new project..leaving the little boy to survive in this world full of complicated adults.:(
so as for now im trying all the possible crazy ways i can possibly think of to fix the bugs whenever there is a problem with the clients.
i've messed up twice already..and the second one was a permanent damage..but thankfully they had some other alternatives to work that out.
so lets see when whole system is gonna collapse...and i will go into hiding...:D

but now its kinda okay..one of my colleague is helping me out and i have two interns who are very hardworking as well.so all i do is just sit down and watch them do my work.

besides the support for all these systems..im also working on 2 new projects.all in pure JSP using Struts and of course our dear RUP methodology..hehe..only da RUP part i know wat im doing.the JSP part im blindly trying my luck..hopefully the system wont crash while im still around..:P

and another interesting thing tat happens here occasionally is the seminars they send me to. these seminars are usually on our vendors product or those organized by IBM, oracle etc.
one good thing abt the seminars organized by our vendors is the hotels they choose.
so far i've had the chance to go to Hilton in Sentral & JW Mariott KL.
i actually wrote a post on the Hilton one..but well u know where is the post is right now rite..:D

so i guess that's about it from me...
an overall summary of my working life right now. there is so much more things i would like to write abt my workplace..but well we'll save for another time k..;)
