My god it's full of tennis balls!

Busy weeks

So much for the Neoteny updates, last two weeks has been a case of Murphy's Law unleashed. Barely had time for anything else besides the events unfolding at work.

Catching up on Android development now. Getting the hang of it. Eclipse integration makes it a wonderful and painless experience.

Neoteny Singapore Camp 1

Attended Neoteny at SMU on Saturday, primarily to meet up with James and to get a feel of what the VCs and entrepreneurs are doing here.

I'll do a writeup later. Plenty of work keeping me busy later part of that Saturday till today.

Renting stuff off the Cloud

While chatting with the owner of BuUuk.com(Jon), he briefly mentioned that he was using Amazon EC to serve static content at a cheap rate. This got me thinking - perhaps I can host my lab machine on the cloud and rent it at a far cheaper rate than what I would pay for a physical machine. I'll have to do my calculations( or best impression of it ) and then dive in and hope for the best :)

Being clever and not following standards

Had a quick glance and will look it over later. Programmers sometimes(or is it most of the time) have the habit to perform a 'quick hack', a duct tape approach if you will, when approaching a problem. It solves the problem fast but by not following coding practices set by the organization will cause headaches later on for the rest of the team.
