Where are you?

The latest salary survey for Asia Pacific from ZDNet. Don't worry if you are not even close to the fringe of the range. It takes a lot of effort, and brutality, in order to get to such positions. Oops... sour grapes?

Cheers.

勁翔 re-posted on In Media a fable on Education Reform (Chinese) that he wrote about a year and a half ago. Seems like the coporate self improvement/destruction movement has invaded our education system some time ago. Dilbert (school edition) will come soon...

Response from Anti on his blog regarding possible anti-censorship measures by the US government earlier.

Internet companies 'must respect free speech'

The anti-censorship measures might or might not work, but at least a gesture showing that the world is watching!

..4. Fujitsu's behemoth Itanium server

The behemoth server news link

With the way that most corporate programmers write sqls, this server will become a necessity very soon for running one sql, minimal configuration 100GB memory (the sql wont' run unless the whole database is cached).

How can one live without such a survival guide in the corporate nowadays? This is the best invention since sliced bread...

Don't you think we are all that serious. Office work is full of fun actually. BTW, who moved my cheese?

Ha, yet another Drupal site? Well, it has been ages since my last subnet142.com setup. Earlier, it lived for a while on the Microsoft Personal Web Server at my home PC (it was when ISPs had not yet blocked any port), and then a brief exercise on ASP under the same home PC for posting of restaurant menus. It wasn’t for business but simply to facilitate my take-away ordering in the office – well, the good old days of overnight programming.

cMM - cannibalism maturity model

Mon, 22 Aug 2005 02:01:42 +0800

(One night, I read an article about corporate psychopaths, and suddenly realize that CMM could be such a fun topic...)

Cannibalism Maturity Model^® Integration (cMMI) is a behavioral improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective destruction. It can be used to guide employees on the transformation from humans to animals across a project, a division, or an entire organization. cMMI helps integrate traditionally separate whitepapers of mass destruction (WMD), set abusive behavior improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality abuses, and provide a point of reference for appraising current level of damage. It was rumored that DoD sponsored the work of cMMI.
