That Was Quick ~ Thank God!

8/05/2010 07:31:00 AM Work No Comments

i received a letter this week from my boss and when he passed that letter to me, i didn't expect much thing out of it as i knew earlier that it's juz part of their protocol to wrap up the so call re-organization effort which was performed earlier of the year... it's just to confirm that you still have a role in the organization after the re-org...

as i opened up the letter, the title of the letter surprised me... and it mentioned something about me being promoted to my new role along with my new salary!... in my heart i was so damn happy but then i kept it to myself as i'm not sure about my the other colleague which was still waiting for his promotion letter for quite a long time already... yet, i'm happy that things that has been bothering me is now gone...

i finally gotten the grade promotion that i'm looking for...

First Objectives ~ Completed

7/14/2010 08:03:00 AM Work No Comments

if you were brought to here from my old blog site, then most likely you'll know that how difficult it was for me to have the role transfer accomplished... sigh*** and it's not done yet... aih***...

this new role of mine is 1 grade higher than my previous position and supposingly i should have an automatic promotion when i move to this new role and i honestly believed that i deserved this new grade, but then due to some circumstances... i was told that i need to prove myself worthy to that grade... i was like OK, what else can i do if i need the job... so i reluctantly agreed to prove myself since i'm pretty confident that i can do it anyway, so what's left would be pretty much the time before i got the grade...

but then another thing that bother me is that another colleague of mine still got his grade promotion held off until today and he has been working very hard to get his, so i'm taken aback a bit when i knew about this... so i'm gonna make sure that i will fight hard for mine, well as hard as his... sigh***

the worst thing is that when i move to this new role, my RM 600 worth of inconvenience allowances was taken away from me!!!... so i pretty much downgraded with this move... i desperately need the grade!!!...

and this week, i just completed the main objectives which will act as my benchmark to prove my worthiness... so i'm on route to fight for my grade in Oct or Nov this year...

and i dun wan to wait till Apr 2011!!!... aaarrrggghhhh....

Sametime Client 8.5 Installed ~ Finally

6/02/2010 07:24:00 AM Work No Comments

about a month ago, i managed to download the Lotus Sametime Client 8.5 from the internet but then it failed to be installed onto the laptop for some reason that i don't understand... not only that, but then in the process... i've also uninstall the version 8.0 which i've been using... zzzz...

so for the last 1 month plus, i've to basically downgrade myself back to the old and outdated Sametime Client 3.0 zzzz... pretty depressing huh??!!... but then yesterday, i tried reinstalling the 8.5 version once more and the result is still the same... it just failed and the log file is not understandable at all... not giving up, so i went thru that complex and difficult to read log file and found out that all the additional jar files needed are actually downloaded from the internet as the installation is running... and the problem is that the URL link to IBM site has been relocated, and that's the reason why the provisioning of the jar files failed...

i went over to the internet once more to test out the relocated site of IBM and found their new site which is called the Lotus Greenhouse... it's kinda of a site where once you've registered yourself in, you've access to most of their beta(s) program and this includes the Sametime Client 8.5 ;)

registration is a piece of cake and in no time i was downloading the file and this time i noticed that all the provisioning jar files are included in the download package... this means that it will no longer need to access the internet to download the jar files while installing... saves a lot of time during installation... and tada!... i'm on Sametime Client 8.5 now... ~cool~

you can access the Lotus Greenhouse here

Multiple Transformation at Work

5/28/2010 10:04:00 AM Work No Comments

transformation is the word being widely use and discuss over the past few months and is gonna be for the next few years... we attended the ITLT Hub visit yesterday which was held at the Shangri-La hotel in KL and i guess the most significant transformation that all of us in the office are eager to see would be the so called Desktop 7...

the Desktop 7 is an initiative to decommision all our dinosaur desktop/laptop which are still running OS and application which backdated 10 years ago... and the best thing is that the Desktop 7 transformation will have the laptop UNLOCKED rather than the LOCKED version which we have been using all these while...

not only that, we are also allowed to browse freely in the office soon to get our external e-mails and others stuff... so let's wait and see how and where this Desktop 7 transformation will brings us to... but the most important question will be will this Desktop 7 dream materialized...
