Life in the past few weeks

A typical day:nWork from 9.30 till 18.00narrive at Unigym at 19.00 workout till about 20.00,ngot home at about 20.30, take shower, have di
er, chit chat with wife till about 21.30-ishnif tired then just watching tv, surfing internet or talking, if there’s problem at work, I will do some thinking and surfing for solutions. Then do some reading on finance news, look at opportunities in the share market. nread the bible for wife, then either do some more work or play Gunbound or reading web design mags or shares mags/books.
Is this the life that I am looking for? I don’t know, I know I am enjoying it, but knowing me, I’m pretty sure I’d bored too one day with web design/development and sharemarket hehe. Then maybe I’ll just become a fitnes instructor!!! or a cook! or a barista!!
hm thank God for life, I hope I am not too caught up with material world, the excitment of solving programming problems etc. They all won’t matter in the end, will it?

Configuring WAMP

Just few tricks and pitfalls.nDifferent Apache version and PHP version need to be work out. nPHP5 doesn’t support MYSQL extension straight away.nlibmysql.dll if found in c:\windows\system32 needs to be changed with the newer one supplied by PHP.nPHP.INI holds important config stuff. Important is the short hand notation

Web Developing Job

Hm, so finally I got a job in IT.

It’s still not a proper job that I would like, but close enough. I am subcontracting for S3 Design group for a period of 2 months. The work is ok, developing website is fun (and at times stressful!!).

Positive:
– Got to work with clever ppl! Their framework is so cool! So easy to make a functional backend system.
– Got to learn heaps.
– I enjoy website development.
– People are really nice.

Negative:
– CSS sucks!!! AARGHH!
– Underpaid with longer working hours, I got $15.65 ph WITHOUT TAX!!! OMG, this pisses me off a bit. I work as a data entry ops before and they pay like $17 for a no brainer work. Oh well, I got to learn, but seriously after 2 months, they better pay me more :P.
– “static” chair, no wheels not gas lifted.
