Week 11

Has been a pretty busy week with assignments due and stuff. Have been working around the clock to get all my stuff in order. Meeting at uni tomorrow with the guys to work on some documentation and stuff. Should hopefully get tons done tomorrow. Cant believe how fast this semester has gone by..... I can see the end!

Was a slow weekend, everyone went to the Footy I guess. Still battling with broadband in Berwick. Its absolutely insane. Now wored broadband in a brand new Estate. Havve been waiting for almost 2 years now. Satellite broadband is such a headache I tell you. Latency is so so high bit on the other had at least I got something a little bit better then "dielup"

Ridiculous!!!!!

Until next week!!!!!

Week 10

Damn ticket offices, could not even give me 5 minutes to update my ticket. Well 5 minutes later and a $60 fine. That just sucks........ Damn ticket tumble dryer.....
Well my car....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............. Has set me back another $600. CV joints need replacing..... Come on car just a few more weeks to go until I replace you.

Skipped our IE meeting this week due to work commitments but all has seemed to go through very well. Just some tidying up here and there to finish up. Need to get the user guide finalized between us all. Craig and James absulutely light years ahead in terms of programming and designing the system. One of the very few talented people I have met.

Yousef and I have finalized our database syncing with SQLYOG. Seamlessly easy tool to use and works very well! One way syncing and two syncing is available. Have also looked at rysnc. Works very well as well. Thats the linux version......

Opensource for open minds!!!!!

Until next week!

Week 9

Well, the end is almost here!!! Anxiety is building up and eventually everything is going to be gone by so fast. Its starting to get scary to know that in just a little over a month and half we are out of here and into the big world. Have attended the IBM career fair today. Seems like a pretty interesting place to work at but being an international you need to have your PR sorted out before you can apply for these roles which is the down side but in the next few months I should have that and am willing to give IBM a shot and see how I go.

IE, lets see, still busy with db syncing. Havent wrapped it around my head as well. Definitely not as easy as I thought it would be. Looking at some tools like rsync for linux and see how that works. But all in all, James has got more than 90% of the system running and from a functional point of view its pretty sound. User docs and guides are a daunting task but will get there eventually.

Other than that, am pushing hard on the other assignments coming up and hoping to finish them all up soon!

Until Next week!

Week 8

I just wish my car would work for me when I really need it to work. First it was, starter motor, then the brakes and now the cv joints!!!!!!Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Money, money, money!!!! I just need it for a few more weeks. Come on car hang in there. So much for my waggon wheel.

Uni has went well this week, meeting with out client this week, looking forward to that. Development is at +- 80%. Still have some tidying up to do, such as user guide, installation guide etc..... Lots of work ahead......

Other subjects going pretty well, interesting stuff with FIT3056 Secure and Trusted Software Systems. Learning about Buffer Overflows, SQL injections, Awesome stuff DR Le. Analysis and Design Methods streaming along steadily. Just finishing up stuff for my portfolio for SDI.

Looking forward to the end now!!!! Cant wait to get back into Industry!

Week 7

It has been considerably a busy week indeed. Lots of assignments due and work that needs to be covered. Secure Software has been a real challenge this semester. Some really interesting stuff that we are currently exploiting for our first assignment. Its scary to know how exploitable code can actually be..... Very interesting unit Monash.

FIT2027 has been good. As always POD and Dave = 100%;;;;; Thank you! IE has be going good. We have a meeting next week with our client as they are back from my home country Africa. At least the lions did not rip them apart cos we spoke to them today.DB sync stuff going good but also looking into replication with mysql and going to see how difficult or easy it is to implement and deploy. Looks easy by theory but practically I think its not that straight forward.

The end is almost here now.... Cant wait for it!!!!! Lets go boys!
