Game or rest when you feel you are tired and doing nonsense thing.

I was doing nonsense whole day in my working day; Surfing around on the Google for looking Ruby languages of thing. By the way, I cannot think of some solution for my codes or my work. Feeling frustrated is not a good way to release your tension,so, I rather to spend my time on some relaxing game or rest my brain. Maybe I am too tired lately. Therefore, I am planning to take a rest next week. :) Just try to play the game when you are tired or doing nonsense thing.

I am doing about researching work and writing some firmware regression test case of thing.

Exported Blogger post to geekswithblogs.net

I am planning to clone my blog to geekswithblogs.net. I found out that geekswithblogs.net support BlogML. BlogML is a markup to export your current blog contents or post to a xml formatted file. Anyway, you can go to the link below to learn more:

My team being dismissed and I learned something.

Something special happened in my life. My team being dismissed. The reason given is the biz is centered at U.S.A as the software aim for Aerospace & De fence. (Nonsense, right? If so, why form this few months ago?) My team will be re-deployed to other department too. But, they still have no position for me yet. I have gone through once re-deployment and restructuring in my ex-Company Intel before and I have very good luck to gone through it. Anyway, this is my first time to face re-deployment in my career.
The feeling of being re-deployed is not good. I felt like just like a specimen/mice for the scientist.
Don't know about my future, my career now. But, the good thing is I can have my free time to learn more thing and explore more things, I like that!!
I learned to assembly the Cognex Insight Vision Camera and how to operate the camera. It is cool and it is an IP Camera. Well, I think I will have my lot of time to play with it...Waiting for the "Scientist" to "operate" me...

Impressed by this.

Just play around in youtube, can you do this? I am impressed by this. That's cool. Lol.

IT Video Clips - cool lyrics

Research on DirectShow

What is Direct Show? I have been doing a lot of research on DirectShow. This is because I found out that DirectShow can used as interface to deal your media or even web camera. It is quite interesting. Anyway, actually there are alot of ways to deal or interface with WebCam. There are

1. WIA (Windows Image Acquisition),
   
2. VFW(Video For Windows) and also
   
3. DirectShow (the one I am doing for Research).

Like to surf Code Project

I guess most of the developers, engineers and programmers like to search or surf codeproject.com and I found few of the most articles I like is the motion detection algorithms, laser gesture recognition. The contributers are super talented~And I like to read the blog "Ashish's Programming Journal" by Ashish lately. He is able to make integration of webcam and laser to make a control system. It is super awesome! Anyway, hope to read more post from Ashish and hope can have my utilities to make a one like it.

Back to blog.

I has been busy for 1 month plus for my work in new company. That is alot of new stuffs need to be learned and integrate with it. I took almost whole day and night to work on them lately. I feel that is tough to me but it is very interesting to me. Anyway, I will be back to blog after those time. Wait for my blog~

Learning C++

Already move to the new company. Taken few days to learn the Visual C++ for the new project in the new company. This is the job requirement from the project and boss. I learned C++ few years ago. But, forgot all already. Just like everything flush out from my brain. Anyway, feeling hard to accept the pointer concept after you dealt with .NET sometimes. Still long way to go for learning ATL COM in C++.

New topic for research - Gesturing

Anyone ever think about that with using gesturing, we can make some action in your desktop or laptop without using your mouse. For example, moving your head to the left, your mouse pointer will be go to the left, or even move your finger or hand in your webcam to control the mouse. Anyway, this type of scene have seen in a movie before, the Minority Report. Some how, this can be really happen in real life, just try to see this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLhMVNdplJc
And for those feel interesting, you can go to MIT's project site for have an review on the report. I am planning to use my webcam to explore on the gesturing action too.

Playing around with Virtual Cam

I have been playing around with Virtual Cam lately. You can install it although you don't have a webcam. It will act as a real webcam. It allow you to use pictures, videos, or your desktop as the webcam and broadcast them out. Anyway, there are few softwares that support this feature.
Just lookout them and experience it:

• http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/msn_virtual_webcam_info/index1.htm (Most of them just free trial)

• http://www.splitcamera.com/download.html (Free)

Microsoft Firefox?

Yesterday is my Last Day in my company

As what I decided this beginning of month, I resigned from my existing company. Although it provides a good environment to learn new thing, it provides good training opportunity, it provides good working life style...flexible working hours, but I decided to resign. It is because it is too tire for me. I worked for extra hours everyday, even weekend or holiday. I felt too tire, I don't want to retain in this type of environment. It is not the life that I want. Anyway, I accepted the better offer from other company. You can visit this page for more detail.

It was my last day in my existing company yesterday. I felt hard to leave my colleagues . But, I felt very exicited to move to new company too. When I was returning my laptop, I am not only the one to return, but the room of service centre is fill up with people. I guess they are leaving the company too as they all were returning laptop. Anyway, good luck to we all. All the best for us in a new year~

Counting Down to move to new Company

Few weeks ago, I had my decision. I will resign and leave my current company. It is a multi National company as well. I will have my job scope and skills changes after went there. I will be the R & D Software Engineer over there and not doing development on only software side. The job scope will need me to learn up to deal with hardware. I will learn how to use the library to code the utility to test the hardware and so on. It seems a very interesting new skills. But, How will my life be after been there? Who knows that? I will tell you after I work there. Anyway, still have 13 days to go. Good luck to me~By the way, don't worry as I will be still researching on the .NET and Microsoft technologies.
