“Because I said so”

Today our Unispace blog had changed from unispaceworks.blogspot.com to blog.unispaceworks.com. This is to reflect a more streamline our websites addresses. Hope this will make easier time for our readers or customers who are following our blogs.
Today i just made some changes in my blog. There's been ages i have updated our blog. As a programmer, i always fascinated with animated programs. So today i made some adjustments to the blog to show a really cool tag clouds. It's combination of flash and some fancy javascripts.
It's a product from WP-Cumulus made by Roy Tanck which meant for WordPress. But there are different implementations for WP-Cumulus and for blogger i found from Amanda Fazani. In her article, we explain how to install BlogCumulus by changing Template and voila we are done! there are some tweaking to it, such as fonts, background color. So for more info, check it out here.
Today found an interesting slides on Business Model and it's business example is Skype, an VOIP software company.
Interesting to know how to position our business model based on this slides? Will update in the next post. See if that helps us.
Please leave your comments if you have other ideas on your Business Model.

Something to share about Social Media which a buzz this couple of years. Here's a video showing what is social media about and their impact to our current world...
Heard of facebook before? :-D i guess so.... Enjoy the show....
Last week, Veyron and I attended a 1 day workshop. The title of the workshop is "Gold Mindset for Technopreneurs". It was organized by Mdec and Change University.
It started our abit late where i'm late as well. It suppose to be start at 9am and i reach there about 915am.... but luckily i'm not the last, there are couple of people that are late as well. Thus we start about 930am. We started off with some ice break sessions and then our first game 'Blue and Red' game. I'm not going details on the games but i play that before in my Asiaworks course, thus i was relegated to Observer role. But it's pretty good to see those people playing the game and i thought it will be alot of twist but in the end, ethics prevails and one participants points out maybe the stakes of the games is not high enough.
the sharing sessions after the game, i felt dragged abit long and mostly due to trainers really want us to know about what we want to achieve out from the workshop. About 1230pm, we break for lunch. Nothing fancy about the lunch but i had ot with the trainer and we had a good chat about power presentation for senior management like CEO.
we resume our workshop at 130pm and we started off with focus games and how focus enable us to reach our goals. i think the highlights of the afternoon is on the next game we about to play, the speed game. the game is really simple, the goal of the game is achieve the fastest time for all 19 person from the outside of the room and sitted on the chair. the time is counted from everyone come in and last person sit down on the chair. Well first i thought this is going be boring.
the first time we did it, from opening the door , rushing in and scrambling for a chair, all of us took 14 seconds and we thought it's okay. Trainer ask us can we do better than 14 seconds and we say we can. for the next few times, we did from 14 seconds to 8-9 seconds. We did alot of strategies like rearrange the chairs nearer to the door, line our selves up before go in and synchronize our movements and many little things. But our trainer told us that little things only will improves little time as we tried a few times and we still achieved about the same time.
Thus this seriously need a new way of doing it and we did. Most of the time i was the follower, follow whatever other self-elected leaders says. We in the end split ourselves into 2 groups as there are two doors and we achieve 5 seconds. But now trainer told us this is not even bronze timing. And we were like how can this be. We adjust and coordinate better and change some people in two groups. In the end, after i think 20 times of trying, we manage to break the record of 3.58 seconds. We really relieved we made it and break the previous 2 groups record.
i think this help breaks the ice for all of us and we feel we really achieved something that day which we never thought possible. So i think everyone that day learn about change and how learn to change and cope with change can lead us to some better place. We are all champions that day.
We end the day with alot of sharing and from everyone sharing i guess alot of people is learning something and some participants that in the morning seems withdraw or uninterested suddenly by end of the day, all come to life and willing to share their thoughts. Which i can really change and those people has truly "stretched".
As for me, that day i learned something about myself and makes me think alot, deep into what is i want to achieve the days forward. For the past 2 months, we as a group has learn alot and for me is a really eye opener to world of entrepreneurship. But i'm glad i'm part of it now and enjoy the ride and see where this will take us forward. So readers, if you have any interesting stories, let us know. cheers :p

A fews weeks ago, i was discussing on the LAMP architectures based on a slides i'm found in the internet.
Today i also want to share another quite interesting slides on scable web architectures. This has more details to it from presentation layer all the way to data layer which is find most interesting. As we all know data layer is hardest to scale as it's quite hard to seperate your data out and merge it back in one query. And if you keep all you data in one place, sooner or later, you'll find that it will degrades faster than you say 'We have problem, Houston'. But of my recent reads in internet, all methods involves open source.
So how about microsoft stuff? Do microsoft have architecture to scale? Or they just don't have what the open source has? Or should architecture be technology-agnostic to be fully effective?
Well i will let you enjoy the slides or leave me your comments on this.
Enjoy!

Today i come upon a interesting slide that discuss about architectural of a web based workflow platform. It has interesting concepts that made up the platform.
The one i want explore more is they sugges to used LAMP platform which consists of Linux, Apache, MySQL and
PHP
Perl, hence LAMP as the platform to host the system.
PHP
Perl, hence LAMP as the platform to host the system.
But what about if the other rest of the population uses Microsoft technologies? So what it should be? Is it Windows, IIS, SQL, ASP.net? WISA... sounds abit weird, is it?
But whatever it is, seems like these are the only 2 that i know of. So i'm just wondering is there other combinations to create web platform that has the similar features. So any takers anyone?
But if you don't have any opinions, just enjoy the slide. :-D
