- Sebanyak 3 kali aku kena tukar manager, selama tu format morning report aku tak pernah bertukar. Ada la sikit-sikit penambahan, untuk dia tahu. Tapi manager baru ni, terus tukar semua format dan cara. Aku takde la nak komplen pasal ni. Tapi korang bayangkan macam mana attitude manager ni.
- Set KPI untuk staff mengikut value/count. Dulu, aku merasakan ikut sedap rasa ni, akan menyusahkan aku sebab takde ruang untuk aku proofkan KPI aku. Tapi sekarang, susah nak proof dalam single form. Lagi la, nak dapatkan 4 incident dalam 1 hari, masalahnya bukan susah. Tapi what if 2 incident hanya boleh selesai dalam 1 hari? Ok, dia kata ikut timeline. Kalau aku submit, perlu ke aku terangkan timelinenya nanti? Ada sessi interview ke?
- Bila aku dapat bonus hari tu, manager suruh tingkatkan lagi pencapaian supaya mendapat bonus dan increment lagi tahun depan. Umur meningkat, usaha belum tentu boleh meningkat. Kalau kekalkan pencapaian tu, kira boleh la juga.
- Delegate segalanya pada staff bawahan dan tiada fight untuk anak buat. Kita yang perlu fight depannya dan dapatkan proof bahawa kita rajin bekerja.

Computing Professionals Bill 2011 - Akta Badan Perkomputeran Professional 2011
After the draconian Peaceful Assembly Bill, Malaysia is now trotting out the next Really Bad Idea: the Computing Professionals Bill 2011. You can read the draft bill here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/75107593/CPB2011-Draft
The gist of it is this: the plan is to create a Board of Computing Professionals and make it mandatory by law for all computing professionals to be registered with and certified by said board.
This board will decide whether you are a 'properly' qualified professional. There will of course be registration fees involved, payable yearly. And a proposed 'fund' created. Why does all this smell rather like a poorly disguised moneymaking scheme?
If you are NOT a registered member, you are prohibited from submitting "proposals,plans,designs,drawings,schemes,reports,studies or others to be determined by the Board to any person or authority in Malaysia".
In other words, if I don't register, it is technically illegal for me to even email ANY MALAYSIAN with even an IDEA for a tech-related project. It would be against the law for me to even sketch, on a napkin, my idea for a new app while having coffee with someone.
Want to know the hilarious part? The country with a bill nearly identical to ours is...NIGERIA. -> http://www.cpn.gov.ng/index.php?page=showcnt&cat=4&subc=0&id=3 . So we're taking a leaf out of their book? Brilliant, Malaysia, totally brilliant.
In countries like Australia, there are professional bodies like the Australian Computer Society. But enrollment is voluntary - in Malaysia, the powers that be are figuratively putting a gun to the head of every computing professional. "Register or you'll be deemed doing business illegally."
Why is this a big deal? The bill goes against the grain of everything tech stands for. It's about innovation and the freedom to create; things this bill intends to snuff out. What's to stop the country from deciding what kind of tech we're allowed to create?
The bill even states that IT professionals are not allowed to participate in fields not within their expertise. So if I'm a registered systems analyst but taught myself to program in Rails in my spare time, it would be ILLEGAL for me to do some coding for a client unless I re-declare my skills.
As an IT grad and ex-tech worker, I learned first-hand that it isn't paper qualifications that count as much as proven skills. I know programmers without degrees or any form of certification who are skilled, competent and in most cases, entirely self-taught. After all, the biggest names in the global IT industry —Bill Gates, the late Steve Jobs, Michael Dell and Larry Ellison—dropped out of college.
Dear tech industry workers, I urge you to oppose the bill.
Oppose it because it seeks to force you to limit and narrowly define the scope of your talents.
Oppose it because the government is effectively trying to decide what you can or cannot work on and who you can work with.
Oppose it because unnecessary regulation like this will cripple, not enhance the already challenged industry.
Oppose it because this is a poorly thought out, badly put-together piece of bullcrap.
I'll be damned if I'll let the government insist I register with them and pay them money for the freedom to program, build websites and apps or propose tech-related ideas to my fellow Malaysians.

Google henti projek tenaga murah dan diperbaharui untuk data centre
Tidak tahu kenapa Google menghentikan projek yang amat berguna untuk manusia dan berharga ini. Tetapi kalau kita tengok, data centre memerlukan tenaga yang amat tinggi untuk beroperasi 24/7.
Tenaga kitar semula (renewable) atau pelbagai tenaga yang baik untuk alam, memerlukan kos yang bukan sedikit. Walaupun untuk mengurangkan kos dan menjimatkan tenaga, tetapi pembinaan dan kajian memerlukan kos yang tinggi. Juga pengeluaran tenaga yang diperlukan tidak cukup untuk digunakan untuk sesebuah data centre.
Sebagai contoh, solar panel yang dipasang di atas bumbung belum tentu cukup menggerakkan operasi 24/7 kecuali di tempat itu mendapat cahaya matahari 24/7. Tenaga yang dihasilkan solar panel juga, belum tentu cukup untuk mengggerakkan server, network, lampu, penghawa dingin dan sebagainya yang berjumlah beratus atau beribu kW.
Ada satu data centre dalam pembinaan di Bandar Enstek, dikatakan dibina di Malaysia disebabkan kos tenaga yang rendah berbanding Singapura. Ini akan menarik minat pengguna luar negara menggunakan kemudahan di data centre ini. Tetapi, kerajaan Malaysia baru-baru ini, akan mengenakan levi 1% ke atas bil elektrik. Levi 1% ini akan digunakan bagi pembangunan dan penyelidikan tenaga diperbaharui.
Aku pernah mengambil kursus Certified Data Centre Professional (CDCP). Dari situ, didapati untuk mendapatkan data centre yang ideal memerlukan kos yang tinggi untuk peralatan dan tenaga. Tenaga di sini adalah seperti elektrik, air, dan bahan api (diesel) bagi menghidupkan generator elektrik di waktu kehilangan tenaga elektrik dari grid nasional.
Dalam kursus ini juga dikatakan menjadi satu usaha untuk menghasilkan standard untuk data centre yang jimat tenaga dan menggunakan tenaga yang diperbaharui tetapi masih lagi belum menjadi kenyataan.
