Yesterday I complained to my wife that I don’t really like signalling railway, not the way some of my colleagues or the people I meet in the industry. I then went on that I don’t really adore engineering, either mechanical engineering such as automotive, where some people know the horsepower of the new concept car…
I was in a meeting today when I described a process using a cake analogy, again, and most of my colleagues looked at me in askance. I think I should try using other analogies other than a cake analogy. The thing is though I like cake and I think most people have eaten cake, even…
Reading the title and that the speaker used to work in Motorola, catches my interest to view the recording. The presentation was okay, and the presenter he knows his stuff, especially since he was involved since before I was born, but in the end I don’t really quite get what he wants, or I don’t…
I went to a training recently where the trainer said don’t leave yet because he has a certificate for us. I was a bit surprised because it was a free course done by volunteers, which won’t normally hand out certificates. Normally it’s the one done by big companies where they charge you big money, that…
I read a newsletter where it was rumoured/assumed that people were faking AI. How weird, and it turned out that wasn’t true. Now if people were using AI to fake things up, that is quite common nowadays. Videos or audios of people, especially famous ones, can be easily created. But there’s almost always a slight…
Sometimes, some days, you feel a bit slow or unmotivated to do things. Some days, some people are very opposed to an instruction, that they question everything. Both of these situations are the extremes, and are different aspects of approaching things, but both do not get the job done. I think it is important to…
My wife and I visited a group of friends recently and we inadvertently talked about future and retirement. One point of interest was that in Malaysia, people are normally forced out of work and into retirement, while in the UK, quite a lot of people, especially knowledge workers, continue to work past their 60s. This…
I remember attending a talk about 10 years ago where this founder said that he tracked everything, from the calories to the duration of his exercise, because he read from a book, that what you tracked, will get better results. I don’t remember the book but I will get AI to find it for me….
I used to work with a German guy named Landgraf, and when asked what I could improved, he said that I was not proactive enough. I am paraphrasing this, as this was more than 10 years ago and I don’t remember the exact words. He said that it didn’t seem that I understand or show…
A friend and an ex-colleague of mine invited to his house for some pizza yesterday. We talked and he asked how’s life, considering we haven’t met for more than a year after he resigned. It was a simple question, and was responded with simple answers. Basically updates of my life (and also work details) and…
