Just tried Yahoo Meme. An enriched version of Twitter, with more comprehensive multimedia support – photos, videos and audios. In fact it’s not bad at all. Maybe it’s the product which replaced Yahoo 360º ?

Worth to watch.

A very good analysis on how decision making affect welfare and happiness, though some of the ideas are not new, but way very practical when applying to negotiation, marketing and business strategy.

My favorite part in the video is about how options related to expectation :D.

Were you just waiting for us to come? I felt deep sorry for coming so late.

Happy to announce the update is now available on App Store. Hope you guys will like it. New feature list can be found in the web site.

I would like to thank you all my teamates, you guys are great.

I started to prepare for the exam one week before it took place. Altogether I’ve spent about 35 hours on all preparation, including:

1. Read Head First PMP
2. Fast-glance on Informatics’ (i.e. the education institute) notes
3. Complete 50 Head First free online mock questions (~72%)
4. Complete 200 Informatics’ mock exam questions (~82%)
5. Complete PMPFinal 10 free online questions (60%)
6. Complete ~30 Oliver Lehmann questions (I can’t remember my score, but all questions there are way too difficult so never mind )
7. Recap ITTO before taking the exam

Noticed that I don’t even read the PMBOK during preparation, but it is highly recommended that you should go through once at least if you don’t have other similar materials (e.g. course notes). Read the glossary at the end of the book.

I found the real test MUCH more difficult than most of the mock exam I’ve taken. I’ve got ambiguous answers on half of the questions, which most of them I can eliminate to have 2 options left. The situational questions are the toughest, as they required candidates to have full understand on how the processes interact among themselves.

Okay, my suggestions on getting pass the exam:

(1) Good English

That’s what I really think of – good English. During the exam I’ve encountered some English vocabularies which I couldn’t get the meaning of them, and most of the sentences in questions were, in my opinion, “grammatically unfriendly” to non-native candidates. So if you find you are in trouble during studying, for example PMBOK, then you may need to read more related reference books or exercise more on mock questions to adapted to the style of questions you may see in the exam.

(2) Memorize all the 44 processes with correct sequence

This can be your life-saver in answering those questions asking about “the next/first thing you should do” or “the missed procedure”. As memorizing them is not difficult, I highly encourage to have them memorized so that you won’t lose marks here.

(3) Memorize ITTOs

I didn’t intend to do this for my exam either, though I could remember most of them, but I would say it definitely helps.  The tools and techniques are even worth taken a close eyes on. If you can correctly define all (or those of most important) the tools and techniques, you should be able to score a significantly large portion of questions.

(4) Make use of the time of introduction

Before the exam starts, candidates will have 15 mins time to read the introduction on how to use the system. They are trivial to normal computer users so you can ignore it if you can, instead take the time to write down all the formulas on the work sheet provided to you. Therefore you won’t be afraid that you will forget them when taking those math questions.

半年來，自己面對過不少決擇，亦覺得自己各方面都進步了。一直以來性格上的老毛病雖然還未根治，但總算有了起色。

08 – 09 年，工作表現算是過得去。本來決定請辭工作，專心闖屬於自己的事業，但最後又狠不下心來。上司們很欣賞，同事們很擁戴，心入面感激之餘，亦擔心來年能否做得更好。

來年，覺得是自己很重要的一年。希望除了工作上能有突破外，自己也同時能做點什麼。兩邊兼顧真的很累人，但既然已決定了，就當成是再挑戰自己一次吧。

為來年掀開序幕的，應該是這個。我自己很喜歡，希望沒有令曾經等待過的人失望。

My reply is always the same. “Because IE 6 sucks.”. Catering IE 6 lowers web standard. Continue to support IE 6 will require a compromise on user experience and site performance. Therefore being a product leader, dropping off IE 6 support is a reasonable move, but then it’s totally unacceptable from sales/marketing. I believe 37 Signals has made a harsh decision, but yet the best one IMO.

Hope the IE-6-Phase-Out-Day for Goovii* arrives soon.

*Goovii is one of my current in-charge product. It is currently adopted in freeBlog of HKCSL.

Google lives on the Internet. It’s in our interest to make the Internet better and without competition we have stagnation.
