I never say much about my work in my blog,
let take this chance to talk, I am a Software Developer, or so call programmer, in a software house in singapore.

What is software house? basically software house is the company that propose & build I.T solution for others, just like your company may need a system to control all the stock movement, who/when/why took the stock, who/when the new stock delivered to your warehouse, that is where we come in and propose something to you, if you are satisfied with the proposal, then we got the deal, and start to work on it.
you may see this WIKI for software house,

What is Developer do? A developer will start to build the system base on the requirement from customer, a small company usually will be one-man-show from gather requirement, design the system, build the system and deploy it.
Those big software house will engage different people for these tasks, like Project Manager is to coordinate with customer, setup project schedule, and etc, solution architec will gather requirement from customer and design the application architecture, System Analyst will do detail design of each funtion in the system, the software developer will build the application base on the design.

I descript all this in very simple manner to make those non-IT related readers easier to understand.If you are from IT, you will definitely know more than this.

Basically i am quite like the feeling while i am doing coding, maybe for you this is very horible that we got to type few hundred or even thousand lines of code in a day, test, finetune, and etc, but i really enjoy it and sometime i am very high during coding.

I suddenly recall this show "Sword Fish" this afternoon, while i am very high during my coding with some rock music. You maybe can understand my feeling when i am coding, by watch this scene




Of course, this is a movie, and it is extremely exaggerated. The movie chew the scenery untill some people feel very boring & stupid. basically,
1. We working on plain text, all working layout is absolutely text based, we do not have the cube or any graphical interface just like the movie.
2. I will say something to myself, scold myself or even walk here and there when i am thinking.
3. Sometime  i also point my middle finger to my computer....
4. i listening to rock music while coding, So that i am in my own world.
5. finally, Yeah!~~ i will high on the coding process.

:P

September 10, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Skype Ltd. warned its users today that a worm targeting Windows PCs is spreading through the service's instant messenger, making the Voice over IP (VoIP)'s chat software the latest to come under the hacker gun.

Dubbed Ramex.a by Skype spokesman Villu Arak -- but pegged Pykspa.d by Symantec Corp. -- the worm takes a typical instant messenger (IM) line of attack: After hijacking contacts from an infected machine's Skype software, it sends messages to those people that include a live link. Recipients who blithely click on the URL -- which poses as a JPG image but is actually a download to a file with the .scr extension -- wind up infected.

"The chat message, of which there are several versions, is cleverly written and may appear to be a legitimate chat message, which may fool some users into clicking on the link," said Arak in an alert on the Skype site.

Arak also listed instructions for removing the worm from infected PCs, but they included changes to the Windows registry, a chore most users are hesitant to try.

Ramex.a/Pykspa.d injects code into the Explorer.exe process to force it to run the actual malware -- a file named wndrivsd32.exe -- periodically, wrote an infected user on a Skype message forum today. The worm also plugs in bogus entries in the Windows hosts file so that installed security software won't be able to retrieve updates.

It may also modify the list of programs allowed to call up Skype, according to a moderator on Skype's Windows support forum. "You may additionally need to check your approved programs that work with Skype," said the user identified as TheUberOverlord. "If you see something that looks strange REMOVE it," he added. The list of approved programs can be found under Tools/Options/Privacy/Related Tasks in Skype 3.0.

As of early today, detailed information from anti-virus vendors was scanty.

Symantec, for instance, while listing Pykspa.d as a new threat, said in its write-up only that it is investigating. Several security companies, however, including Symantec, F-Secure Corp. and Kaspersky Lab Inc., have already updated their signature definitions to detect and delete the new malware.

Skype is only the latest IM client to feel the heat from hackers. Both Yahoo Messenger and Microsoft Corp.'s MSN/Live Messenger have been struck this summer. Exploit code designed to hijack Windows PCs running Yahoo Messenger appeared as early as June, and Yahoo has been forced to patch the IM client several times since. Microsoft, meanwhile, has scheduled fixes for its MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger software for tomorrow, presumably to quash a webcam bug that was disclosed late last month.

Do you know what is the icon means?

I think most of the people will say..this is RSS, then the following question is..what is rss?

It is really fun that when i have new things to learn...i believe for those people that never come to this will never know how powerful is RSS.

Basically RSS is An XML format for sharing content among different Web sites such as news item or blog entry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A RSS document can called as "feed", "web feed", or "channel".

The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:

• Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
• RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
• Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a lot of free RSS reader out there, such as
1. Google RSS Reader
2. some off line tools also available here
3. PDA version
4. OMG there is even JAVA version for most of mobile phone.

So guess what?
Now i can view the news, my favorites blogs and most of my lovely forum(if they support) from my PDA. what i need to do is click UPDATE button when i am connected to internet. after that i can have my own time to read it.

I really learning more things after i setup my blogs....
