Counting Down

3 more working days before my 10 days holidays!!

Haven't been blogging over here for quite some times. I was and still is busy with various commitments on job and chess. I had to strive for a balance between these 2 as they both leads to different future...

For the moment, chess is more important but job is taking more of my time. National Championship is only 4 more days away but I am yet to do revision on things...

Anyway, just go to have fun and try not to lose too many games as possible.

Looking forward for the 10 days break too...

Cheers!

Manual Entry or Automation?

Lately, my boss had us involved in a project to produce a process where if successful will be able to replace a few human data entry clerks.

The project is now in the mids of its development life cycle were we are cracking our head to figure out all the possible and necessary scenario for exception handling. Exception handling does not just involve syntax or programming error, but they involved error message return from the destination system, for example, invalid entry or missing compulsory entry...

Besides all the difficulty in the coding, I see bright future for the project! Another part of the project where the engine login to destination system and request data/report was already done and implemented!

Hopefully the pending parts can be done before my approved holidays from 26 May to 4th June so that I can go on holidays without any worries...

May the force be with us!

Eu Hong.
