Bits 'n Pieces

The problem we have been solving since Friday has everyone stumped. We even have to seek the help of other units to help isolate the problem. Up until this time, a big question mark is still hovering above us. Others voluntarily threw in their ideas, and yet... a no-no. Have even referred the problem to Bill Gates (hehehe!), have not heard from him yet.

Anyway, to help alleviate the pressure, my handy camera provided relief... like a stress ball.

The Sunday overtime work refrained me within the confines of the office. Since we were were working in our company's other building, I took top view shots of the building's surroundings. Now, I have the daytime and nighttime view of Paseo de Roxas... c",)

Paseo de Roxas from the Top (20Feb2005)

It's already the sixth day of the problem and the light at the end of the tunnel seems too far off. What with the big bosses reminders to keep them updated of the status, I bet you have the idea of the pressure. An officemate jokingly remarked that they would be jumping off the building tomorrow--bungee-style--if the solution has not been found. (Friday is a non-working holiday to commemorate the People Power Revolution.)

Desktop Clutter (23Feb2005)

So, with my "stress ball", took shots of the clutter on my desk.

Starting from the top left, clockwise, we start with the zip drive and multi-media card reader. I use the zip drive to back-up my computer files. Me thinks this archiving media is going the way of the dinosaurs since most photo labs developing digital images do not accept image files stored in zip disks. They even haven't heard of zip disks! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! On top my zip drive is the multi-media card reader. A handy way of sharing immediately the pictures I took, specially when there are celebrations/treats/small gathering in the office.

Next is my black cordless phone, black stapler, black tape dispenser and black organizer. Even the items in the black organizer are black--pencils, cutter, scissors, sharpener, staple remover, ruler.

Then, there's the Sony Ericsson S700i. I always leave it on top of my desk while working so I can easily see if I have received an SMS message or a call. Nice, isn't it? Sleek design. It has built-in camera (still and video), can play MP3, has FM radio, MusicDJ and recorder, store data and images in its external memory, connect via bluetooth and infrared. The back view of the phone makes you think it's a digital camera. (I wonder why I liked the phone... hehehehe!)

The last item is my black radio alarm clock. It's been with me ever since. The big hands and numbers easily reminds me when it's time to go home. (LOL!) The radio is so useful when I want to hear the news (like updates on the bombing incident, tsunami, earthquake, etc.) or simply listen to music while working overtime.

Hmmm... if you have reached this far and have the patience to read my blabber, you must have lots of time in your hands! hehehe!
