Facebook Musical Wall Application

In less than a week, together with my teammates released a wall-like facebook application for our 2nd assignment.

My Facebook Music Application

The difference? Instead of the usual messages and links, videos & photo attachments, users get to record or create their music by clicking on a virtual 3d piano before sending to their friends.

Hislide Flash Issue Fixed
Hislide popup images usually get covered by flash objects, and the fix to it is to add wmode=”transparent” to the embed tag. Photos taken for my last concert Miniatures can be viewed.

Fotobook Problem Solved
I was running into some problems important facebook albums. I was getting
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 15728640 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in [...] /wp-content/plugins/fotobook/facebook-platform/simpleXML/IsterXmlNode.php on line 234. I fixed this problem by replacing the php4 facebook client library with php5 client. I’ve also added jquery chilli plugin and scripturizer on this blog, but I’ll skip the elaboration.

Actually a challenging part of this was setting up and configurating a Solaris 10 Zone. I thought of trying rails, but with some restrictions I didn’t carry on that idea.

InnoFusion
I’ll be leading a project- a epublishing business, with nextfusion.

Things are getting busy and stressful but I hope I’ll be able to manage.

2008 New Year Updates

well nothing much has change. Things are moving on at a constant (or maybe pretty fast) pace that I do not feel a full reset. I still feel some new year symptoms for example when noticing the heavy congestion on the roads after work- due to fact adults are getting back to work and students back to school.

Modules Bidding. School reopening in 2 weeks time and I’m torn to which path to take. The technicality of the Computer Science stream seems to entice me, but my Diploma in Business Informatics seems to set the path for Information Systems. Anyway I bidded for 5 modules, which seem quite pro-IS :

  • CS1231 - Discrete Structures
  • MA1505 - Mathematics I (aka Horror Maths)
  • CS2261 - Enterprise Systems Development
  • CS2250 - Fundamental of IS
  • CS3216 - Software Development on Evolving Platforms (aka Facebook Module)

Blog maintenances. This blog has been advertisement-free since it started (>2.5 years?). Since there were suggestions of getting a little pocket money due to a steady amount of visitors here, I compared Google Adsense, and some regional advertisers- Adverlets, Nufflets, Nuffnang. Since Google is more reputable, I’m trying it. I customised the ads not to be too obvious, and can be found in a small section/widget in the right sidebar of the page.

You might notice I’ve have been playing with some other widgets in the sidebars. I’ll be adding scripturizer (js version), some interesting stuff (get hints from my next post) and trying to clean up stuff which is not working.

Also, I’m involved with OpsFly (Operation: Financial Literacy for Youths), in the IT team and its site will be at http://opsfly.com Not much content is up for now and work will have to be done.

Next month would be my piano exams, and I’m involved with a concert this month- I ought to spend less time with computers and more time practicing music.

Updates & Thanksgiving

As year 2007 comes to a close, just a quick look back and some updates.

I’m having internship, as mentioned before, and so far its a nice, fun and learning experience. The environment at work, feels more like my final project in poly than my industrial attachment I had.

Who whould imagine going on Facebook is my job?

My 1st year 1st semester results released on boxing day. I must say I’ve been satisfied, that my grades is satisfactory, of a very average CAP, that would be a yardstick for my performance keep me, and hopefully to keep me humble and work harder. Now what is left is to reconsider what path to major on, and to decide the modules for next year.

Psalms 47:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

I’ve coded an integration that laid out my blog posts in 2007 on Timeline using MetaWeblogApi last night, but time is running tight so the post on it might just have to wait to the new year. Both using that and K2’s ajax archive navigation makes it easy to recap what have been done this year.

Although it seemed not much is done in the year, time passes faster than that I feel, one single important event is that I’ve stepped through quickly from my army stage into my study stage.

Back @ Home

I’m finally back after spending most of my nights away from home after exams.

The time spent at Tanjong Puteri camp was very good and time passed quickly. There was recreational time, where I retouched soccer, basketball, table-tennis, squash, and swimming. Food and space was abundant, but more the fellowship I enjoyed, and the opportunity to listen to the many touching testimonies. Messages by Rev Tan and Yong impacted me the most, and the theme on Nehemiah, was clear as if I was brought there with a time machine.

Today would be the start of my internship with ByteSquare which would carry on into my 1st week of my next semester. I’ll be working on MyHomeTone and the FaceBook platform. Hometone is a Call & SMS service which allows international calls (to your handphone) and sms at a cheaper rate.

Activities, experiences on my new job would be written at my separate developer’s blog.
