The loosing streak

Mungkin minggu ini memang saatnya gw berada di bagian bawah roda kehidupan.

Gw dan teman2 gw sudah mengerjakan sebuah project untuk kurang lebih setahun, memang waktunya lama banget untuk sebuah proyek kecil. Tapi karena kita hanya ngerjain di akhir pekan and no body pay us to do it. Jadinya, begitulah ... :P

Anyway, Amway, Myway, Busway dan akhirnya Waterway..

Beberapa waktu yang lalu telkomsel baru saja mengeluarkan sebuah produk. Dan setelah di konfirmasi, ternyata produknya serupa dengan apa yang gw dan teman-teman kerjain. Sedikit sedih gw, tadinya berpikir bahwa apa yang gw dan teman2 kerjain bisa jadi 'the first' dari aplikasi-aplikasi seperti itu. Tapi ternyata kalau lu terlalu tersantai dan tidak memiliki 'sense of urgency' , someone else will beat you to it, a very important lesson.

Tetapi biar bagaimana, the show will go on. Karena alasan kita mengerjakan proyek itu bukan sekedar untuk jadi yang pertama, dan kita juga masih punya a little trick in our sleeves :D

*Sigh, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day*

Using Castor in XFire

I'm currently exploring, a new web service implementation at the moment. From some other people experience i found XFire. One of XFire main selling point because it uses stAX, a xml stream parser that promise better performance and smaller memory foot print.

After couple of days exploring I've managed to implement the basic web service example, and implement complex object serialization using Aegis (the default binding for XFire). But i found it to be very limited for my need.

So i tried implementing XFire with castor, i've followed the example. But somehow i've stuck trying to expose the service ... :( *arggh*

Bitter - Sweet

Still in the series of finding a new job.

As you know like everything in life there are few sweet times, and there's a whole lot of bitter times. So as i taste this bitter experience in finding a new job, re-experiencing getting summoned and rejected, waiting for indefinite time... ... ah the bitter ones.

And now, I'm wondering. When would my sweet time comes ? Or this next interview will be another bitter experience for me :(

Wish me luck.
