It has been a while since I ever used virtual box for everything.
While it is time consuming to boot it up, and continue where I left since the previous session.
So, I decided to get a dedicated machine just for that purpose.
Enough of the need to “virtualization” for each instance of development, I thought.

So, I bought a mac book at the end of the process.
Surprisingly, I tend to “remote access to old” desktop for some period of time.
So the screen look like as below :

After that’s starting period, started to look around for guides and tips.
This is the OS version.

It need some packages to be installed first before the real work can be performed. 🙂
The first is xcode.

installing..

Once that’s done. then continue with “homebrew”, which is something like “yum” in centos I think.

yeah, my lovely “terminal” is back into action.

I have been recently introduced to agile method for software development. It consist of 2-week sprint for any task break down. I fall in love with the concept of time is constant, while spec and scope is variable. In short, what can be accomplished by 2-week sprint, and throw everything to fit into that two week time.

Put all effort based on that time limit.

Either to gather information or requirement or development itself.And eventually deliver something by the end of the sprint. After that sprint is completed, we quickly deployed the feature and prepare into getting user to use the newly produced features to see whether or not it is useful or just another not so important feature **really?!**.

If it is indeed not so useful feature after all,despite the hype from client or user at the previous 2-week they were saying they’re desperately need it. We just wasted two week of efforts rather than a full-6months project time to entertain feature that were explicitly requested by user.

If its turn out to be a very useful feature,we might put up another sprint for feature enhancement. But this must be really useful and would be for daily use by the user.
I love this idea because, as software developer,we don’t want to end up writing something that may be huge or amazing, but no one gonna need it.I know it can be frustrating.. 🙂

Furthermore, combined with KANBAN method for resource management.I think it would be benefical for everyone involved. Be it the management or the software developer itself. No more one’s weekend got sacrified for an “important” project so called.
Let’s see how this goes.

Someone told me, it is not what you do in office that will significantly differentiate you and your collegue. 

But it is what you do after the you thumb print out after the office hour that matters.

Just by analyzing how we are spending 2.8 hour a day after works. Whether that was used for entertaining. Or for our own growth.

Be it either personal development or skills or thinking.

We decide how that small daily timeslot is allocated. 

Is not our boss behavior or our superior behavior or our partner behavior that disturb us the most. But it is how our inability to respond wisely to those ‘disturbance’ are most disturbing.

Reaction tend to be promptly without thinking.

While responding is well thought action.

Eventhough the external factor is the same.

Abdul Mutalib telah bernazar
untuk korbankan seorang zuriatnya
Maka jatuhlah ia pada Abdullah
anaknya yang paling indah wajahnya
.
Kebesaran Allah yang menunjuk jalan
ditukarkan dengan dikorbankan unta
Maka selamatlah anaknya Abdullah
disyukuri dengan linangan yang suci
.
Abdullah pemuda kacak dan tampan
dikahwinkan Aminah, puteri rupawan
Maka mengandung ia akan Baginda
yang penuh kemuliaan dan keberkatan
.
Ayahnya Abdullah dipanggil Tuhan
berduka Aminah, anaknya yatim
Rabi’ul Awwal lahirlah bayi yang mulia
yang bersujud pada Allah Yang Esa
.
Amat sempurna indah memancar
cahayanya menyinari seluruh alam
Seluruh makhluk langit dan bumi
mengucap salam atas kewujudannya
.
Abdul Mutalib menatap bayi yang indah
terpilu hati melihat yatim tiada berayah
Dibawa cucunya tawaf di Kaabah
berdoa pada Tuhan sepenuh hati
.
Maka mendengarnya bisikan pada qalbi
namakan Muhammad, dia insan terpuji
Apabila Halimah Sa’adiah memandang Baginda
kasihnya mekar dipangkunya pulang
.
Padahal ketika itu tiada yang mahu menyusunya
kerana Baginda anak yatim yang tiada kekayaan
Barakah rezeki melimpah pada keluarga Halimah
kerana cinta mereka pada Baginda
.
.
Bayi yang barakah dikembalikan pada Aminah
lalu dibawa menziarahi pusara ayahnya Abdullah
Kesedihan menimpa lagi Baginda yang kecil
ibunya Aminah pula meninggal diperjalanan
.
Dipelihara pula datuknya sehingga meninggal
dipelihara pula oleh Abu Talib yang amat miskin
Hidup kecilnya sudah berdikari
itulah susunan Allah Yang Maha Penyayang
.
Mengembala kambing jauh di gunung
tiada pernah merungut akan kesusahan
Kelaparan dan kesunyian adalah kehidupannya
haiwan dan gunung menjadi teman penghiburnya
.
Gelaran Al-Amin diberikan padanya
hidupnya suci tiada berdusta
Dilamar Siti Khadijah sebagai suami
melihat akhlak indah menguruskan dagangannya
.
Digua Hira’ Baginda berkhalwah sayu
Maka didatangi Jibril membawa wahyu
Bacalah Wahai Muhammad dengan nama Tuhanmu
engkaulah penutup segala Nabi dan Rasul
.
Duhai para saudara semua
apakah kalian tiada gembira
Kelahiran Baginda penyelamat insan
dari kegelapan tiada bertuhan
.
Duhai para saudara sekelian
janganlah berpaling dari Nabi mu
Jalannya membawa pada kebahgiaan
jalannya menghancur nafsu dan syaitan
.
Bagindalah nanti yang akan mencarimu
ketika ketakutan di Hari Akhirat
Syafaatnya luas tiada terhingga
para malaikat tak dapat menahannya
Maafkan kami yang lalai selawat padamu
.
sedangkan engkau amat mencintai kami
Maafkanlah kami wahai jiwa yang pemaaf
diri kami yang penuh dosa dan noda
.
Ya Rasulullah, sudilah kiranya sudilah Tuan memandang kami
Ya Rasulullah, sudilah kiranya sudilah Tuan memandang kami
Ya Rasulullah, sudilah kiranya sudilah Tuan memandang kami

There is no experience like having children.
’ That’s all.There is no substitute for it.

You cannot do it with a friend.
You cannot do it with a lover.
If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being,
and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way,
then you should have children.”

• Mitch Albom

We need to continuously upgrade our skill if we want to stay competitive.
Sometime this also mean to enhance all our existing skills or expertise from time to time. If we don’t or cease to adapt, eventually we will be forced to adapt. 🙂

While the option are still open, I better off make a choice and deal with it.
Just don’t wait till you reach at the point where all those options are gone.
Looking at the wisdom behind the quote of “Power of NOW”.

I think the concept is simple.

Each of us have our own gift and passion.

We can work happily with each other and collaborate if we found our purpose.

Somehow it can be contradict with our learning experience earlier.
we may have aim to excel in every single subject in order to get the good result.
In life, that’s not exactly true for all situation.

Sometimes, once we specialized in one field, our chance for success is greater even though we may be slightly lacking in ALL other fields.
Our chance may be different if we tried to excel in ALL fields with our limited resource of time, attention, energy and support.

Let’s say we have 360 point of efforts to spent, if we tried to excel in everything, it is like distributing that force into 360.. which may result 1point in every direction.

Compared this to the following, if we just decide to select ONE single direction and put ALL that 360 point of efforts that we can spend into that direction.. and just do that..
if that’s at 100% efficiency ~ if we can achieve 360 point in that selected direction, and for any other direction might not grow so much.

contributing the best of us to others…
eventually it will affects a lot of people.

and I think, success is more likely inevitable with that path.
