On my first FWA winning project, I was pretty much cluelez as to what is the FWA. I did not know about thefwa.com, and a friend of mine was actually the one who told me that the project I worked on was in it. I did not realize that it is actually super awesome to be able to get into thefwa.com.
This time around I am beyond stoked that the project I worked on while asleep and awake, have also been selected for the FWA award.
Feel very fortunate to be surrounded by some bad ass people.
Exactly one year ago from today, I moved to Miami to take on a new job. I did not know what to expect at that time. Today, I look back and realize that I have met some crazy people who write code when they are awake and think about code in their dreams.
One guy called Larry, who worked on the same project with me, got so fed up with PNG not showing up properly in IE that he created the PngPong script. It is very easy to use and you definitely should check it out.
Another guy called Aaron. He is obsessed with Remoting that he decided to write RubyAMF. It is also very easy to use and you definitely should check it out.
What a place. Full of obsessed people! Weirdo too. (Shaking my head)
I promised my friend Stan, at Semapedia.org to do an English - Bahasa Indonesia translation of the site a couple of weeks ago (we utilize this software called poEdit). I finally got it done today. Why it took me a while is partly because I was really hectic. However, I think the biggest reason is that doing translation is not as easy as I initially imagined. There are words that you can’t just do a direct translation because it does not make sense, legal terms that sounds like German to me, and stuff like that. Well, I am glad I finally got it done, because I would feel really bad otherwise.
Check out the Bahasa Indonesia version of Semapedia.org. Yes if there happens to be people who understand Bahasa Indonesia and found a mistake in my translation, do let me know.
Oh yes, if you are left wondering what Semapedia is, it is a pretty cool tool utilizing the ‘QR Codes’ technology, and Wikipedia to tag the real physical world. Then if you happen to see any of this tags, you can use your cellphone to read it. (obviously you need the reader software installed to your cellphone first)
