The image above is a screen shot of keywords from my Nuffnangs. It shows me the keyword that people google to reach my blog here.

OMG! Someone was googling my real name!

LOL. I think I can point it out. Someone from MMU was googling me to know who I am. I am supposed to give a talk on a seminar entitled “Introduction to ZendCore“. For your information – ZendCore is a company who has been bought by IBM because of the capability of its software to integrate DB2 with PHP.

Ehe.. sorry.. not a lengchai maa!!

More or less, its actually a PHP library and a web server package. Only that it completes with the framework needed to work with DB2 database.

Come to my shock, the Academic Initiative in MMU is really active due to its IT Society. Wow! I am greatly impressed. MMU successes in uniting its IT students into one community!

Now I wonder why UTP don’t have that. Can the UTP FOSS team work to unite the students? A challenge for you, Yondie and Kage!

Knowing UTP in and out giving me a sad feeling – people there seems not to acknowledge the power of knowledge (hmm.. that rhymes). I salute the efforts taken by Kage to write an open letter to the Rector, yet – no actions were taken. Nothing happened.

Such an ignorance. UTP has been too much in a comfort zone that the students being pampered too much on academic achievement that it creates a dull Jack and Jane. And even my efforts of bringing Academic Initiative to UTP is hard. I wrote emailold;">s with no response.

Emails to the lecturers and yet the lecturers keep thinking about how to achieve their KPI! Ignoring my emails!! Is PETRONAS doesn’t have something called “Value Add” ?? (This was a confession by the mere lecturers. Really. “Push it to the Programme Head, Sallehin. Else, the lecturers won’t do anything because its not in their KPI“

No offense to the worker of PETRONAS, anyway..

For now, I am still trying my best to reach them to get involved in IBM Academic Initiative. It just pathetic to see their students going to internship but not equipped with enough knowledge or skills. Sometimes, not even the right attitude too!

You think you can survive by being spoonfed ka?

*sigh*

Enough with the rantings. Wish me luck in these two things:

Presenting in MMU this coming Thursday
Bringing IBM Academic Initiative in UTP

P/s: Yondie, want to try IBM DB2 Express-C replacing your MySQL? Try installing it in Ubuntu or Fedora. Let me know your feedback. It’s free, so it’s still FOSS (okay, its FS. Not really OS in the middle )
