Sounds of sleep

I woke up at 5am today. Guess army life is getting into me. Like clockwork, at 2230hours, I start feeling sleepy. I didn’t even have the energy to use the computer until today.

Yawns.. Never felt so tired even when I slept at 12.30am and woke up at 6am during my secondary and Junior College school days.

Well, it is definitely a nice break from the usual routine orders. Finally finished reading a book titled: “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. Not a bad read. Had it finished in a day…. Going to get the sequels. Now its on to “for one more day” by Mitch Albom…

I wonder if I can break free from the computer. Even in the army, I land up with a design project. More specifically, its a poster design project. I haven’t had the strength to think about it. Frankly, graphics design hasn’t always been my strength. My strength lies more in CSS, XML and its derivatives (which includes XHTML etc.).

Spam emails are getting on my nerves. Not that it never did. Just two weeks and my Windows Live Mail (aka. Hotmail) has 500+ messages, my Gmail has about 20+. I haven’t checked yahoo yet. Sheesh..

I should rest my eyes again. Turning red with tiredness again….

Till the next post. Its ciao!

Project complete

Finally. I’ve completed the my final web project just in time before I book myself into military life for the next 2 years. Welcoming it with mixed feelings.

Anyway, reflecting on the website, I can say that I am happy with the result. It wasn’t easy, seeing that I worked as a one-man team, designing all aspects of the site from the presentation layer to the business logic layer, the data access layer to even the server software layer. Server software layer included the set up of the server, installation of server programs as well as managing the ip addresses, domain names, routing and stuff. It was actually out of my ability. Had to research and learn while on the job. Loss quite a lot of hair (I didn’t really bother about that though… Going to have to cut my hair very short before I enter army also) ….

Thankfully there was some reprise among all these in the form of an existing CMS system.

Yay! Can go in without much worries about this project already!

EDIT: Looks like I got myself another web project again even before I enter army.
