Maybe I can open up my room to bring people in here. While we are playing for the night, I can still show them what I am working on. That’s the reason why I have this big room. To fill it with people.
Never be afraid to ask for help, especially to those in church and academia. This project is worth by its attempt, process, not by its end result only. This will be a good story we can tell to anyone who is interested in hiring us. Challenging ourselves with the limited resouces, time, personnel, and yet proving that this project can be done, it will be a good story people will want to follow and imitate. The project done not by the professionals, but by a group of volunteers. Our working will surely be rewarded. Please help us.

Strangely, I just can’t stop dreaming about building a successful website that does contribute and becomes a great Rightful property for so many people. Without not knowing the specific tools to be used, and attained the level of mastery for professional development, I just can’t shake it off. Yet, I know the requirements, the labor and dedication sacrificing some of my comforts. I fear how I will disappoint myself by not achieving the goal, and being regretful for what I had sacrificed. And the anticipatory challenges toward me, attacking my soul, body, and my people. I just don’t have enough courage to respond; react to this call. Please let me do what You want me to do. Whatever it is, build it to be servile, bringing joy to Your people.

Due to the required orientation, I had to miss the class. It wasn’t too much loss, but simply missing a class for not so important reason is not good. The orientation even let me leave only after an hour session. What a waste.
Having no lecturer’s presence during the class does affect the efficiency of following the lecture. Without my effort to record the lecture, it will be so easy to be lost and fail to understand. However, preparing for the class by reading it beforehand is very important no matter what.
Gladly, the Algorithm class provided very useful links for the classes, Notes and Audio/Video lecture will be very useful. This is one reason I may need to have Video iPod or iPod Touch.

Maybe I’m forcing myself to think about the project to be too big and ambitious. Probably, I can even attempt is simply making similarly operating website with new design, or interface. Daring to make something great would lead me to be frustrated since there may not be adequate acknowledgement or support, unless I announce it publicly. But most of all, it’s due to my lack of creatively striking idea that will definitely entertain people. Must think simply and in user’s point of view. Never be too proud to do something for contribution. Don’t tempt myself to do something great and expect or command respect from those I should serve.

However, examining the way I use my time like this weekend, I just need more motivation or incentive. Being focused to do something valuable is such a great gift.

Must find a way to study more effectively, productively. Can’t waster too much for nothing important, excusing myself for being able to concentrate on my study. No more excuses.

Reminder:
Programming – Read Chapter 2, 3 and write paragraphs of summaries.
Software – Still didn’t get an assignment. Just re-read Chapter 1, 2, 3 using slides.
Algorithm – Must read Chapter 1, 2, 3. Listen to the recorded lecture.
TechWriting – Prepare the materials. Carefully read the textbook.

Read the chapters of Programming Language, Introduction of Algorithm, and Software Engineering. At least one chapter for each book. Never procrastinate if it’s not possible to study ahead of the schedule at least.

- Summary -
Programming Chapter 2: It seems to me the development, emergence of new languages were due to their attempt to solve the programming problems like dynamic addressing, writability, or environmental limits.
Early evolution was to maximize the optimal use of the machine capabilities without taking too much time for writing the software. Using the early computing machine more like a today’s calculator, mathematical requirements were the main issues to be solved. Though the machine was much better than human in calculation, writing the proper codes to do the work were inefficient, causing errors or consuming too much time.
Next development was initiated by the interest to the field outside of numerical analysis. Psychology, Linguistics, and other interest groups wanted to use computing capabilities. Therefore, new method for solving problems had to be invented as languages….

Reading Textbook is just consuming so much time…

It’s really difficult to do as I planned. Maybe it means I should be relaxed and flexible, or it means I must dedicate all my free time for my goal, instead of wasting for nothing important.

1. Find the hosting service: I consider EasyCGI to be the best for it’s capability for support both ASP.NET and PHP

2. Register the Domain name: http://www.stillwaterkbc******.org/ Can’t think of anything really good.

3. Open source: Respect the spirit of collaboration. Since I will heavily borrow many solutions from other developers, it’s my duty to properly keep good reference to their sincere work.

4. Multi-lingual: This is for anyone coming to the website from anywhere. Thus, additional to Korean contents, it will be required to have the identical or at least the similar contents in English. Currently, there is no prospect for supporting other languages due to my inability.

5. Altruistic Intention: Though this site will be developed only by myself, it will not be owned by me. Rather, I will strongly encourage people to particapate in tinkering and reforming. As this project will support my preparation for real professional career development, I hope it will motivate other students and job seekers likewise. By not taking my ownership, this site will be owned by everyone and have much longer life.

After many speculations, fxceed.com has decided to pause maintaining its site for a while. And will start developing an additional, and eventually the substitution website for the Korean Church in Stillwater. Initially, this development will focus on expanding its accessibility to non-Korean speaking church members and future users, whether they are attending church or not. One great aspect of Internet is its unlimited openness to anyone from anywhere.

First thing, is that fxceed.com is not skilled enough to handle this project specification: AJAX, ASP.NET, File Uploading, Applying other professional site types, Security, etc. This is the first project to be considered real professional task.

From this day on, this blog will keep the development journal. Starting from what I cumulatively learn for mastering new techniques, and to actually developing the website for real use.

Good luck, to myself.

Decided to drop Business Statistics and re-add Technical Writing.
Glad I did make quick decision without much trouble.
Went to see the instructor about the assignments for TechWriting.

Updated my Calendar with color variation for SCHOOL and Church categories.

Slept after dinner. Must make some determined activity to get myself motivated to be productive.

Learned about the H1-B Visa Sponsorship requirements. Need more informations

1. Find Job Descriptions, that I can apply for current skill level. Better to organize resume first.
2. Send another email to my father, informing him: Bank Information, Due Date, and time to contact me via Skype(early morning around 6:00AM to 8:00AM)
3. Catch up reading as early as possible.
