The person who inspired me is dead. James Oliver Rigney, Jr. (Robert Jordan) left us on September 16, 2007 and I've not been writing since. The Dragon is gone, but life has to go on I suppose. Oh well. To Robert Jordan, "May you shelter in the palm of the Creator's hand, and may the last embrace of the mother welcome you home." Now, let's get back to business. For the past few months, we, at Covalent Technology, have been struggling to meet deadlines and looking for new contracts: PetroProjek - Enterprise Business Solution (EBS) This marks our first entry into oil & gas industry. Originally, we played around with Compiere, ADempiere & OpenBravo and decided to customize one these open-source ERP solutions to meet PetroProjek's requirements. However, after 2 months, we realized that they are full of bugs and unreliable, and since we're no Java experts, we've decided to abandon all of them. We don't want to take any risk and run into trouble later in the ...

We’ve been working around the clock tweaking and replacing components in Covalentia to make it run on Mono and Fedora Core 4. So far, we’ve managed to deploy it using Xsp2 but fail to do so using Mod Mono Apache 2.2 (see figure below – the “localhost” is clearly highlighted to show that we’re not bluffing). The mod_mono_server2.exe doesn’t seem to execute correctly and it fails to even run the simple ASP.NET 2.0 samples. The deadline is September 1, 2007, and we shall release it by then .865 days ago
Yes, that’s right, we’re hiring. We’re looking for junior programmers or fresh graduates and business development/marketing executives to help us enhance Covalentia, service our existing clients and develop new products using Covalentia. But, before I go into the details, let me just inform you how happy I am to finally receive a check from the Government of Malaysia via Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). I’d like to thank the people there who’d worked towards the disbursement of this fund even without the official signing and stamping of the grant agreement, especially, Mr. Mohd Yusree Yusof. Now, I just can’t wait to go to the VW showroom to pay for the down-payment of a new Passat. I’m just kidding . So, I need the followings ASAP: C# Web Developer – Junior Programmer / Fresh Graduate Requirements Knowledge in object-oriented programming, C#, ASP.Net, Javascript, AJAX, any database Knowledge in Mono is an advantage No ...883 days ago
Business is as usual. Covalent Technology is back on track, and soon I should be able to see positive numbers on my spread sheets. I don't wanna sound optimistic because I am not (I am known to be very pessimistic, negative and evil), but I believe I may be able to turn this company around as planned. I've pretty much completed the 1st phase of my job here at MOCCIS Trading Sdn Bhd, and payment is so far very good. I'm working on my 2nd phase at the moment which is to revamp their current Loan Management System using Covalentia. It's going to be a pain in the ass, but a valuable pain in the ass, for it marks my first entry into the financial industry. Well, sort of. I'm supposed to release Covalentia Version 2.4. I am already using it to develop three applications. On the contrary, it's probably better not to release it until I find and fix all the bugs. For your information, Covalentia Version 2.3 is quite buggy, and I don't recommend you to download it (say what?). It's a ...
