Shadow's Workshop

As i stated yesterday today i had a project management exam. I just got back from it and i'm happy to report that I've passed it, even though my "deliverable" weren't exactly right.

I had to redo the risk management part and draw up a contingency plan. The project i had to do this for has no real risk, if i don't do it it's not the world. So it was very hard to come up with the minimum of 4 risk and the contingency plans for them.

All is well that ends well so...with that I am happy to report another great success

I just finished reading JavaScript: The Good Parts, Douglas Crockford's first book on Javascript.

This book unlike AjaxTCR, which i highly recommend, this book is aimed more at novice javascript programmers. I originally got it because it was written by Douglas Crockford who in the days in which i was just learning the language had a huge impact on me.

I never had a role model before I saw some of his presentations on YUI Theater, but the way he presented the language i was trying so hard to learn, convinced me he could be a good choice if I ever decide to have one.

It took me only two hours to read the whole thing, It's something i would like to call a light reading. Even though Crockford recently has been complaining about the language and this book is just another example of him complaining.

As the title says the book only shows the "good" parts of Javascript at first and then at the end in the Apendixes he covers some of the "bad" parts.

As a conclusion I have to say that the book itself was good and i really enjoyed reading it, but it wasn't as big as AjaxTCR and it didn't manage to convince me, i still thing the language itself isn't as bad as he claims, then again i don't have his experience so i might be wrong.

The night before yesterday i told you that i was going fishing. A day after the event I can safely say that i'm tired. It was fun, I caught some nice fishies, tried to play with a dog all in all a very fun day.

In the begining there was one very eager beaver who at 7:23 woke up thinging he was going to be late for the fishing trip, that of course was me. Since i was up so early i made a few sandwiches.

After a long car ride we finally arrived at the lake and started the search for the perfect spot. Since it was the 1st of May and everybody had the day of the lake was full and finding a spot proved to be quite difficult.

But then we stopped and unapcked, it was then we remembered that we forgot to buy worms...and everybody knows you can't fish without worms...so we started to digg. Luckyly though a dude walked up to us and we bought a whole bunch of worms from him so the problem was solved.

Pretty soon though we realized that the spot we had choosen for fishing wasn't so great after all because the water was shallow and full of muck so we packed everything back up and went off to find another spot.

After quite awhile we found a new spot and pretty soon the fish where just jumping out of the water. We fished all day long and before we even noticed it was getting harder and harder to see the worm to put it on the hook or the "float".

To end this post i have to say that even thought fishing is considered to be the perfect way to relax I always find that it always tires me out and leaves me in a "low battery" state so i'll update the fishing 2008 album and go and sleep.

Have fun people and enjoy the rest of the day.

I'm just watchin' The Apprentice on TV while i'm blogging nice right? I don't know what season it is, but i realy like it non the less. I'm like watching this show because it is the first reality-show that shows something interesting.

I mean it's the first show that actually shows people trying to manage a team, a business, how to accomplish a task and the price people pay for failing to meet a goal. People are hard to manage, some tasks are just hard and complicated but then again some rewards are worth it.

If you can you should watch it, it's worth it.

yes,I did. Ehat did I do?Well the usuall sleep all day long. Yesterday after getting up at 12 I still managed to find the power to sleep from 3 to 7. Quite an achievement right?I guess so, for some people it might even be impossible,but not for me. After sleeping all day i still managed to get into bed at around 2AM and then wake up at 7 feeling all tired and stuff.
Yet another great success right?
