Any Javascript Intellisense Editors?

Expert bemara57 asked the below question and I answered it.

Question

I'm using the AJAX prototype framework and there are a lot of options on there. Great stuff. But I was wondering if there are any free Javascript editor that can intellisense the options I can do- much like Visual Studio with other languages. It really helps speed up the coding. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Lousy Employee Portal

Come to think of it, the company I worked for has a very poorly done employee portal. The portal is supposed to make things simple and convenient for all. It provides one stop service like submitting claims for reimbursements, applying of leaves, keeping in touch with latest happenings, etc.

The company I work for is a multi-million or even billion dollar company but the portal it has is easily being beaten by any SMEs'.

Firstly, the portal has a landing page that carters only for 1024 by 768 resolution monitor. If you have a smaller or larger resolution, the wallpaper is either over-stretched or repeats itself. Thumbs down!

Secondly, the portal is designed and WILL only work for IE 6.0 or below. If you are using ANY version of Firefox, it ain't going to work. IE 7.0 is also not supported. The use of firefox or IE 7.0 will just put yourself into risk of encountering countless annoying JavaScript errors. Display is also not readable at all for these browsers. Thumbs down again!

Thirdly, the interface with SAP is extremely slow! The system just underwent recent change and I thought it will support IE 7 and Firefox but they disappointed me. Not only it remains compatible to only IE 6.0, it seems to work more worse on other browsers after the upgrade. Loading and connection to servers has never been so slow before. Thumbs down!

On top of that, employees are told to print out e-claims or e-Leave for submission. I thought the aim of doing E-claims / E-leave is to save the trees and remove the need of having to stack up piles of paper? Why make E-xxx but then make us print hardcopy? Printing using the portal is never an easy task. There is no print function to make printing friendly. What I did is do some tricks to force frames onto new window and making sure session get carried over to the new window. It's hard to explain the exact steps I undertook to just print a single claim but just know it's really unfriendly if not UNUSABLE!

I never like to login to the portal.

Aspects of Life on the World's Greatest Investor - Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett, the second richest man, or perhaps the greatest investor of all times, has got some interesting aspect of his life to share. For your information, Buffett had donated US$31 billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Buffett started giving away 85% of his wealth in July 2006 - most of it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I respect Mr Warren Buffett.

Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago.
4. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
5. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
6. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
7. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
8. He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
9. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some popcorn and watch television.
10. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
11. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
12. His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself.

Highest Bridge in Singapore - The Southern Ridges

The Southern Ridges are a 9-km chain of hills stretching from Mount Faber Park through Telok Blangah Hill Park to Kent Ridge Park. It stands at 37 metres above ground. One distinctive feature is that it has been built at an incline. This new bridge is mostly completed and will be opened to pedestrian access only in February next year.

This bridge is still without a name. To vote for a suggest a name for this new bridge, visit the URA website at http://www.ura.gov.sg/sr_bridges/index-home.htm.

MediaCorp's Only Award at Asian TV Awards 2007

MediaCorp was named the Terrestrial Broadcaster of the Year at the 12th Asian Television Awards held at the Suntec Convention Centre late Thursday night.

This time round, MediaCorp bagged only one award as compared to more than one in previous occasions. Is this a signal that individuals are not performing as well as before? I bet the expectations of many Singaporeans are high since MediaCorp scored 15 nominations in 10 categories.

What are SIVs

SIVs (Structured Investment Vehicles) are typically offshore companies created by banks and other firms to sell short-term debt to buy mortgage securities and finance company bonds with higher yields. They profit on the spread between the two. Unlike securitisation vehicles, SIVs sit off the balance sheets.

SIVs finance themselves by selling asset-backed commercial paper, or short-term loans backed by collateral such as mortgages. When the subprime debt market blew up in August, investors stopped buying SIV commercial paper. As a result, in September and October, some SIVs didn't have the cash to pay debt holders thus resulting in many losses.

Yesterday, HSBC decided to put US$45 billion of SIVs onto its balance sheet to end uncertainty as a result of the credit squeeze. Will the other banks like Citigroup, etc, follow suit?

Currently, files for Google are now kept rather in a "disjointed" fashion. Read on my earlier post "The Disjointed GDrive (or Where Do I Upload My Files?)" for more information.

Actually, there's a third party add-on named "GMail Drive" which allows a user to access a virtual drive stored in a Gmail e-mail account by causing the contents of the Gmail account to appear as a new network share on the user's workstation. This extension is free and is not supported by Google.

Interesting Quote

Q: What fun is the money if you never get a chance to spend it?
A: Ask your wife.

Black Friday

What is Black Friday? Coincidentally, the financial markets of today is in a mess, with most of the global markets in bearish mood. Last Friday marks the Black Friday and Dow Jones coincidentally jumped more than 200 points after many days of fall.

Lifted from Wikipedia:

"Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Since Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday may be as early as the 23rd and as late as the 29th of November. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employers give the day off. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks beforehand. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 am) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. Although Black Friday, as the first shopping day after Thanksgiving, has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the term "Black Friday" has been traced back only to the 1970s. "Black Friday" was originally so named because of the heavy traffic on that day (see below), although most contemporary uses of the term refer instead to it as the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit)."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)

Privacy fears over Facebook feature

Facebook's feature of automatically alerting a user's online network of friends to things bought on other websites, can reveal highly personal information. This has angered its users by publicising details of their shopping habits without their permission. This will mean Christmas gifts meant for surprises will no longer be surprises.

Einstein's Intelligence Quiz

I took 15 minutes to find a solution to the below problem. I suggest you to dedicate at least 30 minutes just to find a solution. Try not to be distracted.

Einstein's Intelligence Quiz
http://www.business.uiuc.edu/broker/iq.htm

Einstein wrote this quiz last century. He said that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz.

• There are 5 houses in 5 different colors
• In each house lives a person with a different nationality
• These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet
• No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

Here's the question: Who owns the fish?

1. The Brit lives in a red house
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets
3. The Dane drinks tea
4. The green house is on the left of the white house
5. The green house owner drinks coffee
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
8. The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house
10. The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats
11. The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer
13. The German smokes Prince
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water

With these 15 clues the problem is solvable.

牵了手就不要随便分手

I came across below article in Chinese which I thought worth a mention here.

爱的感觉总是在一开始觉得很甜蜜。总觉得多一个人陪，多一个人帮你分担，你终于不再孤单了。至少有一个人想着你，恋着你，不论做什么事情，只要能在一起，就是好的。但是慢慢的，随着彼此的认识越深，你开始发现了对方的缺点，问题就会一个接着一个发生。然后你就开始觉得烦，累，甚至想要逃避。

有人说爱情就像捡石头。总想捡到一个适合自己的。但是你又如何知道什么时候能够捡到呢？他适合你，那你又适合他吗？其实，爱情就像磨石子一样。或许刚捡到的时候，你不是那么满意。但是记住人是有弹性的。只要你有心，有勇气。很多事情是可以改变的。与其到处去捡未知的石头。还不如好好的将自己已经拥有的石头磨亮。不是吗？

很多人以为是因为爱情淡了，所以人才会变得懒惰，其实是因为人先被懒惰征服，所以感情才会变淡。难怪越来越多人只想要谈一辈子的恋爱，却迟迟不肯走入婚姻。因为婚姻容易让人变得懒惰。如果每个人都懒得讲话，懒得倾听，懒得制造惊喜，懒得温柔体贴。那么夫妻或是情人之间，又怎么会不渐行渐远渐无声呢？所以请记住：有活力的爱情，是需要适度般勤灌溉的。谈恋爱，更是不可以偷懒的！

其实爱，恨往往只是在我们的一念之间。爱不仅要懂得宽容更要及时。很多事情可能只是在于你心境的转变罢了。当有个人爱上你，而你也觉得他不错。并不代表你会选择他。我们总是说：“我要找一个自己很爱很爱的人，才谈恋爱。”但是当对方问你，怎么才算很爱很爱的时候，你却无法回答他。因为你自己也不知道。我们总是以为，我们会找到一个我们自己很爱很爱的人。可是后来，当我们猛然回首，我们才会发现自己曾经多么天真。假如从来没有开始，你怎么知道自己会不会很爱很爱那个人呢？其实，很爱很爱的感觉，是要在一起经历了许多事情之后才会发现的。或许每个人都希望能够找到自己心目中百分之百的伴侣。但是你有没有想过，在你身边会不会早已经有人默默对你付出很久了。只是你没发觉而已。

当你爱上一个人的时候，爱到八分绝对刚刚好。所有的期待和希望都只有七八分。剩下两三分用来爱自己。如果你还继续爱的更多，很可能会给对方沉重的压力。让彼此喘不过气来。完全丧失了爱情的乐趣。所以，喝酒不要超过六份醉。吃饭不要超过七分饱。爱一个人不要超过八分。

如果你也正在为爱迷惑，或许以下这段话可以给你一些启示：爱一个人，要了解，也要开解。要道歉，也要道谢。要认错，也要改错。要体贴，也要体谅。要接受，而不是忍受。要宽容，而不是纵容。要支持，而不是支配。要慰问，而不是质问。要倾诉，而不是控诉。是难忘，而不是遗忘。

愿我所有的朋友们，都能勇敢面对爱情。都能懂得如何去爱。要记得抓紧爱情，而不是抓伤彼此感情。不要忘了真爱难寻。要好好珍惜彼此。愿大家都能得到幸福。

Quote of the Day from Business Times

Below is extracted from Stocks open higher

'Potential good news is that we do have the preconditions in place for the classic year-end rally. While we still look for the market to go higher into year-end, our confidence has weakened a bit and the market needs to improve soon in this traditionally strong seasonal period. If not, we will go to a more cautious stance.'

New MSN Messenger Trojan Spreading Quickly

eWEEK has reported a new trojan which is using the Windows Live/MSN Messenger platform to grow a botnet by hundreds of infected PCs per hour, adding VMs to the mix as well.

The Trojan is an IRC bot sends itself in a compressed zip file with two names. One of the names includes the word "pics" as a double extension executable—a name generally used by scanners and digital cameras: for example, DSC00432.jpg.exe. The Trojan is also contained in a .zip file with the name "images" as a .pif executable—for example, IMG34814.pif.

Goldman sees subprime cutting $2 trillion in lending

The slump in global credit markets will force banks, brokerages and hedge funds to cut lending by $2 trillion, triggering the risk of a “substantial recession” in the U.S., according to Goldman Sachs. Losses related to record U.S. home foreclosures using a “back-of-the-envelope” calculation may be as high as $400 billion for financial companies, Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman in New York wrote in a report. The effects may be amplified tenfold as companies that borrowed to finance their investments scale back lending, the report said.

Is Global Market Going to Fall in 4th Quarter

As compiled by the Bloomberg, the US S&P 500 rose in the fourth quarter 58 of 79 times since 1928. History has shown that usually it's best to pick up stocks in the 4th quarter because they come in cheap and 4th quarter usually marks the start of a bull run. However, it seems this year's 4th quarter is an exception.

For years since the Internet bubble burst, technology and utilities stocks in the US have been performing very well till now. Their performance have prevented the US stock market from collapsing and are now trading near their most expensive valuations. However, the recent slight fall of these stocks are sending us warnings that the bull run could be over soon.

The last time the market was so dependent on technology and utilities stocks are in year 2000 (around the Internet bubble burst period). That's when the US S&P 500 index plunges 49 percent over 2.5 years! It seems that we are to be extra careful.

I hope brokers and analysts can update clients more often on the market trends and advise on the necessary actions to undertake before investors' hard-earned cash are lost overnight.

Standard Chartered's e$aver Accounts Interest Rates Drop Again

Standard Chartered's e$aver Accounts interest rates is to drop again for the 3rd time since its launch.

On the first day of its launch, interest rate for deposit balance below $50K was at 1.88% before falling to 1.50%. In the latest announcement, interest rate for deposit balance below $50K will be further reduced to 1.20% p.a.

FYI, Standard Chartered's e$aver Savings Accounts still remain one of the best saving plans in Singapore.

There's actually another savings account in Singapore that offers a higher interest rate - MayBank's iSAVvy Savings Account. Since its launch, interest rate for deposit above $5K to below $50K was at 2.38%. This interest rate was reduced to 2.08% before reducing further to the current 1.68%. I forsee it to fall again soon but should stay above Standard Chartered's e$aver.

2 Times Lucky

I have been 2 times lucky on the stock market.

On 28th August 2007, I bought "iShares MSCI India ETF" shares at the price of US$6.65 per share. On 16 October 2007, I sold off all the shares at the price of US$9.05 (intra-day high) per share just before India's market took a downturn the very next trading day all the way down to US$8.15 on 22 October 2007. Today, after 14 days I sold off the shares, the closing price is now US$9.35 (down -3.6%). Even though the current price is higher than my sold price, it doesn't matter.

On 8th October 2007, I bought "China Hongxing Sports Limited" shares at the price of S$1.16 per share. On 29 October 2007, I sold off all the shares at the price of S$1.42 (close price) per share for profit taking. Today, just 1 day I sold off the shares, the closing price has dropped to S$1.32 (down -7%). This stock is going downturn.

ERP Rates Up Again

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates are going up again for the third time this year.

The goverment claimed that the introduction of the many previous ERP charges were to keep traffic congestion on expressways (particularly the CTE) in check. Despite many unhappiness and grievances by the public, the Singapore goverment still carry on with the move. After 3 ERP hikes in just 1 year and many additional ERP gantries installed, traffic on CTE never once see improvement.

This time round, yet another round of ERP hike will be introduced plus extra ERP gantries to be installed again. This latest hike comes just days after the opening of the new Kallang-Payar Lebar Expressway (KPE) Tunnel. I believe this new KPE will in some way ease CTE's traffic conditions and I see this round of ERP hike unnecessary! Is the hike meant to finance the construction of the new expensive KPE? Since the reason for ERP hike (as acclaimed by the Singapore goverment) is to control traffic, then does this mean ERP charges will be reduced if CTE's traffic is improved? I really doubt so! Everything goes up will never come down.

MayBank Has Replied

MayBank has replied to my earlier complaint email with an acceptable explanation. According to the one who replied, she said I am one of the privileged customers picked for the special promotion. So the officer whom I talked to a day ago was ignorant of it. I suggested to MayBank to keep remarks somewhere for individual customers so different customer officers will have an idea of what has happened previously.

My suggestion is noted.

Maybank Statement Mismatch

I applied for Maybank Subaru Platinum MasterCard more than a month ago after someone from Maybank called me up to offer me the card. From the Maybank's customer service officer, I will be presented a $30 worth of cash credited into my card account within 2-3 weeks after my very first transaction. The transaction can be of any amount. I was enticed by this offer and thus applied for the card.

Few weeks ago, I made my first transaction using the newly applied Maybank credit card. Few days ago, credit card bill for Maybank was mailed to me but I saw no $30 cash credited to my account.

This morning, I made a call to Maybank's customer service and was told that the privilege is only applicable for customers who have also applied for an additional Maybank product like their credit line, housing loan, etc. I resigned to my fate for having being cheated by the sales people more than a month ago. Back home this evening, I received a sealed letter from Maybank congratulating me that I will be getting my $30 worth of cash which will be credited to my credit card account. I still managed to get the privilege after all.

Questions to Maybank - Is there a miscommunication somewhere among the customer service officers? Why aren't all customer service officers trained and have equal knowlege of Maybank's products? This is even more shocking considered the fact that the officer who attended to me this morning actually spent almost 1 hour to double confirm her findings before reverting back to me through phone again.

This is very disappointing. I am sending this post to Maybank.

3 Days of Demo

From Wed (3 Oct) to Fri (5 Oct), I had my Software Acceptance Test (SWAT). It involved people from various goverment agencies to evaluate the system my project team had developed. This is not the final version but it still took us 3 days to complete the test.

First 2 days were my show. I had to go through all the individual test cases.

The first day was reserved to showing all the functionalities that were agreed upon on many previous user requirements sessions. Lucky there were no major problems except some minor MMI changes. There was this particular evaluator from XXXX agency who kept asking questions that did not add any value at all. One of the many stupid questions from him is "why must we set a restrict users from entering values outside 15-25 XX units". My answer to him is straight and simple - "Reason being the system engineer gave me this range and have told me with this range, output will be guaranteed and optimal. Anything outside this range cannot be guaranteed with well calibrated output". I thought this was such a small issue and I did not see this input restriction would in any way affect the software. If in any case the system engineer allow a wider or narrower range, I would just have to change the range check. It would not take me much effort in doing so. Couldn't he just understand and move on? Why debating over such a minute issue for hours! Even the end-users with no technical knowledge could understand.

On the second day of my demo, I was to conduct Full Load Test, Endurance Test, Reserve Requirement Test, and Free Play Test. All these 4 tests were conducted together in a span of 6 hours! I left the system running for the next 6 hours and incorporating full load scenario to see if system still performed normally. At regular intervals, available CPU and RAM usage readings were recorded to ensure there should have 50% available resource at any point in time. Concurrently, end-users were to start using and hands-on the system. They were also allowed to "crash" the system to test how well it could handle erroneous inputs. All went smoothly.

On the third day, first half of the day was my colleague's show while the second half was more like 50-50 affair for us. Again, the XXXX irritating guy brought up his many problematic unnecessary questions again. He even argued over a statement my boss wrote on the Minutes of Meeting. My boss wrote - ".. shall revert on the cost/schedule, if any...". I thought it was a fair statement for both sides. There's a change request and it's an action item. Of course if the change is going to be effortless, demanding for additional money or timeframe would be unreasonable, and if the change is going to be an impact, then it's right for us to request for extra man-months. However, the XXXX guy just could not see the picture. We spent hours debating over this statement. He is a very stubborn person.

Oh ya, I almost forgot to mention the 3 days feast! In these 3 days, there were 2 tea breaks and lunch being catered for! Tea breaks were those standard style often seen provided by catering service. However, I would say the lunch being catered for were quite incredible. All the 3 lunches I had come with a 6 course package plus 1 additional huge plate of nicely cut fresh fruits. The 6 course package comprised of 1 whole fish, chicken, pork, prawns, beancurd and vegetable. Menu for the 3 days were all different. Lunches were not from catering service but rather, it's from our canteen so all dishes were all freshly cooked right out of the oven. Fresh fruits comprises of grapes, oranges, dragon fruits and kiwi. Really had a very filling lunch for the past 3 days.

Ok, back to reality.

881 OST - 最后一口气

*Chinese lyrics

《最后一口气》
演唱：明珠姐妹

有病有痛真干苦
wu bin wu tia jin gan ko
Suffering from sickness and pain is so torturous,
出出入入四排埔
chu chu lip lip si pai po
Shuffling in and out of four-bounded walls [the hospital].
打针会落头发
pa zan eh lak tao mo
Injections cause the hair to fall,
吃药强要吐
jia yo kiong be tou
While the strong medicine induces nausea;
归日倒块眠床铺
gui jit dou teh min cheng po
Waiting for the end whilst bed-ridden.

求天公我来求佛祖
kiow ti gong gua lai kiow hu zuo
Begging the gods, and begging Buddha,
乎我好好来行路
hu gua ho ho lai kia lou
To let me go in peace.
叫父母您著来娶我
kiuo bei bu nin diu lai chua gua
Calling out to my parents, you must come and fetch me,
娶我甲您来作伴
chua gua ka nin lai zou pa
Fetching me to accompany you [in the afterlife].

今年只有四十外
kin ni zi wu si zap gua
I'm only 40 plus this year,
乎病甲我来折磨
hu bin jia gua lai zhe bua
Yet sickness comes to torture me.
死袜死 活袜活
si bue si wa bue wa
Wishing for death, but unable to die; wishing for life, yet unable to truly live.
剩半条命地啦拖
chun pua diao mia di lei tua
Left with half a life, being a burden to others.

Chorus x2

人生我已经看破
lin sieng gua yi geng kua pua
I have seen past this ephemerality called life.

881 OST - 一人一半 (One Half)

You may watch and listen to this nice song for a Singapore local production by Royston Tan, 881. It is a touching and insightful film on the ‘Getai’ scene in Singapore.


*Chinese lyrics

《一人一半》
演唱：伍加輝
改編詞:小寒 曲:伍加輝

一人一半 感情不散
一人一素故 感情才會久
時光累計 安靜的淚滴
一心去追 愛那么可貴

Chorus：
這樣的人 這樣地等
無非是等個回應眼神
為愛翻滾 不計傷痕
甘心為你一生都浮沉

這樣的人 別笑我蠢
傻傻的 心痛也不覺疼
就算天冷 就算殘忍
等你想起這沒用的人

一人一半 感情不散
已經找到愛 為何要離開

時光累計 安靜的淚滴
一心去追 愛那么可貴

Repeat Chorus*

一人一半 感情不散
已經找到愛 為何要離開
已經找到愛 為何先離開
