I’m on the cab on the way to the airport now rocking the punjab music lol. This is my first time flying to/from a US airport since September 11th. So it’ll be interesting to go through the “new” airport security for the first time. (:p it’s new to me) It also looks like the hotel [...]
I went out for a small wine tasting session at the Hamilton Street Grill near our office in Yaletown. It was my first time being to this restaurant I think (I’ve been to so many restaurants on Mainland and Hamilton that I’ve lost track by now). Business Objects was nice enough to have this session [...]
I am just a few steps away from sealing off that final patent document after getting some super great help from my co-worker who is a SME in that last particular detail that I wanted to define. It’s really great to be geeky and super creative at the same time. I think if there’s anything [...]
My patent application from a few weeks ago is now a go! As confirmed by the patent office, there’s no prior art on this technology yet from their research. I am quite excited about all of this… and the fact that sometime in the next year or two, my name will pop-up on the US [...]

It has a business need and a market for it, perhaps even some serious patent trolling potential. No, there are no existing similar products in the [...]
Today was a pretty relaxed day at work with team development meetings, team lunches and co-ordination meetings. The farewell wine and cheese in somewhat of a UE tradition at the end of the day really marked the beginning of the weekend. It just occurred to me today that the poor Crystal Reports team next door [...]
Tomorrow will be the official (and possibly exciting) launch of Business Objects and SAP! The world-wide cross-site event will all go down at 8:30 AM Pacific Standard Time. All of today was pretty much spent in meetings, and it seems like that’ll be the case for the remainder of the week. I am dead tired [...]

Today was my last official day at Business Objects. I’m really going to really miss this place. I really learned a lot from working here and there’s definitely more to be learned. Everyone was super nice here too. *sniff*
In today’s lesson, we covered aggressive, passive, and assertive communication behaviours. We also worked on expressing our feelings, and ways to influence people in a conversation.
