Patent pending

As of this morning, my patent application (as the sole inventor) has been officially submitted with the United States Patents and Trademarks Office! I’m super excited that this was all done before I end my work term here at Business Objects. As some of you may know, this idea was originally thought of a few [...]

Free fish

Alright fine… this is just another filler post for having not written anything on this blog for so long. Well, I have a much better topic to write about tomorrow. =p

Wine Tasting @ Hamilton Street Grill

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 [...]

Almost done!

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 to [...]

It’s a go

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 [...]

So excited!

No, there are no existing similar products in the works [...]

37 minutes

That’s how long I spent on the phone with tech support yesterday trying to set up my new laptop. The picture says 35:43, but I think the message is there. Grr.
Ofcourse, the replacement was a dud, so it was back in the shop for the entire morning again today.

The fun begins!

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 [...]

The launch

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 right [...]
