Welcome to Randy’s Blog !!!!

My project here at VICO is to write an application that tracks an accident/incident report. It must have a search feature and a follow-up procedure. The design/model is already made.

I spent my first two weeks exploring Microsoft Sharepoint. It’s a really useful web application where teams/companies can collaborate and share documents. In my opinion, it can fulfill the requirements of the project but my mentor said Sharepoint is still new and has a weak point. The weak point is that I need more time to open up the API (Application Programming Interface) since it’s not flexible enough for further developments.

After that, we decided to use the Java Web Framework: Webwork. I have to study HTML, PHP, CSS, SQL, JSP, Java, and also Web tools like Jetty, Struts2, Spring, Hibernate, Sitemesh, Freemarker, etc. I’m using Eclipse as the IDE.
 

I’ve got a lot of learning to do… Now it’s coding time! 

Setelah dua kali bolak-balik ke kantor imigrasi, pagi ini gw ngambil paspor. Gw berangkat jam 7 dari kantor di Jl. Gatot Subroto yang juga sebelah jalan Mampang/Warung Buncit. Oh ya, ini pertama kalinya gw naik busway loh! Enak ya, bisa jalan2 di tengah2 Jakarta tanpa macet, sambil liatin jalanan macet :p

Sampe di imigrasi jam 7.20an, udah mo bengong aja ampe jam 8, untung dateng tmn se- SMA&ITB gw. Ngobrol2 ampe jam 8. Tau-nya pas ngantri, lamaa banget ga ada yang layanin, ternyata nungguin orangnya nyari kunci lemari Paspor Baru!!!

Bodoh banget, setelah 15 menit, kunci gembok akhirnya mulai digergaji!!! Dah kaya maling aja… Selesai ngambil paspor (40 menit lamanya) gw balik ke kantor naik busway cuma 10 menit, jalan 5 menit ke kantor.

Menurut gw ngurus paspor sendiri ga praktis, mesti bolak-balik 3 kali ke kantor, mesti naik-turun tangga 5 kali buat ke loket pembayaran, mesti ngalah giliran foto dengan orang yang "bayar lebih" padahal gw dateng lebih pagi!!! Yach, begitulah birokrasi di Indonesia, sebenernya bisa dibuat mudah dan cepat, tetapi justru dengan dibuat lama agar ada jasa-jasa!

Oh ya, posisi 2 toilet berdiri (pria), sempit banget dijepit tembok, nggak berguna, ampe gw foto saking herannya…
