Geokudo sprint #2
Saturday, September 5, 2009
In the previous few weeks, Geokudo, has been tested with the end users on usability flaws. From there we discover that a majority of them like to draw directly on the map rather than grouping what they have drawn into projects. Also, they find themselves less likely to move from mouse to keyboard when drawing on the map. Considering this, our next sprint will be focusing improving usability, revising the structure of the code due to any effect, and improving documentation.
A new member, Claudio Yin, has been recruited in our original team of 4. A new fresh mind also have brought us back to think about problems about the structure of the code after refactoring. There are too many source files and the function chaining for each operation is too long. The refactoring problem is, how to make the code easier to read, yet easier to code?
Our team has another a problem that hasn't found a solution yet. Most of the team are recent grads or full time student who have other things prior to Geokudo. Time to devote is the main concern.

Birth of W3T Productions
Sunday, May 10, 2009
To start off my first career post, I am going to gladly announce the birth of W3T Productions. Starting on 10 May, 2009, along with 3 other co-founder, Kien Trinh, Sam Wong and Clara Wong, W3T Productions is ambitious to evolve successfully as a profitable organization.
At the stage of identifying our mission, vision and values, we identified what is said in the following quote is very true:
""Identifying or updating the mission, vision and values statements is usually done during strategic planning."
At this stage, we are continuing to search for the answers to the following questions before writing the statement down.
1. How can we be effectively carries out our operations stated in the mission?
2. What method shall we use to identify vision, since it can range from highly analytical and rational to highly creative and divergent?
3. How can they serve us as more of a motivational tool than just strings that sounds ambitious?
4. How shall we we word them?
There we found an article by Authenticity Consulting that helps us a lot in identifying the first 3, yet the most important statements of W3T Productions.
Please refer to the W3T Productions website for details on our latest updates.
