I played golf with my friend. Basically we had whole golf course to ourselves. Unfortunately, the score was the worse of this year but we had fun. We actually talked about business a lot.

We found the leak from the roof yesterday. We have a contractor came to fix the roof. As a temporary measure, they are putting tarp over the roof.

If you have a clear goal (purpose), you should figure out what to do (means). But when the purpose is not clear, you do things just for the sake of doing things.

Usually when you exercise, you have reasons. Loose weight, get in shape and so on. More strong the goal or purpose is, more you exercise. As a manager, you need to make sure you communicate the purpose and let people do whatever they to make hot happen. If they fail, remember Sun Tzu's words.

Sun Tzu said: "If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame. But if his orders are clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers."

Clean Up Your Server Room

When was the last time you clean up your server room?
Are you afraid something might break when you clean up your computer?

It's a good idea to clean up your server room.
If you can get rid of cables that are too long, you should make it just long enough.
When we clean up our data center ... you cannot believe how much excess cables we had.

Rockabilly Riot!

It's kind of cool to see Brian Setzer's big billboard at Japanese train station. Apparently, he is having a tour in Tokyo February 22 and 23. I wonder what kind audiences will be there in Japan.

Adopting to The Tradition and Culture

2月

I was in Korea (Incheon Airport) for transit from Tokyo to Seattle. I was at the ASIANA Lounge where I had a few hours to kill. I had some salad and took a can of tomato juice. Have you ever had sugar sweetened tomato juice? I have never had sweet tomato juice ... I could not drink it. But that does not mean Korean people drink strange drinks. It means culture is different.

When we build our software, we must really think about how people in the different part of the world use same things differently. Translating the software is one thing, but really making software localized for the market is important. PSPinc used to do software localization for many US software companies. That is how this company is started. We still focus on how our customer use our software first. That is one of the reasons why people start with PSPinc for many years.
