year end appraisal

Not using the commuter today. Woke up just in time to arrive in office at 8.20 by car. Now its pouring outside. Can’t get to car without drenched wet. So here i’m writing this entry.

Recap

Went to MAMPU forum yesterday and manage to squeeze into Sun Programme later in the afternoon at PICC. Its the third Open Source event held this month. To put it in a nutshell, i manage to get what i want in both events.

My most anticipated slot during the forum was Web Accessibilty. Since the Parliament gazetted Act 685 Person with Disabilities Act 2008, we are obliged to Part IV – Promotion and Development of The Quality of Life and Well Being of Persons with Disabilities where in section 30 covers Access to information, communication and technology by person with disabilities. I guess this is where web accessibility standards comes into place. W3C WAI is a good place to start.

During the Sun event, i attended Colin Charles track – Mysql for developers and Hsenid‘s Mysql Scalability. Their tips and best practices are great. Now I’m thinking of migrating our Oracle’s DB to Mysql.
