Moving Ubuntu machine back

The wireless connection was really bad in garage, so I moved the Ubuntu box back and put it under my table now.

Strength of wireless signal improved a lot (from ~15 to ~60), so I no longer have high packet lost rate and latency.

I’m still thinking of retiring this P4 machine, but virtual machine does not provide me enough stability, I will try VMWare, Virtual PC, and VirtualBox again to see if anyone can give me better x64 virtulization support.

Whenever someone wants to report every piece of his job to you …

I believe communication is the right way to keep team members at the same stage, so to speed up the process, but over-communication is not just a waste of time, it also puts me into bad mood, that is, easy to be irritated.

The difference between junior and senior engineer is senior engineer knows more, so he/she can make his/her own decision without bothering other, and for most time (sure, nothing is 100% perfect) the decision make sense. If a senior acts like a junior, asking question for all the time, and wish you can make decision for him/her, this is incredibly bad, I found I lost my patiency from time to time.

What I was thinking if put this kind of people into his/her own projects, so we can have a clear interface (or agreement) between project/components, pity I failed to make it for this project as it was kind of urgent, and I was handling some other chaos thus I didn’t put much effort on planning. So, I deserve the punishment, and I have to deal with this kind of people for another one or two weeks. Let’s pray, that I won’t yell at them.

Funny thing is, this kind of people used to announce they know this and that, seems everything, and eager to take “interesting” projects – I don’t care they take more as long as they can take care of themselves, as it means I can take some rest, but if they take project from boss or some other team members, but then ask my help for too much, I won’t feel happy, and I’ve already let others knew that I was doing the project indeed.

Let’s see.
