We decided to put our son (Jai) in Childcare nearby home. Registration is done and he is gonna go there from 3rd Jan 2007. It was a nice feeling altogether the one my dad would have had when he put me in Lower Kinder Garten. In Singapore, we have 2 more optional levels before i put him in K1 or LKG.
First in Nursery1 or N1 which i have put my son in and after that N2. Look forward to see him in classes in the coming days, he has already started saying take him to school. I really hope he will enjoy the classes and hopefully i would facilitate with a learning environment at home too.

MS - Sharpoint Server 2007
I attended a 5 days training session on MOSS (Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007) in Avantus.
Originally it was intended only for MS tech guys in my company but i managed to get inside. The prime intention is to learn and some obviously draw some comparisons between my favorite LND and SP. I know i cannot compare LND with just SP cos SP requires many other things to get it work.
I will try to write this in detail later but the conclusion i had to draw is - if your infrastructure is Lotus already, i don't think its a good idea to use Sharepoint. If you are a MS shop yes you didn't had anything of this kind before and oh yes, you could move with additional M$.
In my opinion, if you are already LND shop and also use Quickplace, you are in the game already :)

Things i missed to cover - IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Demo
I gave a presentation recently to one of the prospective customer on IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5. That made me learn about Eclipse RCP and overall Eclipse. I am sort of new to Java world but it seems like i have to learn more in the near future. Lotus Sametime 7.5 is really a huge way forward based on Eclipse. The fact that it is very extensible and it can even inlcude your Workflow applications real time is amazing.
I have to become a Java guy to do all this, but i think i don't mind to become one :)

Things i missed to cover - LAUG 8th Meeting Dec 2006
This was our last session for this year and we had a little dull crowd as it was a festive season everywhere. We had a gentleman from AXS-ONE explaining about the compliance management of everything from Email to Digital Records management and the entire life cycle of the records management.
I had a detailed chat with Stephan Wissel who is now the "Lotus Technology & Productivity Advisor" from IBM Asean about the future of Domino Designer, Domino Server and Lotus Expeditor, Lotus Ventura. It was really an enlightening session for me and i get to know the happenings in IBM toward Lotus Notes and Domino. I was damn happy to hear all the great news and look forward to see everything in the year 2007.
Thank you very much Stephan for the wonderful session.

Things i missed to cover - PMI Training
We had a Project Management training in our company to get more people to become PMP certified professionals. One of the prerequisite to appear for PMP exams is to attend 35hrs of training which will earn you 35 Professional Development Units or PDU in PMP terminology. A gentleman from ProWiz by name Mr.Ravindran took the sessions for us, and i must say its no sleepy sessions.
He made the sessions very interesting by giving us many exercises to do as teams and individuals. The entire crowd was split in to 4 groups and challenged by questions from every topic.
The easiest of all is the Initiation stage and thereafter its was all very challenging. Planning, Execution, Quality and finally Completion. I loved almost all the sessions and i managed to get a passing score in the mock test provided on the last day :) I will definitely write the exam this year and i initially thought i cannot for more than 6 months to take the exam. I have already missed close to 3 months. Let see how it goes from here.
