軟體專案有這些風險: (軟體聖經)
1.先天的時程錯誤(schedule flaw)
2.需求膨脹(requirement inflation)
3.人力流失(employee turnover)
4.規格崩潰(specification breakdown)
5.低生產力(poor productivity)
個人經驗, 公司有不同文化, 專案也有不同屬性, 我遇過的上述情況若發生, 公司的處置對策如下: (S:Scenario, A:Action, R:Result)
S1: 遊戲專案, 時間快截止前發現遊戲不好玩, bug還很多未解決, 開會後決議
A1: 新增功能, 並延長時程
R1: 結果加開更多的功能, 大家脾氣越來越糟, 最後時間延長卻造成生產力下滑, 雖然產品最後還是上線了, 可是前前後後大約流失了一半的專案成員
S2: Web系統, 專案時間快截止前, 過程中逐漸發現很多功能需要新增後才能做到可上線並自動化的程度, 開會後決議
A2: 延長時程, 合理的功能還是得開發, 但堪用即可
R2: 最後延長3次, 上線後問題依然很多, 逐漸穩定, 但還無法做到很自動化, 管理介面也不夠多, 慘的是常常有帳對不起來需要手動並修改資料庫data的情形
S3: 同上情況, 但專案為協助其他部門開發, 算是跨部門的專案, 開會後決議
A3: 延長時程, 並限縮功能, 其餘由被協助部門承接後續開發與上線事宜
R3: 因為其實被協助部門就是因為人力吃緊所以請求技術部門協助, 協同開發案一結束, 接受轉移來的系統, 並無人員有能量承接, 此開發案仍然放在倉庫, 上線日期遙遙無期
以上的情況我感覺不斷地重演時程錯誤的問題, 需求都在過程中越見明朗, 規格也因此陸續增加, 但傳統公司礙於面子問題, 不肯對上司誠實交代"delay"的原因, 使得"說到做到"的次文化重於執行專業, 最後上了一個不是很好用的東西, 使用者使用意願低, 開發人員越來越自卑。這樣的惡性循環, 不知道要嘗過幾次教訓才會受教。

Succulents
My friend introduced me a very talented potter lives in Luodong, Yilan. Those are his design. They're very fashion potteries. I like his art style better than another master. So I bought 2 of them and costed me $600 in total. I think I'd like give one of them to my friend as a gift.
The potter is a Hong Konger, very friendly and humble guy. We ate beef noodle together and talked about cultures. He said "丟~" is a very rude word as well as "噗街~" in Hong Konger.

2012 Taichung Jazz Festival
We also drank a lot of alcohols and ate some BBQs, enjoying in the jazz music. While we wanted to take ubus back to Taipei, we realized that we needed make a long line. When Takashi and I arrived at home, it was around 1:30 am. It's a fantastic event as before.
One more thing, on the way went south to Taichung, I took ubus and watched a movie "失戀33天" so deeply. I liked the characters 黃小仙 and 王小賤 very much. It's absolutely a good story.

Lung-Shan Temple
I met my ex-coworker, Han, and his wife and daughter. I can tell that he was my best friend in my previous company. He was kind, hard working, humble, friendly, easy-going, responsible, etc. He was a great father as well, full of love, giving his family safety and good life without treating himself well.
I respected him in spite of his younger than me. When we worked together, we helped each other a lot, overworking together, and shared knowledge all the time. Some of my ex-coworkers had already quit. I hope they all could get better job and life than before.
The last, I got my mug which symbolized a memory of being with my ex-girlfriend. I left it in my previous company.
Jogging
I went jogging with my friends in the Saturday morning at 6 am. It's very early but I did like go jogging in the early morning, not so hot and not so crowded as well. I had to practice cus I'll join 2012 Taroko Gorge Half Marathon on next Saturday. I took 76 mins for this time. It's around 10 km only but I felt a little bit tired. Therefore I slept until noon after home.

Interview
It was very cool that I got an interview with the other 3 candidates and 2 interviewers. I had to show my advantages in brief but impressive enough to attract the eyes of interviewers. I also learned something from all of them. We described our opinions on the same topic for couple rounds.
I thought I did good job cus my Mom got a call from this company said that they hoped me to join them. I still couldn't tell what's my final decision so I pended to answer that. I can learn new programming languages on both platforms of iOS and Android but the salary and the welfare was too low for me.
In the afternoon, I got a physical cure for 2 hours. It's very painful.

Interview
I just finished an interview in the morning. I didn't like to join cus the CEO was too young for me. I prefer my future manager is like my life teacher and could guide me the direction of life as well as the instructions of work. Afterwards, I went to Neihu, waiting for the next interview. I entered this coffee shop, YANNICK, by mistake. I forgot the start time of the interview. I tried to make myself calm down and kept enjoying the great time drinking latte and eating pumpkin millefeuille here. The truth was I had only few interest in the following company.
However, it was different from what I expected. The interviewer was very nice woman and the job was good for me, server-side, SA/SD job, in charge of performance tuning, etc. But sorry that I still refused this job cus I hated on-call job. I couldn't stay in peace after work or on holidays. You never know any call you will get in your off time could ruin your life.

Interview
I got 2 interviews today. I got failed for the first one. Probably was my late for the interview for 10 mins, or my C++ skill wasn't so good enough, even or other candidates were much better than me. So I couldn't pass even I felt very good to talk with 2 interviewers for almost 1 hour.
The second one was a online game company. I felt very strange that the interviewer, Bevis, was so young but his job title was senior manager. In addition, I got some information of this company from my friend before I came here, which said that the employees here weren't so stable. I had some prejudices on this company even though I actually felt good to talk with interviewer. And I thought I did have interests in designing a game of a global web game, spongebob.
My friends also gave me some advices. We went to Nangang and ate delicious dumplings in this restaurant in the night. I still had no ideas how to choose my future job since I got more interviews day by day.

Interview
I missed the time I took bus to North Van or wherever I wanna go. I seldom got lost. Ironically, I couldn't find the bus stop easily at Taipei.
I got an interview in the company of gemalto with 3 foreigners for 1.5 hours. It's an good experience.

Maple Trees
Norquay Park
I am lucky to see a lot of beautiful red maple leaves in Canada before I leave; meanwhile, I also feel sad...
It seems that I'll fall down from the heaven to the hell. When I back to Taiwan, I'll suffering from low-paid and overtime working jobs, hot and humid weather, crowded street and transportation, air and water pollutions, traffic jams...
It's very likely that I'll lose some good friends permanently, particularly my dear roommates and home mother. And definitely I'll miss my elder brother, smiley John, so so much.
Can I stay longer? Yes, but I don't want. I need to move on.
Can I come back? Yes, but it's not very soon. It might be here for my honeymoon.
My life will start over again pretty soon. The life is always going to begin.

Deep Cove
The 3rd time I was here.
Finally, I met my old schoolmate, Chris today. He worked very hard just for saving enough money for the long trip next year. He lost 10 kg in 2 months. It's too crazy...
When we met every member in the Waterfront Station, it's just cloudy outside so we decided to go to Deep Cove in North Vancouver. Fairly luckily, it just spitted sometime when we went hiking. But it started to rain more heavier since we ate donuts and Bistro. Eventually it rained dog and cat at around 6 pm. That's really bad.
We took #211 bus back to downtown and drank coffees in Tim Horton's.
Today's so much fun when hiking, eating, drinking, and playing games together. Just wanna said that "I'll miss you all. My good friends."

Lazy Day
I woke up at 11:30 and had nothing to do. It rained a lot so it's not necessary to think about where to go. Just stayed at home lazily. And eat food with roommates.
We shared my 辛辣麵 for brunch and my pasta and ingredients for lunch. Later on we'll watch a movie. But I'm so sleepy now...

Birthday Party
I had an awesome party at homestay. The party was for my birthday and Dan's long trip in the next week. I got a gift which was a light blue long-sleeve t-shirt and a blessing card.
Here we had members of Mency, Jodi, Cody, Mireya, Luisa, Minjae, Hyungjin, Dan, and Masaki. We ate dinner, ate chocolate cakes, drank alcohols, dance, played guitar, played games with balloons and cards. It's a long day. Thanks for my dear home mother and roommates, thank you so much for making my long but interesting day. Full of laughs.
I'm very lucky to be with you all and I wish I will be with you all again in the future. I'll miss you all, love you all.
The party finished at 2:30 am and then I talked with Masaki until 5 am. That's very crazy day. hahaha !

You Paint I Fire
I painted my pottery. It's very colorful. I hope they will still be good colors after firing.
John was a little bit happy cus he got a call from Tina's husband, who is out of control on his emotion, cus he realized that John and Tina seem to love each other. So he tried to warm John but the truth was John didn't call Tina or email to her proactively. What John wanted to say was that's not his problem. There was something wrong in their relationship of Tina and Tina's husband.
Is the true loving coming for John ? Will John and Tina get together ? Let's just wait and see.
It's good news and good day for John, I think, even though John mentioned that's bad news.

Dim Sum
I was late for 30 mins. I didn't know why I went south and made myself further and further away from the restaurant. My friends waited for me for a long time but thankfully they didn't get mad. They still smiled when they saw me. Hahaha.
When I arrived there eventually, Ricky was waiting for me outside , and Saya and Miwa was sitting inside. I had no idea why Ricky didn't just talk with new friends inside. Maybe he was shy ?
We had a great time to eat dim sum, having Chinese tea, and talked very joyfully here. It's just $11 per each, unbelievable cheap price.
Afterwards, we all didn't have any plan except for me. I needed go home before 6 pm to have an interview via Skype. So we just went to Starbucks for around 1 hour. I learned some Japanese words but the only one I can remember was "cho" which means "very" in Japanese). That was so much fun.

You Paint I Fire
We ate very delicious Indian food, samosa. Our member were John, Shahlla, Paul, Sumi and me. Tina's family was coming from Edmonton but they wouldn't be here today. We laughed almost all the time, particularly till the time when I used Sumi's professional camera,cannon DSLR. It's a series photo function, 10 shots continuously. We did have to do some funny poses in order to make them different. That's so interesting.
This party is for Sumi and me cus we're all leaving. Sumi will leave on 11th Oct and I'll do on 17th Oct.
Thanks for them, especially John, made this wonderful party for us.
After left John's place. Sumi and me went to a new bar, Rogue, near Cambie St / Broadway St. And talked a lot. Hope both of us will keep in touch and have good times after leave here.
The bartender was very kind, nice person. So we took a photo with him. :P

Karaoke
We were supposed to meet at 1pm in front of 小酌508. However, unfortunately I don't have phone account so my friends, Johnny, Paul and Eva they were all late and couldn't contact me. I waited for them for 20 mins under very strong sun shines, losing my patience, thus I decided to leave and go see around.
I found the Karaoke store, Mix-2, just located across the street. The staff very kindly showed customers' ID for me to check if anyone I knew but unluckily there was no one. I went out to find a place offered wifi. That's Starbucks, but it's already costed me 25 mins since I left Karaoke store.
I still had no idea where they were cus very shockingly Starbucks didn't offer wifi. I decided to go back to Karaoke store again. I'll go home angrily if they were not there. Eventually, I found them, for God's sake.
I sang a lot of songs from 2pm to 6pm with them and just spent $24 (admission and a drink). Afterwards we started to eat dinner, twice with one more member, 小周. The first restaurant was in 重慶飯店. But it sounded not enough for us so that's why we went to the next one, Sushi Garden. I made everybody too full cus I thought I did order too much. kkk
It's a nice day, Thanksgiving Day for Taiwanese friends.

Turkey Trot
There was a Turkey Trot event held today, Thanksgiving Day. I, very luckily, was a member of volunteers to cheer participants, giving them water. I was acquainted with a Chinese Canadian, Henry, a black guy from states, and a Korean girl, Hichu, studying in PGIC.
The mission today was quiet easy so we finished before 10 am and I took AquaBus to Granville Island with the black guy and Henry, trying to get our t-shirts.
We did it. It's a very cool t-shirt and we also got some other prizes like free aquabus ticket, chocolate, and candies.

Thanksgiving Day
to celebrate pre-thanksgiving day and my leaving... I had a very delicious lunch organized by Masaki and his friends, and afterwards had gorgeous multicultural style dinner made by Mency and Minjae, staying at home with my home family. Thanks for making my day. This is the priceless gift to give me from you all.
The party held in Masaki's apartment. Masaki is an awesome chef. He made Sukiyaki, so-called 壽喜燒 in Taiwan, very delicious. Moreover, we had my grapes, Ayano's BBQ chips, Rafael's ice creams and Masaki's sprites. We had a good time but it would be better if they spoke more in English, not in Japanese nor Portuguese. Still very nice to meet old friends and new friend, Kana, from Yokohama.
Before I came home, I drank green tea latte in Starbucks with Masaki and killed a lot of time to keep talking as usual. The time was not enough for us obviously cus I really wanted to go home and had a great time with my home family.
I always like talk and have food and drink with my home family.
Happy Thanksgiving Day. Although I didn't have turkey today but I'll have one tomorrow cus I'll have a volunteering job for Granville Island Turkey Trot. That's turkey.
Nightmare
I dreamed. I saw a girl who is my type coming with her good male friend as usual. I wanted to talk with her more, looking at her face more, seeing her smile again. But I couldn't do that as usual. I said 'hi' and left.
Cus I guess I have been liking this girl for a long time and even tried to tell her my mind once but failed to get good response, I became depressed and disappointed. I had no confidence to do the things all I wanted to do as before.
I left. I felt sad. That's not a good feeling. And then I woke up, praying for GOd for peace.

Cypress Mountain
When we arrived at downtown, we ate in Mcdonald's near Burrard Station, kept enjoying every moment.
I took more than 200 priceless photos of us. I definitely will miss all of them in the future vis those pictures.
Thanks for having good weather, good mountain, good roommates, and good life here with you guys. ♥

Good Night
Easy and simple food. But we ate together in the Kitchen, with Mency, Minjae, Minjae's brother, Dan and me. We talked for so long time. It was almost from 8:30 pm to 11:00 pm. We shared foods, drinks, and cookies, playing guitar, talking about John's love story. Sorry that I shouldn't told John's story. I should keep it in a secret. But it's very good chance to practice English. So I did it. All of our roommates were interested in this crazy romantic film-like love story.
But I have a feeling. Tina will come back to Vancouver and continue to fall in love with John, having a happy life in the future. I think she will even though I couldn't understand girls.
I give you bless, John.
Banana Leaf
This restaurant, Banana Leaf, offering Malaysian and Singaporean foods. However the waitresses were all Canadians. It's high-class and expensive restaurant. I just ordered daily specials, King Prawns, and a coconut rice. It costed more $22.12 before tax and tips...
Unfortunately, it's really delicious.

John was very sad today cus Tina hasn't come here for 2 days. Probably she's leaving, deciding to go with her husband and daughter to Edmonton. That means Tina didn't choose John even though they did love each other. John has been suffering for couple days.
I couldn't help, especially in this very complicated situation. The only thing I can do was be a great volunteer, trimming potteries for him.
Even more, I had to leave earlier cus I had an appointment with my coworkers. While I was leaving, John's face got even longer. I really wanted to stay until the store closed but I couldn't.
Hope John will get better after this long weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving Day !

Grand Opening of CT Vancouver English School.
Thanks for teaching us, James !
This Friday there will be a free pronunciation class. Welcome to go there if you're interested in.
And I'm leaving, I'm not sure I can see you all again. Very nice to meet you guys, fluent English speaker, Ryan from Japanese, and 2 Koreans, Blair and BoSeon.
Btw, I met Kimoko again and very embarrassedly I still couldn't remember her name. Sorry for my bad memory.

Phnom Penh Restaurant
Finally, we did it. The reason why I say in this way is because last time we came here and the staff said we had to wait for around 40 mins so we gave up to eat in Aki Japanese Restaurant. Very luckily, this time we came in in almost the last second before it closed so we didn't need to make a line.
My volunteer coworker, Sumi, she'll leave on 10th Oct. So the only thing she has to do before that day is keeping enjoying here, such as hanging out with friends, making money, studying English. So we had a lot of time to enjoy this meal and spoke in English. Afterwards, we went to blenz coffee and kept talking. We had a great time. Wish she will have her dream come true and have good trip in other countries.
She is a very brave and independent Japanese girl, always go traveling alone. Amazing!

I made my second pottery but actually John almost made it. It's not easy for me to control the strength and position of my hands and fingers so John helped a lot. I wanted to make it higher but was not allowed. Maybe it took time to do that. =.=
Did you see the beer near my pottery? I bought 8 bottles of Kokanees. I could drink all of them with John today cus he was sad and got in trouble nowadays. I was very sorry that I had an appointment so we just drank a bottle of beer and talked for a while. Hope John would be fine.
