I had a blast of work today. With merely 4 personnel, we update each and every computer manually for the entire ICA building. Something that is so unexpected for a day that is predicted as "the calm before the storm"; the storm is on Monday where the system will go open beta (inhouse).

So this means that thus far, we are still in the testing phrase, for verification and validation of the system. This new Ciris system aims to replace the old MHA system used for RBD.

There are definately lots of delay here and there. Obvious lack of collaboration. Anyway, the whole picture seems to be that ICA employed SCS to develop CIRIS, and approached NCS for testing. The issue seems to be rather than direct SCS communicating with NCS, ICA is involved as a wall between the 2 entities. This may be due to fear that SCS and NCS may collaborate on the testing for "pre-defined" test cases.

Irregardless, lots of time are spent on waiting. FOr instance the software requirement is not even properly and completely handled over to NCS, where no one knows that SP2 is needed for CIRIS.

Anyway, after way. I went to watch "Transformer" with my cousin. IT is a fantastic actionmovie, with more eye candy than Mission Impossible 3. However, it is somehow lackluster since the movie is trying to stay in the rating for children, hence there are hardly much hardcore bloodspills like a thriller movie... and there seems to be some inconsistency with the movie too. The initial copter'bot has ionic shield that made him oblivious to all weaponary... however, somehow, that kind of protection disappears and both the tank'bot and copter'bot fell to human guns... still, the kid lead in the show is highly charismatic and there are lots of funny quotes and scenes... maybe too many such that the ending is somehow ended too fast... still as the movie goes...

NO SACRIFICE NO VICTORY
