Semicolon Developers, Informals

The good thing when someone says no to your proposition is either you taught them or you should learn.

If you’re receiving “no” for a legitimate proposition you’re teaching someone.

If you’re getting “no” for a random proposition you should learn from them.

The point is not to learn to say “no”. It is to learn to find out legitimate vs. random proposition

We started taking PHP/MySQL classes on Semicolon Developers.

It has been exactly one month today (April 19th to May 19th) and our students are collaborating/SCM on creating “Simple PHP Forum” application and “News CMS”. We have five students (two groups) who are learning Web application development with PHP/MySQL.

I am thinking to write a long article about how we teach at Semicolon. Let me find some time to do that, may be this Friday eve.

Here’s a link for the courses we are offering: http://semicolondev.com/services/computer-courses

Two ways to think of quality:

1. A pen will write

• functional requirement
• idea that things will work as they are supposed to

2. A pen will write in a way that is pleasing to the writer, and leave behind ink that is pleasing to the reader.

• idea that things should have an aesthetic quality

Let’s combine them as Quality product = functionality + aesthetic value.

If something doesn’t look “pleasing” despite all those essential functionality, it might not leave impression of the creator’s identity.

The first one is called atarimae hinshitsu & the second one miryokuteki hinshitsu in Japanese.

Ref: Japanese Quality, Wikipedia

Husienberg’s uncertainity principle explains about the relation of position, mass and velocity of a body. His theory explains:-” when the velocity is gradually increasing, the mass and position of a body, at the same rate, becomes uncertain”. It is applicable for not only body but anybody. If you are speeding up faster to achieve your goal, then you cannot judge the direction. Just like a man in running bike cannot judge a man crossing the road.

Being hasty reduces your efficiency. So first, its necessary to learn about the destination you want to reach. Then judge your capacity to make the journey, if you are hungry in the beginning you cannot make it. So basic requirement is obligatory, otherwise you are going to be tired in some miles. Make a itinerary of your journey, so that you won’t be confused which way to go, midway. Evaluate your performance time to time and go ahead steadily, don’t stop. You are not going to loose bcoz you have already started it and there are people who are just thinking to start the same thing you are going to finish.

Don’t run just follow your goal, so that you can observe every instance of your experience, feel every moment of stepping towards the goal, learn to solve problems from every difficulties you encountered and worked out. This will not only make you successful but will give you courage to sustain it for moments.

Discover your brand

Your self-impression = How people perceive you

It is

what people expect of you.
it’s created by everything you do and how you do it.
your values, beliefs, choices, actions, images, etc.
it provides the reason why someone will like you, love you, choose you and hire you .

Whether or not you put effort into developing and managing your brand, you will have one.

This is not to be interpreted as being artificial and creating an image that is not real to you, it is about taking the opportunity to be cognizant of your choices and emphasize the attributes that you want others to associate with you. It’s about “becoming more of who you are.”

The process of personal branding is about taking control of your identity and harnessing its power to facilitate achieving your goals.

personal branding involves identifying your meaningful difference,
or what makes you exceptional and unique,
and consistently communicating such attributes in all areas of your life.

your brand becomes a guide for your life and the choices you make.

By doing so, you will distinguish yourself, be memorable, establish a reputation, gain credibility and, ultimately, achieve your goals.

Picture an egg. Day after day, it sits there. No one pays attention to it. No one notices it. Certainly no one takes a picture of it or puts it on the cover of a celebrity-focused business magazine. Then one day, the shell cracks and out jumps a chicken.

All of a sudden, the major magazines and newspapers jump on the story: “Stunning Turnaround at Egg!” and “The Chick Who Led the Breakthrough at Egg!” From the outside, the story always reads like an overnight sensation—as if the egg had suddenly and radically altered itself into a chicken.

Now picture the egg from the chicken’s point of view.

While the outside world was ignoring this seemingly dormant egg, the chicken within was evolving, growing, developing—changing. From the chicken’s point of view, the moment of breakthrough, of cracking the egg, was simply one more step in a long chain of steps that had led to that moment. Granted, it was a big step—but it was hardly the radical transformation that it looked like from the outside.

It’s a silly analogy, but then our conventional way of looking at change is no less silly. Everyone looks for the “miracle moment” when “change happens.” But ask the good-to-great executives when change happened. They cannot pinpoint a single key event that exemplified their successful transition.

we thought an online community of developers from nepal is lacking. further, we developers and technology enthusiasts from around can dwell in discussion under a single website, the discussions there would be sure “worth” conveying.

this website idea is simple, you ask questions, you get answers. if you know answers to the questions in the site, answer them. that’s it.

few other features like, liking, disliking questions, commenting on questions exists for user interactions. we have point system for each actions like asking question, answering question, liking, disliking, any user performing such actions will receive points as specified in the system. users with points summing to some standard value like 100 points, 200 points, 400 points are awarded with “titles” initiator, social, supporter etc..

if you [think community], [by the community] and [for the community] join us.

let’s help each other by solving/addressing each others queries related to the expertise of our domain.

we want you to join and get involved in the discussion.

cafe बस्दा बस्दै.. (बत्ति हुन्न नि त आजकल) नेपाली मा कसरि लेक्छ मान्छे हरु जस्तो लाइ र थ्यो

त्यो Google Transliterate भन्ने रैछ, http://www.google.com/transliterate एस्मा छ त्यो हेर्दा हुन्छ

यो Google Transliterate को website ले अचम्म काम गर्दो रैछ. त्यो website मा सबैभन्दा देब्रे तिरको सानो बाकस मा “Nepali” भाषा छानेर तल रहेको ठुलो बक्सा मा चाही रोमन नेपाली मा लेख्यो भने unicode nepali मा देखाउछ | अचम्म !!

मैले nepali भनेर लेखे भने nepali unicode मा “नेपाली” देखाई दिदो रैछ |अनि अर्को कुरा, नेपाली युनिकोड मा लेखे पछी चाही internet मा जहाँ जता copy र paste गरे पनि हुने | सिधै फेसबुक मा लगेर टासे पनि हुने, ट्विटर मा ट्वीट गरे पनि हुने

यो website त internet भएको बेला खोलेर लेख्न मिल्ने भयो तर internet नभएको बेला मा पनि नेपाली मा लेख्न चाहिँ Nepali Keyboard, जसले खुरुखुरु नेपाली unicode मा type गर्न मिलोस किनेर ल्याउनु पर्छ, भनेर भन्छु होला भन्ठानेको होला तर तेस्तो केहि गर्न पर्दैन रैछ

तेस्तो Nepali Unicode मा type गर्ने keyboard को साटो एउटा सफ्टवेर हाले हुने रैछ, तेस्लाई IME (Input Method) भन्दा रैछन, यो IME पनि त्यहि अगिको website मा download गर्न मिल्छ | त्यहाँ दाहिने पट्टि “ Download Google Transliteration IME" भनेर लेखेको छ अथवा एस्मा जानुहोला http://www.google.com/ime/transliteration

त्यो download गर्ने ठाउँमा “Choose your IME language” भनेको ठाउँमा “Nepali” छानेर Download Google IME मा click गर्नुहोला |

त्यो IME download सकिएपछि, अरु सफ्टवेर कम्प्युटर मा हाले जस्तो setup गर्नु, setup गर्ने बेलामा Internet Connection चाहिन्छ | एकछिन मा setup सकिएपछि.. काम तमाम |

तेस्पछी IME setup भयो कि भएन check गर्न keyboard मा Alt + Shift एकै पल्ट दाब्नु , मोनिटर को दाहिने तिर तल सानो Google IME Activate भएको चिन्ह आउछ.. तेस्पछी आफ्नो कम्प्युटर मा जहाँ जे मा पनि नेपाली मा type गर्न सक्नु हुन्छ |

Please,
remember that keyboard combination:

Alt + Shift

to switch between English and Nepali Unicode

यति गर्दा पनि भएन भने, cafe आउनु हामी येही नजिकै हुन्छम
