Tree Trimming Service

I was going to invite this company to Seattle Executives Association ... but he is an one person operation and has no time for networking ... I assume. He is doing a great job.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 207 Undelivered Emails

Nov

16

Undelivered Emails

I sent an email, but never received a reply. I had no choice but to call the person I emailed earlier to ask him about it, and he said he didn’t receive it. Next, I asked him to check his junk folder and, sure enough; it was in his junk folder. There are many cases like this. Needless to say, the cause of this is the countless number of spam e-mails sent every day. No matter how many emails you unsubscribe from, the number never decreases.

They designed spam filters to eliminate spam and phishing e-mails, but false positives are not uncommon. In many cases, spam doesn’t get filtered, but important emails also don’t get delivered. Also, because there is so much spam, people can sometimes overlook important emails.

Email is an important communication platform for our customers. How can we avoid this problem? I’ve been thinking about it recently. And then I realized something. When I communicate with the hospital, I log into the hospital’s portal site and send messages within that site. In essence, I send and receive messages without using an external email service.

Wouldn’t it be convenient if customers could log in when they need to and send messages to and from there? Large hospitals already use this system, but wouldn’t it be nice if we could offer this service at a lower cost at the SME level? My company started prototyping such a service. We’d like to create a system not only for hospitals but also lawyers, accountants, etc. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

I just renew my Subaru license for 2022

Nov

14

The renewal was about $350 .... that is a lot cheaper than another car we have (FORD Mach-e) that is an EV. The RTA (Washington State Rapid Transit Authority Tax) is such a motivation killer to buy a ne car. It is socialism at work that discourages people from getting new and better.

I will keep my Subaru as long as it runs so that I don't have to pay to RTA any more than I have to.

First Encounter ... Waymo

Waymo Encounter

I saw Waymo self-driving taxi for the first time.
I cupid not tell whether there was a driver or not, but it is supposed to be a self-driving taxi.
This is cool.

https://waymo.com/

According to a website ...

Waymo is extending its testing program to the state of Washington this winter. The company, owned by Google parent Alphabet, is bringing its autonomous Jaguar i-Pace SUVs to the city of Bellevue, across Lake Washington east of Seattle with a population of around 120,000.

CT Scan This Morning

Nov

Contrast CT-Scan

I had CT-SCAN done this morning.
I really hope they will find nothing wrong.
It has been 9 months since I had part (1/3) of my liver removed.
If it is all possible I do not want to do it again.
Fingers crossed.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 206 Software Development

Nov

Software Development

Independent and small software development companies like ours cannot compete in the same market as large companies like Google and Microsoft. No company or organization would hire a small software company to work on a huge project. The same goes for when you’re hiring someone to build a tower building. You wouldn’t hire a small carpenter for that big of a job. And it’s because they don’t have the same kind of resources (people, goods, money, etc.) other than their technology and experience. So, how can small software development companies survive?

I believe they can survive by finding a niche market to target. In English, the word, “niche”, refers to “a specialized segment of the market for a particular kind of product or service”. The strength of a small software development company is that it can frequently work on small projects that don’t require the massive resources a large company has to build up its business.

When you’re doing business in a niche market, you don’t have to be the first one to capture market trends. What is important is understanding what problems customers currently encounter. From there, it’s your job to provide solutions to those problems quickly and at a low cost. Therefore, our products don’t reflect the world’s latest technology. Rather, they’re practical application developments like automating mundane tasks.

Also, to reduce costs and deliver a good product, the development cycle needs to be as short as possible. Needless to say, the largest cost of software development is labor. To shorten the development cycle, products need to be broken down into smaller components. Developing the same function every time you needed it to work would be a waste of time. So, designing a reusable function that people can share and use interchangeably will lead to cost savings.

In software, we use the word, “drawer”, to describe the resources we have. So, the number of function libraries (or drawers) you have in software development is important. If your tasks are time-consuming, why not consider software development? After developing the software, there’s no longer any additional cost, no matter how many times you use it. Today, we call this digital transformation.
