To build the new bridge

Jan

5

In order to build the new bridge over Lake Washington, the State is putting a toll on the bridge. They say it can cost as much as $6 to cross the bridge one way. It is not like we are not paying tax already, they are asking us to pay in addition.

The State is not cutting their spending to ask us for more money.

The reason why I put this picture is that it had Microsoft TAG. It is very interesting that the State decide to put Microsoft TAG instead of popular QR Code.

The term "QR Code" is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.

Trust

Jan

The chinese character you see above represents a word TRUST. There are two parts to this character. Left has two strokes. This represents PEOPE. And the right side represents WORD.

The word TRUST is made up with PEOPLE + WORD. What does it tell you?

Well, people trust the words you speak not the action you take. Chinese characters has more than 4,000 years of history behind, so they are telling us something.

You must know the words you speak are more important than the action you take. Your action is important, but without letting people know what you did, it does not generate any TRUST.

This is kind of sad ... but it is so true.

Russian Roulette

Jan

Would you give anyone a permission to work on anything if the person keeps telling you "I don't know what is wrong". Of cause you don't know everything and people do not expect you to be right 100% of the time. But as a professional, you need to comfort your client by communicating why you think it is the right choice. If you cannot communicate, the client will feel like playing a russian roulette.

Many engineers and professionals do not believe this. But the communication skill is more important than the actual skill one has. If you are a professional, remember this!

Internet Traffic

Today we peaked at 250Mbps for our email traffic. This is due to the beginning of the year business usage. We have had up to 400Mbps of traffic in the past and our servers had no problem handing that number. So, 250Mbps is well within our capacity.

To put in the prospective, 250Mbps is same as having 160 T1 connection to the Internet. We have three(3) 1Gbps connection to the Internet to handle the traffic.

I just realized that I am 3 years older than Space Needle. What is that mean? I don't know but it is depressing to see something that is old but it is younger than me.

What do you want your web site to do?

Jan

Forget pretty pictures, forget shopping cart, forget complex navigation systems, forget SEOs and Meta Tags and for get what you know technically about your web site. Tell me what your web site should do for you?

Let the technical matter be taken care by professionals. Just tell us what you want to see. Do you want more visitors? (Of cause. So what kind of people do you want to see visiting your web site.) Do you want more sales? Do you want more information? Or may be you do not want to spend any more money.

You need to start from telling people what you want rom your web site.
