September is Information Technology Month.

a.Joomla Birthday Sept 1.
b.Free Software Foundation Sept 2.
c.Internet Sept 2.
d.Software Freedom Day Sept 19.
e.One Web Day Sept 22.

Also this September 1 I’m already 2year in one of Big IT company here in Philippines and I’m already free from any bond for exclusively work, but its doesn’t mean that I’m free to look for other challenges and opportunity.

One thing that September makes very special it’s because the start of “Ber” Month we already start the countdown for Christmas & Holidays.

It’s also the best time to evaluate everything from personal to tech life.

REYN’S ROOM

No matter how simple (8-peso hundred-pad notebook) or special (bought from NBS or Expressions or personalized with pages of different colors and a glittering ink of pen) a slum book has been made, it always reminds me of my sweet teenagehood. Where every girls and every boys always get excited on writing, and reading on other’s slum entry.

• Let’s start this September 2010

Anyway this is not the first time in Philippines and in times of no electric power Filipino people can still finds way to spent their time and socialize offline. Could you imagine the life without TV, Internet, Cell phone Signal, PSP, MP3/4 Player, iPod and iPhone? May be some of us doesn’t like to imagine that but in times like this! It’s always and fun to move back ward and live with an old school way of life.

Some old school way of life:

Buy News paper, Magazine to get news, entertainment and crossword puzzle.

Play board games like chess scrabble, snake and ladder, games of general.

Go outside the house talk to your neighbor or watch basket ball at your local basket ball court.

Play outside kids playing outside with Filipino games. Taguan (Hide and Seek) is the most popular games especially if light are out all over the place.

Visit your grandparents talk to them about World War 2 or Edsa 1

Last is too listened to your old battery powered radio.

While waiting for some good response and for dedicated people out there, I start to wonder why I doing this things and why I’m really want to build my own project and after reading some startup books below is my Startup Flavors.

Personal Project Startup:

Start with a small but persistent happiness. It could be a gap between you and some existing program or web app, a feature no one seems to realize is needed, or just a desire to see what you can code. Add a skilled developer with dedicated time with a desire and belief on your idea to make his or her side project a full-fledged startup.

Key ingredients: KISS Keep It simple stupid!  And Get Real! Build from open source and interact to existing tools, apps and web.

Pros: Personal projects are great résumé builders personally and for the team, it’s a great satisfaction for you from other programmers and to show to others developers the tools or web application that you contribute to a world wide web. They can also be the starting point for any one of the other kinds of startups.

Cons: Dedication is the important resource, sometime project suffer from low financial support and its required highly skilled and dedicated developers.

Bottom line: Personal projects are a great way to build your reputation, contribute new tools, service and technology. You don’t naturally like to get a reward (money)  and you know it will come along the way naturally if a lot of people are happy to use it.

The information very exhausted for a one whole day event, there is a lot and exciting tools to know directly from Google and it’s nice to know that they pushing HTML5, with their latest browser chrome.

But as I expected they don’t answer my question.

Is Google going to build or having a plan to create their owned social networking?

The answer is pretty straight forward.

Sorry! We can’t comment on that!

I know it’s still a rumor about Google Me and according to this post of mashable.com

The big rumor that’s recently been making the rounds is Google Me, Google’s upcoming social network and a full-fledged competitor to Facebook.

While there’s virtually nothing official on the record for this project, Kevin Rose recently said it exists, and now more and more people close to either Google() or Facebook have been confirming that Google indeed has something along these lines in the works.

http://mashable.com/2010/06/30/google-me-rumors/

Google is working on a social service to rival Facebook, if web rumors are to be believed.

There is no consequence whether you chose left or right and the felling is quite difficult to understand but the most important here what ever you chose you understand both as a whole and there is no losing option.

Decision like Employer or Self Employed is one of best example to talk to your self, you must select first to be one of theme and talk to opposite one and tell about what, how and when is the best time to be one of it.

Talking to your self sometime gives a new idea, personality and decision from you.

I found out that I’m only suffering from “Project Plateau” discuss in smashingmagazine.com, I’m always excited from new idea but in the process of building and development, my excitement is starting loose and see my self looking for new idea or may be for a new excitement.

Everyone has their own approach to generating ideas. There’s no “best way” to be creative. But when it comes to the process of executing ideas, we all face one challenge in particular: sticking with it. Most ideas are abandoned at what I’ve come to call the “project plateau”: the point when creative excitement wanes and the pain of deadlines and project management becomes burdensome. To escape this pain, we generate a new idea (and abandon the one we were working on). This process can easily repeat itself ad infinitum, without us ever finishing anything meaningful.

I have 30+ domain last year and I have a great idea for each and everyone of them 5 for different social community, 3 niche blog, 4 for open source community , web 2.0 project and service but the problem is I’m only best in starting and having hard time to maintained and develop it.

Right now I’m still handling 8 domain name line up for different ideas, blog, community, open source project and web2.0 product and services, I promise my self to finish this first before doing and searching for the next thing.

It’s not bad to have a lot ideas, but the real issue is how we going to handle it and how we going to make these ideas happen, how these ideas going to be born and become available to every one is up to the author and developer of ideas.
