Project: eCommerce – Compass IT Almost Done

I have a project with Compass IT Solutions Co., Ltd. which offered to me by my ex-boss at Hartt Media. It is an eCommerce site that use the Joomla! and Virtuemart. Actually it is almost done now, only a design part left and then we can adjust the layout and some configuration on payment and shipping module.

The only difficult part is Joomla component which is MVC. I never know MVC before and I have to learn to do it with Joomla document. So this took longer than I expected. This component is for
- Custom the homepage hilight banner and text.
- Custom category and sub category header

So I have to add a module for homepage and change Virtuemart template to display the banner and text.

The component has SWFupload to upload images for any category they want and also rich text editor for homepage. Once the project done, I will add more images.

A Demo of Work That Customer Didn’t Pick

I usually get the job here in Thailand without doing a demo. I hate doing it, but I need to do it sometimes when I got new potential customer. I also hate when I need to compete with the other programmer too. I most likely to get job from some source I know well so that I don't have to do the demo and stuff since they know my ability so well already.

Here is the demo I did a while ago called OAS. I mean I am graceful to work on it, but they didn't pick me. No problem, but here I bring it to show what my demo look like. The time report is quite useful because I make an auto complete ajax box, a time slot that can enter and see the result and save it easily which look like an excel sheet.

The Demo I am talking about is right here: Time Report

Giffarine – Friends, Relatives Reunion

Last weekend I went to see two friends in Pattaya. It's one day trip which took me 4 hours on the transportation back and forth. The main thing to go is suggest them about their benefit to be a Giffarine member which one of them already archive the Bronze Star. We went to eat Som Tum at Jomtien Beach and then went to order stuff at Giffarine Outlet in Na Kleau, Pattaya. Then we headed to Central Plaza and bowled! Haha

I spent only one hour to suggested them about the benefit before I left. Seems that he understand well, but I don't know if he like to do business or not. I gave him some of documents and a new member application set.

Then on Tuesday I went to Giffarine Ram Kham Haeng outlet for a skin care meeting. It's quite useful. It's actually a meeting for sale contest, but open for everyone to listen. Anyway, now I move myself from Phaholyothin to Ram Kham Haeng outlet so I can easily purchase and get commission for myself and my team. I also apply a membership for one of my friend that day.

Then on Wednesday I went to Giffarine Chok Chai 4 to get a commission for my friend. The commission is not so much, but I need to get a Sen Khob Fah magazine and change all the member in my team to get a commission at Ram Kham Haeng outlet or somewhere that close to their place.

On Thursay, I went to Giffarine Phaholyothin outlet again for a supplements meeting (Doctor Jakrapong Paiboon) which is really good :)

And tonight I will leave Bangkok to Khon Kaen for about 2 weeks. I'd to suggest Giffarine Fertilizers to my relatives and visiting them :)

I won't come back before 26th if I don't have any urgent job in Bangkok. Anyone wanna contact me, please do it by phone. (The internet there is real slow and I don't have ADSL at my moms)
