Saturday Star 2009-08-01 – Job Opportunities
August 3, 2009A first – topless lady on page M15 of this week’s The Star. Score one for non-imaginative (or sly) photographers!
- First off, Synergy is looking for 5 lead safety engineers and 3 lead process engineers. Visit the Synergy website for contact details. And safety specialists. Ah, heck. If you have more than 5 years experience in O&G, apply. If you have less than 5, send a donation to the offshore account, and still get abuse.
- Synergy Vietnam is apparently looking for process engineers. Visit their website.
- ExxonMobil is looking for Project, Construction/Installation, Cost & Schedule Engineer. I think the new Tapis platform is moving to the detailed design stage, eh? Anyone know who won the job? Apply here.
- Talisman is looking for a Rotating Equipment Eng. Apply here, and visit their site.
Here’s a new food place, run by a friend of mine. One6 kopitiamhas a mini-library inside the shop, my kind of place. Now, if it had the latest editions of O’reilly books… Think I’ll be stopping over there every time I get in on a late flight from KLIA, as it’s on the way home.
Some reflexology thoughts:
- If there are good pressure points on the soles of your feet, how do you know your masseuse isn’t hitting the bad points?
- If your body aches, you apply reflexology. If your foot aches, do you massage your body?

Design & Interfaces
August 2, 2009I was reading a book called The Inmates Are Running the Asylum. No, it’s not about Arkham Asylum, but takes on the view that despite appearances, business executives are not the ones in charge of the high-tech world, it’s the engineers running the show.
Currently, I’ve been looking at DCS screen shots, and was wondering how could we improve the displays so that the end user can reach their goals. Ideas that the book throws up are
- Interaction vs interface design
- Homo logicus
- Dancing bears(!)
- Design for personas
- Goal directed design
I think I’ll start throwing the above buzzwords around when we get the opportunity to design interfaces from scratch. Maybe get an industrial designer in, go in bold directions…
iTouch DCS anyone?

Client Offices – Pertamina WJ
August 1, 2009I was in Jakarta this week, and most impressed with the location of the offices for Pertamina West Java.
Pettamina WJ Offices
Now, if I get work at a price I like, I would have to say (deep breathing) impressive, most impressive…
