Experimenting at work

January 28, 2010   Filed Under: Job, Robocity Leaders, Updates   343 words

The other two Leaders and I are trying to experiment a bit with new ways to get in touch with or fellow Robocitans and mantain the city with the resources we have.

It’s like when we do a market research online: we need to get quality consumer data to be able to improve our politics and decisions regarding marketing and finance administration. Robocity is our hands, and obviously you can understand how much work we Leaders have on our hands when it comes to keep it all balanced. We need to keep track of the citizens’ consumes to understand what we need to do to improve the city’s overall well-being AND mantain everyone in a decent living condition.

Even online, we Leaders are going to setup a consumer panel to get our citizens to share more about their feelings and dis/satisfaction about the services we provide the rest of the crew with.

Personally, I’m going to experiment a market research panel (like uSamp) on a section of my website and involve the other Leaders and a few Robocitans as testers. If needed, we’ll start getting more feedback from the citizens ONLINE rather than offline, since over the years the population has grown a lot, and it would be impossible to reunite all of them in the Meeting Room; nowaday every Robocitan has a computer with a Internet connection, so it’s going to be a lot easier to get feedback this way.

Also, we’re developing a series of websites that have the precise purpose of keeping our citizens informed about every little and big event and decision that involves the city and our little community.

Granted, we’re going to need the Robocitans to collaborate on this project, but hopefully they will do it willingly. :) This should be exactly what we needed in so many years.

Robocity can’t close its heart

I’m amazed at the big number of robots who recently became Robocity citizens! :) This must be the greatest record in all our town’s history, and I’m really happy that the other two Leaders agreed when I proposed to re-open the immigration process! Now poor and scrapped robots can find a refuge in Robocity again, just like our beloved Founder had wanted in the first place.

What would Robocity ever be without its open heart to the ones in need? This town was born for that purpose, and thus closing the doors to immigrants would be killing it at its very heart. No, Robocity just CAN’T close. Never.

Actually, I hope more Robocitans are going to join in the next months. Yes, I do hope that, because only more citizens can make this city grow up and mature at its own core. AND we welcome human beings too! They would need other permissions too, but you see, human beings are not kicked out of here: our Leader Shotfire, for instance, has a human girlfriend and a human adopted son, and they’re sweet people to cohabit with. I really have nothing against humans, and I hope others in Robocity think alike too.

Anyway, I’m off to sleep now. Tomorrow I got to go out and buy a few chevy accessories for a friend, so I need to wake up early.

See ya.

Tiredness and other things

January 22, 2010   Filed Under: College, Daily Life, Job, Updates   348 words

Okay, now I have officially managed to take a day off my job. Gosh, I’m so tired =_= I may just faint right on my desk and keyboard right now. I’m so freakin tired. This week has been crazy between daily work, classes and assignments, and I’ve always ended up in bed after midnight or 1AM on some days. I’m drinking too much coffee lately to keep awake and work, but I can no longer stand these rythms. ._. I need a vacation… *sigh*

Anyway, I’m considering that I should probably sell used books from the past school years. They’re piling up on my shelves, eating up precious room for other books and other things, and since I don’t even read them anymore, they’d better switch homes and be of use to someone else. So if you’re from Robocity and you need the books, just catch me at my apartment or at work, or send me an email. If I don’t get to sell them here in town, I might just try to sell them on sellbackyourbook.com: THEY pay the shipping, so I wouldn’t be spending a cent. AND I would get cash frheom it (on PayPal). Hehe. :) The site looks simple to use too, so college students wouldn’t find it difficult to sell their old books through it. These services are a life-saver, really.

Anything else? Oh yeah, I’ve finally watched Avatar. :D That movie rocks! I would love to meet a Naa’vi alien someday in an alternative universe, ahah! They’re so cute, and they kind of remind me of Andorians, like my friend Thesh of the Prime family. :) I think their beliefs and religion are deeply touching too, and it would be lovely if they really existed, because I’d love to talk to them about that stuff.

Oh well, I’m day dreaming too much now. Off to take a short nap before watching a DVD.

Sayonara!
