Pasikat sa Quiz Bee - failed!

Filed in Random

Posted by Miss Honeul (Email Me)

Super busy ako ngayong week dahil sa dami ng ginawa sa school. Andaming activities after ng Prelim exam namin. Kami yung nag-host para sa Dicaa Math Quiz Bee and since “Top IT University” kami, kelangan namin panindigan. Kelangan high-tech din ang quiz bee proper so we decided to create a program instead of using the traditional quiz bee, yung nasa illustration board yung sagot. Ilang araw namin pinaghirapan yun, pinagpuyatan at kahit wala kami pasok talagang todo gawa kami lalo na yung head programmer namin.

Todo dry-run kami the night before ng event para ma-test ang program for errors or bugs. Nag-dry run rin kami uli before ang event, bago pumasok ang mga contestant and since wala naman kami nakitang error sa flow ng program, kampante kami na magiging successful ang event. Pero hindi nga ganon dahil on the spot, nung mag-start na ang quiz bee proper saka tinopak ang server database namiin (dun nakasalalay ang quiz bee program totally), an unknown virus suddenly infected the server so hindi nag-reresponse ang server namin. Damn, bakit kelangan mangyari yun sa oras na magsisimula na ang quiz bee. In effect, nagkagulo kami because we didn’t created a back-up server! So while they were troubleshooting the server, todo gawa na kami ng powerpoint for our contingency plan in case di mag-work ang program namin.

In the end, di rin namin nagamit ang pinaghirapan at pinagpuyatan namin. Hindi kami nagkaroon ng chance na ipagmalaki ang gawa namin, ang talino ng programmers sa AMA. So lahat kami, disappointed talaga sa nangyari. But naging successful naman dahil sa bilis ng encoder namin (and that was me ^^), nakagawa agad kami ng powerpoint para magamit. Then we used netmeeting para makita ng mga contestant ang presentation right on their computer screen. Naka LCD pa naman kami puro virus naman pala, lols.

Anyhow, tapos na. The goodnews is, we survived!

Summary: Never forget to back up your files! Contingency plans are important!
