I’m Ken and I am…

November 27th, 2009 post by ken

a member of messaliberty.  The newest member in fact.  You might have seen me making a guest appearance in messa.tv episode 008

Anyway, as a team we’ve decided to post to our blogs more frequently at last meeting. Our boss has agreed to treat us to nice yummy cakes if we post good entries and get good reputation so that please bookmark or comment on my posts :)

I have one topic in mind to write about but I thought my first post would be the ideal place to introduce myself (and probably no one knows me yet).

So, my name is Kenichiro Kanechika, and my nickname is “Kenichi-Uji” named after Japanese cartoon. The guys here gave me it, and I think it has a certain ring to it :)

I love to travelling overseas and am especially keen on Chinese spoken areas. I’m planning to travel to Taiwan soon!…and Macao as well :) I’m love the friendliness of Chinese people.

The most influential job I have ever experienced was running my own internet shop… I was selling asian lamps back then. Though I had started that business almost without much thought, I was in charge of almost all tasks such as buying items from overseas, negotiating, custom clearance procedure, customer support, order management, stock management, web design, marketing and advertising, etc etc, I learnt to see the overview of business and develop a sense of cost performance as for money and time. The thing is, I didn’t make much money with that business lol

I quit working at a web design company and started working at messaliberty around Jul 2009…by chance(!) Well, I will write about web direction and the internet and PC and so on…

Hope my posts will appeal and interest you, and don’t forget to help me get cake! ;)

We are a small team but even so there’s quite a mix of interests, personalities and even food tastes amongst the members of messaliberty.

One reason I joined messaliberty was that I would have an opportunity to learn more things in my chosen fields.  Usability, IA, online marketing and so on. Learning by doing is a big part of working at a start-up.

I asked the team what skills they are looking to learn and master.  Here some of things they mentioned.

Learn programming tips each other

A coder writing some code

A coder writing some code

Like Ian wrote at this entry The freedom to learn new things, we’re always learning new things. It’s a really important thing working in this industry and can’t improve our products without it. Umm, let me tell you my feeling. It’s really fun, isn’t it!?

Today I’ll tell you one example of what we do. We did a programming event to show everyone how you write some code.

A coder writes some code. Another people watch it and ask some questions to the coder. That’s it. Quite simple. This process can help us to learn how another programmers solve problems or what kind of a productive programing environment does the coder use.

The picture above is our friend’s code. He is a great programmer so we all could learn lots of things during his coding. Thanks!

And one another good point of this event, we can get tons of cookies and chocolates. :P

If you’re a programmer, join us next time even if you’re not in Japan.

I met a debugger in nature at our office balcony on November 7th, 2008.
She(or he) was hiding at the balcony and keeping debugging for our office.
From that time, she joined us for a debugger.
She debuged everyday(…. sorry not everyday…, I often forgot to feed her….).
I debbuged everyday.
Debug! Debug!! Debug!!!
