Web Application or Business Intelligence?

Wow feels like forever but i feel blogging today after months of being swamped with work non-stop (sarap!).

Last March 2007 I was tasked to research about Pentaho. It's the Open Source Business Intelligence Software powered by java. After a week or two I was back again in web development. Until last week I was asked by my boss if given a rating one to ten how can I rate myself with pentaho. I answered him one?! Stick out tongue yeah, I know it's almost as good as zero but after experiencing Pentaho it's just to broad to my perspective to installation to usage of data mining, reporting. Honestly I rated myself one because I don't know what kind of problems am I going to solve with Pentaho. It was like I was given a "thing" and I'm trying to describe it as best as I could but without any actual problem to try it on. Of course I could have ask If I could at least try but then I felt my passion was not in creating reports but in the whole web development creating solutions with the web and the Internet. I just love the whole web development It's like an art in which you let anyone see and admire or critic. (sigh!)

Maybe I'll give Pentaho another chance after I satisfy my web development hunger. Stick out tongue
