If you stay in Bangalore, dont plan your day by the minute specially if you are to travel in the city, definitely plan extra hours and not minutes for getting anything done!

Wow!
I had planned to reach home by 2000 hrs today and plans from there on at home, incidentally I reached home at 2115 despite leaving office at 1915!!!
2 hours to travel 33kms! Imagine the speed of travel!

Just a comparison, it had taken me about 35 miutes to travel 35 kms from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem! Are we really going to sustain our growth if most of the working population of the country spends more hours in traffic than at work?
Authorities...please do something and do it fast...dont just make plans and put things in the "pipeline."

Funny error message

Ok it has been quite a long time since I posted anything at all..
Though I did write a few drafts and deleted them, thought I'd rather live in the present and not be sadistic to the reader, talking about things long lost!

Anyway, enough of crap...
Let me get to the funny parts!
Most of you know I dont really love my manager, rarely..
So its not really difficult to imagine my feelings when he's seen around my desk more often than not.
I was writing an interesting piece of code and was in my elements and so...
I ended up doing (not really unintentionally this time though) what I always used to do when I was in college.
Report errors to the user of my software in a rather not so polite manner.
Actually there was a place in the software where the user was supposed to enter a file name to retrieve some info from that file.
And an error message was to be displayed when he entered an invalid file name.

Now tell me how glad you would be to use software which gives you an error message saying,

“Incorrect file name! Why don’t you read the user’s guide properly? If you can’t do that you don’t deserve to use this software. Go to hell!”
This just popped up when my Manager was reviewing the code and testing it!

My team mate fell out of her chair laughing…
If only I had foreseen this happening....
There'd have been a lot more in that error message for sure!

On a day like today...

A day when I feel like bringing out my middle finger to everybody around me.
Wow..
The tormenting SIGSEGV is gone, but the new teachings from the new life are showered all around and I've spent the day in saving myself from getting wet!

The Great booming _ Industry!!!!

(I am removing keywords to save my soul)

The great jobs...
People aspire and dream for them...I say "fuck them"

Surprised??

ok I will say it louder and clearer to dampen that surprise

"FUCK THEM"

yes...that's true.
You should not examine things and learn...
All you should try to learn is how to copy and paste stuff.
Why think of a better solution when one already exists?
Why think afresh when you can copy from what another man has done.
You cannot be better than the other person.
They say that to me...
TO ME!
People who are supposed to share responsibilities happily say-
If it is an achievement - "We did a great job on that one!!"
And if it is a minor mistake - "You could have done better" or "Why did you do it that way?"
I only reply with a smile to the couple of statements mentioned above...
And that's exactly what I feel when I face such statements...I smile to myself completely awed by the chivalrous acts that I get to witness. :)
Was it my laziness or was it just plain ignorance that led me to these slumps?
No...that's not happening.

I will be back.
