Thiruvilayadal - Nagesh Sivaji Comedy - Tamil mp3

Just like many others, I spend almost 70% of my time in front of my computer – coding. I got used with listening to music while I am at it. It helps me a lot by preventing any external distractions especially when I am doing tasks which are repetitive, not involving much of any thinking process. A friend of mine once gave me a bunch of S.Ve Shekar and Crazy Mohan drama’s in mp3 format and I seriously...

What is Horrible? Huh?

I was googling about my previous company for hunting down an ex-colleague of mine. Though I could not actually find him on the results, I found the following within the first 50 results:Job Seekers say:http://www.indianjobreviews.com/showcompanyreviews.php?CompanyID=35Client’s say:http://www.flixya.com/post/reinalliance/807662/Perils_of_Outsourcing_Web_Design_Photon_Infotechhttps://post.complaints.com/post.php?followup=6&original_id=165836General...

Stop staring at my desktop!!!

I don’t know if it is just me who feels this way, but I hate it when people at work peep into your monitor especially when you are reading your emails. I think it is unethical and just portrays a person’s ill manners.It is fine if I invite someone to see something, but I just can’t stand people staring at my desktop, seeing what I am typing. It is each one’s private space. Please don’t freaking invade...

Questions… Projects… - my two cents on it

A few years back, I happened to hear a glorified programmer advising his self-proclaimed sidekick how important it is to ask lesser questions to technical stakeholders/business users about the project or technology that they are working on.I couldn’t disagree more! He was arguing that one should ask “smart” questions and should never let the other person think we do not know anything about the business.There...

Release Process !?!

Two days back, my teammate had to release to production a minor code change he made to one of the web modules. Since we both were new to the release process followed by the client, we were given a small briefing about it.We first have to release the change to a common dev environment, where it will reside till the peer review and internal testing is completed. Then we had 3 documents to be meticulously...

Songs from the Tamil Movie - Anne Anne

Quite often when I get bored with new music, I delve into my collection of old mp3 songs. Quite common for people to do so, nowadays, with almost all the mobiles coming with an mp3 player - you have complete access to any music you want.Yet, there are times when you would want to hear a particualr song from a particular movie, which, unfortunately, not many would have even heard of. One such movie...

iTunes Music Stuttering Issue

Very recently I encountered this problem with iTunes. I was running iTunes v 7.6.0.29. I was syncing my iPod classic 80 Gig fine for almost 6 months, after which I connected my new iPod Shuffle – that is when I noticed the problem. All the songs in my iPod shuffle played like a bad CD with garbled noises and kept skipping all the songs after trying to play it for a couple of seconds.I then realized...

Online Groups/Discussion board ethics

I recently joined this http://groups.google.com/group/DotNetDevelopment Google groups hoping to share my knowledge and also to get some of my own doubts clarified. I posted a technical question with my piece of code showing where I was badly stuck and I got a decent and exact answer from the moderator himself. I thanked him and posted the new code. FWIW, someone else following it up might...

Why I hate Sun T.V.

I have never been a fan of SUN network and if there is anything that they did – It was to start a television network at the right time and nothing more. It was the time when Doordharshan was the only available mass television channel which was drowning in complacency. DD1 and DD2 had managed to earn so much hatred from the people that they were ready to strike anytime. This is when locally formed...
