SYNCMYSITE HTTP/1.0
Late on a saturday - It is supposed to be a normal phenomenon - just that I wasn't expecting that. Woke up at 10:30 am (Cough!). Had my break fast and headed for office armed with some Gelusil tablets (to combat acidity when I get drowned in what I am doing). Wanted to pep up my web-site - added multiple style sheets - cool stuff, uploaded some photos. The CVS version I had (after the crash last march) does not have any of the heavy files - just the web-pages. Now I have allthe more a reason to keep yahoo from nipping my site off.

Dunno whats wrong - Yesterday Melvin called, today Nileesh and Jimson (my high school chums) whos going to call tomorrow ?

Yet another friday.
Some kinda flu or something. May be simple sleep deprivation. The whole body is phreaknig
out. Helping the other team fillout some stuff regarding estimation (I am making it appear too
difficult). Late for lunch (as usuall ?) - it was 4:45 when I had the lunch - survived on a few
biscuits till that time.

Pulled all 62 issues of phrack magazine from the site with - small things that can make you feel
better. My little new team mate is going phuttt with the new interesting work he had been given -
update some statuses in some kinda tracking tool - what a stuff to be given to a fresher. Actually
I've heard of wierder assignments given to freshers and those being justified by the people who give
them the stuff using the crazy idea that they are freshers and dont have an option
(!@#!!@##!@). There seem to be an ever growing population of this kinda nut-crates/ brain-dead
daMaGERS aka managers.

Had a call from Melvin antony - aka class mate - aka the tall guy who I kicked right on face in my
fifth sem (unknowingly, of course). Had to make a concious attempt to switch the context
and talk to him as I used to do in our college.

Among the good things that happened today is browsing the photos by Arun U-R from his recent Goa-Mangalore
trip on his Thunderbird.

.. The cautious dont live at all.
I've never been a risk taker in the usual sense. Recently in the movie 'Princess Diaries' i heard someone say -

The brave live short. The cautious wont live at all.

I am still to understand the difference between risk taking and foolishness(tm). Being pissed off by the "productivity concerns" for quite some while I got a boost when one of my US counter parts asked me why I had cut down the estiamate to do a certain work. That was all that was needed. The whole idea of cutting down the estimate came from my management who were the new-generation productivity concious people.

Frankly, I am bit scared of the probable out comes of mailing a (poor joke) technique to them based on my experience with the Ultima game. I suggested casting the 'Kal vas corp' spell to get some folks to do the work so that it wont cost the customer any (Hu)man hours.

I flee, therefore I am. Catch ya.

.... Vas Sanct Lor ! ... (pooof !)
