Flash-Selenium : 30k.. WooHoo…

09Nov09

I’m so thrilled that Flash-Selenium has recorded 30,000 + visitors as of today. Man! I remember posting in Feb that we hit 10k and it has hardly been a year since. I see huge prospects for this tiny little thing!

A fun team is a healthy team…

30Oct09

Yesterday I got a chance to catch up with my ex-team and on the way back home I realised that there were some qualities that made those guys so special. It definitely isn’t that they’re highly talented, technically very sound or know some cool stuff(s) which always makes you wanna give an ear to what they say. It is that we always shared a good laugh together. Yes! It is that simple.

I’m proud to say that I’ve been part of two such great teams at ThoughtWorks. I am quite unsure of what the future holds for me in months to come but I definitely know for sure that a team that has a smile on their face when things look bleak is a team that I want to be part of.

Hmm.. Interesting piece of information. Ain’t sure about the credibility of this but I found it rather interesting.

It might be stupid, but that’s just me!

02Oct09

There are some things that I religiously follow. Some are stupid, some make no sense, but these are the things that make ME. Things like

1. Make note of all the emergency exits when I enter any public place

This one is quite weird, but I don’t know why I end up forcing myself remember all the emergency exits when I enter a public place. I think this somehow accounts to my weekend travels. Everytime I board one of those KSRTC buses, I take some time to figure out where the exits are. Crazy, but hey, coming across so many casualties on that dreaded road it is just wise to be prepared for the unexpected.

2. Take some time to pray whenever I see an ambulance pass by

I don’t exactly remember why this one started, but I ain’t complaining. It always makes me feel good that in some way I care for people around me who I don’t even know.

3. Clearing my TEMP folder(s) too often

This one is ridiculous. I “have” to stop doing this. I overdo it, to an extent that my Window Manager actually crashed when I went ahead and did a force delete on the contents of /tmp.

I’ll stop now before it gets out of control. And, there has been an addition to this endless list

n+1. Make sure I speak/IM to everyone that I really miss… everyday.

Might prove an annoyance… but, hey, that’s just me!
