Hail Indiblogger

How do we measure the success of an event?? by the number of people attending it?? by the enthusiasm they carry!! By the smile they wear while leaving…

The Hyderabad Blogger Meet was no exception… When I read “1 minutes of fame” in the agenda, I thought it would be something akin to “30 seconds of fame” as in AXN!! Well, to my dismay, (and to my happiness too) it turned out to be the ice-breaking session wherein everyone had to fame their blogs (and themselves)!

It’s good to notice how everyone of us, despite being so different from each other, have a common platform to share.. Some sophisticated ppl named it blogging!!

The auditorium was full of people ranging from studens to business men to recruiters.. it had enthusiasm of the juvenile as well as the experience of the mature… A great combination of ppl from all walks of life with varied interests… From geeks to adoholics, from psychologists to mosquito enthusiasts, everyone had their unique (read interesting) reasons to join the world of blogging .

The comment reading session, wherein they had selected some comments from various blogs and the person owning the blog had to do the IndiBlogger Jig, showed great efforts on their part.. How can we forget Microsoft, for they hosted the meet.. I got to see the huge Microsoft campus and enjoy the ambiance there [as a by-product].

Then there was a session about the Windows Live Writer , a great blogging tool from Microsoft, meant for Windows users (sorry Linux and Mac ppl). Though it seems to be a great piece of software, I still prefer to use the WordPress interface..[Its like giving a flying kiss to your beloved when you can actually do it ]

As the session concluded, everyone had a great experience, which was pretty evident from their faces!! Great work by the team Indiblogger…

p.s. You can see the pics of the event here.

There are some things that can’t be fixed; For everything else, there is Photoshop

Software Development Life Cycle

There was this mid term demo of our mini project today… It was fun… the presentation part of it; the demonstration part of it and the preparation part of it.

I believe this is the way we bridge the gap between the industry and the academia… this goes beyond all those books, lectures (lecturers too ) I enjoyed every bit of it…

It’s about learning things on our own, putting up various knowledge together to make something more powerful in terms of usage (this reminds me of Cluster Computing)… Its like joining pieces of woods to make a boat and the final result is not just a collection of woods, its much more than that!!

I now know why do they call software development a “life cycle“… the work that goes behind the scenes is worth everything… Trying to make things work, managing time, working in a team for the overall cause, managing people, making sure that everything is just right… It brings the best out of you..

Well… I am now looking forward to my seminar, due this Friday… I hope to enjoy that too..

Moments to cherish

Hey all, we celebrated Sandeep’s Birthday toda.. though it was not as violent as mine!!

here goes the pic…No rewards for guessing who is the b’day guy!!

Birthdays here are typically quite violent…with all those bumps…water all around…Cakes seem to increase the face value rather than fulflling appetite!!

College: Our seminar has already started…those presenting, have tough time answering the questions fired..
