New Loan of Life

I'm engrossed in work and happily, the kind of work I like. This is a collaboration between us and the consulting folks and as far as I'm concerned, could not have come at a better time. We have three 'factions' in our world and we are most of the time at loggerheads with the other two. But so far, I'm impressed with the two specimens that I have seen from the other side. And as for them, I hope at least they get impressed by what we have developed and what we can.

My dreams these days are infested by the lines of code, so many of them that too. We've got lots to do till December.

Need of the Hour

I wish I had at least 36 hours in a day.

At Last

Andy Murray wins Wimbledon! And convincingly too! The sweet victory may have consoled Ivan Lendl also to some extent.

The Serious Case of Operators

In our world, one of the biggest trouble-makers are the AND and OR operators. People take them lightly or get confused and interchange them and create embarrassing or sometimes interesting(!!) bugs. It's all the worse when the creators happen to be veterans - as if the confusion is compounded over the years.

The kid has not taken the school well. I had to meet the teacher today who told me they would like to reduce her school hours from 3 to 2. I said fine. Actually it's my mother who is taking her crying very badly. When I was young I must've cried for one whole year but all I remember is the soothing words from Evelyn Teacher and not my mother. But now she's acting as if I'm the most insensitive mother in the world.

One of our friends is in the same boat - they went to the USA for a year but the kid is not getting used to the playschool. After hearing her father say that he would work from home, she said she too wanted to go to school being at home! Very sensible. :-)
