day of fckups

21-Oct-09

Sure has been one hell of day, today. Starting early to office just got me stuck in traffic for an hour. I burnt the whole day trying to get Roundup work with Apache. Then ended up deploying Bugzilla. And, bugzilla has a global numbering scheme for bug IDs. :-S Grr.. The entire drive back home, [...]

when it works, be happy that it does.

Refactoring code that is “running” fine, is the next biggest mistake that you can do. Especially when all you require is a 100+ line modification to get that bug fixed in the dirty way. The fact that it looks extremely ugly and that it could get worse when you try to hack a patch on [...]

Never (ever) drop a cheque on a Saturday. Especially when that cheque is going to make your negative bank balance, positive. Coz, all through Sunday you’ll end up seeing that ‘Cheques in clearing’ notification, over and over, inspite of knowing that banks dont work on Sundays :-/

06-Mar-09

LOL. That sure did sound like a realisation :P
I have been putting ‘porcupine tree’ away for a real long time now. Two previous attempts were futile. I found myself trying to list what I did not like in it. I was actually looking for things that I would not normally like. And, today I [...]

From ‘twitter’ to ‘identi.ca’..

26-Feb-09

The thing that got me hooked on to twitter was the ease with which I could update from a simple XMPP client. But then twitter’s XMPP updation service broke. I waited and waited. Things never got back to normal. I tried using the thirdparty XMPP gateways to twitter. They were good.. just not good enough. [...]

Yep, I am very much alive. :)
Just saw my bank balance drop to a three digit mark. Sighed. Smiled. Had a coffee watching the night sky. I know rescue is a phone call away. But, I am not giving up yet. Just not yet. I am gonna go through this thing to see how far [...]
