The Ultimate

With a fifth defeat in the last seven Tests looming Ricky Ponting is getting desperate and is suffering from just the same pressure that he hoped would derail England in this series. One number is worth remembering: so far, in fifteen innings on this tour, England´s bowlers have conceded more than 309 runs just once (that was in the 1st Test): the lead is already well past that and the pitch is showing signs of uneven bounce and some life. It is doubtful that even scoring 500 in the second innings Australia could save this match now and, so far, they have not managed that in the series even when not under pressure.

There are two things evident from this series.

1) UDRS does not solve any problems and if it does then it creates new problems as well;

2) Ponting should hang his boots after this series is over. I really could not understand Australia’s obsession with keeping Pontin

Ponting is living in denial. the Team composition is flawed.No where in the world people will accept Shane Watson as an opener, in-spite of the recent successful run he has enjoyed.Phil Hughes is still raw and needs more Sheffield exposure.Ricky is more bent on saving his trusted lieutenants career at the cost of his own. Australlia need to look at klinger, cos grove, Rogers as a stop gap arrangement.

Can’t understand why Stephen Smith is No 6 Batsman of Australia. If they need a fifth bowler why haven’t they picked up a specialist spinner. Never seen such a stupid decision from Australian Selectors before.

I love seeing the aussies getting worked over. No questions about that. If I remember right, wasnt Ricky the guy who wanted the fielders word to be taken as gospel in doubtful situations. I wonder why he started his lil tirade when all the technology proved the catch wasnt a catch at all.

I am disgusted at Ponting’s behavior today. What this shows the next generation of kids taking up the game is that its ok to argue the toss with officials. As “voluntary”level 2 umpire in another sport, i can only hope that the ICC throws the book at Ponting and gives him a holiday from the sport.

when i was thinking ponting is about to loose ashes, his captaincy & his place in the playing 11, he himself is adding his integrity to his loosing streak… he is the same guy who kept on saying that the fielder’s say should be the final say for a clean catch & not that of an umpire’s or whoever’s. here is the same guy who is not at all interested in accepting the umpire’s or the 3rd umpire’s who infact watches the replay again and again closely on a tv. i don’t know why people still call him the best captain… may be successful, but that happened because of the players & definitely not his captaincy.

It is time for the history to repeat itself after about forty years. Bill Lawry was sacked before the end of ASHES series. Ian Chappel took over. That was a new beginning for Australian cricket. Ponting has to go before Sydney test. Sadly Ponting has disgraced himself.

It is quite normal for Ponting to react the way he did, Old habits die hard

Mark Reinhold, Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle, accepted in his September 8th blog that the current timeline for the release of Java 7 is a tad unrealistic, and that a full increment release shouldn’t be expected until the middle of 2012.

I am pretty much afraid my career in JAVA again with the lack of interest from the ORACLE guys and with james gosling leaving the entire java team due to indifference with ORACLE. The Future is goint to be RIA and JAFX has not even started looking at the ground where as Flex has started to rule the world.

But that said, I look forward to whatever Java 7/8 bring. Java and the JVM have had a profound impact on computing. It has most every major paradigm within its community today, much like Lisp does.

I hope that Oracle will duely step up to the plate.

Microsoft has refused to publicly comment about the leak but, if it’s a fake, it’s very good one. I wonder if the tab bar will spill over on to the next line like floated elements in css. Also there is no bookmarks bar or status bar

I just work these days only to bring change.

A Great leader

A great leader is one who is true to his heart than his mind, who can make things work through heart in all environments and angle.

A great leader can handle resource which are not capable of even coding a single line and who does not quit at any wee.

A great leader is a great physiologist, one who can turn into anything depending upon the situation. If he is interacting with a child, he will think and play the coins according to that child minds than his mind. The greatest challenge is changing a person to what we require, there might be some good , bad and attitude programmers, a great leader is one who brings all these to square one.

A great leader is one who does not show his attitude towards his team, instead he focus and makes other also to focus on the programming language and show their attitude in the programming language.

Ex: If the language like Java does not allow you to program as you like, a great leader always asks their programmer to show their attitude in it such that making java itself flexible. This requires genious level of thinking to overcome Java strubborn in their pattern itself.

1. How are you going to hanle a project when the resource allocation is limited or low?

Start the project like a tortise by giving training to all and make the project end up like a rabit. Its something like when the resources are low, you need to make or bring your team members mind into Agile.

2. How are you going to handle when your team lacks basic programming knowledge itself?

The situation is complex, and you need to give them the confidence, encouragement at every level at the same wee handle your elite programmers to completer their task. A example is to teach him programming and appreciate them even if they have achived nothing. This can quickly turn them into elite ones.

3. How to handle if both of the above at same instance?

Become a singleton class. That is you should able to take up the 60 percent of project on your head along with other tasks too, and let your team create instances of your knowledge and implement them at lowest level. You should never change at any point of wee. In more simpler words a great leader can only finish out the project into success in such situation

A great leader should have a vision of Bagat singh following the path of Mahatma Gandhi

A great leader is a great human being respected by all ends. Mahatama Gandhi, Abdul Kalam sir [My college day's professor] could suit my article though they were not from IT industry.

Yesterday when i and Gaurav Peters were having some drinks, we had some arguments as well as good debates on various things. A result of that is a article in my blog.

Today my article will jowl on Software Industry change as most of readers belong to this.

After being in the industry for some years, i have faced dead challenges with no scope of coming out of it but yet being successful.  I always wanted to work as i feel, but always bend like Obama who did to Japan Prime minister.

Change is not possible in a day or two, it needs a lot of sacrifice like self respect, hiding your identity, pay, work load everything and come up successful. This para above might confuse many, at the bottom line its simple success at your end of work and changing something which you felt it should be.

Its always impossible to change the government or management as the voices of many are always deaf. Instead of shouting, why don’t you change. Every person if changes in a company will make the whole company itself change. Hmmm… visually seeing its impossible, but practically nothing is impossible. Again this sentence might confuse many, but again it speaks.

Before anybody criticize, ask yourself this question, was there a better alternative? No plan is perfect, it’s easy to pick out faults, but harder to bring to table a better alternative. The stimulus may not work, but the alternative, i.e. not doing anything, will be disastrous. We are already seeing green shoots in the IT Industry and I ain’t too happy for personal reasons.

Yep, when the chess pieces change, the game changes. You can’t expect the game not to change, and keep referring back to when the pieces interacted differently with eachother, dragging that into today’s geopolitical landscape. It’s a fast paced geopolitical landscape out there, and noone is looking back

Today as usual sitting at my desk, i was wondering why do many programmers get less respect and sometimes pretty harsh and foolish comments like ” Do you know programming?” All blah blah…

Apparently if you can read some sloppy, malformed pseudo-code thrown together by an idiot marketroid with no knowledge of programming you must be a total loser.

Apparently all programmers have no lives, look like characters from Revenge of the Nerds and can barely function in the society without help of their cooler friends or co-workers.

We have real college degrees (BS, MS often a PHD) rather than the fake diplomas given out by business schools. Not only that, but we create and control the technology they depend on. We maintain their machines, and facilitate their communication. Without us, they would have no Facebook, no iPhone and no Youtube. And yet, somehow we are considered inferior and undesirable.

Seriously, who is more of a valuable member of society? Someone who develops innovative free software on their free time? Or someone who spends all their free time watching reality TV, can’t figure out how to set time on their VCR, owns a computer which is part of at least 3 different botnets? Apparently the former is a freak that needs to be shunned, while the later is an upstanding pillar of society.

• Lets suppose you have something which you don’t want anyone to know and may be you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place though. if you really need such kind of privacy then stop using Google. The reason is google does retain information for some time for their crap advertising programs and luring investors in it. We all are subject to our constitution and its law and may be its possible your information could be made available to the authorities.
• Google has opened up its own, free, public DNS server. The sales pitch is that their DNS server is faster than your ISP’s, and therefore, you will save a ton of speed browsing the Web using their DNS server. Fair enough. But something occurred to me, just as I was about to change my DNS setup here to use it… do I trust Google to have a history of every DNS lookup I make? Umm… not really. I note that the service’s privacy policy says that my IP address will only be logged for 24 hours (makes sense, given the prevalence of dynamic IPs anyways). But it also says that the service is compliant with Google’s primary privacy policy. And we all know what that entails… “anything and everything”. And of course, Google is always free to change the policy without notice or warning.
• Google has been trying to launch more and more “Free” services. These are targeted directly at collecting, tracking, and analyzing people online. Why? So they can sell

• a) More ads or
• b) Have the largest marketing database known to man which they can
• c) Create more false free products and further collect data or
• d) Sell that information to third party companies

Maybe they are leaving China because the government there decided to replace Google Ads with China government ads. Hey, why not. China controls the internet in their country (although I don’t agree) but if Google can replace someone elses ads in Street View – China can do it with Google.
