delicious finally reaches my blog

It is being real long time that I am try'g to crack something to bring my delicious favorites automatically in my blogroll, Indeed I tried writing some php script too, and was parsing the RSS feed given by delicious to keep it sync'd with my blog, okay yes it did worked, But somehow I didn't liked it, as no one else was able to use that php, as it was residing on my server, and just now delcious has launched this beautiful thing Now have a look at my blogs right side links, they all come LIVE from delicios
I am loving it :)

All silent sorround

I live in a big condominium and it have around 1000 apartments, I am sitting near pool since 10pm and havn't seen even one human being, in a while I jst hear some foot step sounds and most of the times it is just no one or sometimes maybe a cat around, it surprises me sometimes that what the heck all the people do, okay yeah most of them do the day job, but so do I am...

externalization headache

It seems that lately I am suffering because of a top secret between me and god, 6 months back I architected the project in which I suggested lot of externalization, well yeah I was not wrong externalization if possible is always good for big monsters, but this one seems to be asking for more of maintenance effort than I can see its advantages, now even a small change require me to make sure that corresponding exernalization module is also sync'd, and this externalization is used till now ONLY once, and trust me those configuration files are getting really a issue by development team(not me :-) ) and it really worries me sometimes that whole thing might come down one day, I wish meta data feature of tiger was released in mantis than I would have been really able to keep this effort real less, And this time I would have surely tried my dream feature, meta tag with XPath, let me describe it little bit here, as most of the file size of configuration goes in describing mapping location, how about keeping a unique id with meta-tag and specify its corresponding xpath location with it ... sounds like a dream to me, I would really love to see if anyone has done anything like that yet, I can think of doing this by putting a preprocessor before compile, but I believe than there is no way we can avoid recompilation, than is it worth even doing the externalization :-) ?

del.icio.us is actually delicious

From past couple of months I have been using del.icio.us and initially had trouble with its URL too, What a meaningless URL, though there service rocks.
Someone last evening was testing a external hard-disk over my laptop and he saw these icons on my firefox bookmarks toolbar

And says, delicious, I was shocked, DAM how on earth I couldn't think this from past so many weeks, where is my mind staying these days.

Fight with loneliness is getting harder

Last complete week was really heavy over since I moved to this town on feb1st of this year. Initially it was okay, and since I always lived with friends or some room mates in the past, So this time I really wanted to see how tough it can be living alone, Initially it was alrite, but slowly it was getting tougher and tougher, initially hooking over the net or playing ps2 late nights really was working, but since last one month I am feeling like I have lost the energy to fight loneliness, This has become a normal routine for me to come back at home not before 11pm on weekdays so that I don't need to spend anytime alone, and on weekends it is being real tough now, sometimes I come back home, park my car 3 levels up and than really think what I am going to do at home, and than without deciding any destination I go back, This is what happend yesterday night, I came back around at 8pm back, and than without going in my apartment, decided to go back, than reached a theatre, saw which all movies are playing, I had seen all the hollywood movies playing there, So decided to see a movie Initial D which in cantonese but with english sub-title, came back home around 1am and couldn't sleep till another 2 hours and now having a serious headache and thinking should go office or no, This insominia reminds me about a nasty comment I left a week or so back on a blogger from mumbai where I was making fun about her insomnia ... But somehow even after passing all this, I am still preferring to stay alone than moving with any of friend I know of, As I really want to test the limits, also I think living loneliness gives you lot of energy, you can really use this energy to drive yourself way way ahead, though it doesn't seems to be working for me.

suffering from conjunctivitis

Tuesday morning just after getting up it was very clear that it is no normal tuesday, and doubt was correct I got conjunctivitis, and now wednesday morning my another eye couldn't resist and she also got this disease,
so off from work from past 2 days and now wearing dark sun glasses even in dark places like parking lot, etc and facing the strange looks.
In answer to some of the questions and comments about from where I got this, I have no idea, only thing I remember about monday was I readed Martin Fowler blog and felt really sorry for him that he got his some bones broken.

archive.org under attack: at last

It is being long time I am wondering how come no one is sue'g archive.org and here we go
I think it was very high probability of someone su'g them, as sometimes you really want to take this information offline, forever, but this guy really stick to it like gum and never leaving it off, indeed sounds like controversial concept, Though I would certainly agree that there are many advantages too it also at the same time...

PS: Photographs of amazon, yahoo, google I posted couple of days back was mined using archive.org (I forgot to specify in that post)
And yes, this news is courtesy slashdot

JBI revisited: It works

Okay I eat my words that I posted last time about JBI. It do work this time when I tried on a system with SJSAS installed, and indeed this is pre-requistee for JBI which I missed. Though run sample example don't work all smoothly and you need to edit the example ant file, but honestly one shouldn't expect things to be more smoother than this for the product which is just in version 1.0(that too from sun :-) )
Sample application I tried uses SunFileBinding, SunSequenceEngine, SunSOAPBinding & SunTransformationEngine.

Market is always much bigger than we think

Last nite I was hearing the interview from venture voice where Greg was interviewing Philip Kaplan of adbrite, Philip made a interesting point around the end of the podcast, he said google is getting like billions from his adword/adsense program but still it is not even 1% of total advertising money spent alone in US, So there is always a space for people.
To me make lot of sense, As I tend to sometimes go in numbers and calculate in terms of economics which mayn't be really correct always.
