All right, I promise to be more regular with this now, especially now that I can ;)
There have been quite a few developments lately. One of them is my website. Check out http://aditya.adotout.net. Its not very jazzy though, primarily due to my lack of expertise to make it jazzy. And also because I want to be able to see it through lynx/links.
I've been working a bit on x3270 which is a mainframe terminal emulator client. Planning to deploy and promote it in Infy. Its been a lot a fun and has been irritating at times. GUI programming has alays been irritating for me.
Other than that, I was confirmed as an employee of Infosys pretty recently. Which basically means that I completed one year out here.

Perhaps not an apt choice for the occasion, but I had never seen it before and I loved it!

A thousand questions were raised, not many answered. First, about teaching - in such a situation, do you teach for the lowest denominator or the higher one. Doing anything is going to unfair to the other category. But in this case, the whole problem is magnified to a huge extent. I obviously cannot rely so much on gr...

Dumb and dumber

I think I gave myself the proof that my dumbness is unparalleled. There are two independent queues in our canteen for getting food coupons. After waiting in the first queue, for some reason, I decided to spend another fifteen minutes in the second one. I realised my stupid mistake when I reached the counter and the lady asked me what I wanted. I said 'nothing' and proceeded to the food counter, leaving the lady wondering what the hell had just happened. It going to be difficult to beat this act of stupidity!
