Awake

No! I was not sleeping or forgot the fact that I need to write something here. Every week I tried to post and I was not able to. Held up on certain things! Lots to write from my side of the month. But to begin with here is a coffee code conversation with one of my colleague here. He marched to the white board and wrote this,

{
printf("suresh\0kumar");
printf("12345\06789");
}

doesn't it look simple. try your C skills on this. Solution at the end.

In my office one can see the friendly chameleon sketches stuck in many walls. Some even started coloring them with their own style. :) The SUSE hack week started this Monday (June 25th). Look this video of how it really started :). I was just reading & listening to some of the ideas. They looked cool hacks.

An interesting thought struck me yesterday night. Most corporate citizens have X allowance and Y allowance, so here is one to include in that boring list. "Auto Allowance" - applicable for Bangalore makkal alone. But now the question arises how will you reclaim this allowance, since the Finance dept will ask for the bills. I have a suggestion for that too. Install prepaid tickets issuing counters at very close proximity (say every BMTC Bus stop). Let it be automated, where we type in and get the ticket. Also pay the autowala with the prepaid amount. But how will you be sure of the genuineness of the tickets. Suggestions?

Next bloggers around me were really active and wrote many. Out of them few I found interesting like this and this and this. I had been very dormant when compared.


I saw Shivaji on the 3rd day, Our Super Star is back at his best. A through full time entertainment of 180 mins. Vivek's comedy, Music, screenplay, dialog, theme everything was good. For a fan its eternity after watching this film. A nice review was here and here

solution: suresh12345789
because 067 is ascii equivalent of 7 in octet.

I walk alone I walk alone

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But its home to me and I walk alone


The number that I have been recently hearing. Or I start realizing that its really happening. Yes indeed its happening right here. Everyone are opening their next chapters of life. The new chapter is not the same for all, everyone having them differently. Finally all are left alone with different things. Now there are more people who move out of Bangalore than they come inside to bangalore. Its only a hand full of we guys who had stuck together for a long time! would continue too...



Listen to the beautiful song!



I walk a lonely road... This song recently played in Novell Annual Day, by few of my friends here. Best of the music performance given for that evening. Yes, it was fun all through the 20 days to Novell Annual Day preparation. I staged 2 dances one was from "Don", the other was "Where's the party tonight". It was great feeling for me, now that because of this I came to know more people in and around me. Also, I have a long awaited company during the journey in office cab in the slogging hosur road traffic. I got a MP3 players as an annual day goodie!



P.S: Finally I embedded music also to my blog. Song source here
Update: Just be careful, Don be over involved in this song. It can break friendship! Or you might really walk alone! :)
