Weekend 4 : SFO

Been, waiting to write a detailed post about it.. but just haven’t found time, and I don’t think I’ll find much more time later this week either. Friday : (photos)Drive to Silver line and California 1 on my boss’s Porsche, Concert at the famous Fillmore in SFO. Saturday 🙁photos) Trip to SFO, from Golden gate to Fishermen’s whart. Its simple an amazing city. Even managed to drive though the crooked street. Sunday : Mexican Party. Lovely food… and more lovely food + Movie in the night

Party with Inktomi

As most of you know, Yahoo! took over Inktomi, one of the leading search engine company. Today there was a party at work to welcome them to our company… though most of the part was food and booze, had a blast towards the end, when a water gun fight broke out.. got drenched in water. There were very powerful and strong water guns… and nice to meet some real nice bunch of people. Too bad, I could not rag any of them 😀

sick

its disgusting – how people try to impress their superiors at work – how they go out of the way to do things for them – how they celebrate their birthdays by throwing a huge surprise party – how they put the boss’s name in the status to impress them – how they manipulate things.. If you work in the some company as I am.. you know whom I’m taking about.

Letter I received today

Thanks in advance — I am hardly home, and whatever little I am, I work on my laptop or watch tv. Don’t know why the neighbor is so anal about it.

College Projects

My Project FAQ, seems to be getting a bit of attention lately. After it got posted here and here, people have started adding me in their buddy list. ( made a mistake of putting my Yahoo ID on the faq ). and you wont believe all kind of dumb questions people ask. One guy, actually says ” I’m doing my MSc at xxx places and I am thinking of working on a project on linux. Can you advice me on a topic, that is good and that can help me get a job in 6 months”. I just cant stand…

Weekend 3 : Had many plans and all of them bombed.

Was originally planning on a Skiing trip this weekend, and It was all planned. But thanks to the cricket match + Tons of work + Homework ( yep.. that’s right homework) , I had to pull off the trip in the last min. So I though I’d at least check out San Francisco this weekend, but thanks to the war protests, the whole place is a mess, and its impossible to drive though the city. I am not gonna talk much about the Cricket.. everyone knows about it.. I stayed up all night for it and slept most of the…

MT 2 LJ
