I guess jeremy_zawodny was right about the mini-bubble that is happening in the tech industry. All the companies are looking out for people to hire, Lots of new VC funding is going out, and most of all the the stocks are going up. Today Yahoo ( YHOO ) hit $30 mark.

As most of you know, this meets topic was OpenSource Databases. I learned more about databases in this 2 hours then what I have learned in the last one year. Started with botsie talking about Open source and how one should contribute back to the community which was followed with his introduction to RDBMS’s in Linux.

One year ago, we were a small start up, and now a full blown company ( I am talking about the bangalore…

Bad cold and cough is killing me. For the last 3 days, I havent been able to sleep in the nights coz as soon as I hit the sack, I start coughing… been only able to sleep after drinking tea at 6am everyday.. and this intern is screwing up my work schedule. When I do get to work, I am all sleepy, lazy and drowsy. Added to that body feels so dead these days. Been planning on going to gym, I should start sometime this week, else soon I will be a dead man.
