Code search laid to rest....

Buzz had died down, that was a while back... Wave was a still birth...

Now, something useful, Google Code Search, has been shutdown...

Going to miss you!

Un poema........

The poem, An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, by Yeats kind of captures my feelings towards my work.

I love programming, but somewhere along the line, the fun goes away. From then on, it is about the money, position et cetera.

I mean, I need the money. Seriously. WTF!

Still...


I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

New kid in town...

And it is called Buzz. Google buzz. buzzzzzzzzz.......

I fail to get excited. Or was it, I refuse to get excited? Is that so bad?

Why would my rants be of any interest to anyone else? Why would someone's rants be of any interest to me?

Damn. Oh well, I have the option of staying away!

Right. Shall exercise that.

By publishing online. Like this.

QED.

Ganymede to Galileo... to the moon and back...

Callisto to Europa to Ganymede to Galileo... The trend has been set... The next version of Eclipse is gonna be different... It is going to weigh more... Soon people will be forced to download a 500MB file as the IDE... and then the next version will be even bigger...

Great!!

Am loving it!!!

Thoroughly!!!!

RFC on TLAs...

Read one of the funny RFCs on TLAs...

Well... :-)

RFC-5513

Got a list of such RFCs here...

A new operating system...

Google building new OS, around a Linux kernel... Dunno how correct my understanding is! Ain't that more like a new custom distro?

Well, am no geek or a Google fan-boy!

Incorrect defaults...

Found out the hard way, after installing Fedora 11...

Have been running Fedora 8, decided to try the latest spin... and it won't let me choose the display resolution... but on its own it won't give me anything better than 800x600... WTF!

I mean, what the bloody f$#@ !

Am done with Fedora...

Switching to "linux for human beings"

And it at the very least allows me to set the display to 1280x1024, even if that ain't the native resolution of my CRT.

Cool... Peace... Bless!!!
