www.tanmaypatel.com is live now :)

Hello All,

I've owned my domain www.tanmaypatel.com a few months ago, and atlast it came in breathing state! Currently the site is only a sneak peek of what I want to have there. I've a few ideas to tryout there, so will be doing that in coming days.

So, this year has come to an end and another will start soon, and so it's again time to atleast thinking for recalibration of myself. Was not this much demanding from myself mostly as much as i'm for this upcoming year. I dont know what will happen in this coming year, and not even what I want.

One and mostly the last surprise of this year came today! Me and some of my friends at office was offered a position for a Team Leader. Unexpected announcement and I was amazed by that! Thnx for that sir. :)

In summary, last year was one of the great years of my life. Many things gained, identity changed somewhat, have seen and learned many things, getting narrow focused and i know it's not good for me, getting much more interest on reading, mostly technical, and cant get much of other things - TV, Games, Music, Mixing, Cricket, Gardens etc., they are almost loosing touch for me. Twitter is becoming more of live feed and interests then this blog. Many new things coming at technical side and want to taste of them.

So not much blah... blah... now. Want to close this blog in some days and move it on to my domain. So may be this is a last post here.

The other side of life!

Hello All,

Today I was just killing the time by looking at some old photos. Some great memories refreshed again. It was like a time travel!!! Technology today is helping to ease things which has played areal part in species survival - Archival.

So then came photos of my Bachelor Degree Certificate. It has been near one full year since my exams were over and I think I am in a totally different world then I was at that time. The year has passed in blaze. I still remember the first day when I have joined my office. The excitement, the passion, the relief all were just great. I've new friends now, some of the old ones still there. I have become kind of "Responsible". I've never thought the things will change this fast. This professional life is kind of flip side of life I had at that time. No one was there to ask if we bunk the class, we always had other chances if we miss the "deadline", we were able to do whatever came to our mind - watching movies, going for outages, or even noon naps. Just pure fun it was.

Now I have to first think about the work I'm doing, which I've to give a higher priority then myself! (or I say me made to think that way ;) ). How will I be able to manage my precious leave quota? Will I be able to go for a dinner or a movie today? Now my "performance" should matter more to me then Indian Cricket Team's, or Ferrari's, or Shawn Michaels'. Today is Independence day or Republic Day of my country. It shouldn't matter to me, cause it doesn't matter to U.S.!

Anyways, if we already know how our next day be then we wouldn't have been here or even the life wouldn't have been this spicier or surprising :)

tanmaypatel.com

Hello all,

just bought a new domain name for myself - tanmaypatel.com

Anyways, thnx to my mummy for facilitate me for this domain. She is GREAT.... :)

Storming in my mind are custom site, custom blog theme, custom email address... :P Whoaaa... chance to show off of my "design" twist thr...

Another Sunday.... Passed Away!!!

Now I'm in love with Sundays more than i've ever before. No early wake up, no worries and no work. And specially no plans to be followed. In whole week, thank god, the sunday seems me the longest day.

Now it's more than 6 months at my job and i've learned a lot during these days. My skillset has improved. My thinking is changed. The only thing I don't like is it just ties me in a routine. I remember that, while I've started my job, I was told to learn some new things and I just loved to do that. But currently it seems to me that it's changed. Cause now at the end of the day we've to give the clients something that makes them happy. Anyways, it's part of the job ofcourse. As I'm getting more experienced, i'm getting to know new things and want to learn them, but on the other side getting less time out of the projects day by day. I think this may be happening to all the IT guys cause the world changes considerably in few days and we all have to keep up with it.

Btw, the sunday talk got on the side ways... :p. so, I keep the sundays to learn them. But every sunday, like this one did, just goes away in relaxation. Even if i start learning something till the other sunday comes i find some other interesting thing and i go behind it. And i think, this is better for me cause, it just dont tie me up to have interest in a single thing but I can fondel any thing that i find interesting. may be if I push those effort to a single platform, I can be an expert of it at some time. But ofcourse then it would be same as doing a project which is like going to a destination, we know where we want to go and not "surfing" the internet. So thnx to web apps to be my ride.

Anyways, the post is getting more philosophical now so time to say goodbye.

Ubiquity

Hello All,

somewhat technical side today. I was going here and thr on the net as usual, and i came across a Mozilla project called - Ubiquity. At a glance, it is a simple firefox plugin that allows us to do simple, day to day things with a few key strokes. No need to go to different sites or open different applications to do these things. They call it - User Generated Mashups. Nothing special at first sight, and rather seems geeky, but a few things done and it sounds just awesome. U'r on the same page and can do a lot of things without leaving that page.

Just chk that out at - http://tinyurl.com/5rm9k8 (this tinyURL stuff was done using it :), and i'm still writing this!!! ).

I think now only thing besides an Operating System, what people need is a 'GREAT' browser and ofcourse the Internet.

I'm an Official Engineering Graduate Now... :)

Hello All,

Yesterday was one of the special days of my life. I've got my B.E. Certificate. Ofcourse i'm one of many but, still it's special to me.

Avinashi addict!!!

Again back after a few "months"... :P

I was a lot busy during those two months. It all started I think from late December, after Christmas. A deadline of 10th Jan was given to mid-release of a project i'm working on - EasyPQ. It was delivered around 12th and I think even after that I was not able to get home sooner. Anyways, it's not like due to this I'm not getting time to write, but.... anyways forget that.

Updates for those two months include a lot. I'm now more close to co-leagues at my office. I was spending my 50% of time of a day with them and more then 25% sleeping!!! so, it is obvious. The company I'm working for, Avinashi, has provided us facilities for having gaming sessions for CS, and obviously we've enjoyed it a lot. But, due to some "technical difficulties", they have ripped them off from our PCs, but for almost a month the whole team has played it together and it's experience of its kind. Thnx very much for that sir...

Btw, last week, again with Avinashi's, we have a private cricket session and this was the most memorable day of my job till now... Almost after 10-12 months i've played cricket and it was more enjoyed than playing. Nothing was pre-planned but may be because of this only we've enjoyed it more. And more surprisingly, it was a Valentine's Day!!! I know, u may find it freaky but this is life. Job, Cricket, Ice Cream Parlour, Garden, Restaurent, again Garden, again Ice Cream Parlour and other valentines... :P Hoping for thse kind of sessions, more frequently, in future.

On working side, i've more accounts on internet. Sharing, Sync, Better IDs were few of drivers. And now to spice them up more, i've upgraded my account to have faster speed at night. Well, not "faster" but faster than the slow one i've.

Also, "The Killers" have one new fan of them. I've found some interest in Alternative Rock genre. I am fan of Trance and Techno, for their depeer versions, and I'm finding Alternative Rock pretty close to what I like to hear.

Anyways, enough for now. This is very long post and I want to close it for now.

Btw, i've a new blog on WordPress. It's http://tanmay.patel.wordpress.com/. I've created this acoount just due to more asthetic appealing of WordPress. May be i'll keep this as a presonal one and that as a technical one, but I dont think me as an expertise currently. so it's just an reservation for now.

My Track of the day (has to be) - The Killers - Spaceman

Bye for now. Take Care.
