Recruitments
August 15th, 2006

Recruitment is most often the most frustrating of the things that I am supposed to handle. Anyone and everyone who can write mysql_fetch_array() thinks that they are better than Rasmus, it is an entirely different matter that the response is always “Rasmus who?” from these delightfully disillusioned geniuses when you really ask about him. Once [...]

Finally the monsoon has firmly set over the region. Cooling things down to the twenties… Half of 2006 has also passed and been a good year till now. I am still overwhelmed with work but I took some time out last week to try making a real life project with cakePHP – http://cakephp.org as the [...]
Set it free!

The most satisfying moment for the week past was when we set free the Shikra chick which we had been looking after for past several weeks. I am happy that we could manage to teach it how to kill and then how to hunt, yes they have the instinct but it needs to be honed. [...]
Birds, flying and more

The week just zoomed past…. Throughout the week we were sifting through resumes, We are currently running at full capacity and it is always a bad idea to do this for long – there has to be some redundancy. Yes, project overlapping is there but I want to have at least 30% spare man hours. [...]
Happy New Year!!!

Huh!? Just as we were about modestly done with celebrating a good ending to the previous financial year (for the uninformed 31st March is the date) I wake up to this truly *Maniac Monday* Fortunately, for you my readers most of the problems fall either under some NDA clause or will hurt friends – so [...]
The myopic disgruntled employee
March 23rd, 2006

Every SME at some time or the other has this species on its payroll – His pet peeve is “Company sux my blood!” Typical profile of this type of employee is that he is young, just out of college, intelligent, this probably is his first or second job and his parents in most of the [...]
Creating a second line of command!
February 24th, 2006

A few (well only 2) people asked as to how I managed to create a second line of command in such a short span. Umm… I have not really documented the process and there is no magic formula which will work… besides I am an awful manager. I am sure a lot of management gurus [...]
Rendered redundant

Redundant – adj 1: more than needed, desired, or required; Am once again looking at ways to make myself redundant at SANIsoft. About 18 months ago we realised a need to have a second line of command in the programming team, the work was just too much for me to keep up with first hand [...]
OK! we are not a Sweat Shop
January 27th, 2006

Got some flack for calling SANIsoft a sweat shop… Two of my biggest clients pointed out that calling SANIsoft a sweat shop would not please their investors (heh! I did not know that you people read my personal journal) They went on to point that you cannot call a SME which creates PHP apps optimised [...]
