Manish’s Scribble Board

It has been four weeks since I started my work here at MSF, Hyderabad. It has been quite interesting and altogether new experience. Out of 9 weeks, only 5 more are remaining and am expected to complete a major portion of the work which am alloted.

Well, apart from doing normal work, I learnt something new stuffs

Hyderabad Food = S. Indian Food - Simplicity + Spices + Chicken - Sambhar

C# = Java - JVM - ClassLoader + MSIL + JIT + CLR - Platform Independence

.NET = RoR - MVC + Horrible Documentation

I was supposed to have a code review today,but as usual I didnt submit my prepared code timely. While submitting today evening, I missed out 2 more rules as I busy cleaning,organizing and documenting my code right from the beginning to the end.

And lastly a bad news. My domain of my Tech Blog www.manishtech.info expired today. I forgot to renew it. Hopefully I wont be extending it. Its too much, since I dont get much time to blog.

Its long since I last posted the update. It Saturday ( Holiday ), still am sitting in office till 8 in the night. Shocked? I have nothing to do at flat, so Microsoft becomes our destination even on weekend. This is the day on which we dont write a single line of code, nor do we try our hands on debugging (has always been a futile attempt). The guy next cubicle watched movies the day long. This is the day in which we watch YouTube videos,download junks,eat, even sleep in our cubicles and blah blah blah.

My loyal blog readers (if any) would be asking what’s going on or “SUP?”. The only answer you can expect “Just Going!” I havnt prepared a single line for placement, neither for the work here. If we have any problems, Google comes to rescue, the find the documentation in MSDN. Many Many classes in .NET are not documented, hope I may add community notes once I become a bit fluent in using the API. My work has being going on at a smooth pace, God only knows if something disastrous can happen. I am to get a full complied list of bugs for a tool which my team is working on. Now what that for? Actually the tool I have to build is a sort of helper tool, so some sort of integration has to be there. I cant disclose more due to the fact I have signed NDA.

Made a post at Google Groups for Web Search,as I was getting a 403 Forbidden error. Google thought I was searching like a bot. No reply till now.

Made a new post at my Tech Blog Check it

Updates the Pages of my Blog, added Networks and Movies & Popcorns page

Ask this question to a full time employee of any company? Where does he want spend most of his time, the answer can be at home due to obvious fact- they have gone tired of work. Well! The situation is different here, we interns like the office very much. Want to know the reasons? AC, Cokes, Beverages, Free Supper, Free Lunch (using Food allowance), hope drop by cab at night, no reporting time etc etc etc. What more we want?

Now lets discuss on work, I learnt C#.NET using Visual Studio.NET with .NET Framework 4.0. These two products as far as I know are still not released but Microsoft has issued a press release for the same. I developed a widget type of application for getting myself familiar with this new language, which surely cant be used for daily work. Now I have been given the main project about which I cant disclose because I signed the NDA at the time of joining. The work is going to be tedious but the environmnt at office is very relaxing (at least for now).

There is a strike by the cabs and auto rickshaws here in Hyderabad due to which were not able to report at work. Cabs are off the roads due to some VAT issues and autos due to increased fuel prices. Worst is still to come, all the drivers are expected to move to strike from Sunday. That too this strike is indefinite!!!
