28

I went to watch PAF in IITB with a few friends yesterday. It was great fun, and brought back a lot of memories of the good old IITD-BRCA days. While there I relaized that its been almost 12 years since the last (and only other) time I was in the IITB OAT/SAC complex. That was when I attended my first Mood Indigo during my first year of junior college. Wow.... can't believe that its been that long. Can't believe I've just turned 28.

Linus on his very unique management style.

Management style is very personal and much harder to quantify than simple coding style rules, so this document may or may not have anything to do with reality. It started as a lark, but that doesn't mean that it might not actually be true. You'll have to decide for yourself.

Worth a read for everyone (not just kernel hackers).

Another Microsoft KB gem

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org can be very entertaining sometimes. But it is nothing compared to the MS Knowledge Base. Consider this wonderfully crafted piece:

When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to locate a Web page, such as an Intranet Web page, from a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, Internet Explorer may quit unexpectedly.

Believe it or not, I think I am actually hitting this Win2K kernel bug with one our applications at work.

This is just too funny.

There have been no classes at the Delhi ISI since Friday, September 17, 2004, and students have been sent home on a week’s unofficial holiday. The reason is even more unofficial - there’s a ghost on campus.

What I am wondering is this : If we had alleged there was a ghost in Kumaon, would the IIT-D faculty would have fallen for this and given us a week long break? .... I suspect not, but it might have been worth a shot at least ;)

Another quotable Linus quote

But hey, the fact that I have better taste than anybody else in the universe is just something I have to live with. It's not easy being me.

Update: Link updated. Thanks Neeraj.
