Re: How To Minimize Your Value to The Company

Magnet April 11th, 2007

* t3rmin4t0r wrote a really great post “How To Minimize Your Value to The Company“. Here is my views:

- Answer questions on devel forums - Yes. I used to maintain some forums, which gave me some ‘pet’ name!
- Write a technical blog - Yes (sometime!)
- Live the company values - Yes
- Write cool hacks - Yes.
- Have a serious hobby - Yes.
- Contribute to an open source project - Yes.

It depends. All of us know that ‘How much business you bring to company?’ is the core question. But, I am not feeling that my value has decreased or become minimized yet.

GPG Session at Office

Magnet January 1st, 2007

* I knew that it will be heavy, but I was committed to do that. I took session about GPG in my office during MM. Or May be I need to make such session more simpler :) Well, Slide and other things can be download from here. I did some research and found nice page about generating your own ‘Web Of Trust’ graph! I spend some time of 31st to convert these scripts to Python also! Here is my graph!

HackFest01: Lessons

Magnet December 25th, 2006

* Lots of learnings! As I mention before, I tried to get festival-gu working with minimal hack of festival-te. I come to conclusion is it is now job of some what more attention and feedback from others regarding language specific stuffs. But, I also found that festival-te debian package also need to apply upstream patch(s) to work correctly. (see: bug: #404463). I also found solution of Kline to our IP from oftc.net’s IRC channels!

* I hardly sleep for 15 minutes in front of my lcd during event. Pizza was good and thanks to bigbazaar! Thanks to everyone for participation. We are planning to have next HackFest in starting of Feb. See also Nirav’s post about this.
