I'm still Alive...

Yeah!I'm alive.My blog was kinda temporarily hibernating because....because?Answers? Ahh.I don't know.Maybe it was because i was into learning some new stuff.(By stuff i always mean Technology).Maybe because there were literally no visitors to the blog(the visitors that did visit were kinda forced to visit, unfortunately they did not re-visit).



Lot's of thing happened around me in this period.Around me - around the world.The Air France tragedy is one of those things which don't want to get off my mind.It was absolutely .... horrific?terrible?Well I don't know how to describe it, but I did try to imagine myself as one of those victims' kin, it is a horrible experience really.I'm sure that many of those would have had imagined their kins 'killed' coming back to them from nowhere. Nobody knows how it happened(at least till date). What we do know is that it crashed into the Atlantic. As I type in here i hear news that the planes tail fin has been found. Anyways I feel for the victims and their kins and hope and pray to Allah(SWT) that nobody ever gets to feel this experience.



While a section of the people of France mourned the victims, exactly a week later a section of them where hailing Federer's Slam.The French Open that had eluded him, was finally conquered by the charming guy from Swiss.He deserved it i think.He is such a humble person, whom many would love to replicate.



And what else?.....Yeah 'me',whatever did happen to me!As for me, nothing new happened. The same old things, TopCoder, office, etc.I've raised my bar in TopCoder.Was the runner up in one of those Test Scenarios competition.I've set a target for myself.What I can say though, is that my mind seems to be slowly shifting towards money,..and that's bad?Yeah, I think it is really bad.I don't want to lose my love towards my faith/religion and programming.

A normal day!

Today was just another day in my life!Nothing new, nothing unusual.Reach office at around 9:40 AM, start my system, open IE, Lotus notes, sign into my iGoogle page, open another browser window, check for any new bugs onTopCoder, and that's it..Relax!Oops! I think I have not mentioned TopCoder before!It has been my favorite past time ever since i joined it.
Algorithm Competitions, Bug races, Studio competitons....an amazing site overall.This has increased my interest in Programming.And not to mention, it has improved my coding skills overall.It's time for dinner already!I'll get back with more information on TopCoder.
