Updates (for lack of a better title)

While my racquetball score is at a pathetic ³⁄₁₅ won/lost, I can tell you that I am on my way up. I’ve started my long procrastinated ‘situps before shower’ morning routine. I’m concentrating more on my triceps too - as it is my back-hand serve-returns that lose me points big time.

As I mentioned before, I’ve taken up golf. I go to a small par-3 9-hole course nearby.

My scores were 57, 50, 47, 45, 49, 45. Here is a graph to help you visualize :-)

We attended Prakash’s wedding today. Had a really good time. Yesterday he treated us all to a formal dinner in a cruise. Senthil’s organizing abilities shone through.

In other news, I am quitting Cognizant ;-) My last day would be Nov 3rd. It is a funny feeling as this has been my first job. Sep 10, 2001 to Nov 3, 2006. A tiny little more than 5 years. I am leaving a safe environment for an adventure (hopefully!) - After all, risk = rewards :))

I wrote a small web tool - a tiny little hack that made something easy for some people. It got over 2000 hits in 3 days (it keeps coming). It feels good :) I am not saying what it is, because, it is something really really simple. It got equal number of up & down votes in Reddit. Anyway, I learnt from this… more from ‘error_log’ than from ‘access_log’. (I love webalizer, by the way)

My observation is that, when you do something new, you learn things you never thought you would. Those side-effects seem to be the most valuable outcome… Sorta like how World War II caused economic and scientific development in USA.
