Growing old

Jamie, buddy ol pal... you are not the only one with a failing memory! And its very well, i know others far worse than you and me. But yes, the brain cells do fail us when we require to retain some information. I forgot when Mosha's brithday was, but i did make an entry in BirthdayAlarms.com. But of course i entered the wrong date, since i remembered...

Jadookor

Today we spent a lot of noisy time. Its called Brainstorming in the real world. Where more than one heads get together to show off their brain power. Its almost like girl power but less appeal. We wanted to create the perfect code generator. With a lot of marketing buzzword, high goals and utopian dreams floating about in the office, this is where we ended up. In the conference room, three of us ...and our brains. Which if you consider the 'seeing is believing' philosophy, will dispell the whole notion. Anyways, there is also a saying "An idea...

Rules

A lot of people take pleasure and pride in the "Rules are meant to be broken" mantra. It was almost a credo in the O and A level days. Recently, I have been looking around me and finding some rules that still make me mad! - You can book a practice pad, the minimum is 4 hours. A 'practice pad' just means that place where a musical band can get together to practice or 'jam'. These places have a drum set and the neccessary heavy electronics like amplifiers and a mixer. But 4 hours! There are often cases where two bands get together to share these...

What are you reading?!?!?!??!

I do not mean books here! Y'day, one of my colleagues had a lil' problem while coding and so he called me up... Two heads are better than one! bollocks! U really need to consider which heads you are putting together. He described his problem to me - "I am creating a Date object, then printing it... shows 01 26 2005. Then when i apply the specific timezone it should become 06 06 2005 but its not! Its printing Jan again!!!!" Thats all he needed to tell me to make me see what he saw... a mistake. Later he called me to tell me that someone else...

Blog -aholic -aholism

As i was telling my friend Ling Ling a few days ago... i am now a "blogaholic"! Even when i am away from PCs and network cables or modems, I identify a moment that has just passed as one being "Bloggable"... The words are arranged in my mind. Even with the curse of a bad memory I am able to regurgitate those arrangements on the keyboard to send to blogger.com (78% of the time). I am compelled to think whether there is something wrong with me. All i can tell myself in my defence is that, I would have done the same if I was keeping a journal in...

Rockstrata

I always heard how important this band was such an important part of the history of the Rock scene here in bangladesh. Today was the first day that i actually listened to their album. Some of the songs were familiar since I heard them before, like 'Janalar Biare' and 'Ei Din Ar Shei Din'. And today was also the first day that I appreciated them. Back in the days when I first stumbled into the world of rock music and more... I was mildly allergic to anything slow, e.g Scorpions' Holiday, which I later learnt to appreciate. I just sort of developed...

The heat and the rain

Either way.. there is the possibility of getting wet! either in the grosssss sweaty uncomfortable way... or the other way where water is poured on you from the skies. I used to like the rain and getting wet in it when i was younger. I still like it ..but from far! :) from safety of my balcony or bed. After a very uncomfortable night of sleep because of the tremendous heat... on the way to work i was met with dark skies. I opted not to take the bus for this reason. But come to think of it, my decision to take the cng three-wheelers was not so wise...

BD Blogs and the day...

Since seeing the post of AG y'day about 'How/What foreigners feel/say about Bangladesh' (something like that), I started going through the blogs listed on ReZwan bhai's blog of the foreigners living in Bangladesh. I knew this list existed but never really thought of going through them! So far read some of this Tara person's blog, who works in an NGO here. Also I got to fiddling around with my profile, and noticed that they have the parts of my location as links: Uttora, Dhaka, and Bangladesh!So just clicking on these will take you to a list of...

The hardest Button to Button.

Woe is me. Caught between the love of two hot women... not quite... I just got accepted in to the Masters in IT program for the major: Art and Technology. It seems like an interesting, exciting program from here. Where I am now, i have a comfortable job, on the verge of releasing a single, and... well, just in a lifestyle i have gotten used to in a while. Aabto aadatsi hay mujhko eisey jinemey. Maybe thats what also scares me. The move to Sweden is also kinda scary since the program is unconventional, and probably not usable if i come back to Bangladesh...

Teachers: The real celebrities

Being away from office for two days (pronounced: s-i-c-k l-e-a-v-e.) gave me the oppurtunity to enjoy daytime television. Sadly its just repeats of last night's entertainment, mostly. Anyway, i saw an episode of Oprah, or O as she is known by her smitten fanz. The topic for the episode was 'School Teachers'. Started with one guy who has recently written a book about it, which lays out the 55 laws he abides by to get the job done. He believes in them and follows them strictly. WebsiteThen there was the English teacher who made Shakespeare fun......

New Music out!

Two albums were released y'day: Agontuk 3 (a compilation of 15 bands, and thus 15 songs), and X Factor, an instrumental album by Jewel of Miles. AFter hearing both, my heart and mind really goes out to X Factor. The AG 3 album is boring quite frankly. Black sang a song in English, which the peeps in Amadergaan are really praising, which i found really bogus. I mean... the words just don't gel with the rest of it. The music is ok. Pretty much what happened is that the aniticipation build up from the moment i heard of this album's coming to its...
