I was casually looking at some material on C++ on the web today when I came across this. The first read messed up with my head. After a while I thought of doing some experiments with g++, because for some strange reason the phrase “private virtual functions” popped up in my head. And I thought […]
Bought a copy of Windows Vista Business yesterday. Why Windows Vista Business? Because it costs less than Home Premium, the only other edition that comes with Aero (apart from Ultimate ofcourse).

In-fact it is getting out as I type this journal. For about one or two weeks now I have been getting remainder emails from people interested […]
Today our company delivered our first complete project. I am supposed to not speak much about the project itself for a couple of more months; but I can share the feeling of having completed the task. The last few weeks have been extremely heavy with long working hours and no holiday (not even a Sunday). […]
