5th Anniversary today!

Today, The UX Group completes 5 years of its existence. What an experience it has been! Don't ask how we did it despite the downturn and many odds. We stay focussed and have faith in the fact that open source never fails us. Surely it didn't! Nor did the people who encouraged and motivated us throughout. Thanks a ton.

The developer of C language - Dennis Richie, who was instrumental in Unix development has passed away today. A very private person indeed.

Now comes the review part, as we normally do on every annual day. We got some new clients and working on couple of new projects. By the end of the year, we would be on a different track for sure. We must say that this is one good year for us.

"Formalities" needed by BSNL Broadband Install person

In place of the WiMax internet connection that we had as a backup to our main broadband connection, we took another broadband connection from BSNL. Everything was set up quickly on Linux yesterday. Then the sudden surprise before they are about to leave! -  the assitant tech person mentioned "formalities" (meaning some tip or bribe, whatever you may call it)!?! We flatly denied saying that we do not want to make them beggers. Without saying a word, he left.  While some top level BSNL officials bleed it by leaking its strategies and latest offers to its competitors beforehand, the other side is maligning its name with such cheap attitude and habits.
