A study by Standish Group reports 80% of the IT projects fail due to over budget, late, missing functionality or due to combination of these. Worse 30% of software projects are so poorly executed that they are canceled before completion. There are uncountable reasons for a project to fail and enough has been said and talked about it. What we are not talking is about success. Strange isn’t it? But its true.

I have been in IT industry for six years now. I have been in more than dozen projects of varying types, size and period. One thing which is common across these projects - every successful project needs a hero (s if the project is big). He is the man/woman who can think, design, code, he/she is super productive and above all he/she can help others. Its because of these heroes those 20% projects see shine of the day. My heroes are same as Bruce Eckel’s 20% struggling programmers. Read the rest of this entry »

G Shocks are more than regular wrist watches. They are part of your life and represent your personality. Once you start wearing them probably you wouldn’t wear any other wrist watch.
After spending two years with out wearing a wrist watch I got this one. Its not that I did not have one. I have quite a few of them which I don’t wear (Six of them exactly!). I got a G shock for myself because it suits my personality. Here is my new G314RL belongs to rider series of G Shock. Yet another very cool gadget is added to my collection. I am happy, satisfied and wearing it everyday.
1. Read the post to see what G shock is made up of .
2. G shock was worn by Tom Cruise in MI 1,2,3 , by Keanu Reeves in speed etc.

I bought this album last week but didn’t spend much time with it. Today I spent few hours listening to it. I wouldn’t say its the best Kannada music but I would for sure say its a change and the change looks good. The album explosion 1 by Basavanagudi based young team called Urban Lads is pretty cool. The album contains seven songs of Kanglish hip hop. The lyrics of “Just Missu” is good and funny. I enjoyed lines “guru naan sandeep..east end circlenalli police idukondu bittiddane….”. There is another called “preeti illade yenide” written by Jayant Kaikini and Sameer Kulkarni. I must appreciate Jayant Kaikini for working along such a young team. Its come out pretty well.

Overall its a decent album for Rs.99. Go get a copy.
