I have been involved this month to build 2 wireless BaseStations in Goa, India. To meet a major point to point connection , between each other and to communicate with a 3rd party basestation.
Since, i have resigned from my current job. im still in last month of handover. i got 23 days left. So i got to do the following , quite fast.
Go to Indian Embassy (Scariest place on earth)(Update , went and submitted, waited 3 full hours)& Get a New Passport(Old one is out of pages)- Get a new Mobile Line (As current one belongs to the company)
- Get my own Post Box ( makes life easier)
- Cleanup My Desk in Office(extremely messy)
Get my residence transfer papers ready at the new company- Hmmm … i hope didnt miss out anything else .. so …etc.
Finally did it! .. i have resigned from my current job. Its been 7 long years. 7 Years of extreme hardwork , dedication and workaholism. I see a bright new future a head. A future of promise and ideas. I would like to thank my old company, for whatever support, good times or bad times. I will post of my new adventures of days to come.
So much true!. With the advancement of technology and services all shrunk into a single tiny device. Its like carrying your entire office workload where ever you go. Well it comes, to my question , “How much do we work? and why do we work so much?”.
I have been working on a project of mine in Goa, for almost 3 years now. Planning, conceptualization , funding etc. im not going to disclose anything of it right now. But just am glad that its doing well. I will be mentioning it out later in the next few months. Only a few Family members, and friends know about this. and i hope you’ll dont mention it out at this stage. The Above is an Abbreviated version of the logo, like Coca Cola having Coke and so on. Orange has never been my color, but it brings a new dimension to the surroundings.
I just realised , that i havent got any postal mail for a very very long time. No greeting cards, no letters from families, or Friends from basically anywhere in the world. Initially i could blame it on EMAIL technology and say everyone is joining the “Age of Email”. But when i ran a search on my email client, i realised i dont get emails from anyone too ? 
If i look at my daily Inbox , i get like 45 geninue emails from work and things to do. 1 email from my wife. and rest 50 to 100 all spam. i dont get any more emails from friends or even families all over the world that say ” Hey Ray, how are you doing ? how is this or that”.
All i get is shorten lines,,, which say ” Hey Man, we got to get this up and running, there is this to buy, this to do. Hmmmmph .. maybe its just me ! sigh!
I Strongly Believe that Open Source, will be the future of all Software and Hardware alike. Being in the IT Marketing fields, i have learnt to study client responses and the way how IT technolgoy moves from major companies. Major Clients like Microsoft and Apple are slowly loosing ground to Linux, Unix and others.
I have personally seen major companies , in Kuwait, rollout about 300 to 500 users from microsoft to Lindows(Linux Client OS) or RedHat its truly amazing. Security have shifted from SUN Solaris ,to Linux, Debian and others.
RHEL (Red Hat Entreprise Linux) has been also been working around the security market as a major contender. The Image about the NXT Lego Mindstorm Robot, is becoz the next Firmware releases will be based on Open Source. Now if Open source can do that , what are looking at in the next 10 years?
Im loaded .. loaded with work,ideas,things to do. Its sad that , you end up doing everyone work. vibin, my colleague is also with the same, extremely loaded, with tasks and things to do . Somehow sometimes in kuwait , your job role is not specified in details and we are loaded with things , we are not supposed to be doing.
But due to circumstances , we have to help. Now “help: can be good or be an extremely bad word. Today, people misunderstand help as “compulsory” support. “Help” is no longer understood as “voluntary” service in adverse time of need from a friend or family member or a concerned stranger.
So i have decided to slow things down. Its for my own benefit and the benefit of my company clients (Coz an “over stressed me” wouldnt be able to give quality service to them).
I have added a new widget that i developed, into my blog, apart from the weather. This is a currency converter, which helps you converting currency between Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia , Jordan, Qatar, Baharain & Lebanon. It is linked to NBK, automatically updates itself every morning. so since its integrated directly to NBK, i assume it will be accurate.
I will be adding the following currencies , in the next few days, i.e. US,Indian Ruppee, & Euro. Anyone who needs more currencies added to this list, do let me know.
