Applying for a job online, better be careful about how you specify your experience. Yesterday when I applied through a popular job portal for a job where the experience required was 2-4 years, I got the following message even though I fit in the range. Sharing it with you all as another evidence of how silly some errors can be and why testing should include more test cases so that such errors are caught. The good aspect though was that it did let me apply.
June 17 2008 was the day the Mozilla team decided to release Version 3 of the Firefox browser. And to add to all the new features that come along with it, they took upon the challenge to create a record for most downloads in a day for a software.
I took part in this initiative and here is the certificate provided by the Mozilla team to recognise by download.
You can download the latest version 3 of the really fast and one of the most extensible browsers at the browser website.
My College life officially came to an end last week with the PG degree being handed over to me during the 26th annual convocation of the Mangalore University.
The day (16/Feb) was a happy day for me as the unexpected 1st rank in MCA course meant a Gold Medal came hopping along with the degree certificate!!! Though it personally means nothing much to me, but it means a lot to my family and relatives and I am happy that I was able to bag the medal. After all, these are the things which you carve for…something which assures your parents them that the lakhs of rupees they had spent on the course was not a complete waste!
Moving on…..just miss those college days…..got to know a lot of things…..made many friends…..did lots of experimentation on the PC….and participated in lots of inter-collegiate fests [and won many prize as well!! 
]….
One of the few things I learnt by participating in the various inter-collegiate fest was “Enjoy and have fun in any work you do…..and you will triumph by far exceeding what you though you would have done otherwise…”. Though even today when I do something I may look serious, but I really enjoy whatever I do….which is really making life fun.
There are many many things I wanted to write about and that would unnecessarily increase the post size…hence I will cut it short ……and move on to one thing that I was unable to do when in college and am sad about, which was contribute code to the Open Source world! Well nothing much is lost….I can still contribute….I just need to switch gears and move from ‘try to contribute’ to ‘contribute’.
Life moves on…..and now that I have moved out of college……all the past achievements mean very little now………..more responsibilities have come in…….and for the past one year or so the focus has shifted to work side….let me wait and see how it turns out at work…..Overall I am happy that I finished college on a good note…
