Someone asked me at lunchtime what I thought of the Yahoo! India Software Development Center office. I answered that it reminded me of the Y! office 5 years ago in Santa Clara. It’s still small enough that you can know every engineer, all-hands meetings don’t require a microphone or PowerPoint presentations, and the cafeteria has […]
After visiting the temple we came back to the palace to get some nightime pictures. There were thousands of families on the palace grounds walking around or sitting on the grass. We got some boiled peanuts from a guy in the parking lot and then hopped in the car to head back to Bagnalore.
You can’t actually see the elephant here, but trust me, we’re riding one. Badi, Swaroop and I made a trip to Mysore yesterday and visited the palace and Chamundi Hill.
Last night I went out with Badi and Swaroop to see Yuva. The movie was in Hindi so naturally I couldn’t understand a word, but during the intermission I got a recap of the first couple of hours. Turns out I followed about 30% of what was going on. I guess the language of love […]

When it finds a member function declaration in a header file that doesn’t have a corresponding implementation, it creates an empty skeleton with descriptive comment headers. Last week Raphael […]
TNT, an AOL Instant Messenger client for Emacs, released version 2.5 this week. I’ve used it on FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows 2000 and it’s always worked like a charm. If you’re not into the whole GUI thing, TNT is a superb alternative to Gaim.
