Wasting Time in Lounge [modified]

[CPallini]

Since I'm too busy helping other guys to solve their problems, I cannot waste my time answering you in the lounge. :-D

He seemed to have got a kick in his a** on Monday morning from his manager. Hence he is prowling his way through Lounge and other stuff trying to vent out his anger and emotions.

No. Grrr... Grrr.... :mad: :mad: I think you have guessed this because the other day we were discussing about 'Indian Pledge right' ("All Indian are my brothers and sisters...")

It is not a big rocket science and is a very common thing in India. People loiter around everywhere flirting with the friends of opposite sex in the cafeteria and restaurants till the 23rd hour and then rush up to make some fancy things trading off quality.

Last time I checked, (colleague != brother) returned true. Anyways, this is turning out to be boring. :| I'll probably have to come down there to Chennai in about 15 days. You guys will spare some time? How about another CP get-together? We'll meet up and have dinner, may be?

That should be excellent. Can you start a new thread either in Lounge itself or in Get-To-Gethers forum so that people can consider adding themselves?

Rather than wasting time in lounge, don**'t you guys think the so called great should be helping out others in solvign theire coding doubtsIT IS 'PROBLEMS' FOR GODS SAKE IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT CODING THEN DON'T CODE BUT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THEN DO NOT CALL IT A DOUBT!** and problems. Regarding your doubts'n'problems - you code is probably missing a few essential letters and shit.

Cool. I'll start a thread in the Lounge as soon as my trip is confirmed. It will be great to meet up with you people. We'll have some fun. :)

WTF is it with you Indians that you cant work your code out yourself? What is it, stupidity, laziness? I have never heard so much feeble bleating and whining as comes from your countryfolk. Have you no pride? No sense of engineering accomplishment?

Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

It's not time wasted. For example, I gained insight today into the nature of frameworks: You might say a framework is a structured, possibly hierarchical, interconnected collection of components (whereas a library is a loose collection of disconnected components).[^] I was also reminded about how valuable this community is: CP is just kind of AWESOME in that regard because it's a virtual extension of our professional lives. We don't know each other in person but we know each other well.[^] And read reviews of the movie Transformers: Very cool.[^] I learned that thermals, fleece, jacket, gloves, scarf and hat[^] are not appropriate apparel this time of year in Melbourne. I learned that it is possible for CPians to use a chainsaw[^] without losing appendages[^]. There is a problem with interferance between WLAN and weather radar[^]. I had no idea. There were other things I learned having to do with Ruby on Rails, Career choices, Star Wars ASCII movies (using telnet of all things) and so on... So you see, it was far from time wasted. :-D

[Vasudevan Deepak Kumar]

Sooner we initiate the thread is better since last time we had a very short note and hence the CP Meet message could reach only to a few people. And we missed Satips also. :)

Unfortunately, it is the too big hurdle that we are finding hard to tackle. When the cricket match comes, we can see the folks running into the shared television without caring for the deliverables.

When people stop wasting my time with trivial problems that they could solve for themselves if they took at least 1 millisecond to do some research then, yes, I will help them. Also, like many of my esteemed counterparts here, I can multitask so I can help people and then switch to a different window and post something in the lounge. Finally, let me check the label on the inside of my shirt; nope I don't work for you - this is a volunteer based site, so I can choose to spend my time here wherever I like.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

So the choices are wasting time in the lounge, or helping people like you? Boy, that's a tough one.

Best wishes, Hans

Yes, as Rajesh has said , we focus on the *Niche* area of the answering market.
