          I am not wasting time. I am here, because all our Indian friends post programming questions (coding doubts or whatever you call it) here in the lounge. :rolleyes:

            It is an individual perception on what is conceptualized as wastage of time or adding utility value. When you have put in so much effort just to fruitlessly analyze other people's demographics and browsing patterns thus coming to a hapless and hopeless conclusion that Lounge is a wastage of time, I am just reminded of a simple medical syndrome: A person affected with Jaundice ("Yellow Fever") feels that everything is yellow. Similarly you see everything is debris around you because yourself is just ____.

                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.

Regarding your doubts'n'problems - you code is probably missing a few essential letters and shit.

                              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?

                                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.

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

                                  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. :)

                                  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. :)

                                    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?

                                    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.
