Wasting Time in Lounge [modified]

[Rajesh R Subramanian]

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

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.

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

Best wishes, Hans

Yup. The rude little b*gger was whining about nobody answering his question - which he'd posted less than a day ago.

This reminds me of a few friends who work for highly reputed companies. Though their technical skills are below par, they are champions in bragging about their achievements.

I dont know, but I find that one to be one of the most attractive messages/replies ever. It was something similar to a good cricket shot. That's a six! Neat like Yuvraj's. wow! I see you are in an excellent form. Keep it up Brahmma!;) :D

Well - this at least puts some perspective on some events. My employer hired a contractor to develop a database and some software - who proceeded to contract it out to India. Let's just sum up the quality/insight (=results) as best descirbed by a long loud flushing sound.
