Yesterday EMC acquired s new Company-Kashya. The San Jose, California-based company was acquired in a cash transaction valued at approximately $153 million.Good start of the day ..
Went through the tapes of architecture framework and the project which I would be working on , it was a looongg video too many new concepts to grasp. Had lunch with shreyas and his manager Jeffrey. The lunch included spinach cream soup, salad and noodles, the cafeteria seems pretty decent. Had a first meeting with my manager after lunch break, he was one of my interviewers and even remembered my answers
.Today EMC acquired yet another company Interlink, North American-based IT professional services firm.
Reading my favorite book C++ Primer by Stanley Lippman the writing style always reminds me the way

Making a web site never seemed as easy as with iWeb.You can create a complete website with podcasts, photos, and movies � and get them online, fast. Just drag, drop, and design using your choice of web templates, then publish live to your .Mac account. You can use the iLife Media Browser to drag in your photos, movies, and podcasts, then simply type over the placeholder text on your page template.Using the iLife Media Browser, you can access all your iLife content � photos, video, audio � without leaving iWeb. Drag in the podcast or song you recorded or iPhoto album of your choice, your latest iMovie project.After all it just works

IEEE has an excellent facility of distance learning where some exclusive audio tutorials along with tests can be accessed. I have taken around 8 courses with them and found all of them pretty inclusive especially the linux administartion course . If you are already not a pro in these areas then its the best way to learn fundamentals along with few practical exercises which they provide on a virtual platform. Somehow I feel only reading tutorials never help me, I am a visual person and as IEEE’ audio visual tutorials use lots of visual aids and clickable icons on the tutorial pages, it become easy to visualize the topic.
