Sunday, sad discovery

[Da Vinci Code]


I have been to the movie house recently and watched this controversial film. The book, despite its ever-growing popularity, did not interest me that much since I equate my faith with a sword mightier than Tireal’s Azurewrath. I was saddened deeply when I reached the movie house and saw numerous people there oozing with their teenage curiosity. First of all, have they been to church? It’s Sunday for pete’s sake. Why would they prioritize watching a film that is against their religion without even thinking that they have their obligations? Dan Brown’s manuscript is really a work of art and no question about that but people should remember it as a fiction book and nothing beyond.


To all those who have read the book or have watched the film, try reading The Da Vinci Code Decoded written by a Jesuit priest.


[OS Development]


Do not write your own operating system. An information available globally that could be considered as a blackhole where operating system developers might fall. I am one of those enlightened hobbyists who fell into that hole while searching for a supplementary reading about the Global Descriptor Table. Developing your own OS is just reinventing the wheel. Straightforward as it may sound. Yeah right. We want to learn here and reinventing the wheel does not only mean to reinvent. Go grab your processor’s fan, detach it, and power on for a decent devastation.

Importance of daily meetings

Why are daily meetings important? Yes I know what you are thinking, to check if the schedule is on target, to spot showstoppers, roadblocks and whatnots. But aside from those, there are things that make daily meetings rewarding. Let’s face it, some people (including me) find it hard oftentimes to achieve a certain level of focus at work especially when multitasking is inevitable. Meetings will remind us of our commitments infront of our peers. Since most of us will be ashamed of not making any progress, it will trigger ourselves to do something about it. In my opinion, having daily meetings typically before the shift starts will help a lot of peers suffering from bad habits - procrastination. It is one way of invigorating those who have not found their way out yet. “Keep each other in the zone, what are teammates for?”
