Original Jesus Official Random Quote (TM)
Why do people keep asking, "What would Jesus do?" How the hell should I know? I died for you, damnit! Haven't I done enough for you already? Pop gave you free will for a reason; make your own decisions!

metrics and project success
I have come to a realization. Any project, no matter how small or big, should have a way to measure how sucessful it is. We should be able to define the metrics which would make a project sucessful and ways to measure those parameters. There should be a objective way to measure these metrics defined before we start the project. I am using the term project in a generic term - it may be something as mundane as learning chess (in which case the metric can be - I should be able to defeat the chess program at level 4) or something as challenging as losing weight.

Reevaluating life suckage
Some months back, I had written down a list of the areas my life sucked. Here is the status on those things again
- Health - Getting better. Instead of just whining about how I was getting fat, I am taking steps to reduce weight.
- Volunteer work - I am not still satisfied with this. I am a lurker on many lists and irc channels instead of being an active participant. I need to think of ways to change this maybe just concentrate on just a few projects.
- Book reading - I am more than happy about this
. My book
collection has expanded a lot, to include fantasy and non-fiction
books. More importantly, I have read most of the books in my
collection. - Hacking - Not enough hacking. There should be someway in which I can club my hacking and volunteer work together.
- Fun - One of my good friends has moved to Bangalore and I can now hang out with him instead of cribbing about how much Bangalore sucks

short attention span
A good thing about having a short, but intense attention span is that I can work on many interesting things at once. It also means that I can sometimes concentrate only on the unhappy (or more precisely, worrisome) parts of my life with all intensity, making those 15 minutes quite depressing. Luckily, there are not many unhappy episodes that I have to dwell on, but this is something that I should watch out for.
One life - live it.

wine gets better age ?
Today was my third day at the gym. I can see that going to the gym has become a part of my routine now and I don't have to make any mental effort to motivate myself to go there. There is one good thing about getting older (FYI, I am 27 now), it is quite easy to discipline myself. The process of getting into a new habit requires deciding that I want to do it, finding a good enough time slot for it and doing it. I was able to transform my habit of reaching at lunch time at the office to reaching at 9 AM just by deciding that I wanted to do it and then doing it. I can feel the difference from my college days, when I would make all kinds of excuses for not doing something.

a year at Yahoo!
Today completes my one year at Yahoo! Bangalore. This is the first time in my life when I am not thinking of quitting a job after six months. A big thanks to spoOnman aka Pankaj Kaushal for referring me here. Looking forward to another fun filled year here.
