Evolution of a Wikipedia article

My ideal company!

Posted by Pramod in Management

What you will hear from me if I were a CEO today! (I am reading Who says elephants can’t dance by Lou Gerstner these days!) Dress Code It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore do not…read more

This site on Apple Safari

Posted by Pramod in Website

For some time I had not used Safari for surfing – since Firefox came with the RSS read capability! But I just realised that my site does not render properly on Safari – while it does on both Firefox and on IE. To be frank – I don’t any clue why this is so. If anyone out there knows – I’d be glad if you drop me a line. I am using WordPress 1.5. UPDATE: I think I might have figured out why this site does not render properly on…read more

Posted by Pramod in Random Thoughts

Was surfing around and found few articles written by Srijith on Vedic Mathematics. I am linking them here. Even though this is from 2003, its as one can imagine a timeless concept! From what I see, lacking enough feedback – he stopped after a few posts. So if you guys like what you read, drop him a line and ask him to restart. We had a professor at my Engg. school who used to take classes on Vedic mathematics. It did help me quite a bit during the rat race…read more

The rat and the butterfly – A fable of software development

Posted by Pramod in Random Thoughts, Technology

I came across this story by John Walker, the founder of Autodesk (coinhabitant of Switzerland) – he is talking about overdose of idealism and quest for purity that very often ensnares the open source projects and often leads to their death. I personally think that Open Source is perhaps a good way for developing concepts but for application to real life situations – it has to be properly – for the lack of any other appropriate word coming to my mind – commercialised. Read on: Once upon a time, a…read more

A restaurant website with a difference

Posted by Pramod in India/Kerala, Random Thoughts, Website

As has become a habit these days, I was checking out the blog links from Manoj’s Melam page (check my links section). And that led me to this interesting site of Madhu Menon, who quit his job as a techie and started his own restaurant. Interesting story – but to be frank I have no clue how good his food creations are – have asked few of my Bangalore friends to check out and let me know. But his restaurant’s website – I found it very interesting – and perhaps…read more
