A look back at 2006
Saip tagged me while I was looking the other way! In honour of his first (and hopefully last ;-) tag, herewith, a recap of 2006. BTW, I wrote a blog post in a dissimilar vein last year.
| January | Rung in 2006 in Phuket. Rest of the month was pretty normal IIRC. Went home towards the end for the Chinese New Year vacation. | |
| February | The birthday month! This was a stressful month at work due to an impending product release. Oh, looks like I made a promise back then to get rid of the advts from the site if they don't bring in enough moolah. I'm happy to report that since I've recovered almost 50% of the hosting costs, I'll keep the ads around ;-) | |
| March | With the product shipped out to the testers, life was slow at work. The bosses found that to be a good reason to send me off to Florida ;-) I think I also started jogging regularly around this time. | |
| April | Tampa, Rutgers and NYC. Met some old friends after ages and made some new friends too. All in all, a great month! Also wrote webr; probably the only useful piece of code I've put up for download! Of course, no one else has ever used it so looks like only I think that it's useful ;-) | |
| May | What happened in May? Did I just sleep 24x7? Hmm.. email logs indicate the starting of an ultra-secret project with some friends. Other than that, nothing much. Oh yeah, started the mini. Other than that, nothing much. | |
| June | This was a bad month. Lots of stress at work - at one time, it looked like all the work accomplished in the US trip would amount to nothing. Thankfully, some late evenings & extra weekends & yours truly's amazing skills saved the day ;-) | |
| July | Bought the new PC :-D | |
| August | Another uneventful month I think. Anyway, go read the most misunderstood blog post I ever wrote! | |
| September | Yet another empty month. Either that, or I have a poor memory. Both are equally likely. What I do recall is that work had been generally boring these few months. | |
| October | Lost a sweet phone :-( Bought a sweeter phone :-) Spent Diwali at home after seven years :-D | |
| November | Resumed development related activities at work. And of course, started drawing The Stickies! | |
| December | Had to go home for a couple of weeks to attend to some family matters. Also, resigned from Borland! Starting this month, I am working at Hiperware. If you find the company^ website a bit bare, please bear with us. We're just starting out :-) |
Wow, this post has been a lot of work! Digging through emails, blog posts, messenger archives and what not trying to reconstruct the year. I should’ve just asked the government agencies for my file ;-)
It’s a bit late in the year to be tagging others for this, IMHO. But if you do feel like writing a recap of your own, consider yourself tagged. :-)
