Is the SUN setting?
I still can believe if its true that IBM would acquire SUN Microsystems one of the world's best companies. I am a technology guy, do not understand much of these business gimmics, however is it for this that someone struggles so hard to make a brand help the world by their open source products etc and then shrink the company and sell if off???
Its harldy a few years back SUN was more than $30B company and now its hardly $3B, why? Is it someone's strategy to bring SUN down and buy them? What is the problem? Or is it that SUN's strategy of business has flaws?
I wonder if tomorrow IBM or whoever would ...
1. Sell the SUN Identity Suite/JES?
2. What will happen to SUN PS?
3. What will happen to the Open Source initiatives?
At least as a person who loves the products and as someone who respects SUN, I would not appreciate this. The management should have taken enough steps to keep the brand up and glowing, rather selling the shop.

Typealyzer Report on my Blog
I was going thro Mark's Blog and found this interesting. This tool tries to provide a view of the author's thought process. I have got the following results.
A gist of what it said regarding my blog:
The organizing and efficient type. They are especially attuned to setting goals and managing available resources to get the job done. Once they´ve made up their mind on something, it can be quite difficult to convince otherwise. They listen to hard facts and can have a hard time accepting new or innovative ways of doing things.
The Guardians are often happy working in highly structured work environments where everyone knows the rules of the job. They respect authority and are loyal team players.

A must read - "Sun Loses Co-Founder to Start-Up"
The first few lines may not be of interest for many, however the entire article is an awesome read. Go ahead and read it.

One does - Remaining follow
If I am not wrong, the concept of Compliance manager was first started by Aveksa. Unfortunately they were a little late to the market and in the mean while Sailpoint already pitched in. Now we have one more big player ... guess who ....... its none other than Sun Microsystems.
They recently launched their Compliance Manager product. I think I will be able to do a comparative study soon and publish to my blog readers.

Open SSO from SUN
May be I am one of those last guys in the world who is talking about this. However I was wondering about a simple concept. How long will Sun be a charity organization?

"Indiscipline" has taken over good part of the Software Industry
During my college days, the computer illiterates use to call me a good programmer and under that assumption I used to be in a hurry to keep the name going on. Once there was a task given and we were coding in C. As usual in my hurry to complete it first and faster, I have completed the program. There I press "CTRL+F9" just to see some garbage. Wondering what would have gone wrong I quickly checked the 100 lines of code. Couldn't find an error. My professor came in and started debugging, rather just checking the functionality. In the mean time I think good number of people in my class somehow completed the program.
Still my prof scrolling up and down ... and suddenly I see that I have missed the "&" before the variable name in the "scanf" statement. :-)
That was history, however this is what is happening in the industry today. People are always in a hurry to see their product selling in the market, and in that hurry the programmers deadlines are pushed and what one gets into the market is a faulty product. The sales guy sells it, cos he knows how to handle the POC and a foolish partner picks up the product to implement.
Tough times start when actually people start implementing it.
In the other scenario, these days, people are in such a hurry to implement and show how great they are to their customers; architects are not even making design documents. Finally they mess up the project and somehow deliver some nonsense. If you have read my previous article, its because of such hasty implementations in past the future becomes grim and even after knowing this, people repeat mistakes.
To conclude ... I want to write about a funny experience I had ...
Once when I was taking up a final lab exam for a batch of Electronics engineering, a girl submitted her observations to me. The few details were
Project: Implementation of logical gates using circuits and verifying results.
Precautions:
1. The connections should be tight
2. Readings should be taken without parallax error.
I asked two simple questions.
How do you get parallax error when you have a result of 1 if light glows and a result of 0 if it doesn't?
When from did you start having losses in results if the connections were not tight in electronic experiments?
