Bugged!

I was in Chennai on Friday for some work. Had a taste of the PSU employee's total lack of another person's time, energy and money. I flew down from Delhi after fixing everything up only to find that the persons concerned were on leave. Anyways, I ended the day by cursing them on the flight back home.

If this is how some of the biggest PSUs run in India, it is not surprising that it is difficult to have a public-private partnership! To think of it, if a small player or a startup tries to do this, they will be mightily #@$%*( !

Bitten by Bytes

Long time I haven't written anything. In fact, I forgot about the blog completely. All I've been trying to do is build the Geos library on Solaris platform. All I get is errors. It is suggested that I use Sun-Studio compiler, but that's what is causing the trouble. Lets see if something works out. Guess this will be my first 'Contribution' to the Open Source Community after a long time of working on OSS. I just hope that I don't face the same trouble with Proj or PostGIS!
