The Irregular Journal of a Pseudo-Random Software Engineer
It’s been a week now since my Accenture training got over. Now, my real office work has started. Missing my friends (back in Bangalore) that I made during my Accenture training there.

Tom (aka Kurakroma and cbar2 on Granular Community Forum) was a very active member of the forum and one of the global mods there too. He used to be the live wire of the forum, and had a very keen mind which he utilized in discovering new things and putting forward questions, and sometimes trying […]
Continuing my Java learning stint, I started experimenting on RPM packages in the Granular 2008 repository by extracting meta data from them using various Java classes I had written for my on-going college major project. To give a shape (end-user interface) to these leisurely done Java programs, I used my existing project MyBlog to create […]
