I went out yday evening and finally bought a comp for my home use. This little thing took 6 months of deep thought and planning. If you are in hyd around hi-tech city area, there a huge computer market in Aditya Plaza at Ameerpet. The rates are good and they dont rip you off like these 'hi-tech computer shops'.

Been reading a good book "Psychology of Computer Programming" which discusses programming as a team activity rather than as a group of isolated acts of individuals. This book is awesome considering that this book was written back in 1971 and the points made are relevant even today. Just shows how little we care to learn even about known problems.

An interesting quote :) -

". . . the lack of software skill was never the problem. Lack of managerial skill was always the problem; lack of software skill was merely a convenient excuse for those managers who lacked esteem"

Oh well, I would say some companies lack both :-p
