Computer Laws

"If anything can go wrong, it will"


There seems to be murphy's laws for everything on earth here and this one seemed interesting and so sharing a part of it with everyone.


Any given program, when running, is obsolete.

 The best way to see your boss is to access the Internet.
Or...
No matter how hard you work, the boss will only appear when you access the Internet.


Whenever you need a crucial file from the server, the network will be down.




E-mailed tasking will always come just before you log off.

The chances of getting off work on time is inversely proportional to how much e-mail the boss leaves for until end of the day.



The faster you need a hardcopy, the more people will be using the only office printer.

Walking on water and developing software to specification are easy as long as both are frozen.
The probability of forgetting your password is directly proportional to the frequency of changing it.



The probability of bugs appearing is directly proportional to the number and importance of people watching.



The worst bugs in your program will show up only during the final review.


Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
The troubleshooting guide contains the answer to every problem except yours.

Murphy works for Microsoft. In fact, he is in charge of their QA

Zen O Zen - Part 1

Image
This  'Zen o Zen' series is my quest for zen that started in 2007 and will contain some wonderful zen thoughts that I would like to share as it could be of great help to those who are in search of peace and happiness. In the process of finding happiness , we either rely on the things that has happened in the past or that we are expecting to happen in future. No one bothers to find it in their present.  Below is the excerpt from Dr. Martin luther king Jr.'s speech. Awesome lines....must read for all those who complain about their present state, the work they do or they are forced to do!! And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. don't just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead or the unborn couldn't do it any better. If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, swe...

Terima Kasih Bali - Akkarai seemai azhaginile - Part -2

Image
Honesty - Seldom do we get to see honest people. When in my own motherland , the auto rickshaw walah took away my purse which had a low cost mobile, pancard and some chillar money in it couple of years ago in front of my eyes, how can I have any expectation from a foreign land , where thousands of tourists come and go daily? That is how I felt when my partner lost his wallet in Bali , where we were out on a holiday trip few months ago. Two more days to go for the return flight, hotel bills to be settled and our daily needs to met for the rest of the trip with two little kids, we were slightly disheartened that our hardearned money had gone for a toss. With no hope of  getting our wallet back, we continued to search in the crowded zoo of Bali, where we took an elephant ride 2 hours before we actually realised that we lost our wallet. All the Zen I think and speak about , had completely flown out of me. That is when the local Bali guide who was with us a...
