The Illusionist

I recently watched movie "The Illusionist". The movie's plot is really good. It is a love story of "Eisenhiem the Illusionist". It's has "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others" sort of Climax.

Currently I'm reading "Living With Honor" By Shiv Khera. As I have mentioned before, it give you "Clarity on Values". A man must be sucessful in every aspect of life. You are not a complete sucess, if you have attained sucess in some aspect of life with the expense of others.

I'm also reading "Understanding Linux Kernal". I have completed the introductory chapter. Day by day my blogging ablity is decrecing, I should read some books on blogging.

Yesterday, I got 2 more movies, "Proof" and "The Prestige". I will be watching it in this weekend.

C++ Pure Virtual Functions

Can C++ Pure Virtual Functions can't have implementation ? The Answer is yes.

#include
using namespace std;

class A {
public:
virtual void display()=0;
};
void A::display() {
cout<<"A::display"<<endl;
}

class B : public A {
public:
void display() {
A::display();
cout<<"B::display"<<endl;
}
};

int main() {
B b;

cout<<"hello world"<<endl;
b.display();
return 0;
}

Network/System Programming

Today is an important day in my life. I have made a important career decision. I had it in the dilemma for a longtime. Now, I have decided to choose Networking/Network/System Programming, I'm going to focus on it. I dont want to be a "Jack of all", I wanna be a Expert on these areas.

* TCP/IP
* Unix/Linux Programming

Other things are not important. But still I read other topics, My focus is those two. One book per month. I need to complete CCNA and CCNP in this year.

2007 New Year

2007 - New Year was good. Got lot of SMS from friends wishing "Happy New Year". Kannan & Mani called up from US to wish Happy New Year. I spend all the my time with My Boy and Wife. It is his first New Year and Our's too. And it is my first Christmas/New Year without my Mom. I really miss her a lot.

Yesterday, I read an article in Health. I found the SMART principle by Paul J.Meyer. If you want to achieve some goal, it should be SMART.

What 'SMART' ? Yes, It should be

S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Attainable
R - Realistic
T - Tangible

All my life goals remain same for this year also, I need to SMART it. I mean I need to put it into words according to SMART principle.

Today, We had our Team Lunch in Adithya sponsered by Sankar.
