Married!!

From 9Th of July i am a married geek. Honeymoon was in Cyprus, it is a wonderful place neglected by the world. For a week We visited many wonderful shores of Turkish side of the island. I had the opportunity to listen to my inner voice.

Now i believe i have to devote more time to open source projects and be more vocal about open source adoption in my current company.

Marriage is going fantastic, we are learning to cook traditional Turkish meals and enjoying Istanbul. I love her so much.

New Projects

Moving to new projects.. I will be building lots of user interface development, using in-house developed XML based toolkit. Then a renderer will translate it to Java Swing. I will be writing rules and actions encoded in XML format. I hope to apply user interface design principles and be consistent over all. The project is massive, at least 40 developers will be working on it. My team is 5-6 skilled developers, hopefully we will build on consistency from day 1.

Broadband internet at last! and.... wireless

New Year

A new year, fresh hopes.. new dynamism.. whatever i do i want to do with passion and care, both in software development and in my social life.
success and happiness comes through passion and love..

happy new year all, hope 2005 would be a better year than 2004.

Are you having fun while you work?

Yep i do. i love sensing that the software i build saves time and generate value..
While developing software i not only cover the basics of the business process but try to simplify, clarify it.

by sometimes asking (not so) dumb questions, i try to understand why things are done the way it is.

Occaisonally there are things to improve and optimise. The challenge ahead of me is to improvise the usability of a web application
managing a complex workflow for automative industry.

Building a new model, negotiating timings with part suppliers is such a complex job. The specialists will virtually use our product all day and i want them to go home happy not frustrated..


Google is nowadays setting the standarts for the usability. The technique used is not fairly new.

Implementing it cross-browser style is the hard part and brilliant enginneers of Google managed it by providing a cookie backed-frame reloading scheme for old browsers.

Expect to see people frameworking and easing the pain in months to come. Simply the bar is raised to never come back down again.
PS: i was suprised to learn that Opera 7.x falls into old browser category for the lack of XmlHttpRequest

RIA Who will dominate ?

On-demand apps demand a richer browser
For Web applications to be wholly successful, we need new thin client technology

Laszlo hence Flash is my fav.

Microsoft Avalon is the runner-up.

For the Java side there will be strong players for sure. ..
