Diary 83: The complex DT Mapper Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I watched the movie - "Pirates of the Silicon Valley" on YouTube. It showed how Microsoft stole things from Apple, Xerox and some small computer company to build its own product. Today, I woke up at around 11:00 am, due to a phone call from Ankit. He told me that there is some big problem that one of the projects is facing, and we all are supposed to help in that. There was no news about the new project. Anyways, I switched on my laptop. I found out that the wireless connection is not working. I got the hint about how the day would go today. Earlier I thought that the physical switch to switch on the wireless was broken, because whatever I do, it didn't show the indication light. Later, I figured it out that the wireless adapter is not working. So, I tried to find out how to do that manually. I tweaked here and there, and reached the device manager. There I looked for wireless adapter, and enabled it. And the wireless connection was back. I was relieved. The rest of the day was more or less, I being drowned in the DT Mapper code and trying to figure out the extremely complicated schema designs. Meanwhile, I had an awesome lunch - Baingaan bharta, Roti and Pyaaz. It was heavenly. I had 7 chapatis. Anyways, I was tired of the problem in the evening, and I sent out the status mail to everyone. No body was able to solve the problems assigned. I wanted to solve it, but it was just too frustrating, mainly because the aim of the project was not known. After that, I had some Tea, and started watching YouTube videos. Then, I started making the project scope document. I edited it a bit, and then discussed a few things with Akshay. I sent a final mail to the Webprint guy with the edited copy. After that, I went for a bath. I had nothing to do after that, so I reverted back to YouTube videos. Then, I relaxed for a bit, and headed for dinner. I watched the TV for a while, and then returned to my room. As I was browsing randomly I found out that Rebecca Black has released a new song - My Moment. I was shocked to see that. I don't like the song that much but yes, her voice sounds better. I really appreciate her courage to face the world like this. The lyrics of the song say that. Anyways, I started writing the diary after that, and now I plan to browse around for a while, and then go to sleep by 12:30 am.
