Truly understanding Dynamic Controls
Must read if you are an ASP.NET developer. Read them letter by letter every month, memorize them.
This is the third time I am linking to these articles. Every time I (re)read them I understand something new.

It is a special day today
Today is doubly special. It’s my Nephew’s birthday today & I am completing a year in Proteans.
After running away from companies (mostly due to frequency mismatch between myself & management) ever since I left Sonata, I have managed to stay for a fully year in a team without any regrets. The tour was like, Sonata –> Wipro –> Intel –>Commerce Velocity (all in short duration). I am not saying the management was bad in these companies, but it would be appropriate to say their management styles were incompatible with my style of working (or the work itself in some cases). I am glad that here I have a
- Good challenging project
- An excellent learning experience
- A nice client who I can discuss and debate with & also learn from
- A very good down to earth CEO
- A wonderful team
- And most importantly, A trustworthy Manager, which is an endangered species in Corporate Earth IMHO
Thank you all for putting up with me for a Year.

New Rules to be kept by ICC
After watching the test match, someone has written some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification
- Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED ) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.
- While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
- While BATTING , AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
- UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.
- All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACISM only.
- MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advice only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.
- NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.
- THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE : If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING – "THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.
These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.
