Ran across this post on the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8202378.stm) regarding a 90 year old Nairobian man who recently expired. He decided to get himself educated and enrolled in school at the age of 85. Next time, you think it is too late to start something, reconsider it :)

You have to be an immigrant to the USA, to understand this :) .

My friend, Hareesh, sent this posting on an online forum related to immigration matters

I am so HAPPY today. My lawyer told me that my daughter can sponsor both me and my wife once she is 18. She is only 3 now, so thats 15 years away only. It would have taken 20+ years with my EB2-based case (PD May 2008). I am so HAPPY today.

OverHeard : Comment about Software development

Filed under: Fun,OverHeard — Vinay @ 11:01 pm

Comment by an esteemed colleague when discussing the need to purchase hardware to fix performance issues..

Software is like a gas.. it expands to fill all the space (capacity) available to it”

This is derived from Myhrvold’s law which states “As the software becomes more complex, the likelihood of problems tend to increase”. The original article is on Wired.com at http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.09/myhrvold.html.
