Law 1.Every Software Engineer continues his state of chatting or forwarding mails unless he is assigned work by external unbalanced manager.
Law 2. The rate of change in the software is directly proportional to the payment received from client and takes place at the quick rate as when deadline force is applied.
Law 3. For every Use Case Manifestation there is an equal but opposite Software Implementation.
Law 4. Bugs can neither be created nor be removed from software by a developer. It can only be converted from one form to another. The total number of bugs in the software always remains constant.

Swift!!

June 27th, 2005 by Shiva | Comments | Filed in Random Thoughts

I took the Swift for a test drive last weekend. Amazing feeling I must say! The gear changes are soo slick, spot on .. like a hot knife through table butter!
The acceleration is smooth, and yet let’s you know it is there if you want to leave in a hurry. Perfect seating position for me (I’m 6′5″).

The vehicle took my heart away. It’s now a Swift or nothing at all! I’m booking it next weekend. Let me get my bonus!! pllluueeessse God pluuueeesse!
