Scale and Quality

The new driving force of global economy are scale and quality. The challange is now to have scale that is global in size without compromising the quality. The capital is not a issue now in today's global economy. My experience of last couple of project management says that today clients are more concerned about timely execution of projects and quality of work than the cost of the project. So, message is clear that quality is non negotiable. There is no dearth of capital. Companies, who can show management bandwidth to balance scale and quality will be the new force of technology world.

Google API has a BUG

Recently i was checking Google federated login API implementation with Zoho. While using Google login facility with Zoho I encountered a BIG error. I logged in to Zoho with "Sign in using Google" facility. After using it when i logged out of Zoho, I found that i was still logged in in my Google account.

Solution - Go for freshers and harnesh their infinte capacity to work on your dream project. The second point is well known fact whether you are starting a comapny or your PHD. You need to know which existing problem you are going to solve and how

A day on Social Web and OpenSocial with google

On Oct 17th, google hosted a seminar on Social Web and Opensocial api's. The Le' Meridian environment and quality of seminar was satisfactory. The Seminar was invite only. It started with introductory note on social web and need of opensocial by Rajdeep Dua. The comes the next seminar much awaited "differences between 0.7 and 0.8 apis" by Anash Oommen. A very decent presentation by Anash. With a small tea break a presentation on "shindig Architecture" by Rajdeep Dua who tried to make it a very complex topic as much as he can. This followed by a more complex presentation on "OpenSocial Compliance" ( God knows whether topic was complex or presentation :) ). Then comes the lunch session but which was quite decent :).

It was a fail for me as my shindig php version was too adamant to run at all. I will dig it more as al
