Splat | WiseTome.com

As you would have noticed, Splat and KalaaLog was inactive for more than a week now. The reason? I moved from India to US.

Last week, I moved to Denver, Colorado, as I got deputed here by my employer for a project. That meant, I had a lot to learn - both in terms of technology and business processes. And that meant, I was real busy.

Settling down in a new place is more cumbersome than I thought. There are a lot of things like papers to submit, back accounts to open and similar ones that I had to do. I did few of them and few more are pending.

In view of this, I have been just able to do work on Udantak other than my day job, and that meant, I had to leave Splat and KalaaLog without any updates. The case would be similar for a month or so.

Well, I had promised I would post the photos I took at Wikicamp. Delayed it might be due to several reasons, but I found some time to post them here.

Here are some snaps of Jimmy Whales, founder of Wikipedia.

I was on an idle chat with Thilak few days back, and he mentioned to me that he would be coming to Chennai.  Inquiring of his intention, I learned from him about the WikiCamp event to be held in Chennai.

What more?  I even found out that it is taking place in technology park where my office is situated - Tidel Park.

I registered myself for it.  You too can participate in this event to be held on the coming Sunday, 25th of February.  Just head over to the participant page, and add your name.  You can pay the fees at the spot - Rs.200/- about $4.5.

I look forward to meeting Thilak, and I would be glad to meet you if you come to the city in this regard.  Just head over to the contact form at WiseTome.com and drop me a message.

It is Rosalin’s birthday, today, Feb 9.

Wish you a Happy Birthday Rosalin.

”Leaders do not command excellence, they build excellence”

Leadership is a process that takes place in groups in which one member influences and controls the other members toward some common goal. Leaders have clear visions and they communicate these visions to their employees. They foster an environment within their companies that encourages risk taking, recognition and rewards, and empowerment allowing other leaders to emerge.

Managers are people who do things right, while leaders are people who do the right things.

-Warren Bennis

They improve people’s vision to a higher sight, raising the performance to a higher standard and building their personality beyond its normal limitations.
