Writer’s Block?

I know I am late. Why am I writing this only now? I usually do this when my class gets over on a Friday. I was trying to figure out a reason for it, but failed. I hate to say that I was lazy over the weekend, but facts cannot be hidden. I was indeed lazy after a week full of fun with the folks in the picture below:

They came to me for AM 3480. We’ve some positive remarks from them on the contents that were covered in this course about Access Manager. And I sincerely hope that the concepts discussed in this course comes in handy for them, when they get into their respective projects. I am sure, it will. Of course, I didn’t spare any of them from the usual ‘teach back’ assignment even this time and they all gave a decent show. It went into the late evening on the last day of the training program. So the least I should do to help myself from their curses for keeping them so late even on the final day of the training program is to put them up on my blog:

Inspired by the enthusiasm of a few of them who came for this training, I continued to do some research on the Identity Management Products of Sun. Consequently, I found myself in the Sun Learning Center even on Saturday trying to do a few things with the new version of Sun Java System Identity Manager. Don’t know, I was missing some basics and I messed up with most of my experiments done on that day. I was also trying to use the Access Manager 7.1 component from JES 5.0. And to add on to that, I was playing around with this whole stuff in Solaris 10 Zones. But I messed it up big time and all I achieved from Saturday’s adventure is a severe back pain, which is quite annoying.

I couldn’t sit with my laptop after that and I could think of nothing to write, even though I wanted to scribble down something. On such occasions I generally pick up a book and read. And this time, I went through a book which I bought through Sify Mall a couple of days back. It didn’t take me much time to read through this book. It was never boring and it kept taking me back to my college days. I wasn’t the best of students in my college, yet I had done enough mischiefs to carry back some good memories from my college campus which I cherish even to this moment. My friends at college, of late, have been blaming me for getting them into the habit of drinking so many cups of coffee a day (it’s just Madras filter Coffee and not Vodka for heavens sake). Hey hold on, I think I am getting into some nostalgic mood now and I don’t really want to drag my long suffering readers into that. So I am logging off, trying to think of some good things that i did in my college, that would have made my mother feel really proud (it’s difficult though).
