Blowing in the wind, my friend

·

Last night Tipu has been snatched in Gulshan 1. The bloddy muggers took away his laptop, mobile and wallet. He had also been injured by those creatures of hell. Feeling extremely sorry for him. He is the most goody-goody boy in our office and one of my most favorite colleague. So when I got that news today morning , it hurts a lot.

Yesterday I heard an amazing song sang by John lennon, “Imagine”. Also I found one of my most favorite song “Blowing in the wind” by Bob dylan.

These crime news make me very anxious when I think about my future generation. What place we are leaving for my children.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ‘n’ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ‘n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
Bob Dylan – Blowing in the wind

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

John Lennon – Imagine

phpexperts get-together at 16th september, 2006

SomewhereIn

It was a great party yesterday we had at somewherein. From this month we started the phpexperts monthly meeting which is sponsored by somewherein this month. Yesterday we were scheduled to start at 3:00 pm. The first who knocked the door were tahsin, najnin and kamrunnahar. Tahsin is the member of phpexperts and other two were her interestd friends. Later Prasun and Biplob came in. Shortly after that we had Mizan bhai, Rinku da, Munaz bhai, murshed, Arafat bhai, hasn, Emon, joyeb, rafik bhai, shoeb bhai, raisul and another friend of rafik bhai.

We introduced somewherein and pageflakes in our meeting. We discussed about the current trends and the market situation. Everyone agree that we should increase the awareness abd professionalism in this field. RInku da and Mizan bhai shows us what is the current situation. Later we had an interesting presentation from Hasan regarding design patterns and then we all started talking about DP. Dp is always useful but unnecessary use of DP may decrease the productivity and increase the cost of project.

After hasan’s presentation we discussed about security features of an web application and I show how sql injection and xss could be vulnerable for your applications.

Mizan bhai and ringku da talked about some interesting issues regarding database optimization.

The most interesting part was after hours of the meeting. We 9 people were still there in some close conversation and we discussed about promoting php in Bangladesh as well as promoting the name of local developers and groups internationally. We all agreed that we should bring forward the name of Bangladesh in this sector. We planned about starting some open source projects. But starting it in large scale from the beginning wouldn’t be that much effective as we see many well planned initiative comes to an end because of communication gap and lack of management. So we planned to start it in small scale – our first open source project will be a “Bangla Chat Solution” – I advanced a bit in planning and I will share it with group from today.

Finally we got a fantastic idea to write a very good bangle book on PHP. Everyone was so happy with this idea that we were surprised – this is a real problem that there is no good bangle book in Bangladesh right now. So if we, the leading php community can start writing one, it would be great obviously. We setup a small group who are interested to write the book. Mizan bhai and I will manage the project and co ordinate the writers. Primarily I, Mizan bhai, Arafat bhai, Munaz bhai, Raisul, Hasan, Murshed and Prasun agree to write. But if anyone of you are interested, you are most welcome to join.

The meeting ends at 8:30 and we are very happy with the decisions taken. We hope that you will join in next meeting and participate with us in these interesting sessions.

Thanks to somewherein for sponsoring this great party.

Ipshita is my colleague in somewhere in… and we both work in java desk. Ipshita recently did a very good job which really surprised me. Ipshita’s father and some of his friends run an orphanage in Bangladesh. Ipshita spend her salary of first month and bought a television for the kids in orphanage, so that they could enjoy the world cup. I am very surprised by her work.

Kudos to you Ipshita. You did really a great job.
