Finished Greenfield training

Fininshed Greenfield Training at Accenture on Datawarehousing on the 17th Sept and currently waiting to be assigned a workstation where I can start getting geeky again.

Come to think of it, I have been out of touch with a computer with constant, working net connectivity for almost 3 months. Oh Dear !

Want to get started on Informatica ASAP and brush up a few important concepts from DWH itself besides getting a good hold on joins in RDBMS.

Let's hope all that manages to work out !

Where's that forward biased NPN Transistor in my brain ?

Damn!

I always had that nagging feeling that an array of NOT gates were connected between my sensors and the brain...

I kinda feel warm in winters (or is that too much warm clothes?), feel cold during summers (or is it too little clothes?), and today one BIG surprise....

I was preparing myself for a very thorough PL/SQL training session spanning 3 hours and I had 2 cuppa coffee...

... and I can barely keep my eyes open.

I always felt a little groggy after having coffee, but today I know for a fact that I feel sleepy after having coffee.

Oh dear... what do I do to wake up ???

Have bottled water ?

Oh dear! It's been that long ?

Ages since I last posted....

Basically I had been having issues logging into my old Blogger account.. and today I setup the GMail account integrated with blogger correctly and now I am up and running.

Working at Accenture CDC (Chennai IDC) as a Fresher in Informatica right now.

Will post my experiences from now on....

Starting from the 15th of July when I came to Chennai, till date (14th if August).

BTW - I had a great birthday today thanks mainly to Sujata Dutta and friends who brought a very nice cake and surprised me with it in the break....

BSNL is full of surprises

.. and today IT WAS A NICE surprise for me to wake up early morning and realize my bandwidth has been boosted to 1.5MBPS !

The download cap has been increased to 2.5GB, which means that I can search around and download stuff at the safe time instead of scheduling it to late night when the cap is removed.

I still hope they keep the "Night Unlimited" scheme. So this means, I get to have a bandwidth of >1MBPS, 2.5GB cap, AND NU !!

Too bad I will be in Kolkata only for 4 months more...
