A customary post on my blog, I make it a point to jot down the crazy stuff I did over the year that was…  Nothing huge, but yes, its a pointer to remind myself of how bad I still am and how “badd-er” (I know thats not a word! ) I can get!

The post is also a very cheeky means to get one more post up on my blog… and make up for the lack of writing more and to please myself that I can write. You guys can definitely identify with the IT-manager-performance-biscuit part right???

So here goes, a quick round up of the worth mention stuff from 2009:

1. New years eve was awesome… Had a wonderful evening at @reinventin_self‘ s place. Played darts, bored holes through his wall
2. Gifted dad a shirt on his birthday… Usually, mom does the honours, this time around, it was me! Glad he liked it!
3. Got finally assigned on a project at Nokia.  Dream come true for a die hard nokia fan!  This has perhaps been the biggest highlight of the year.  Got to see the whole OS as it functions… Have been working there as a build and process engineer ever since…  Lovely life, got to learn some amazing things… phenomenally awesome team to work with everyday… lovely life overall…  This one point goes out to all those guys who I work with and have made my job something I just love! Thanx machan’s!
4. Got punctual… Personal best so far this year! I’m in office at 8.30 in the morning. DOT. Learnt to prioritize things and work smarter!  I think this was in the list a couple of years back!  Glad to mention I’m doing a good job at it now…
5. Was part of the team that put together BCB8 at Yahoo! campus in bangalore.  Awesome fun! Loads of stuff learnt… Worked with GOD level guys while putting together the BCB8 website… Interesting ride overall!
6. Moved into my own haunt at JP Nagar… Most of you guys know this already, we’ve had a couple of #technights here so far…
7. Got my own domain!  If you hit the website at http://thecruisemaniac.com, you’ve been redirected here to http://cruisemaniac.com. The new place where I hang out. Freaky shot at it, but hey, I AM CRUISEMANIAC! B-). Do read the interesting story behind the domain purchase…
8. Went on a nice long trip to Chikmaglur and got a sneakpeek behind how CCD works… credits to Swaroop!
9. Got myself a new LCD monitor! 22″ samsung glory on my computer table B-)
10. As you are reading this point, I’m at Goa enjoying the beaches and the new year After a hectic one year of a lot of work, this is intense respite!

Well, there does it! A nice, action-filled year has come to an end…  Quite a few ups and hence, the downs for the year have not been mentioned explicitly!

So… Here’s wishing you a wonderful year in 2010!  Have fun! And give it all you got!
