Recent Unemployment Problem

Within last few days I received few mails from newly graduate students. All of them are asking for jobs. I feel they are little bit worry about jobs and at the same time they are afraid. Ok let start from BUET. Batch’02 completes their undergraduate last month now they are in job market. According to their information fifty percent of them get suitable job and rest are looking for one. Is it the usual scenario? I guess not. When we complete our undergraduate most of us get suitable jobs except few variants before our results. I guess the percentage was more than ninety. I don’t have exact data about batch’01; I guess they were closer to us.

Now, is there anything wrong? Well this is a big question. I suggest we are producing more computer engineer than we required. Actually we don’t need such a big number. So the new engineers are facing the obvious repercussions, Unemployment Problem. Is that a desired situation for us? It can’t be.

I figure few reasons for their sufferings. I am not pretty sure, either you agree or not. First of all we complete our undergraduate at November 2006 after that Batch’01 complete there undergraduate and now Batch’02. So three batch complete their under graduation within last one year. So here is temporary inundation of skilled computer engineers. There was no session for graduate studies in between; lots of peoples are waiting for fall’2008. I guess this problem will reduce significantly after that.

The second thing is alarming! In our country we don’t have any large software organization. Few of the telecommunication companies are the first choice for the job seekers. Most of our software companies are based on outsourcing. The alarming thing is outsourcing is not growing at its previous pace. Most of our outsourcing based companies just stuck. Few companies are running out of work. At the same time telecommunication organization are saturated. I am not sure about what happens on coming years?

Few days ago, “Computer Science is going down Nationally and Internationally” was a title of the conversation in our group. Everybody express their ideas on favor of this. So it must have some truth. If you spend time on internet you will find hundreds of article about dot com crush. These are not good signs. Personally, I always feel that hey-day of Computer Programmer still far away. But, most of the intellects do not support me on that occasion. I feel we will reach our zenith when hardware industry overcomes their shortcomings.

Anyway, I hope this Unemployment Problem is very temporary and I expect we guys will try our best for our followers in current situation.

Admission Application!!!

Things are going typically in fact not very fine. I have completed four applications. I am little bit afraid about the number. Usually students from our university send fifteen to twenty. Comparing to them my performance is very very poor. May be I will send one or two more and the rest up to admission committee. Actually I am tired of it and I decide not do any more. I covet you guys will pray for me. This time once again I prove I can never be good at marketing :-( Anyway let see what happened.

Software Engineering

Software Development is kind of weird job. The most interesting it is never ending job. No requirement is final; nothing is vital; easy going pretty mundane job, variation less life. It is my third year in professional software development. Interestingly I found very few new things in my little career.

I am working on a product from last year. I work for Blue Cielo ECM solutions. What I am doing? The early face of the product was very interesting because we build it from the scratch. After that I am enhancing that one. There is a very specific framework and I don’t have to think for any kind of enhancement. I am just doing because I have to, because I am supposed to. It seems like an eternal project that never ends.

Sometime I feel every software company should have two set of teams, one team build the software from scratch and other will take over after a certain time and do the further enhancement. This is very frustrating to work in single product for a long time.

From my experience very few percent of time in software development is interesting, rest of the part are too boring. Anyway, if you are a software engineer then you know all these very well. Not much challenge exists in software engineering. Sometime I feel this is a profession for dead(!) man who need no charm, who are afraid to take new challenges.

My organization is not big enough but I don’t think that scenario is different in large organization like Google or Microsoft. I am very young guy, I start my career. This is my high time to take new challenge, new risk but don’t get any. Young guys in software engineering ask yourselves, are you taking that much challenges to your limit? Are pushing yourselves to the limit? If you never push yourself to the limit then how could you know your limit? If you don’t know your limit then you never know yourself.

Aziz Mian

One thing I missed in my last post about my last tour, “Aziz Mian”. At first glance he seems a bluffer, he exploit tourists and so on. I met him at Jaflong. He is a Rikshaw puller in his professional life. Tentatively, he is twenty to twenty three years old. I met him at weird place. When we reached Jaflong I got a pee, I was looking for a toilet. Aziz Mian show me the way to a toilet. He got a peculiar facial structure. My English is not that much good to describe Aziz Mian.

Anyway Aziz Mian starts his conversation with me by making me conscious about fraudulent. Finally he wants to stay with us for the rest of the time. By the time we figure him as an interesting character, he is indeed. So we took him with us for the rest of the time we stay at Jaflong. We found him as a good company. He shows us every different place. We were aware of tourist places, lot of people stay there just to exploit tourists. We consider Aziz Mian as one of them. We brought up in such a society that, it is difficult for us to consider anybody innocent. We never see the innocence in our surroundings.

We were mistaken. He is not that kind of guy. He is such a simple man with minimum expectation. Even he was ashamed to take money from us at the time of goodbye. I see the true innocence in his face. I will remember Jaflong for a long time just because Aziz Mian. His expression, intension, passion, and love everything was so innocent that we couldn’t but loved him.

He is garrulous in nature. Hasib and I send Rassel to keep him busy. We notice an important similarity among them, Both of them like tribal girls ;-). They chat about tribal girls, their life style, etc. Anyway he made our Jaflong experience colorful. When we were getting back from Jaflong I give him a hug, that was more than he expects and he starts crying. We were very embarrassed. If you ever go to Jaflong and meet Aziz Mian, tell him that I still remember him. One thing I am missing right now while writing this post, is Aziz Mian's photograph.

Social Networking Sites

Facebook is the place for weird, freak peoples. I login into facebook when I am very very pissed off. I perform few random things and quit from there. Basically I never liked any kind of social networking site as I don’t like television, radio etc. They are designed for sick those don’t have any thing to do. These are just waste of valuable energy. Just think how much time you spend for your social networking site, in return what you get? These social networking sites are just a media. I guess they will be the largest media of next decade but surely I will never like them. Interesting thing is almost every day I heart about a new social networking site; they are growing like mushroom.

Pixie Story never ends

I thought that the pixie story is over. But I was wrong pixie is still alive somewhere in my mind. Pixie is still resides somewhere in my city. How can I forget that pixie story? Pixie stories never ends; they remain in eternal space of time. They strike sometime like lightening. They remain alive. After long fucking years she is back in my life. I know the signs. I can hear her footsteps. I can’t resist. I am undone. This is my weakest point in the universe. I don’t know what to do. She makes me scattered every time she comes in my life. May be this is because I still love her may be something else. This is the only thing I can never deal with; this is the story where nobody can help me.

I will be fine if you never come again, I know I will be happier than ever if you come again. But please don’t make our life more complicated, Please keep them simple. Anyway let see what happens on coming days!!!

Difficulties with session from ContentHandler

Today, I had faced few difficulties on getting session from my content handler. Actually by default it does not have any session. You have to enable session for it which is pretty simple. Juzz implement an interface.

public class ContentHandler : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState

Thats all it expect to access session.

Flora & Fauna

I collect this one from Facebook. Very interesting one, I guess you would like it.

Search Engine and Blog

Interesting I have noticed about search engine but I couldn’t find out the reason behind it. When I was searching for d.com virus I didn’t find any good post or suggestion. Then I find out the solution by myself and write an article about how to cure it. I guess few like that post, at least that was helpful. And most interesting thing is that article appears as first result if anyone searches with key word “d.com virus”. But after two or three days later search engine drop that article not only from top but also from the search results. And now if you search with the same keyword you will find those results that I found at very first time. I thought about it today but I could not conclude with any good explanation. Do you know how search engine deals with blog posts?
