Bangla Unicode Phonetic Parsing Script

The Bangla Unicode Phonetic Parsing Script is here !!! This has been a great development and the bangla web community will be delighted to use this script wherever they want to write Bangla in UNICODE (in phonetic way).

The ease of implementation of the script gives a kick-start to the developers who want to harness its value. And a intuitive keyboard switching mechanism sets the users at ease – no need to take your hands off from keyboard while you want to mix English and Bangla !

The next steps would be to make it a standard solution in this arena – having support for all major browser versions. We are looking forward to seeing more development of it!

Hats off to you Hasin !

Pageflakes, here I come !

Although it’s been a while I am in touch with Pageflakes, recently I have joined in the development team as a Development Engineer.

I started as a community developer, developed some small flakes, and then was asked to join the team as a developer. Currently my days in Pageflakes are going with much excitement as working in Pageflakes is fun!

We need to do so much things before releasing a new feature, yet the excitement is never less !! We develop flakes, we test them, the flakes pass through life cycle but when its released and used by many users, you can’t help flying in the air in excitement !

Are you using it?

I am now a somewhere in…partner

Today I have been included as a member of styret in somewhere in… It’s a long awaiting status that I have been dreaming of since I joined in May 01, 2005 ! It took a longer time than usual as I was working in a part-time basis.

I believe that I have learnt a lot of things during my stay in somewhere in… for the last few months. These learnings not only includes developer’s knowledge, but also includes strategic thinking, social networking, afoofa, community involvement, collaboration and many other excellent knowledge.

In my own judgement, I see my days in somewhere in… as an investment in creating a better future: both from personal and organizational viewpoint. Not only I learnt many things but also I helped my company in creating colorful moments !

At the end, I can see that my responsibility has increased with this status and I assure everybody that will strive for fulfilling it to the farmost extent.

Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, & Nobody

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
