No I am not stuck at the marhaba lounge. I got home in one piece. I can’t explain how refreshing that was too see the lush green landscape of kerala after 3 years. I am trying to enjoy every bit of it. However this jet lag is killing me. I fell asleep 3 in the afternoon. Aaron is much worse. He wakes up 3 in the morning every day. Things have turned bit better today
I have’nt been able to get an uninterrupted net connection so far. The BSNL service is the one I am supposed to have. I burned the modem and had to send it to the shop for repair. I am now living with a GPRS connection on my phone. I am reading your comments on this blog and on flickr (you asshole).
Things in Fort Kent doesn’nt look good. Authorities had to evacuate a section of town after St John river flooded. Though I got news that my house is Ok. I am bit worried
Now off for a movie
Is a waiting lounge for business class and first class passengers in Emirates. However they allow passengers travelling through Europe or Americas to use it for no cost.
This is completely different from the airline lounges in US where you pay another 100$ more on your air ticket to check your mails and eat pretzels from much larger packets.
Marhaba has free bar, with atleast 3 verities of scotch, beer and brandy; and a three course buffet (real food,). Seats are reclinable and you can sleep comfortably.
This is a bonus steal we got in this trip.
“ Mom I see two ghosts
Aaron; spotting two women in parda.
I am in Dubai International airport waiting for my next flight to Cochin aka Kochi. Its the first time I am flying Emirates. I am impressed. Aaron who had prior experience flying domestically with in US was the first one to express his gratification. I found him enjoying every bit of his first international flight after coming out of his infant years. He felt comfortable with the console and suddenly was in charge and even helped sunila to find her movies. The flight was light. So Aaron even found space to make him comfortable lying down on the back occuppying the vacant seat next to him. And I am happy that I got out of my comfort zone to book my flight in Emirates instead of Air India. My next flight at 3:25am local time.
I am sitting at gate A6 of JFK waiting to board Emirates flight EK202 to Dubai and then to Cochin,India. I am meeting my folks and other friends over there after a gap of 3 Years.
Checkin were smooth except for my carry-in bag. I had to check that in. Its a standard size carry-in bag. I used to carry that in or gate check in all the time I travelled in domestic. Apparently emirates is strict on the dimension and weight of the bag. The weight should be less than 15lbs and should be as small as a big laptop bag. So I had to check in that. I had to re arrange the rest of the luggage and had to leave half of my camera gear in one of those baggage. I am just being optimistic that I will see my stuff at cochin.
Another notable difference I saw is with the security. Its lot lighter than in any domestic security I had been through.
Ok I need a smoke. Do they have a smoking lounge in here?
I have seen this term popping up now and then in various contexts in blogsphere. It ought to be something new. Wikipedia hesitate to go the right article right away before it suggests few options in various contexts. That means this is a newly coined word.
A preciese defenition of Polyglot programming is in wikipedia anyway
Polyglot program are to make liberal use of languages which use different characters for comments and to redefine various tokens as others in different languages. Often good use is made of quirks of syntax
As you would imagine it is stupid to have a cocktail of code in your project leaving the codebase unreadable, and bugs difficult to track. Industry has come in terms to allow a redefenition .
“Embedded SQL with C#, C and Assembly all could be categorized as polyglot program”
The ideology here is to choose the right language for the right application, reducing the development cost of the software project.
