Summer of 2009

The Summer of 2009 has been really cold for the entire world. It is a crisis after 60 years and it shall probably be remembered for some time. Lack of vision has left many people the poorer, and a handful of them have survived the recession – probably either by bailing out ( and travelling in private jets ) or by keeping the boss happy ( however it may be )  .

And all that baggage ….

Today I just happened to visit the web page of the last organisation I had worked with , and found it having a fresh look . There was the RSS feed, the podcasts the Corporate blog .. everything “seemed” in place.

There was a podcast on a Refactoring given by a  very senior person. When I was in the organisation, they also had an imported book on the topic, but the book was always tucked neatly in the library shelves. In fact no one bothered to look at the book , for obvious reasons. Its amusing to see that a very senior person of the organisation should come out with a topic which was had been there for the last decade.

I can only conclude two things from this ; either they are really getting to know the topic ( which I think is not the case, as my experience has taught me ) ; what seems more of a genuine reason , is probably the client has asked about it .
