Blogspot New features

Today, I explored new features of blogspot. The Widget controlling thing is great. I added a couple of widgets in my blog; a news widget on the right side and a google adsense widget on top of posts. :D

Nice upgrading :)

A day of remembrance

November 30th, 2006 will go in the record books as the day when Muhammad Yousaf broke a couple of records. For me there will be one more addition other than these, that will be my last day in Intagleo Systems (Pvt) Ltd.
Woww....... A year and 10 months...... 648 days to be precise..........from Feb 21st 2005 till Nov 30th 2006.......................... a wonderful experience and great learning helped me to get a job in Techlogix Pvt Ltd.
Developers of both teams; CCTV and Agrando(RTV) arranged a farewell for me. A couple of old colleagues were called too. We had lunch in AFC, H-Bloack branch. It was great fun. Thanx to everyone a lot. I appreciate everyone for giving me such an importance.
The Experience:
The time I spent in Intagleo was unique in its own way. I learned new domain, technologies and tools. I came across many problems and the way my managers helped me out is unforgettable. I appreciate for what they have done for me and I give them high regards. The staff was very helpful and caring, they were always there whenever I needed any guidance. I really appreciate the times my network manager spent with me, the approaches he told me to follow in the development field.......are tooo goood. My managers always put me at ease in handling my responsibilities and I enjoyed my fellow developers experiences and made them enjoy my experiences toooo. They all treated my like their brother and shared every problem with me and I did the same with them. We tried to helped each other in any problem which was bugging anyone of us. We participated in many games(indoor and outdoor) and I still smile on those events, lunchs, dinners and farewells which we gave to our fellow developers....I did not think that I will be getting a farewell so early in my life, but still I had a great time with everyone there and I wish them best of luck for the future.

Yousuf breaks 30-year-old record

A typically elegant, clipped on-drive for four off Corey Collymore took Mohammad Yousuf from 44 to 48 on the fourth day of the final Test between Pakistan and West Indies at Karachi. A modest raise of the bat acknowledged that the drive also took him past one of the longest-standing records in cricket, of most runs in a calendar year.
Sir Viv Richards's had scored 1710 runs in 1976, a memorable run during which he scored two double-hundreds against England in England and the closest anyone had come to it since was Ricky Ponting in 2005, with 1544 runs. And just before he went past Richards tally, he had glided past Zaheer Abbas's record for the most runs made by a Pakistani batsman in a three-Test series. Abbas had made 583 runs against the visiting Indians in 1978-79.

A series of unfortunate events for PCB

Thanks to the Australian umpire Darrel Hair, Pakistan cricket has been in the spotlight since August's Oval Test against England when the captain, Inzamam-ul Haq, refused to take his team back on the field after it was accused of ball-tampering.
Inzamam was acquitted of tampering but was handed a four-match ban for bringing the game into disrepute, and according to Zaheer Abbas, who was Pakistan's manager on the tour, he had "lost the confidence" of senior board officials.
Inzamam's replacement, Younis Khan, last week refused to lead the side, saying he did not want to be a "dummy" captain. The refusal prompted Khan to resign, although he was reinstated by Ashraf on Saturday, hours before the team's departure for India and the Champions Trophy.
The crisis gripping Pakistan cricket intensified on Monday with the resignation of the PCB's director of operations, Abbas Zaidi.
Zaidi's departure comes three days after the resignation of the former PCB chairman, Shaharyar Khan, and two days after Mushtaq Ahmed was sacked as assistant coach for the Champions Trophy. This is what an umpire can do.................. Not only he can turn the face of the match but he can also turn the fate of the team playing that match. Lets hope everyting turns out gooood.........and Pakistan return home with the Champions Trophy. Good luck Pakistan Cricket Team ;)
