After delaying by 2 months, I finally "delivered" the software I had promised to Rollwell. They will be running the Inventory Management System (IMS) soon. It was awesome being a BA (Business Analyst). I got to act all doophusy and make bimbo comments such as "Second combo box gets populated based on first combo box?? Radical" and the like. However, after fire fighting till 3 am and then doing UAT during breaks in the office, I delivered a very stable and "does-what-it-is-supposed-to" IMS. The customer was really happy. He was blown away by the simple yet clean UI, which Swaroop had a little and my brother had a lot to do with.
While I was explaining how we have used all open source tools which are all legal and have free licenses, the customer was shocked. He asked, "But Pavan, if you have used Open Source, anyone from the Internet can access my data!" Apparently the concept of Open Source is quiet well known these days. I am sure people think, "We have 2 words, "Open" and "Source". I mean, how difficult is it?" Go figure!
All in all, it was a job well done. Next time around, I plan to be the "short tempered cynical dev". Wish me luck.

great man! done and delivered...cool. i sort of felt bad in between because i couldn't contribute much. which is the second reason why i'm studying so hard for the certifications (first reason being: i love proper education). e.g: i'm a JSP bond now :)
ya i know.. i didn't even do the stuff i knew well. there's a whole different set of excuses for that :)
I don't need to say it explicitly, so if you could just understand yourself and treat us, we would be indeed very much happier.
