Today I'm trying to observe how it feels to blog everything ;)

https is available for blogs now! I just set by blog to use https! Awesome!

I uploaded a lot of stuff on PasteFS yesternight. A lot of it was private stuff, so that doesn't appear on the site.

I'm working on the front end at the moment. But I also have to keep in mind that Zaheer is also working on that part so I have to make sure that I keep my changes in a log so that there are no conflicts and if there are they can be resolved.

Today I forgot to bring my glasses (spectacles), I don't know how would I spend the rest of the day. I have two deadlines at hand today! :(

I came to the office at about 1:05 pm which is quite late already.

Israeli Brutality and What Should be Our Stance

I'm not a supporter of Alqaeda or any kind of terrorism. But here's what I think about the state of israel.

State of israel is a terrorist state. Jews have a history of crimes against humanity. Jews think they're superior than the rest of the mankind and the rest of the mankind is inferior to them. Jews can kill people whenever they like and no-one is justified to say a word against them.

I'm fed-up of people who try to differentiate between jews and zionists. In my opinion all jews are either zionists or they're the reason zionism is prevailing. So directly or indirectly they're involved in whatever the shit is happening.

There's a piece of history that they ignore. Whenever their brutality and ruthlessness goes out of bound, ALLAH create someone who slaughters them and show them what they're really worth. For example the most recent thing that happened against them was what they call holocaust, Hitler and his army slaughtered them, but at that difficult time, it were Muslims who supported them. Even fought for them against the German Army.

As their brutality is increasing against Muslims, I'm positive that ALLAH will create someone soon to take the revenge. But this time, Muslims should not give them refuge. Muslims should promise themselves that they will not give them refuge. For the sake of our Muslim brothers and sisters they have slaughtered and keep slaughtering to this day, we will not give them refuge.

How My Last Interview Turned Into a Disaster

A few days ago, I was called for an interview in Soliton Tech for job. At the moment I'm kinda jobless so I needed this one.

They were in search for a mongodb expert. I'm not mongodb expert but I know Cassandra. Cassandra is also a database. NoSQL in nature, just like mongo-db. So, they first had an interview with me on the phone and they were satisfied that I was the person they were looking for. But then I was called for an interview face to face. They also told me that I should prepare myself for mongodb, just-in-case if anything related to mongodb is asked in the interview.

So I spent two days on mongodb. Though it wasn't very tough for me because I already have an idea how these databases look like. I still spent my time with it to know as much as I could about that database.

On the day of interview, I went, I was there on time. And three people came to interview me. I was satisfied that I know enough, I can answer anything they ask.

But still, I was going for an interview and the people who were going to interview were all very knowledgeable (in my opinion) so there was a bit of fear too. This is where everything went wrong.

So, they asked me question related to cassandra. But hey, I never saw anything like that in Cassandra! and anyway I answered them to the best of my knowledge, and they started to negate on everything I said. So much that I got confused that everything I ever learned was perhaps a lie.

They were asking me question that I never expected, for example, how do you create primary keys in cassandra? or compound keys?

For example he asked me "If I'm making a database for school, then how the student keys will be created, what should be the primary key?"

Now this is a question which can have lots and lots of answers. Usually the student's roll no. is a primary key. So that's what I said. But the problem is, cassandra doesn't have a fucking auto-increment like mysql does. So they suggested some ridiculous solutions and I accepted them. But in a real world, those solutions doesn't work. We must create a simple primary key so for that some third party softwares are used. Cassandra can't do that.

Now all the questions they asked were almost just like that. I answered them according to what I thought the interviewers wanted to listen. But then, that was not what they wanted to listen.

For example, he said how is data stored on a hard-disk. I said sequentially, but he refused, he said that sql server stores data in form of a tree. I said ok I haven't worked in ms-sql server so I can't say anything.

Anyway, they weren't satisfied with my answers I could easily guess that.

So, I came home, confused, and then I started to do a research about everything I said and everything they said, and I came to know... that I was right!

They either didn't know, or were trying to confuse me.

Anyway, I learned the lesson, whenever go for an interview, take the interviewer as an idiot!
