Amitabh Bachchan Visits Digicorp!!

February 17th, 2009 § 8

Tomorrow we will officially complete 1 year at our new office. We call it “Digicorp House”. And after one year I can say it is almost complete now and there won’t be any new construction work in near future.

So now we have lot of different areas in our office where various team members sit together. We have .NET cabin, PHP cabin, Conference room, HR cabin, Lunch area, Gaming room, Server room, PM cabin, Business development cabin, Reception etc. So there was a need to name each of these cabins properly to avoid confusion.

We thought about naming them after Indian rivers, mountains, Mahabharata names and all those traditional stuff most of the companies are doing.

But then there was no fun, no uniqueness to it. So Payal and I brainstormed for a while and here is the idea!!

“We name them after some great movies of Amitabh Bachchan, arguably the greatest actor of this millennium. ”

So here are final names

1 ) Server Room -> Sholay
(as there is too much heat and noise from the servers all the time)

2 ) .NET cabin -> Deewar
(D for Dot Net, D for Deewar)

3 ) PHP cabin -> Pukar
(Same logic as above)

4 ) Sanket and Nachiket cabin – Trishul
(This is one of my favorite movie)

5 ) Conference room – Shakti
(Give us strength to work after meeting ;) )

6 ) Director’s cabin – Don
(Well we are wanted at least in 11 countries ;) )

7 ) PM Cabin – ShehanShah
(
Messiahs to save the projects ;) )

8 ) HR Cabin – Sarkar
(As the name suggests HR is the Sarkar who pays us)

9 ) Gaming Room – The Great Gambler
(One of the most favorite areas of developers)

10 ) Reception – Lawaris
(Most of the time there is no one over there :) )

I hope Amitabh Bachchan visits some of this areas himself one day :) Just kidding guys, Let me know how did you find this idea and the names?

PS: Vishal (Sr. Developer, PHP) wrote wonderful reply to my mail about these names. Read it in comments.

Open Social is Out !!

November 3rd, 2007 § 0

Guys and Gals,
Just few days ago we saw how we can leverage Facebook and its platform to build exciting applications which can serve more than 50m users of Facebook. Now how about serving more than 100m users of all other Social Networking websites ??

That’s right, OpenSocial is out and it is out with bang. OpenSocial is a platform using which you can build applications only once and publish them on all the Social Networks like Orkut, Hi5, Ning, MySpace etc. Yes, MySpace is also there !!

OpenSocial documents are here and introductory demos are also explained here. We have been thinking about this all night and how we can quickly start developing applications. We have 2 facebook applications which we will definetely port on OpenSocial but also there is one more concept of ours i.e. www.petpooja.com. Application of Petpooja can very well work on Orkut as it is having maximum Indian crowd.

So everybody hang on for this exciting ride called OpenSocial :)

Regards,
Abhishek
