How to Be a Team Player

I come up with list of things which one should posses to be a Team player from my personal experiences and my friends views.

First and foremost is - You should not be Punctual. If team supposed to meet at 9:00 AM, then you should not reach before 9:30 AM.

2. You should not ask people to lessen their sleep for the sake of going Out.

3. You need to have habits of Having Fag and Drinking Beer (at least).

I found that I can never be a team player, 1 and 3 Disqualifies me from being so.

Solaris 10 - Booting Problems - Unexpected Trap

If Solaris 10 is booted in xVM edition and then rebooted in Developer edition, you may end in 'unexpected trap press any key to reboot' and it never reboots in either of xVM or Developer edition. I found on 'google' that it is bug in Solaris 10 but not in Solaris 8 or 9. It may happen when there is power failure, if Solaris is in xVM. I found solution, of course from google and it worked for me.

This is because of data corruption on ramdisk, so you need to get a new one.

Boot into Failsafe Mode...

Then mounting the drive read/write as /a

1. cd /a/platform/i86pc
2. mv boot_archive boot_archive_bad
3. cd /
4. bootadm update-archive -R /a
5. shutdown -i 6

Many thanks to unknown friends and data on web, so that I was able to do my work.

Completed 2 Yrs in Vegayan, Mumbai


I have completed my Two Years Stay @ Vegayan and Its been an exciting journey in many ways. If I compare myself in two blocks - first year and second year, In first year, I have learned many things and in second year, I am able to use/implement them. I transformed from a novice programmer to a person who takes initiative and willing to work on more challenging things. Two years of Professional experience taught me many things, how to work in a Team, meeting Deadlines and its an on-going learning opportunity. Life in Mumbai is just great, many places to explore and many people to meet. Now onwards, I need to check myself, How well I learned lessons.
