You know something. Life is just not fair. I made such a good application and no one is there to fill the data. I can't believe it. Within few minutes I draw the diagram of this application and I made it so quickly. I even put tooltip for every element of the application. So I was expecting that it will be easy for anyone to fill the data in my application.

And guess what, my manager told me to do the data entry by myself. Initially I was very unhappy about it. But then I thought I made this application; I should be the happiest user to use it.

Now that I'm writing this post, I have already entered the data of more than 200 units and clients with payment details. Practically everything worked fine. Although I was not in a real estate business but my diagram of database and application was just fine. I had included all the aspects of it.

Today, I came across an odd issue.
I was trying to link my blog to my geek friends in Links section.
Alright, I know two geeks in Microsoft, and a new friend I found at code.ae
So, what else? nothing...
All of my college friends are working either in Dnata or in Real Estate businesses. It's kind of depressing. We've studied Java together, We've studied e-commerce and network security together.
Maybe still I'm not enough geek! but I try to be. Maybe I didn't build a huge data center. Maybe I didn't work in a professional team. but I try to remain a programmer, someone who codes and makes applications. even if I just make facebook applications, it's related to my studies and my passion.
I like Dubai, but this city has no mercy for you (as a geek). It will make you a real estate agent.
I'm going to continue my Masters from the next academic year, hoping to see some friends like myself. but I'm kind of depressed now!

So if you consider yourself a geek! let me know, I'm looking for Geek friends

I must confess. As a person with MCSD.net, I was always afraid of ADO.net. I always tried to do my tasks with the help of ODBC. (Actually for some while I gave up programming, now I'm just back again).

I don't know why I was always confused with ADO.net. You know something; ADO.net (with the help of Visual Studio Env.) made my life much easier.

I now know the reason. I was a classic asp programmer. I was a vb6 programmer. And I was trying to follow my old habits. Now that I've been away for a while, I can easily adopt to new things.

It's been a week that I'm making an application for a developer. What they have asked is pretty simple database. Actually what they have asked was just a form to remind which unit owner have paid their installments and which ones didn't.

They insisted that it's just a one form to remind which installment should be paid by now. So I know exactly what's going to happen. The questions which may rise tomorrow will be

1. This installment is for which unit?
2. Who is the owner of this unit?
3. I want to contact the client to remind him to pay

So it had to be a complete (simple) database. Otherwise tomorrow, as a developer, I will be in trouble. And you know these people. If something goes wrong, they question everything.

I'm applying my own design. I hate those ready made templates. But for the first time in my life, I'm doing hardcore CSS coding.
I must say, It's fun!!!!!!!!

Starting all over again.

Cheers
