Why are you asking me to pay in advance … I had prebooked this 2 months back … i believe on the first day itself … now you are saying even after paying in advance i get the tablet in March !!!

YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEND IT IF YOU WANT TO

YOURS IS NOT THE ONLY TABLET AVAILABLE FYI

——————————————————————————–

P.S. This wouldn’t have happened if they had done some capacity planning. They were planning to supply to all schools and colleges with the number of tablets that sold out in the first month ? Don’t you think this is just another way to create hype and “demand” in the market. Cannot believe the government does business they way they do it in the grey market.

Continuous Delivery : A Mini Hurdle

The first hurdle to overcome with Continuous Delivery I think is not getting your product’s code onto the machine itself, but managing the actual machine and it’s software… and in talking to people. It is the subtle nuances between machines due to people tweaking things on the fly that lead to the worst [most annoying] bugs to troubleshoot.
The end-goal of managing your machines is that no one ever logs into the machine directly.
