I have been working on other people’s bugs for the last couple of weeks and it has been a terribly painful experience. This has been a great experience which has taught me a lot of corrective measures for the roadmap ahead for me. Some basic observations are Not everyone can program or should program - Conceptually it is really easy to type in read a tutorial or 2. But what i saw is pure torture for a guy like me , you need some talent to write a decent application....
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.IO; using System.Net; using System.Web; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; Uri address = new Uri(“http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json”); // Create the web request HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(address) as HttpWebRequest; request.Method = “POST”; request.ContentType = “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”; request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(“username”, “password”); StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder(); data.Append(“status=from%20.net”); // Create a byte array of the data we want to send byte[] byteData = UTF8Encoding....

Always believe things after i can validate certain things personally, that invariably leads to me getting too involved (call it the observer effect). But then again there are certain things that are much bigger than me which i believe are absolute frauds, i will state some of the most obvious ones. Humans landing on the moon (yeah right, NASA is struggling now … wonder why they need to design what already works) NGOs are for the greater good (from what i hear they are only for their own good, time we stopped using the tax payers money for them) Net neutrality (impossible, DNS servers still in the USA … the point is lost on me as to how is it fair, internet as we know is still very much controlled by americans) United Nations / World Bank are global organizations (now that is just BS, if we see the UN with its veto powers …....
