3 years @ Yahoo!
My first FreeBSD 4 desktop, the bulky HP laptop, the lively ambiance of the Esquire Center office in M.G Road, the noisy cafeteria, tasty food, the numerous purple goodies and my favourite - Hack Days!
Started working on the Behavioral Targeting platform with the Data Mining & Research team; got a chance to work with some amazing people who were not only gurus in Math and Stats but also machine learning, text mining and lot of other subjects.
A sequence of events lead me into one of the coolest groups in Yahoo! - Yahoo! Labs
It was a whole new world of exposure into the toughest of computer science problems and it's entanglement with Math, all solved using some really interesting algorithms, was a great experience.
After deciding to take a deeper plunge into the engineering side of things, I went on to work the Sponsored Search engineering team and that is where I am today!

6 years and clicking
My Canon S2 IS is now 6 years old and it still works! Off-late, it started complaining of a 'Error 18' every time I switched it on. I looked up on the internet and tried out some of the tricks mentioned in various blogs, but, all in vain. For a few weeks I just gave up trying anything else. Today I re-charged my 2700mAh batteries and switched on the camera and refused to work. I came across CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit) and installed it on my SD card and started my camera with it and now there seems to be no 'Error 18' any more! Long live my S2 IS!
If any one is aware of a complete firmware upgrade for S2 IS, do let me know.
PS: Yes, it feels a bit weird coming back all of a sudden from no where and making a blog post :-p

Changing lanes
My profile page in the Yahoo! Labs website :) which will soon be gone given that I've moved on to a different group which works on Yahoo! sponsored search. It has been a couple of weeks into the new team and has been a lot of learning, reading, trying-out-stuff kind of activities. I'm looking forward to continue doing some cool stuff. I'll miss working with Rushi, Narayan and Shiva.
