Welcome to the Metrix!

Welcome to the Metrix!! {ermm.... Operational "Metrics" Reporting}



Let me introduce myself.
I am AdyaMan.

{thunder in the background}

Clouded in mystery and suspense......

What is the Metrix?

The Metrix is a world built on clients' aspirations: who they think they are, what they think they are doing and what they want to be.

The Metrix is a world mutually created by us IT people, who strengthen the bond between the clients. It is where they live. It’s their world! They talk to each other, support each other, see what the others buy, hear others’ opinions and identify with or differentiate themselves from others.

The Metrix cannot stand alone, though. It won’t create anything. Stand-alone systems simply do not have aspirations or a sense of attachment to anything. Today onwards the challenge to you as a member of the Metrix IT team is how to develop "The Metrix version 2" for your customers — a world whose centre is your brand and which is inhabited by your customers.


We must do what we must do.


Hmm.... well, the kind of language I have used in that epistle is familiar to me... I too feel at times that I am in some kind of a "Matrix" or the other... maybe or probably LIKELY it is now by the name of "Operational Metrics Reporting" a.k.a. "O.M.R. a.k.a. "Oye Maar" !!!

Now your question abt the character I associate myself most with ....?

Hmmmm,, well my fav is Neo - 'cuz he "gets the girl" - naturally!!! But donno in terms of looks or whatever else (I wish that I was even half as good looking as Neo but anyway....! :-) .. perhaps I would be more like Morpheus (looks-wise) .. or perhaps "Mouse the Hacker" (in terms of the sort of things I do with the PC - I am a bit of a "hack" when I get going!!!) ... or even perhaps a bit of everything a-la "Mr. Smith".

So let me get back to wallow in my own misery by Matrixing/Metricsing .... or whatever you wanna call it!!

So long,
AdyaMan

A brief history of AdyaMan

[start]
Greetings Earthling.... I come in peace....

I'm basically(other variants - PERLically, C++ically etc.) from Belgaum, Karnataka in India. Most of my childhood and education was spent in Belgaum. I had flashes of inspiration now and then and as a result of one of these flashes , decided to do my Bachelors in Engineering... I would like to say I worked hard on it to get into a good college .. but ... fact is i didnt :-) ..

Engineering was mostly one big blur which stretched for four years .. four years of unshackled fun and games (the computer variety) with intermittent studying binges. I did manage to learn something .. .and it was mostly because I ignored what was being taught in the class and what had to be read for the exams :).

And then there was WORK .... @ Rangsons, Mysore where I worked for almost a year. This was the time I really enjoyed professionally and technically, learnt a great deal of techie stuff and got hooked on to networking (again the computer variety) . I also seem to have started enjoying teaching there, never knew I had it in me !!.

TCS (The Chennakeshav Story) began in Jan 2004, when I came down(or up?) to Pune all the way from Mysore. My first real interaction began with the picnic to Mulshi dam(n) and ever since the Pune TCS junta has had to bear my long mails. There were times when I even had to bribe some of them to read my mails. Whew! so much so for my writ(h)ing.

Am currently with the Operationl Metrics Reporting a.k.a. O.M.R. a.k.a. Oye Maar project primarily into datawarehousing and working on Microsoft Analysis Services, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, Informatica, Visual Basic, C#, Unix , PERL and umm.... lets see MS-Word, MS-Excel, MS-Outlook, notepad(err.... looks like I have to stop here) .... I've always savored the challenges here and it was a very very important phase in my life .... Met a horde of people and got to learn of lot of good, new, interesting, amazing things (ahem .... not necessarily in that order ;-))
< /rave>

Well whaddya know ... .My life's story in less than a thousand words. There you have it.

[edit]
you must be a sucker for punishment to have read till here and still wanting more ... :)
< /edit>

I read incessantly , usually non academic stuff, except for things like data warehousing algorithms which i really like :-). I mostly read humour and travelogues these days, the libraries have an amazing collection of books which keeps me busy and when I am not reading.... I am surgically attached to my iPod.... else, I usually am playing games( right now NFS SE-II and Recoil .... and at times with people ;-) ..

Now u know me.

Albeit for the time being, the universe is nagging me to work, so i better get right on that.

Cheers!
AdyaMan
