Defensive Driving

I attended this "Defensive Driving" course the other day as part of my HSE courses. People not familiar to Oil Industry, HSE stands for Health, Safety and Environment. HSE awareness and implementation is very crucial in this industry because of the Nature of work and dangers involved like poisonous gases are also produced during Oil Production. There many more hazards and Accidents can lead to massive losses, as we are all aware Thanks to BP! The Texas accident and now the one in Gulf of Mexico!
It was my first HSE course and it was effective, as I wear my seat belt irrespective of distance, speed, time of the day etc. And I also bought a Baby Car seat for my daughter. Although she is not willing to sit in it, because she is used to the freedom outside it. So its become a challenge to get her into that baby seat. her mom has already given up. I guess, will have to send the mom n daughter to an Defensive Driving course. To get some motivation. I m liking being part of Oil Business now.

Neways I have another HSE Training tomorrow called SOC- Safety Observation Conversation, where they teach you how you need to communicate and have a conversation when you see anyone working in an Unsafe manner and enviorment... So be prepared next time you see me. Dont do Anything Unsafe.

Always Remember: "SAFETY FIRST"

IIS Again!

IIS stands for Internet information Server for Non-Techncal people it is used to host web applications on Windows server. I have been using and working on IIS hosting web applications or when I used to deploy sharepoint infrastructures across enterprises. But for the last two years I was working on web applications but had access to only a shared folder on the web server where i was supposed to dump my developed web application. The administration was being done by another team owning the web server. SO i was missing IIS!!!

Now we have our own Web server and I have been assigned the task to install/configure/maintain it. I like it. I am enjoying it more, because we now have IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008 R2 using Oracle Client 11G. New server, new capabilities... Enjoying doing it!!! Have to advice how to upgrade the existing web applications to get to run on this. The Trial and error, Troubleshooting, Investigation. I am loving it. Doing what I used to always do in the past.

Have to look at performance aspects, how to get the best performance from the Web server! Enjoying It!!!

Quit FaceBook

I deactivated my facebook account. Was not using it too much and was more of a distraction/addiction. I had my friend requests which I was not sure about. I was not sure of the setting the Privacy. I had some friends, who have made everything private, so you dont know whats up with them. But then it beats the purpose itself of a Social Network. Sharing etc...

So dont for now I have deactivated it and will try not to go back to it. The time is money, need to invest on better things. Have not done reading since long. Need to keep myself updated on a lot of things firstly, Emaan refreshing articles, Positivity and Professional articles, Technology.

Technology changes sooo fast.... really have to keep in touch to avoid getting outdated. So lets use the time for better things than Social Networking!
