I brought the new iPhone 3G the same day I came back from India as the 1st generation iPhone was handed over to my sister during the India visit.

After installing few new iPhone applications from AppStore; I noticed the phone seems to crash on and off and sometimes the response to keystrokes literally used to take ~10s also. And not to say; some times I can’t even end the call that easily.

Finally I called the iPhone support, and after explaining everything the customer representative told me that the 2.1 software addresses all the issues (which actually released on the same day). So, after updating with 2.1 (one need iTunes 8 inorder to work with 2.1 updated iPhone); everything seems to be positive and works like a charm.

At least I don’t see any issues that I had in the last week; and good thing is; 2.1 also looks like fixed the batter drain issue; lets see how long the batter will stay from now onwards.

Today is my last day @Yahoo!. It is my first ever short stay in any company that I worked so far, but I do not regret for leaving.

I decided to leave two months back but as I had a vacation in the middle (India trip), I have to postpone till am back. During my stay at Yahoo! I learned enough from rest of the MySQL geeks but I miss the whole geek community, which I doubt any company will have such a great MySQL folks.

Personally what I learned from Yahoo! is that, I needed to be in a company and/or team; where the management knows what the engineers actually do and capable of delivering rather than what was presented by managers itself from down the layers.

Anyway, I have multiple offers to continue as DB internals developer along with DB architect positions; but I will evaluate carefully in the next few days before I make up my mind as opposed to what I did in my last job search.
