IT people & poor gifting

I'm noticing a steep decline in gifting (on special occasions like wedding) interest among IT people. IT people are very much interested in celebrations, but not interested to spend money on gifts for their colleagues. I think, it must be due to poor (more specifically fake) relationships among peers or short-lived relationships because of job hopping. Abuthakir told me that it's due the attitude that "Why should I spend money for him?".

For the sake of record... in my father's era, it was common to gift gold items, even though their earnings were not close to what the least earning person in IT draws now. But, these days, IT people's average spend on colleagues' special occasions is Rs.100/- (which is too less and not even close to my father era)

I have noticed that many people in some commitments, so that they are thinking many times for spend this kind of occasions and others.

I hope its not an attitude issue, its a commitment issues.

I have seen many people run the month in budget basis, if unexpectedly expenses happened then they would suffer lot to manage. so that many people thinking.

I guess :)

Working with Jeremy Zawodny, Alan Knowles, Cal Henderson

My life and career are full of surprise... I wanted to work in film direction Wanted to work in AT&T Bell Labs with Dr. Dennis M. Ritchie (creator of C) Wanted to work in Borland with the great developers of Delphi But, none of these dreams came true. And, after 6 years of my career into Web Application Development, I informed the company about my humble desire to work with the great minds I came to know through internet--to see if the company can offer employment for them: Jeremy Zawodny , Alan Knowles , Cal Henderson . Peter (who is actually from UK), who approached them updated me that Jeremy cannot join the company due to his marriage and Alan feels that the company may not offer the international salary. And, my dreams are just dreams! If anyone wants to work with me, ping me through LinkedIn

Interview question #2

This is related to PHP's array . An array has number of elements. All elements are integers and unique, which means there is no repetitive integers. (e.g.) $foo = array(7, 5, 9, 13, 2, 8); You have to sort the array, provided: You should scan the elements only once. You're not allowed to compare the elements when sorting. (i.e., you're not supposed to use any comparison operators) Sorted resultant array may not be the source array. How will you do that?
