Welcome to Beta Sector reformatted
This is the website of Sunil Beta Baskar (also Samuel Sunil Beta Baskar David), a Software Developer, Kernel hacker and Product Engineer from India. I am (un)like several hundreds of thousands of Software Developers from India.
You just found yourself in my homepage. This is a rehash of my 2004 CE. layout of this website reformatted 5 years later. It's quite nice to have a website maintained for 5 full years. My friends tend to mistake me for a geek, a nerd, a Trekkie. I am primarily a codemonkey. For those who are doubtful, I belong to the species Homo Sapiens Sapiens more commonly referred to as human.
I enjoy spending my waking hours on computers and love the aroma of coffee. To find your way aroud this website, please click on the Menu on top or the Links at the left or just use the Search bar. You could also use my Site map. This website was last updated on 17-Dec-2009.
Beta !?
Strange as it may seem, I am named Sunil Beta Baskar and it is no assumed name. My Grand-dad was named Bheta James (pronounced Beta James) and I inherit the name from him. Considering I write lots of software which are endless "Beta" It doubles as a nick. If you're writing an e-mail to me, you may address me as Beta or Sunil on your preference. It is pronounced as the Greek alphabet β. Until 25-Jan-2010, this is the Beta version of the site originally scheduled for upload on 25-Dec-2009.
My common e-mail and web aliases are "betasam" which is originally a decade old Hotmail account (before Microsoft bought Hotmail) named betasam@hotmail.com. I check this once in a blue moon. The next scheduled checks for this account are in December 2009, August 2012, July 2015 (I don't use the Farmer's Almanac.) I regularly check betasam@gmail.com on a daily (or sufficiently frequent) basis. If you were trying to feel lucky to find a coherent meaning for the term Beta then you've landed in the wrong place. I don't want to make your stay boring. Just read the following uses of Beta or take a quick jump to Wikipedia.

Beta quadrantIn the television series Star Trek and its spin-offs, Galactic quadrant refers to an area of the Milky Way Galaxy. In the original Star Trek, it referred to an area interchangeable with a sector, but in the spin offs created in the 1990s, a system of four Galactic Quadrants, designated by the Greek letters Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, has been used. |
Beta version"Beta" is a nickname for software which has passed the alpha testing stage of development and has been released to users for software testing before its official release. It is the prototype of the software that is released to the public. Beta testing allows the software to undergo usability testing with users who provide feedback, so that any malfunctions these users find in the software can be reported to the developers and fixed. Beta software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss. |

BETA (Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers) BETA is shown as the major military and exploratory arm of Earth. The organization is headquartered at BETA Mountain/Earth and sustains several bases on and around Earth like the Longshot Research Facility in the Grand Canyon and the BETA space station in Earth orbit. BETA seems to be in command of a huge spacefleet as shown during the attempted invasion of Earth by the Crown. (Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers [1986-89]) |
BETA programming language BETA is a pure object-oriented language originating within the "Scandinavian School" in object-orientation where the first object-oriented language Simula was developed. BETA is a strongly typed language like Simula, Eiffel and C++, with most of the type checking being carried out at compile-time. It is well known that it is not possible to obtain complete type checking at compile-time without sacrificing the expressiveness of the language. BETA aims to achieve an optimum balance between compile-time type checking and run-time type checking. |
Disclaimer: This website does not have any association with five of the above-mentioned Beta terms. I do have a fascination with the Betamax video cassette which I've used as a kid.
