Electrical Switches and the power of Defaults 2008-08-12 01:59:31 Ever noticed a peculiar property of an electrical switch! It is always made like this: Always when you click ON, the circuit gets completed and the electricity flows. Imagine if it was the other way round i.e. when you put the switch to off position, it inserts an insulator in the circuit and the circuit breaks. In that case, if a switch gets old, imagine switching off and then also the fan keeps Read more:Defaults

Permission Marketing 2008-08-09 03:48:02 What me, a technical person, doing writing about Marketing
. I am doing it because it is relevant to engineers too, and anyways most of the managers are slow to understand the new rules of marketing. They are all busy with the older methods of marketing which involve stopping a potential customer and bombarding him with interventions only when he is least interested in them. For instance, I don't c Read more:Permission
Placements – What does a Company Expect From You? 2008-08-06 01:26:31 There have been many debates on "how to hire the best candidate for your company" over the past few decades. Also, there has been a proliferation of guides and books telling you how to ace an interview. But in my limited experience as a job hunter and some of my friends' experiences, the one thing I can tell for sure is: "there are no tried and tested methods". When I told a close friend that I am Read more:Expect
No title 2008-07-30 22:54:01 Time - it is a beautiful thing,One that passes away but never comes back.When it spreads its wings,And flies away, it leaves only memories in your sack. Memories – they are, both good and bad,Some are sweet, while a few others are sour,Some make you laugh, while some make you sad,Some excite and the rest are bores. But all these times, you wish you had,The power to go back and relive old timesH
Bibliographic Reference Parsing 2008-07-30 14:19:16 Every research is done on the basis of some other previous research, and our scientists are scrupulous enough to acknowledge others work. So, every research paper contains some reference section, which refers to the previous work. But unfortunately, it is not computer-readable, since not every reference section is in the same format as others. There are many conventions as to how to cite other peo
Revitalising the blog 2008-07-28 08:27:58 As has been the case with this blog, I have scribbled in it, forgotten it and again came back to it, again turned my head away from it. So, this is one more time, when the same thing is happening. But I do not plan to ignore the blog again this time around.I am free to do pretty much anything in my last year at college and would like to make full use of the freedom. So, this blog will concentrate
Google Summer of Code Proposal 2007-12-15 11:45:11 Introduction:We set up an ad-hoc network in which we provide IP Addresses to the various nodes using zeroconf. Zeroconf is used to provide network addresses for the various nodes, without the need of a DHCP Server. I am planning to use Avahi service for implementation of Zeroconf. The numeric addresses are already chosen randomly by the IPV4 and IPV 6.The coding will be done using C and C++. The p Read more:Google

Why Should You Stay Away From Vista? 2007-12-15 11:43:48 Let us start with a small fairy tale. Once upon a time, (alhough not a very long time ago) I had a dual-boot system with Windows Vista
and Ubuntu installed side-by-side. I was happy with my Ubuntu but had to resort to using the bulky Vista from time-to-time. Everytime I opened my laptop in class with Vista, my friends like Abhishek used to cry out - "Bad Vista, Bad Vista" while g
A Typical Conversation 2007-12-15 11:43:33 Hi, We all studied programming on blue-screens with 17 year old compiler namely turbo C in our school days. What happens when you meet someone who tells you to change. Here is the sample conversation - Q. Why not to use TC for Programming Ans. Here are the reasons: 1. Less Horsepower: Seriously guys, 16 bit programming is out of the Window. An integer of 16 bits, even when I do some Read more:Conversation

Running MTNL Triband in Fedora Core 6 2007-04-13 22:12:03 MTNL Internet users will be devastated to find that their net is not working in fedora core 6.Well, there is a way to go about fixing it.Actually, Fedora
detects the DNS wrongly as 192.168.1.1. It can be changed to the correct DNS by going to System->Network and then the DNS tab where you enter your primary DNS Server correctly. But there is a script called dns-client in 'sbin' directory which wil Read more:Fedora Core
SOME TIPS FOR FEDORA USERS 2007-04-13 22:11:28 1. Cool Desktop Effects: You can enable desktop effects by going through System->Preferences->Desktop Effects and there enabling desktop effects. Effects include Alt+tab utility, 3d flipping of workspaces, animated minimizing and maximizing and other cool things. The best thing being it doesn't slow down the computer. 2. Easy Explorer: If you are frustrated by the explorer of the Fedora which kee
Ubuntu Operating System-Part 1 2007-04-13 22:11:28 I had initially planned to have a journal of my technical forays along with my views on varied subjects so that people can know me well when they read my blog. But after 2 months with just 6 posts in the blog and with none of them as technical ones I think my blog has not went the way it should have went.So starting today I will be putting up a series of articles related to Ubuntu

Brazil LOST!!!!!! 2006-07-02 23:09:54 I just could not believe that Brazil
could lose a match. They were infallible. But in the end it was Zidane and Henry who made sure France did the biggest upset by defeating Brazil and making an all European Semi-finals. This must not have happened in years.But the France deserved the win. After scoring a goal and going 1 up in the match their never lost their advantage. They did not all go and s
Brazil- A Great Footballing Nation 2006-06-28 22:52:10 Just imagine Brazil
- A country which has won all 4 matches till now and conceded just 1 goal . If we just consider the fact that Brazilians have no great defense this is an amazing feat in itself. A country whose top striker is so obese that he is offside almost all the time and still manages to score 3 goals in 4 matches and goes on to become the highest goal scorer ever in world cup history.Cr Read more:Great

Why I Love Cartoons 2008-09-28 10:54:27 Cartoons are a very simple way to portray human emotions in a loud and a fun manner. I mean, look at any cartoon, their smile is always bigger, when they cry buckets of water flow out, their voice often betrays their fear and emotions and they are so damn funny. A human can never act it like a cartoon, cartoons live in wonderous worlds, do impossible stunts while never getting hurt, don't need any Read more:Cartoons

School Assemblies 2008-09-20 14:09:25 I was thinking on what to write for today’s blog post and then I thought, why not, write about my school time. I used to study in Happy Model School
in JanakPuri ( I wanted to provide a link here, but my school still does not have a website! ). During school time, we used to have daily morning assembly which had the following schedule: 1. We made straight lines according to our classes
Why I did not blog? Bad Bad me! 2008-09-09 16:05:20 First of all in spite of doing all promises to myself to blog continually, I have not blogged from 20th August. That's nearly 20 days without a post! Bad Bad me!Explanation 1: There was no-one to motivate me. My principle motivator/competitor was doing payback time ;) for all the sins committed during summers. Just kidding. I just hope you are able to catch up with your acads and still get time to
Fountainhead – A critique 2008-10-12 12:01:30 I thought, I will don the hat of a critic and criticize the Fountainhead book. Note that if you have not read the book you might not understand some parts of this post, you can skip them as they are totally unnecessary. You might as well move to the last paragraph of the post, which is important, if you are going to read the book. So, coming back, if I have to describe the book in one word –
