Greetings

Went to Greeting shop to get one for the colleague who leaving the office. Went through some GoodBye cards, Best Wishes cards etc.. There are type of cards which express Best Wishes for Future, some saying Fare Well with Missing U feeling and many such.. When I was going through them, I was in the feeling like when I leave and if some one gives these type of cards, how I will be feeling.. It was very very difficult.. They are so well written that you can get almost all type of cards with the feelings you want to express..
Found some other cards saying "Do well in the coming examinations, All the Best for preparation" etc.. Again went into imagination like what happens if I give to some one or some one gives to me like these type of cards.. Its really different feeling.. Will that really give the motivation to the receiving end? I guess so..
Ok.. I was searching for something which have Best Wishes along with the Fare Well message with Missing U feeling.. Finally found one superb one..
Went to get a gift too.. Oh God, there are so many varieties of gifts. People are really innovative. And what a time pass also.. Once in a while, doing window watching will be really good..

10 Avatars

Kamal Hasan's latest movie "Dasavatara" to get released.. an ultimate actor who do different roles and who try to have variety in his movies and do lot of experiments.
In an awards ceremony recently, when Chiranjeevi was receiving his 7th Nandi award and when he got his PadmaBhushana award, he mentioned that this 7th Nandi award to him have its own importance. In the starting days of Chiru's career, he saw awards ceremony where Kamal was receiving his 14th Nandi Award and Chiru thought that when can he become a great actor like Kamal and when can he reach this 14th Nandi award. So, by receiving this 7th Nandi award, he is on his way and reached half the way that Kamal reached some 15 years ago. Doesn't that show what a great actor Kamal is and what a down to earth mentality of Chiru's. Both are great :)
There are many movies from Kamal which are like benchmarks in the industry.
Saw some function of this Dasavatar where Jackie Chan came and the trailer is really great. Eagerly waiting for this movie to come..

Learning is never ending process..

Learned lot of things in last few days.. After seeing puts blog, remembered about going to swimming and having fun.. But i finally ended up in learning swimming.. I went with my fnd and i thought that i can learn it on own and i went alone next time.. For my surprise im able to swim.. Thats my first experience me floating on water.. It was really amazing and i love that moment and its thrilling too as i learnt alone.. I always used to feel jealous wen i c some1 swimming.. Now i can have fun if i go for falls or river or c area for trip.. When i told this to my parents, they are afraid and took my words that i will go and learn in the swimming batch or will be accompanied by fnd who knows swimming..
One more learning is regarding business.. Mind is doing rounds in business world.. Met some experienced guys and learned things there.. Imp thing for any business is finding out the critical points in it..
Professionalism.. I usually dont bother about things that happen to me.. But im losing the things and not receiving the things or chances that need to be received.. So i will try to balance professionalism with my usual way of being kid as it have the fun in it..
My fnds r poor souls on this earth.. I irritate them a lot.. First i got hurt when 1 said that to me but thats actually right and i learned that point..
Paying bills at correct time.. Internet connection at home got cut last week.. Blogging this thru my mobile..
And another regarding companies scrapping the projects.. Project that im working on got scrapped.. First got angry but after knowing the junk reasons behind it, got cooled.. Learnt that, in life these r usual.. And one more sad point here is my teammate is leaving job here..
And many more moments of fun,joy, pressures and sad things in last 10 days..

Overcame of my fear

Everyone might have fear that when they fall from bike, they will have lot of problems, injuries and all etc etc.. 'm sure that if you fall once, then, you won't have that fear. And also, if you hadn't fallen, then, you missed some sort of enjoyment. At the time of falling, you can see lot of images/scenes going through your mind. So, enjoy having a fall from bike, but, make sure that it is not very serious one and it doesn't hurt you very seriously.

Loading Windows XP

Did anybody observed how many dots will be moving while Windows XP is loading?
>>Update - These dots will be moving saying "Loading" when the XP logo comes on the screen and no text will be there during that time.
I found it as 4. But, I guess there are only 3. By the time, I see the end one and the front one, it is moved by one and that may be the reason I feel it as 4. Illusion?!

Human Chain

Found some mobile number on a bus mentioning to contact that number for part time job and in that, it is also mentioned that the job is not regarding marketing. For my friend's need for part time job, I called that number and that guy told me to meet him at Indiranagar on Sunday 11AM. I guessed that part time job means it should be some documentation or some excel work or something else. I think others also might guess in the same way.
I met that person at Indiranagar. Many people were there, where one person is explaining something to a group of 3 or 4 people. He started explaining me about this. He started saying - what is success, how to achieve it and some Rajinikanth, Sachin examples, how they became great people and blah blah blah.. He told that we need to register for this part time job by paying some 5K and take the teaching kit from him to learn how to get success and recommend friends, relatives or someone to take this. We can recommend this kit as this will be useful for every one to improve themselves and they will join also as this is helpful for them. If the person we recommended joins and takes the kit, we will get some money around Rs.900/-. If any person they recommends joins, we will get some money. This way we can earn more money. He said many things drawing some quadrants and all junk and blah blah..
He himself is not settled in his life and he himself not achieved anything in his life and he is suggesting/advising others to achieve it. He is just bluffing others.
Sad point here is many innocent people gets trapped in this. Many like those who are studying and try to do money in part time, those who come in search of job, many middle class people who doesn't have money more than needed for their daily needs and many such. Here people are trying to achieve success with out any work.
I thought of this a lot. People are really so selfish that they can bluff others. Why can't they use this intelligence in doing good things? If they follow the same procedure of doing Human Chain to do good things, many people will get the needy things.
Note: This blog written very long ago but thinking about the matureness of my ideas regarding this and waiting for right time to post this.

Netware Vs(And) Linux

'm a Novell guy. From the title of this post and 'm being a Novell guy, you might have guessed that I enjoyed both the flavors. In this post, I will just try to put some ideas/points that I know about them.
For people new to Netware, here is brief description on it.
Netware - its full name is Novell Netware. It is:
- Non preemptive
- Can be loaded on a very low end machine
- Callback functions that need to be executed will be added to Worker Threads which are maintained by OS
- Processor will be allocated to worker threads to execute the work
Guyz, please correct if any mistakes.
And regarding linux, every one knows. It is preemptive and uses LRU to allocate processor to jobs.
Now, we need to decide when a particular OS can be selected.
As Netware is non preemptive, processor will be executing your work until you block yourself for some input or network packets or yield yourself to release the processor. So, it will be the best to use for servers as the processor will be executing your work and you can yield whenever you want. Also, because of this, we can overcome the unnecessary overhead of waiting to acquire semaphores to enter critical sections. As the Netware can be loaded on very low end machines, even, a low end machine can work as servers where as in the other OS case, you can't think of even loading it.
For general purpose computers, linux will be the best as the response of the programs will be good. And, for servers, if high end machines can be used which is the usual case, linux works great than Netware. If your machine is multi processor and core ones, we need to acquire semaphores to enter critical sections even in Netware. So, once you move to high end machines with multi processor and core ones, Linux should do better than Netware.
Netware can be used as clusters on low end machines as servers, so that, this cluster can be used in fault tolerance, load balancing etc. So, this can be used in distributed systems where the things are duplicated, fault tolerance is needed. So, can be used in distributed file systems like GFS.
Please correct if any mistakes.
What the other design related points in selecting OS?
