29 septiembre It WAs a Hell of A daY! It seemed like an usual Monday.. trouble waking early, wearing th damn
full hand shirt and th tie( company Dumb rules dude ;) ) seemed like a
real pain in th ass... .n th morning traffic was still annoying.. finaly reached office n was having quite a happy time.. thats when ma frnd asked ma help to get her outlook pst files transferred. Ah let me set th context.. she is a poor indian software engineer who s gona travel onsite! wit out a laptop coz she s @ th fag end of the queue waiting for a laptop! hence she needed ma ipod to get th outlook pst out of her box which she s gona bid adieu... i met her, @ her cabin.. thn pluggin th ipod IN, she tried transfering things.. suddenly two things happend.. one virus Alert! i didnt see that so i wasnt aware which file was infected.. i started to doubt whthr ma midnyt surfing die hard habbits had contributed in geting ma system infected :P ;) in the mean time her system went weird.. n we had to restart th system twice.. having got the system to stable state.. she tried copying only the pst file which was bulky around 4.5 gb in to ma ipod ( 160gb / 15gb free!) .. it refused to copy saying " disk is out of space, plz insert new" i dont remember th exact phrase! she tried chucking ma ipod away n tried to copy th pst file in to her pen drive ( 8gb / only 1mb occupied)... both were puzzled! it spit th same error on us! infact i was stupified whetr i had spoilt her last day @ office mood! ! ! ! we both tried our best for another couple of mins.. n it was time for her to leav in th last bus home, so tat she can carry imp things onsite IF NOT th damn pst ;) .. coz next day ( tom!! ;) ) is her flyt @ 4am!!!!! having she left, now it was jus me n th dumb system of hers!!! i tried copy pasting; n always it said.. target space wasnt enough!! i couldn get anything into ma mind.. mostly coz i was pizzed tat i couldn get it done perfect! as i always wish and i get things done! second, i was constructing a damn tree, to figure out wat all dvds which i burnt recently could be virus infected if the ipod s realy infected!! thn had a wild idea of asking the RAR in her system to do a "Store" compression from her secondary storage to my ipod.. it went packing things perfectly till some where less than 4gb! and then it bled infront of ma eyes saying.. it cant do further.. i actualy dont remember wat was its actual msg.. bt watever it was.. gav me an idea tat.. th the FAT file systm of ipod or the pen drive is th culprit.. i split the pst file in to parts of 2gb! and i got em transfered to the ipod.... damn! by the time i got this done. . she almost reached her home!!! Mannn i will never ever forget this fr ma lyf! i didnt bother about the max file size allowed in the FAT32 system, when ma faculty was teaching! bt today i learnt HARD! ;) hmm well i think its part of the course "Operating system" we learnt about file systems... n am not sure.. how am gona get this 4gb pst to her hands! ;) shall i burn this n go till th airport to giv this 2 her, by tom early in th mrning! ;) or shall i courier her! hmmmm if it had been ma gal frnds pst file,..u know he he :D wat i might hav done!!! :P wel its jus ma close frnds.. so i think i can courier her :P ;) n btw.. did i tell another imp thing.. ma company doesnt arrange any accomodation to folks who travel onsite.. tom all she knows s th airport whr she is gona land. .she s gona hav a hell of day over thr, from th moment she lands! to get a damn accomodation! ;) lets wish her luck ;) hope she finds a cool place to stay :) 24 septiembre blog rated!!! yeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ;) i jus submitted ma blog for review after i read a blog whr the author was happy abt being rated as 6.8/10.. i jus wana giv it a shot.. n try how i get rated based on some ones opinion.. i was literaly surprised.. it was rated 7.8/10 :D he eh eh eh ;) Danke!!!!!!! ;) http://www.blogged.com/blogs/iowints-space.html n not jus that, i happened to some how get to watch this video http://www.microsoft.com/emea/spotlight/sessionh.aspx?videoid=865 Its about data mining, its a full day lecture.. th guy delivering the session seems to be quite witty! i jus watched a lil, coz am already lil held up with things.. if u luv data mining.. u got to chck out tat! ;) 17 septiembre Again i was lucky :DWhile using Chrome.. BEWARE! ;) the Live space editor becomes dumb when u use it in CHROME!
blog entry looked so jammed, when i did an EDIT in Chrome, i got as i had properly formatted while blogging.. bt in the view it was shit cluttered.. the same was in the IE, bt it looked same even while EDITING!
i would have been happy, if i had atleast got to see the cluttered data while editing in chrome :P he he
Editing text works perfect in Firefox, bt in Firefox u get the problem while signing in, using ur live id! wel the IE 8.0 beta 2 created problems for geting the snapshots uploaded, with its crazy Active X.. so i had to shunt here n there.. even to blog this issue i had to do tat :( :P ;) now am using BR tags.. to avoid roundtrips lemme see if it works ;) in simple words.. having most top browsers.. am shunting between all of em. to get ma taks done! wat a shame (wit em!) :P ;) (*I have Opera 9.5 installed, havnt got time to do the same experiment in it ;) ) Policts n Dumb rules infact does prove to be advantageousi gues, its a movie dialogue " Politics creates opportunities.. " in fact even DUMB rules, sharpens ur brain / cunningness/ though process to BEND them ;) today wasnt a gr8 day.. . today i received a sweet letter from Microsoft Canada.. was too excited to open it.. Damn.. aftr opening ma heart jus shattered.. its th usual thing " aftr carefuly analyzing u.. we feeel u r so so so gr8 tat u dont fit for th job u applied.. n we will defntly search u or hunt u down when a job opening matches ur gr8 criteria" ... wel.. geting upset wouldnt do much.. n with in hours.. the Job agent sent another opening which matches ma profile.!! well diverted ma mind in finding more abt it.. ;) Not jus tat was todays happenings.. one more thing happend today! it was quite un expected.. My Project manager rushed to ma desk.. n asked me.. DO u use Gtalk?! n wel.. i dont lie, n i said YES! n he asked me to use no more!! its some corporate bullshit rule, employees not allowed to use GTALK!.. my obvious (100% perfect heuristics baby ;) ) guess tat THE TOP GUN of ma workplace, who might have walked past me should have seen me chating!! ;) n things in corporate world.. come wit so much corporate Bull shit.. it comes to u passing thro level by level, and finaly delivered to u by the immediate predator above u in the Food chain! ;) having gone thro tat bitter pill i thought to code a msnger using .net for chating wit ma frnds ;) but then most are in gtalk, i got to code a messenger which communicates with gtalk services. after few minutes of searches i bumped in to the gtalks website which threw some light on how to include gtalk gadget in to your web sites, allowing users to chat with u.. online.. it was damn cool, its perfectly web based!! Bingooo.. few bulbs glew in ma brain!! ;) jus thought why not create my own web page with gtalk embedded in it.. infact i even inspected few .net libraries, which allowed u to communicate with gtalk services.. wel they were damn cryptic n had quite a lot bugs in em.. n wel i dint wana compromise my gtalk credentials by using them. coz u know hacking ones primary email id could be devastating.... thn i even found that the gtalk gadget allowed me to change the styles using CSS, whose path is sent using query string... well i tried a lot.. n in vain.. the issue was, the dumb google logic expects an XML to be placed in the root of the hosting server.. well.. i am behind firewalls google servers cant access them if i get to place it in my IIS... n well i used some free web hosting service to create an account to place my CSS and XML on the root of the directory provided to me! bt all in vain :( it dint work either!! :( In the beginning I tried to place my CSS in the visual studio project, when you use web matrix to run your application you will experience problem. Coz, the path of the CSS in ur project will http://localhost:port/project/XYZ.css and when you send this as query string.. Google server will try to interpret that the CSS is present in it! thats th catch while using LOCALHOST! and whenever there is a problem while accessing the CSS you had specified, the dumb google logic prevents even working of the normal flow! so i had to be satisfied , with the custom look. i jus had the damn control on how n where this gtalk gadget got displayed in my web page ;) finaly just got to chat by browsing the page with internal browser, to add some extra Coding effect :D . ppl think am CODING in visual studio :D he he he aha ha ha ha .. dont u get me wrong, i love programming! INFACT i CODE N CHAT now ;) Thanks for the Top guns influence in letting me think :P ;) he he 15 septiembre Am i getting the Math Wrong?!The latest feature of smart address bar in Chrome! jus made me think for a second!
for every letter i type in it, it queries thro my Bookmarks, History and also does a search on the world wide web.
that means, it does an Async hit to the Google search Engine.. which in turn counts for REAL searches done!
so if i type a URL of N letters, i account to Firing "N" searches on Google search engine! And in turn i let the Engine not jst clock more search hits, but also i help it strengthen its data base in a way!
daMN!!!! hmmm some body write a damn aDdin for IE 8.0.. els we might miss our piece of pie!! ;) 11 septiembre First Error Page with Google Search!!!!!! aftr Years of Goooogling!Was damn happy to see this page ;) infact it was th first time i got to see this damn error page of Google.com aftr a decade of gooooooooogling ;)
infact i even hav a snapshot of a google search page result with JUST one search result.. heard google had promised a million dollar for such a single result query page scenarios.. bt thn.. i havnt informed google :P jus hav it wit me ;) 08 septiembre Open in new tab missing!!!!It was realy realy hard for me to belive n even much harder to make ma frnds believ that the version of the IE8.0 beta that i had installed on ma system didnt hav the one n only vivid feature of IE 8.0 thats the "open in new tab" option!! not jus that, tho th IE's options hav been particularly specified to open new links in new tabs! things kept opening in new Window!! n tat made ma Taskbar Luk realy realy nasty! :( and on top of all these, i found the tabs geting recovered on a regular basis.. :( Tool bar buttons, say "Tools and Safety R toooo shy to even openup! " still trying ma luck wit IE 8.0 ;) 02 septiembre Weird Kingfisher booking menui just wanted to chck with the Kingfisher booking.. bt then to my surprise i was as usual lucky ;) i had selected start date as 24 oct 2008 and when i had selected return date month as Nov, to ma utter surprise i found 1 - 23 in the date box disabled! idealy if i had changed th month this should have got enabled! the same was the behavior in Firefox 3 and IE 8. i did send the feedback 2 th site, bt then later i tried again.. this time day 1 was disabled for any combination! realy realy weird!! |
