stock market tutorial

I have gone through tutorials for how to enter into stock market. I need to start from zero. Everything is new ... But it gives opportunities for us to learn unknown area about money or market or financial system. We can play with money wisely as well as it increases our analyzing ability.

FEELING ALONE

This is quite difficult for me to stay alone in a single room in chennai. Things are not going as I expected...... disappointment. No activities I have now. Mtech studies are also canceled....

Money Making

Enjoy online money making.....

But its very hard as well as tricky....

Shaastra 3rd day ( my second entry to shaastra)

This day some more encouraging because I could see open house ( means - all departments exhibit their labs and explain courses, tools they are using)

Labs :
Mechanical lab:
This was a good experience for me to mechanics. They have explained the power steering mechanism, testing of a braking system ... etc
Electrical Engineering :
They are some more active in IIT. I could see some good projects as well as posters of different technology like semiconductor, optics ..etc.

Projects:
1. Image processing , QPSK,noise addition, transmission and receiving
2. Sensing the pressure of a diaphragm (which is pulsating) inside a bucket of water,reading the data for plotting graph ,measuring diameter variation
3. Optics
4. Semiconductor technology explanation

companies sponsoring to them : benchmark Tenet

Computer Science:

I have seen
1. FPGA lab( Altera board, VHDL program burning, quartus( forgot name) software )
2. Robot show ( laptop controlled wheel chair)
3. one SRM student explained me one telos board
Actually the board was connected to USB of Linux Os CPU. Using 'make' command he burnt the program to the board. The program is to read temperature and humidity of the room. Interesting stuff is, the board was connected to similar four boards at different places by wireless. They were also reading temp and humidity. He set an apache and mysql to display the current and last 10 set of informations.

IBM person talk
cell processor, ibm semiconductor areas...etc

WANT 2 FLY AUTOMATED
This was a project demo of IITM students. The project designed by different (electronics and aerospace) department students in IIT. Their coordination,programming and mechanical skill is really amazing....

Shaastra 2008 (Second ENTRY to IITM)

IITM Shaastra 2008 was a good as well as bad experience to me. With out knowing the schedule ( was aware of FOSS conference ) and location of programs at 1 o clock , I entered in the IITM. But the programs were going on 2.5 km inside from IIT entrance gate. Walked through out the way, that had given chance to enjoy the beauty of IITM campus (even temples are there inside) .

Shaastra's beauty
Big big companies are sponsoring to this tech festival. L&T infotech,google,HSBC, GREDGE....etc. When I reached Elephant circle ( Gajendra circle), had seen big,big malls – one for Indian army, another for winergy ( wind to electric energy conversion) .
Talks, puzzles, conferences, workshops ( haven't seen ) all very standard programs.......

Shaastra's Bugs,
But I haven't seen the electronics, electrical,computer science or civil engineering IITM students projects or experiments exhibited in the ground. No project exhibition like mini projects or final year projects are less ( may because of first day ) or not there . Hardly you can see those stuffs. Then I understood, in that case GECT ECE's 'Quintessence ' or 'Insignia' (CS program) are giving more importance to exhibition of projects. In this particular thing the contribution of IITians to Shaatra was less. That is really really sad thing.

I think, IITians are more concentrating on entrepreneurship or business type stuffs... that also good . But IIT is famous because of technology, science and BRAIN.... not that much in business. But IIT can develop that too.... good. But only that, is bad.

Events participated.
Meanwhile got a chance to listen one RTI officer talk. That was really inspiring, as well as I wondered these type officers are there in Indian government. After having lunch and tea( very costly, don't know what the time was !!), wandered here and there without knowing what to do. Because, don't know the schedule... what program? which auditorium ? ...CLT,ICSR,DOMS.....etc. I enquired about the program schedule ... But I didn't get ( asked two places. First person direct me to registration people sitting place in IIT ground. Second person didn't care me that much). Really I feel bad.


FOSS Debian

Finally at the end of the day , I got FOSS Debian conference taken by Kapil ( http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/). Don't know more about his background. But he studied mathematics and now addicted in debian as well as in FOSS. He explained about patch and diff. I didn't get more( thats my problem).But he had started a Ubuntu vs Debian fight...funny moments.
The words that strike while listening.

And last when I looked into my watch, the time was 7.30pm. I knew that, “ I will miss the workshop on 'hacknight' in late night( 10.30pm to 'overnight' - no end time -) ' . No other way , have to return.

Electric Field And Electro static potential

Electric field is a vector quantity.It will determine how much amount of force getting for a unit charge due a Q amount of charge in space. And it is a vector quantity also. We need x,y,z vector components to determine the E vector. But electro static potential is the Potential energy of a charge to bring from infinity to a point in space.

Interesting thing, it is constant for a particular distance surface from the charge. What ever way we reach to that point the Electrostatic potential will be constant.
Electrostatic potential depends only on the radial distance from the charge.So depends only on one quantity

And from ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL we can determine the value of E which is vector (depending 3 components x,y,z)


These calculations and derivation I have studied in Btech days itself.But I didn't get the advantage of these ELETROSTATIC potential.

GCC online documentation

You will get wonder if just see the index page of online documentation of GCC ( GNU C Compiler).
Hardware model and configuration is amazing. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.2/gcc/index.html#toc_G_002b_002b-and-GCC

ascentengineers...

ascentengineers -----> Very interesting to see their work( http://ascentengineers.org/ ) and the way they are generating their business. I believe that they can be succeed in their business with electronics and free software . Because the market for these two are growing very fast in kerala. They found out their first customers as the college students. Giving consultancy to them .... is really a business.

I find that these ascentengineers are very young. And the courage they taking is really amazing.

computer graphics is not as simple as I expected

I have seen video from National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning about COMPUTER GRAPHICS. I confused that whether I was hearing a Mathematics class or computer graphics. Real mathematics is used to map bits from image to CRT( screen).

GATE EC2003 question

Ans :
Number of Mesh = B - N + 1 where B = No of Branches
N = number of Nodes
Node equation = N - 1
where N = number of Nodes

here B = 7 , N = 4

so minium number of equation need to analyze the circuit is = N - 1 = 3

Qu(2):

The Laplace transform of of i(t) is given by
I(s) = 2 / s(1+s)
As t --> infinity, The value of i( t) tends to


Ans:
Inverse of I(s) ,
I(s) = 2/s -2/(1+s)
i(t) = 2 -2(e^-t) because L(1) = 1/s and L(e^-t .1) = 1/(S+1)
As t --> infinity ,
==> i(t) = 2 -2/(e^infinity)
==> i(t) = 2 - 2/infinity
== > i(t) = 2 because 2/infinity is zero

This is the answer I got. I am not sure about 2/infinity . ,,...

i don't know these answers are correct or not .. I didn't get key for GATE these question.

why derivatives ?

To find an approximation of one can do as follows.

1. Consider the function Hence, the problem is reduced to finding the value of f(25).
2. We have

   

3. According to linear approximation

   

4. The result, 2.926, lies fairly close to the actual value 2.924…

Read some interesting and basic mathematics.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_approximation

LOST TOUCH WITH MATHS

Onam days I have tried some Laplace Transform ( which is commonly used in Network realization and ELECTRICAL circuits ) from mathematics text book. Then I realized the fact that even the basic integration methods like integration by parts and other haven't there in my mind. But the basic for mule in Laplace finished in onam days itself. Parallel y hearing online video classes ..... but it is like a drop of water in the sea....... I dont know where I can reach.

I am wasting precious time

Mind become restless if we can't utilize our time effectively. Nowadays I found that that was the major reason for my restlessness. Somewhere I need to concentrate my mind and brain. I am feeling that I am not utilizing the time given to me...

I don't know how to solve this problem..... But I am not ready to fear.

DREAM FIRST ... WORK FOR IT, YOU WILL GET

DREAM FIRST .. WORK FOR IT , YOU WILL GET

I believe these words.


Some of college friends motivating me for a Mtech. Really my mind is restless now.

WARNING

how fast or immediate i am starting study and How fastly and strongly i studies subjects will determine my score in GATE ......



I am feeling that Mtech in IIT( dream) is reachable ambition. But I haven't informed this to father. Most probably he will reject....(that is not a problem )
I informed to my brother....( i got half +ve approval from him).I need to work hard that was his advice.
Here(in chennai) the atmosphere is not favor to study .It is a challenge as well as thrill.
Getting a Btech admission in IIT is much harder than a MTech. Making a decision is very important because GATE is an all India exam. Even if it is simple compared to btech, students from all over india is participating in it.That much competition is there.

( this blog is exclusively to me)

SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO KNOW BEFORE PASSING OUT BTECH

Very strange classes. They analyzed it in a strange manner. I have completed two 'digital signal processing' lecture video and two electromagnetic theory. Before taking text book, this classes will surely help anyone who love to learn things without much effort. I haven't analyzed electronics before.
watch the video ....

http://www.nptel.iitm.ac.in/video.php?courseId=1009&sub=Electrical&sem=Semester%204

MTECH DREAM OBSTACLES

I started to dream Mtech. But the reasons for hesitation are,
First: completely lost the touch with what I have studied in Btech.
Second: whether I can study again ... that doubt
Third: I want more practical and experimenting opportunity than theory ( in electronics and embedded programming)... whether mtech can provide that facility ?
Fourth: After Mtech what I will do,if I didn't get job , ????( After seeing some good teachers, I start to find interest in teaching...this is a positive thing )
Fifth: Money...,,.. currently I am getting some what good salary. What will people (friends and classmates) tell if I don't get a job better than this ??

I am struggling to take a decision.

not getting satisfaction in this life

really I am struggling to move days. Things I expected to come in life, is far away from me.Some kind of disappointment is coming, as well as home sickness. Dreams are far far ...away. Which path will I have to choose?. Now I am crying for the valuable time that I have missed in B Tech.I can't concentrate on things. Nothing I am getting from internet these days.

I would have to form a group in B Tech with friends those who are interested in studies and exploring things. My ambition is to build a electronics or computer related company with college mates. I know that, I have that much talented friends.(including girls) .......But failed to talk to them or co-ordinate them.Now I am not getting chance to apply what I have studied..... I have no control on my life... Life is going one way.. I am going behind that.

Extravagant Ceremony Opens 2008 Olympic Games

Coming days are very interesting . Long back ( before coming to chennai ) in badminton match, I have seen , 15 (more than) unbreakable rally in one service .And beautiful smashes for smashes in TT. We have TT in our office ( really I become TT addict in my college days itself) . Now in chennai, here we have TV, but that is common.. and no time also.... But I will try to watch atleast TT and badminton....


enjoy Olympics 2008

Where is Edit option in Blogspot comments?

Google search for edit option in blogspot comments, gave a link how to insert edit option in comments. But that code need Admin Number, PID number, blog ID number. ... very sorry I don't what are this numbers ?? anybody can help ?

I need to ask these things blogger ( need time )

Experience ubuntu

What is Ubuntu? I am searching new answers. I will say this is more than an operating system... more than a software or man made computer intelligence. This is derived from people who offer humanity or allow or make a way others to grow in the computer science world.

see this

Ubuntu become very much advanced

Today I tried to play video in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Then its asked for some file encoding software. After checked them to installation , amazing it automatically download the data from net and installed in lap. Now i am quite confident to say after 2 years in Kerala you can see more Ubuntu Desktops in Schools and Houses compared to MS.Ubuntu gives you the power and flexibility for business, education and home use.

Ubuntu can change everything

Yesterday I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition. I really wondered on seeing the installation as well as appearence of latest Ubuntu. In that cover of Ubuntu CD ( www.ubuntu.com ), they have described their mission. After one round usimg I realised the tremendous differance between 6th and 8 th version of Ubuntu.You can feel the differance in windows closing ,utilities and in booting ,opening screen. Moreover I understood the strength of ubuntu community ( www.ubuntu.com/community ) . "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word that means "humanity to others " . This Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to software world.

But this time also I missed to make a swap partion. Actually I don't know how to make a swap? How much space needed ? How it should be specified at the time of installation??

Struggling for getting interest to blog

In these days I was really struggling for getting a topic to blog. I can say, no time to study or read a new thing.But I want to enrich my knowledge. Usually I go to office at 8.00 am and return only on 9.30 pm. In software companies this become a culture. Even if they(sorry, we ) don't have work, we will be keen to pretend that we have work or heavy load. I can cry on public, in that 10 or 11 hours, most of the time my brain will be switched off.

But I am not ready to stop my blogging spirit. Here I am alone. I want my life to open to others so that I believe, I can reduce loneliness . You can expect more, more funny things.

Tessy Thomas, the first 'missile woman' of India
New Delhi, Wed, 14 May 2008 NI Wire

Indian women after serving to various post which were known to be controlled by their male counterparts including the post of Prime minister to President, Police service to the field of aviation here is another newsmaker Tessy Thomas who is been appointed as Project Director for developing the advanced version of Agni II missile.


An expert of solid system propellants which is used in Agni missile, Tessy earlier has worked as Assistant Project Director in successful launch of Agni III Interballistic missile with 3500 range on May 7.

“I like my job. I feel I am contributing to my nation's security,” said at an award function who was facilitated along with the entire team behind Agni III success story by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

She shared the responsibility with other 200 women defence scientist contributing India through Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Her take on the advance form of Agni II which will develop under her guidance was, “It's still a confidential project. It will be called Agni-II-A2.”

After completing B.Tech from Thrissur Engineering College, Kozhikode, and an M.Tech in Guided Missile from Pune, this 45 year old who is also tagged as India's missile woman has also worked with the missile man of India , Dr Abdul Kalam the former president of India.

She has also analysed the reason for the failure of earlier version of Agni III which brought immense help to overcome the shortcomings and successfully launch the Agni III with range of 3,500 km.

She has also become the aspiration of millions of women who want to make career in this field. She is also a reflection of a changing scenario of women in India.

tech blog : new idea

I started one tech blog web developer school . Blogging and editing the blog templates makes me some knowledge as well as interest in web programming. So I decided to write down the experiments in web. I hope it will enlarge your knowledge as well as my interest.

The age of 'blog ' pathys

Read this chennai chronicle news . This will really encourage you to blog because laks of people are blogging daily in India.

The age of 'blog ' pathys

Frustrated with the fact that the money making drill known as your job has evolved into sitting at a desk from 9 to 5, getting paid peanuts at the end of the month? For all those buckling under the monotony of daily life, the global phenomenon called blogging may just have opened the doors to wealth heretofore unseen in office space.

But how does this work? The answer lies in the revenue generated from ads posted on each blogger’s site. Kiruba Shankar, a popular blogger from Chennai, says, “There are several ways to make a handsome earning through blogs. However, the most popular mode happens to be through ads, specifically – Google’s Adsense service. Subscribers of the service are paid a commission on the basis of the number of hits that ads placed on the subscribers’ blog get. The ads are posted according to the relevance of the blog.”

If you are a lover of gadgets and you frequently blog about the latest in gizmos, your blog could be posted with ads pertaining to local dealers of such gadgets, auctioning sites that sell them at different rates etc. The revenue earned by a blogger would depend on various factors. Ganesh, the blogmeister of Rupaiya.com explains this, “The money you make from the ads depends on the subject of the blog, it’s popularity and its ranking. For an ad space, one can earn anywhere between Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 9,000 per month. Hits on these advertisements could a fetch a blogger anywhere between Rs 4 to Rs. 300.” Ganesh says, “I have made about Rs 7 lakh in about a year and a half. But there are even those who earn from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 20 lakh per month.”

Parminder Singh, the business head of technology, Google India says, “The revenue as well as the exact number of bloggers in Adsense are confidential. Of course, it’s very popular in India and almost every major blogger is a part of it.”

However, ads are not the only way to make money through blogs. Ramanujam, an engineering graduate who makes more money from his blogs than his ads says, “I write product reviews and link my blog to the product’s website. So in turn, that company pays me.” He adds, “I have made almost a six-figure amount which is enough to sponsor my higher education.” But before these figures tempt you to quit your job and start blogging, Kiruba cautions, “It may look like the next big thing in terms of money, but it’s not as easy as it seems. Only a fraction make that kind of money. Moreover it takes a blogger almost a year, maybe more to make money.” Jamshed. V. Rajan, the product head of Ibibo.com, says, “Even though some portals have a system similar to Google’s, they are not as popular, due to the factors like accuracy, relevance etc.”

Are you getting the answer to the question ,'For what, are you studying '??

I am really strugging to get answer for that question. In my schooling days I thought , "I am studying for getting first rank in class". Then I understood that the answer was not sufficient for me to keep interest in studies.
Somehow I managed to get P.C Thomas tuition Centre in Plus two days. Then I understood , I was nothing , I was totally weak in lot of areas . Getting a good rank in P.C class was very difficult, that retarded my interest in studies. Then I kept another target as getting admission in a good engineering college. After getting ECE in Thrissur GEC, I realised that also not giving a permanent desire for study. For what I am studying ? getting good job, getting a rich girl, buying a car....etc.. These answers had come through my mind . But those were not giving me a final answer or an end to that question.
After started to write some technical things in my blog, I realised that I could have write more technical things or whatever I had studied. That would be very useful to next generation and also my article or blog would live even if my age over. Currently what I am thinking, just write down in blog whatever I am studing. Actually these intention, really give me interest in studing.

The 96-yr-old who blogs

Understand the meaning of the words of Randall on his 96th year.

"I am a learner. I believe that when one stops learning he ceases to live and that it is never too late to learn,"

These words are nice and encouraging me to do what I am hided in myself.


Randall Butisingh

At an age when people begin to lose interest in many aspects of the world around them, 96-year-old Randall Butisingh not only mastered the intricacies of the internet but also began his own blog, which describes him as one of the world's oldest bloggers and shows him as a man with a remarkable catholicity of interests.

The grandson of indentured workers who were taken to Guyana to work on sugar plantations, Butisingh has watched the world transform many times over in the past nine decades and has adjusted himself to the changes.


"I am a learner. I believe that when one stops learning he ceases to live and that it is never too late to learn," Butisingh said.

At the age of 80, he learnt Arabic so he could read the Quran. At 95, he began studying Spanish and he is doing it "poco a poco" (little by little). Butisingh has an agile mind and an eager interest in life and at present he is studying the Hindu religion and philosophy.

Butisingh's blog is versatile. Its subject categories vary from Buxton (his home town), economics, world politics, environment, history, philosophy, poetry, psychology, religion and an inspiring thought for the day.

In April, Butisingh posted a blog on his website that stressed the need to keep the internet an open arena and out of the hands of those who wished to place restrictions on this free medium. He responds to every comment or response to his popular blog.

Born in Buxton, Demerara, in what is now Guyana, Butisingh has never visited India since he does not like travelling, but he has followed Indian history and geography.


"The person I admire most is Mahatma Gandhi, the architect of India's freedom. Although I never saw him, I wept when he died as many did all over the world," he said.

He has three collections of poems to his credit - "Love's Light", "Wild Flowers" and "Love's Balm". His poems were written in the 1970s and he was inspired to pen them after reading about the life of the late blind and deaf humanitarian, Helen Keller.

Explaining his daily routine, Butisingh said: "At my age, I do not work strictly as per routine. I cannot read for very long although I have good eyesight. You may find me in the day resting for hours and at nights up until two or three reading or typing up my blog.

With the death toll from a massive earthquake in China now above 67,000, the government aims to prevent new deaths by protecting survivors from possible floods and the threat of a disease outbreak. Jamila Trindle reports from Beijing.



Chinese health officials said Tuesday that they have begun the country's largest public health effort in recent history to guard against the threat of epidemics among survivors of the Sichuan earthquake.

Concern about possible outbreaks is rising not only because survivors are living in cramped, sometimes unsanitary areas, but also because the threat of disease is always higher in the summer. Officials say there have been cases of diarrhea, tuberculosis, and hepatitis among survivors, and they are monitoring the cases closely.

Ministry of Health official Chen Xian Yi says researchers have compared the current outbreaks with disease patterns before the quake.

Chen says that they have found that there are no more cases after the earthquake. In other words, he says, so far, there has been no big outbreak of disease.

While health workers focus on disease, soldiers are trying to evacuate an additional 80,000 people from around a lake that formed when a landslide dammed a river during the quake. With heavy rains expected in the coming days, there are fears the dam could give way suddenly, causing a flood that could endanger more than a million people. More than 70,000 people evacuated the area earlier.


how deeply the disaster affect the people in china. If you want to see the coordination of chineese people even in this critical situation read the ppt . http://naveendavisv.googlepages.com/Earthquake11.ppt

Sea bath

This is very hot season in chennai. Actually people call these days as Agni Nakshatram( burning star).In room I cann't sit, fortunately power cut is also there in my place( ha ha) .Today I got a chance to bath in sea. Really enjoyable.I went to Basant Nagar Beach at 5.30 pm.I called my hcl
friends also.Lot of people were enjoying the sea bath till I came
back(7.45 pm).Actually the water is not good for bath because it is
mixed with sand as well as some dirty things. Anyway after a long time I took bath in sea.
If there were more trees in chennai , it would have really helpful to escape from these hot season. Instead of trees, only building are here. It will only help to increase the temperature.The thing I understood , I have AC in my office, but the cooling I got from the sea shore had some more safty or calmness than I am getting from office.

MLM in all forms is illegal: experts

Actually this was Deccan Chronicle news on Saturday 10 may 2008

Before going to join any MLM ( multi level marketing ) you should read and understand these words :

Speaking about the 'pyramid modeled' businesses, Ms. Shobha lyre, the deputy director of Citizen Consumer & Civic Action Group(CAG) says,"When the perpetrator and the victim of the crime are one and the same, it's matter of greed overtaking good sense. Unless the business is registered with a proper license, those involved will not come under the purview of the Consumer Protection Act".
Mr. Chandrashekar, special public prosecutor for the CBI in the high court says that MLM companies are governed by the 'Prize chits and Money Circulation schemes ( Banning) Act'. He explains, " According to judgement passed in 2005, the so-called MLM squarely falls under the defintion of 'money circulation schemes' under the aforementioned act."
He adds, " In fact, enrollment of new members to the MLM scheme with a promise of an incentive is illegal. Under Section 7 of the act, any meeting held to canvas people or influence them to join
an MLM chain can actually be stopped by the law of enforcement authorities."

89 % of the people in pyramid model business is not getting any profit .

A confession of a Btech student... the things I forgot to follow

Really I wasted lot off time in Btech life. When I joined in the Electronics & comm department , I thought I would get everything from teachers itself. But in Btech 90% of things, a student need to study by himself... that is fact. It is possible... easily possible. But you should follow whatever principles you followed in the schooling time. Wake up early at least 6 am. Give half an hour to every subject in every day. .... every body will have one time table in school time.One thing that is different in college, teachers will not take portions everyday . So we have to study ourself to cover that day portions. Main problem for students failing to follow these principles in Btech ( from my experience and problems me faced) are .....
Following some superheros..... Those are coming in car to college or showing that they have some money or having 3 or 4 girl friends to talk...haha. Don't follow them. They are only showing their father's money or what they got before coming to college. Believe that you are the superhero. Show your hard work and abilities in studies and helping others. You can show things that you learned after coming to college. For that you must try to clear your weaknesses..... struggle for that.
Wasting time . ... In my college life, I stayed in hostel. In that days , I didn't get interest to study, because no portions of subject were moving. ... Nothing to study. The subject that taking in classes were not interesting. But one thing I can tell, if you try to study subject daily , you can create interest in those subjects easily and you can follow teacher's classes also. But Btech study culture is, only studying in exam holidays. I will tell, you can pass exams with that study, but it will not give satisfaction in study. Don't follow that culture , follow the study culture you got from your schooling. My mother is a teacher, so I know how strictly I followed sch ool time table and my own time table , including weekly revision of subjects.( i really confessing. ) . I forgot to tell how I wasted my time in Btech life. Actually i didn't get my own private time. Always some friends wil be there.( these are not their problem only , I also included in disturbing others ) .. playing cards , going for movies, talking about waste things...... etc. These things are needed, I know . But no limitations was there in my Btech life. “ Better you take single room or come from home to college . You should get your own 5 hours time daily“ this is my first advice to Btech students.

Make use of everything in your college... attend your teacher's class.. I least go and attend the classes. If you are following the daily portions then that classes will be helpful. Attend seminars , technical talks of every subject ,including other department. “Don't think I am a electronics student so why should I attend a computer science or mechanical subject talk”. Attend... attend. No need to understand everything . Make use of your library. Read books.... Don't read for exam. Study to get some extra knowledge. This was the No:1 mistake I did in my Btech. I didn't take even a single book from my main library.... I am really regretting because of that. But I usually go and take magazines from my department library . There are really good books and magazines that you can not subscribe or buy. My favorites are 'linux for you', 'PC Quest', 'electronics for you'. Go and participate every technical programs in every college.

The things that you must follow other than you followed in school are you must make a habit of browsing Internet 1 hour daily . Relate the subject you studied and the information you got from Internet . Try to acquire knowledge,technology,computer programming language from Internet. This is not for CS ,ECE but for every Btech student, Every day you should try for some new thing from Internet. At the same time you should not go back in your college subjects.

Every week or month you should try a project with the information you get from college, internet, magazines, books. In electronics there are lot off magazines and projects avaliable . Try to do those things monthly as group( with your friends) or individual.

Try to read English news papers daily and discuss daily news. That will improve your English as well as communication skill.(second mistake I did)

Blog - giving me some interest in web design

Actually I had no idea about what is html and css. But after starting this blog and blog reading , i understood that lot off people are interested in blogging and they are also keen in decorating their blogs. With in 2 months I studied lot of html and css stuff that we can insert into our blog. More than that blogging taught me how to increase traffic to my blog and how to increase my blog page rank.Because I need more people to read my blog( dialy i search for some new idea to get one more viewer to my blog)and click my advertisement. Adsense money - www.google.com/adsense - is my one of the motivating thing for blogging.Actually this motivation gives me more interest in internet world. I even scrapped my blog address in orkut and my communities... ha ha. With in these days I got some good response as well as more bad response from my friends. But one thing I understood is more people from outside kerala are intersted in doing these kind of internet activities. You should update your blog daily base or weekly base and give some good information to your readers then only they will come again.This is not at all time wasting or money loosing. But it is improving my self study power, English and knowledge.

broadband in Laptop

Today I got Tata indicom broadband connection. Actually it is prepaid connection. For 3 months 2150 Rs (including installation charge) . For more information see http://www.tataindicombroadband.in/access/prepaid/order/prepaid_tariff_a.html

IIT Madras .... My dream place

Thank you God. ... Last Sunday , I got a chance to visit IIT Madras. In my plus two class time,IIT Madras was a favorite subject in my dream. (now also).... But I didn't get. ... In chennai IIT Madras is standing as a separate place when we compare with other places in chennai. The campus climate is that much good for studying. You will not feel you are entering into a college , but it is like a forest... full of trees and greenish. That much silence is needed for a student who comes to IIT. ... amazing. But you can see cricket ground and other out door game's ground. Actually I didn't get time to see full IIT-M. Next amazing thing I had seen in IIT-M , is a hundreds of cycles parked in front of the library. Students are utilizing maximum of IIT library. I had seen ,every body is going with some thought in their mind .. It was not a normal walk. they are going like they have to do some work.... Entirely different from my college . Hostels are named as Indian river's name. ...... And I found one “CENTRAL JAIL “ board.... I dont know what is that ..I think , it may be the main hostel....ha.ha. We ( me and hostel mate ) had a coffee from the restaurant inside IIT-M.

... It was a good Sunday for me and my friend.

He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 180 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out. The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

SPAM TURNS 30-YR-OLD

see the deccan chronicle news .....
Spam, the scourge of the Internet, is celebrating its 30th birthday. According to tech historians, the first spam message was sent by a marketing executive of a computer firm on May 1978 to users of Arpanet, an earlier form of the Internet. The spam was relatively innocent and welcomed the users to the showroom to see the firm’s new range of computers. Though spam is over 30 years old, it was given its name only 15 years ago by Joel Furr, an administrator of Usenet, to refer to unsolicited bulk messages. At present, spam is pervasive danger for Net users. It is believed that about 90 percent of all emails are spam.

Start PHP and Mysql in Fedora Core 3

Actually I studied how to open mysql in fedora linux in my last vacation time. But I haven't written it anywhere . That's why I had to go for searching it again.

If we installed every mysql package in Fedora Core 3, we would get one 'mysqld'. It starts mysql server demon.

For getting mysql prompt , execute /etc/init.d/mysqld start in shell prompt.

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start

Starting MySQL: [ OK ].....

Execute mysql in shell prompt.

[root@localhost ~]# mysql

mysql > SHOW databases;

mysql > USE mysql;

mysql > SHOW tables;

PHP :-

We can embed php code inside HTML. I copied my php code in /var/www/html and started httpd - Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server . Application --> System Settings --> Server Settings --> Services , tick httpd and click Start.

example 1:

< ?

phpinfo();

? >

save this code in /var/www/html as test.php

run http://localhost/test.php in mozilla. Then we will get the php installation details.

You can make changes in /etc/php.ini.

This is to ME

When I try to give money to any beggar, my hand go for only coins. Sometimes I have only 5 Rs above notes, then I won't give . Sometimes even if I have 5Rs notes, I go for 5Rs coin or less . In Chennai, if you have a kind or humble heart, then you have to part 10Rs for beggars everyday from your daily budget. Because that much people beg in front of you. Sometimes I won't have mind ( enough confidence) to give to them. These may be the reasons......
Not have that much confidence : - That means , the money that I made is going away from me with out any benefit. So I am not interested ...
What will think others who are all seeing that?? :- some kind of complex may be due to my status, dress, family prestige etc........

Fake beggars :- ( is now very common ) : Beggars are not now real or they are compelling to beg by some others ( mafia) .
It become a usual thing :- Every day I have to see the same beggars on my way to office.

But usually I try to give something to them. If I think about how much fortunes and happiness God has given to me , I can not avoid them.

Google Lunar X prize

In future I think this contest will be become between the people.

LAMP......I have started it again

Actually last 15 days were tough days for me. After the training in Software Testing for two months , our batch got 15 days crash course in Oracle data base. We had studied data base fundamentals,SQL, and PL/SQL.Even if Oracle database is predominemt in market, I believe that in internet web technology area LAMP (LINUX,APACHE,MYSQL,PHP) have quite good place.So I am planning to do some experiments in this area...

Encripted Computer data can now be stolen

This news is a really a big question to computer data security field... " In a technical paper published of the web site of Princeton's Centre of information Technology Policy, the group demonstrated the standard memory chips actually retain their data for seconds or even minutes for power is cut off.
When chips are chilled using an inexpensive can of air, the data were frozen in the place, permitting the researchers easily read the strings of ones and zeroes, out of the chip memory.
"Cool the chips in liquid nitrogen(-196C) and they held their state for hours at least without any power " Edward Felten a Princeton Computer Scientist, wrote in his web posting "

Linux Again

I installed Fedora Core 3 in my laptop. More than Windows, I like to work in Linux Os.Because everyday Linux will open some unknown things in front of me .Linux never try to hide anything if we are ready to explore it.I suggest Linux to all engineering students including ECE,CS,EEE,ME, because they can explore their own ideas in this operating system freely and it will teach you a new programming style and philosophy

Wisdom song .....BABA AMTE

Baba Amte ...A real wisdom chapter ... One truth about great people, they never realize that they are great. I studied about Baba in my schoolings. From news paper I understood he passed away after his six decades of selfless service on Friday 11th February 2008.In six decades of selfless service, Baba Amte helped over sixty thousands leprosy patients,gave them back their life and dignity.Amte till in his last,just moved about as an ordinary man.The same person who won the alternate Nobel prize,the Demming medal,a padma Vibhushan, and dozens of International Awards,but looking at him you never have guessed it.His prize money alone was over a million dollars,yet he wore a coarse cotton tunic and shorts all his active life. You can read about him in this link http://baba.niya.org/index.php?page=about_baba

History or myth??

" Britons seem to be struggling with these concepts as survey on Monday revealed that nearly quarter of them think former British Prime Minister Winston Churchil and Mahatma Gandhi were fictional characters and majority of them think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Shelock Holmes was real" Deccan Chronicle news. I think now all Indian will refuse this statement because they know Gandhi is in our Father of nation. I am sure, if this question again arises after 50 years , our next generation will be in confusion......Who is responsible for that ?? Surely we are responsible for that. If we can not demonstrate their principles and thoughts through our life to next generation, thse real models(real history) will become fictional characters....... .....

Chennai ranks high in levels of Hazardous materials in air

The news in Deccan Chronicle Chennai on 24/1/08 will worry the people in chennai about their future and about next generation. " According to recent reading collected from certain areas in chennai by central pollution control board(CPCB), the RSPM level ( content of hazardous particles in the air content) is 94 , while the danger level prescribed by the CPCB is 100. The massive urbanisation and industrialization has led to a rise in population, vehicles and fuel consumption as well ". Dr. Pushpavanam from IIT Madras says " The quality of air in chennai is poor because of high emission of lead fuel and due to diesel powered vehicles".Also people with asthma,heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to poor air quality. This constitute new problem". At the last of the article Dr. Makhijani's words are very touching " Every comfort has its own disadvantage. A problem as prominent as this can not be resolved unless it is attacked from all sides and that requires some sacrifice". I am sure that the writer of this article is a person who love nature as well as chennai

Fear Typhoid fever

Last two weeks I was suffering from heavy fever.That fever taught me a lot. Especially how to face a problem when I am alone.I had medicines from chennai hospitals, but I couldn't stop that fever.It is better to get suggestions or instructions from elders or parents in such situations.I returned back to home and admitted in LF hospital Angamally.Now I am quite ok. It was actually typhoid fever. http://www.reference.com/search?q=typhoid%20fever . In chennai, I will get fever,headache or digestion problem in every month. Main reason for this is the big city's authorities is not caring or noticing the drainage system. When a small rain comes, you can not differentiate between the rain water and sewage water. The sewage water handling is very poor in chennai . The smell that coming from this canals is horrible. It is hard enough to make you unconscious. Everyday I have to cross one such sewage water canal before going to my office in Tidel Park.Why these developed city is lagging or not listening this dangerous problem?? Why the authorities are not caring the health of people??
