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.

7. There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. 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

Google has organized a Lunar X prize of $30million competition for the first privately funded team to send a robot to moon, travel 500m and send video and images to earth. http://www.googlelunarxprize.org/ First in 1960s there was a cold war between US and Russia about the mission of moon landing.Now the competition is not between countries, but between the famous companies. 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??
