The Concepts

I happened to be an eye witness of an accident followed by its death yesterday, while I was on my way to office.  It was haunting me for long hours.  The victim was not a human being but a small kitten. But it was alerting me all the way until the world cup soccer fever.  But it was following me again, when I was passing through the same place in the morning.  It seems somebody was scratching me again and again.   I was heading to catch my bus to office yesterday night.  At a narrow road, I was feeling somebody following me silently and turned back and found a Lexus SUV was just behind.  Given up my way to it and was heading again.  But some how I just look back my way and found a kitten was fighting with death.  It's head was broken and right eye came out.  One of its front leg too was broken.  It was an heart-breaking scene.  I don't know what should I do on this; I couldn't.  Walkig forward while looking back on that sc...

Another week of testing with the best Linux IM client "Pidgin".  I could configure the Office communicator, Yahoo, MSN and gtalk.  The best feature I can see in this, all chat windows can be accommodate with tabbed option in a single window.  This is very good feature and this was the one, I was searching for a long time, when Jabber ( I was using Pandion client ) was switched to Office Communicator at my office.  I think, I seen this tabbing option only in Pidgin version 2.7.1 onwards.  Here, I tested 2 versions of Pidgin. Pidgin 2.6.6 My Ubuntu Lucid kernel is "2.6.32-22-generic" . This version of Pidgin comes by default with Ubuntu Lucid.  What I had to do is, install the 3 dependencies.  Install the following with the order it mentioned. 1. libmp3lame0 2. gstreamer0.10-plugins-multiverse 3. gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 4. pidgin-PPA packages After these 4 items installed, I had tried to restart the services of pidgin, but was not successful.  So...

Another week of testing has completed.  I have found success rate of 95%.  It was a fun-loving work for me.  Installation of Linux was not a rocket science, but make my office application work well, is some what similar to rocket science.  Thanks to Google and Ubuntu communities; helped a lot to do many changes.   One of the major problem I still faces, using the Linux email client with cache mode.  I don't want to waste my disk space using this.  But there is no other client supports non-cache mode with Exchange server; except Microsoft technology.  To over-come this, I had to install Office applications for Linux.  But the response of Microsoft Outlook from Linux is very very slow than from Windows.  I think, Microsoft still hate Linux like anything.  All applications are fast running on this 1GB memory Core Duo system; except Microsoft stuffs.  All my client servers are connecting via SOCKS.  I was worrying how ...

Last one week, I was breaking my head on testing different flavors of Linux.  I opted best desktop version Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and best laptop version Open SUSE 11.2.  My installation set-up was on HP Pavilion tx 2000 Entertainment PC.  It's configuration consists of AMD Athlon X2 64-bit with nVIDIA GeForce graphic controllers, 2GB RAM, 150 GB HDD, Broadcom BCM4312 WLAN card with web-cam and other stuffs like finger print reader etc. Started testing from Open SUSE.  First installed its KDE version.  This is the best interface I saw and very coolest environment.  First I attracted with the "sysinfo" option on the window, when I clicks.  It reveals the graphical display of my HDD usage, system details and much more.  Another plus I found on it is the LVM part ( I am too keen on it ).  The LVM works well on it and I used only 60GB out of my 150 for all the purpose and kept aside the rest of the space for future use.  This is fantastic option...

Let me share some of experiments.  The biggest ever experiment in our life is marriage.  But I am not going tell anything about that now.  Let it be there; that experiment never going to be end till our death.  Some lucky fellows gets only one time to experience it; other unlucky may try more than once.  It's the story of life.  Let it be there. Yesterday, I had night duty.  This month's last night duty.  I had enjoyed yesterday's night duty very well, since I forgot to bring my head phone.  If it had with me, then I would have been lazy to work after a while.  So, I enjoyed till the last minute yesterday at office.  Eppokalypse ( Our bus driver's nick name - It means always tempered in Malayalam) came late to pick us and by the time reached KL Sentral was around 8:30am.  Went with my friend "Ikka" to Restaurant Vishaalaachi to have 2 "veettu dosai", one vadai and a "teh tarik".  After eating this "heavy" break fast ( for...

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:34 Where are we heading to? Do we ever ask this question to our self ? I believe, most are in the race track of achieving something for their world life, not for eternal life. Couple of days ago, I had a conversation with one of my good friend. I know her from my studies. Whenever we meet or talk she always says, tension; but the word doesn't imply that meaning, what she express. But that day when I spoke to her, I really felt that meaning what she says. Earlier, when she says "tension", there was a joy in her heart. Now, she lost that and started to eat the real tension life. This made me to think about our life; what and where we leading? Those good old days, there was no word of tension heard from anybody. Now, look at your surroundings, all are running for something and attracting the tension life. What is the benefit from this? Nothing, just increasing something heavy...

It is an extremely disappointed act by Malaysian Police, who are "supposed" to support the person in need. The incident is taken place at my friend's house who is staying in Taman Desa. His bag with office notebook and important stuffs are stolen around early morning 3:00 am. He complained at nearest police station. The police should at least visit the place and should take some step of investigation. Here the "well-known habit of malaysians" shown. Instead of visiting the place, he rang up my friend. Here are few part of that conversion. Police: "Are you a malaysian ?" Friend: "No" Police: " Do you know malay?" Friend: "No" Police: "Why don't you know malay?" Friend: "I am a foreigner, who works here. I know English, my national language and my mother tongue. Can we continue in english?" Police: " Why don't you know malay?" It seems like ( not seems ), he is not int...
