Some spiritual thoughts

Image
Have you ever studied about the last days ( a.k.a Judgement days ) written in old testament of Bible?  A kind of overall book similar to Revelation is Zechariah.  However, from Isaiah onward lots of prophecies are there.  All of these are having connections with what's currently happening in the world.  The most in depth, but difficult to interpret was the one from Daniel; especially Daniel chapter 8.  Adventists groups were questioned because of its interpretations.  What it says is: keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future (Dan 8:26) But it is talking about a time frame for these to happen.  Which is 2300 evenings and mornings ( Dan 8: 14 ).  But in its last chapters, it says different numbers; 1290 days ( Dan 12: 11 ).  On its next versus, it says : A blessing will be on the man who goes on waiting, and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days. ( Dan 12: 12 ) What do...

Nirbhaya Case - Thanatophobia and Burden of Shame

Image
Fight for the justice for Nirbhaya had now come to an end at last!!!.  Looking at the way convicts advocates tried to escape them from being hanged it tells many things to us. Thanatophobia - This means, fear of death.  If you read all comments stories related to this, all 4 convicts had that symptom.  Time to time, they tried to delayed their death sentences at any cost.  That shows how they fear their death.  When they brutally raped the girl, they never realized their time will come one day.  They enjoyed her cries at every time.  I guess, they did enjoy even at jail.  That's the reason they never shows any repentance and refused to sleep, eat and had no last wish.  They feared the death so much it is clearly visible from their action.  The divorce drama made by one of the convict's wife also was related to this.  But God was with victim at every phase convicts tries to resist. Burden of Shame - It's all about how co...

Addictions

Image
Once I was wrote about the issues related to social networks .  This topic is more or less related to everything that's surrounded us. All forms of social medias are now becoming a kind of drug irrespective of age.  The millennial's born to the charming world of gadgets.  Their parents and grand parents are feeding them all of these gadgets as important or more than important as their food.  So, where are these heading to ? We often believe that a drug addiction is dangerous.  However in this digital world, addiction to anything is dangerous.  It can be your food, dress, valuables, vehicles, job, television shows and go on.  The list can be never ending.  Any over usage of these are becoming an addiction to the people.  We are handing over that addiction to our future generations. Those good old days people were engaged with many things.  If nothing, they sit together and talk, but not gossip much.  When villages shri...

How does our IT companies do digital transformation internally ?

Image
    In current job market, many prominent companies are using the terms "DevOps Engineer". What does that means?  You really need an IT engineer that focus on technology or a cultural engineer? DevOps is a culture, not a technology.  If that basic do not know for these companies, how are they going to do so called "digital transformation" ?      While I was talking to a friend on this subject, he was told his experience.  He had been offered many jobs in India.  During the discussions, he asked them what do you focus?  Most common answers modern technology, DevOps and digital transformation.  Since they says about these, he asked them "do you have flexible work culture?".  Response was "Of course, we do have".  Since he is from Kerala and the job locations for the interviews he attended were outside of that state, he was happy on that answer.  So, the next question from him was "can you explain that flexible wor...

Microsoft Translate - Funny

Image
Today I have had a fun with technology. Opened a support case for system located in China, from Malaysia.  Received email seeking more update in Chinese language.  This is still acceptable as support team will not have knowledge of person located when opening a case using web portal. However, I decided to try Microsoft Outlook 2013's built-in translator tool.  Funny things happened.  It attempted to translate from English to French automatically and given me same Chinese output. How nice technology making people so dump. Have a good fun day.

What's the expectation ?

Image
      Today went to watch Bond movie "Skyfall".  Before going to the movie most of them suggested movie is not good and not much action.  But to me, be frank, liked it; it's not upto the usual level of all other James Bond movies, but much better than previous one.  First I thought, it's a rework from some old Bond movies itself.  At the beginning minister asks "why don't you continue the role as dead ?"; there they themselves interpreting as a retirement stuff; instead of the one they did in "You Only Live Twice", where Sean Connery died on his girlfriend's bed and coming back to work as undercovered.  Return of the Aston Martin DB5 ( I guess first used in Goldfinger ) also made it well.  But the departure of Madam M was not at its good level.  Something much better could have done.  Anyway, it's time to take over M's position by someone else as well.  Modern Q is not upto the mark; but a dia...

Linux excavations - Debian, Redhat & Maya

Image
     Recently, I had tried several Linux variants in my AMD laptop.  As everyone say, I too loved Ubuntu before it entering to Unity mode.  Once Unity came in picture as default, I had to look for much better flavor.  I would say, Unity is for kids to play around.  Linux is always far better than any other desktop operating system and Ubuntu plays a major role in that to bring it as more people friendly.  I tried Debian, Fedora 16, Mint Lisa & Ubuntu 12. I liked Mint 10; some how I wanted to try the latest flavor.      Debian - This is the base platform for Ubuntu and Mint.  But Debian is powerful and I recommended if you are really interested to play harder with Linux.  Set up itself very minimal and you won't get any wireless driver support.  You have to plug in the network cable, if you want to have complete installation once the base part finished.  Everything has to manually configure. ...
