Back with a bang

Heloooooooo guys, wassup ?
i know it’s been a long time, as usual been very very busy, just finished college exams and now gona start blogging. so to start off with, new stuff in the tech world.

We all know how we love to have everything at one place, well now image if you could open up a browser and the first page that loads will have Facebook, Twitter, RSS Subscriptions, Flickr, Youtube Streams and more. Well guess what, it’s now possible using flock, a new age browser.

I have completly fallen in love with it, it’s so dam good, full of functionality and yes it also has the eye candy to die for.

Enough of talks take a look at it right away!

I am sure all of you would have seen those si-fi movies where images are projected into thin air, well it’s now a reality, a company called vizoo has created it, check out the video below it is a documentation of the 5×5 meter Cheoptics360 in the Vizoo’s
showroom. No special effects or compositing has been used editing this
movie. This is the real thing. you can visit the official website of vizoo.

Ok so that’s it from me for today, more on the next post. Keep an eye as the next one is going to have something really special from the iFT Factory.

Senseless bans, Internals, Seminars and more ….

I know, i have been off the virtual blog sphere for quiet sometime, so this is going to be a bit long, get your self a cup of coffee, sit next to a window that faces a tree and if it is drizzling outside, then you are all set for this blog, if not, well don’t worry you can still enjoy it. The weather is quiet like what i told you just now, that’s why i mentioned it, Feels good….

Ok so to start of things, the Karnataka Government is introducing a blanket ban on mobile phone for children under 16. It might be good, but equally it is bad too. In today’s world children have to travel quiet a bit to reach their school, and most of them time both the parents are working. It is always good that children be allowed to carry a mobile phone. They will be able to call up their parents if there is an emergency they can always call them, this makes the parents to have a worry free environment at the office. On the negative side, children do tend to use the mobile on hours to an end, this can cause hearing loss. And then there are the MMS clips that have been doing the rounds. Children are often not mature enough to understand what’s right and not. The best solution to the problem would be to get them a low end mobile that can make calls, and send messages. Along with that allot a calling allowance. This way children will learn how to manage money too. It is a win win situation for both sides. Instead out government wants to introduce a blanket ban, where in if children below 16 are found using a mobile phone the cops would have complete authority to go ahead and confiscate the handset and fine them for using a cellphone. In todays hi tech ordern era this is really dumb to do. If you would like to read more on this issue, check out this link

I have finished up my internal exams at college this week, All subjects went well except math, again this time it was totally my mistake, got a formula confused. Anyway it happens, The best one i think was the C Programming Lab, My friend Aashish and me were pretty confident we were going to score high, and it did happen. I was given a simple Fibonacci series program and a program to add and subtract two user inputed matrices. Easy programs, completed all the writing and executing work in 45 mins. Total score you ask? i got a 40 on  40. So did Aashish, there was nothing much to cut in our papers. it was correct upto the last dot. In other things some really funny questions were asked during the viva round of the Digital Electronics Lab, a student was asked this question “What is the difference between our college gate and a Logic Gate”, the student was really stunned the hear this. It was funny and good.

After the internal exam, we were headed out the college, when we met The HOD of Computer Applications, a really nice person, she values every thing students say, and this is one teacher who gets our suggestions implemented in  a matter of hours. So we were just causally speaking about the exams and how the classes were, when the issue about web based programming popped up. All the students in my college as well as other colleges think only about application development, Very few of them into web based development. So my HOD asked me to give a seminar on Web Based development to all the Teachers of the computer application dept. man am i honored or what. Just think about it, how many students would get a chance to teach their teachers. It’s really a privilege to do so. And i am looking forward to it too.

And again the weekend bow’s down on us, after a week of exams, work pressure and not feeling well, i would rather just chill out a coffee shop, catch up with a few of my friends have good time come back home and relax. yup that’s what i am going to do. So that’s it from me for now.  Chow ~ Peace ~

Weekend >

There is this feeling on weekends, you feel calm and composed, you feel all good about it. I wonder what would happen if we could make ourselves feel the same on other days, wouldn’t that be good. I mean think about it, you would feel good doing what ever it is that you are doing, and life would become that much more simple and nice. I am going to try and do that for a month, lets see if it’s possible.

In other things i was at the mall yesterday, watching a movie. Movie kind of sucked but never the less i enjoyed it. After the movie i wanted to go back home, as i had left my car back home, i was to take a auto to my house. My friend Habin and me were trying to get an auto, every auto either said Rs. 150 or 1.5 on meter or something like it’s too far, we cant come or some crappy reason like that, until this guys came and said hop in and that too with a smile. Now this was something that set me thinking. Before i got this auto i was like pissed off at the autos who said no, but i was kind of really happy this guy helped me out. coming to think of it, it’s not our profession, religion, cast, sex or status that defines us, it’s what we are, and the value we have for other people around us. I never used to like these auto drivers, but suddenly i realized it’s not them as a group but just some individuals that give a bad name to a certain group of people based on whatever category. We are kind of strange, people think so different, we never think of people as individuals, we put them into silly groups based on categories such as caste, religion.etc, and if someone from a group does something wrong the whole group gets affected. I think people should now start considering people as individuals than a person belonging to such and such a group.

I think it’s time you guys really sit back and think, how many times we have looked down at people of a group who are suffering discrimination because some one person did a mistake. If you get time, comment back on this.

Thats it for my weekend brunch. cya all later, Chow ~ Peace ~

A watch, some biz cards ….

Yes i finally got myself a watch, and that too one that i like, It’s a new one from titan called the aviator series. and when my dad saw it he went “So does it show the time ?”, lol, i can understand, it’s tough to see the time. But i like the design, being a design professional myself i like things that are inclined towards design.

In other news, We printed new cards, again we did something on the design front. We made it round edged, and a different colour scheme.

This is all for this blog, i know small one, but that’s it now, i have my internals so keeping it short . Chow.

The Week That was

The previous week was so happening, both in a good and bad way, The week started off with a flurry of new projects, And by the end of the week we had completed many projects too. Things went really smooth for iFrame, ok that’s it for iFrame, in other news, We had a great week, i learnt how to play the first few lines of the song Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd on my guitar, man i just so love that song.

In other stuff, my car broke down and then i had to send it to the service station, it’s back, but i gota test it on the Outer Ring Road, Got to see if it still has the Drag feel. and this week i need to get some Tyres for the car too.

Friday was fun, We were working till 3:00 Am in the morning, man that’s the longest we have worked at iFrame. Man were we all so exhausted after that.

The Weekend was fun too, We got Habin a new laptop. Then we chilled at ‘On Da Roxx’, a really nice place, expensive, No main course food like Le Rock, But great amience and real good Music, Oh by the way the Dj at On da roxx was my college mate and the drummer of bangalore based band Fahrenheit, So i got a chance to get habin his favorite band RHCP Play, and was he singing or what, The liquids were fun too , Habin also got to taste Pork for the first time in his life, And he was like “I never have eaten pork, never liked the taste of it”, and they way he was gobbling it out of the plate i was like “Ya right, this guys loves pork alright, so much for i never liked the taste.” LOL, and then hit the road went to paramount and had one birinai and three shorma rolls. Got onto an auto that had some problem with it’s engine, it kept stopping mid way, And man we had such a close call, he missed hitting a civic and when he tried to avert the civic, he was like just a millimeter away from a light pole :0 .

OK guys so that’s it for this week, i will be offline most of the time, i got my internals so wont be online for a few days, Chow, Peace
