TQM - Problems made problem

Yesterday, was preparing for the TQM exam with very much anxiety. How do I remember all these headings and points? I rushed on pages and loaded the maximux in memory!
I knew p,u,c,x bar charts alone.

Morning 9:50..ten more minutes left. I just gave an onece-over on 5th Unit.
I was unable to recollect even a single point from 5th unit, espeacially which I had left "ISO900, ISO14000 requirements." I think there were 8 headings and with their nested subheadings.

10:0 entered into exam hall (ITP-G22 hall, where is it?, Oops! its opposite to my class room)

10:05 I started glancing the question paper. To my great humour, there I saw
2 problems.. I cooled down myself. 11th problem looked simpler. Its all about
mean & standard deviation..so I just solved..(surprise comes next..), then
looked at 13th(not sure) question..there were 2 problems as alternatives.
10 marks out! Ok, next go to 15th. Woff! Whats this ISO9000 & ISO14000?
Every thing went off. Nothing comes to the mind..except few points...
I was fighting as weaponless fellow in 3Hrs war.

At last it happened! Yes, it became 1'o clock. Got out of the exam hall.
(Here follows the surprise ) I smiled & said my friends, "I have done 11 sum well. Got 12.5 as mean... & 90 % for another quest", "Hey, we too...12.5 & 90%". I felt happy..with them...Someone came immediately and shouted "Who are all getting 12.5 & 90% ?", we replied "We ...guys!(with guts)",he continues.."All you missed 10 Marks..your calculation is correct, but ...the formulaw is wrong". he, he ...the joyest ticks gone away...and at last, we pray "Anna" to save as all.

Hoping to pass !! :-)

Ip/Netmask/Broadcast Web calculator, Google history

Google caches my search history. It prompts for gmail login. After logged in, it caches all my search history (using session)...In future I can refer..
More at..

https://www.google.com/searchhistory/login

And, often it becomes essential to calculate ip/netmask/broadcast...better this web calculator will be helpful next time.

All Nokia models, Wireless presenter

Am much impressed by this Nokia Technology. Seen, the Nokia mobile hardware is preferable for Java platform. At this link, I have seen the complete coverage of All Nokia Mobile Models.

http://www.nokia.co.in/nokia/0,,45260,00.html

I do remember, some days back ZDnet India alerted me about the adventure of
Nokia 9300. Now, 9500 also here...

Recently, read about the wireless presenter at.

http://203.199.107.177/clients/nokia/wireless_presenter/images/home/index.html

Technology is becomming more grips!! 8-)

Here comes a relief for J2ME programmers to do floating point operation...Yes,
this mobile is CLDC1.1 (having java.lang.Float , is that package name correct?
Isnt java.math.Float? )
The mobile series no: Nokia 6030 (Midp2.0, cldc1.1). Sounds cool!

Jprofiler, ssh gambling..

Today, saw all the a/c's have been disabled .....at last I got some valid ip's, allowed by squid in cc-7.
I got one ip left, I set it to one yellow dog. Bala came there. He asked one
more ip? How to get it? How did I do it..

:-) , I started sshd in my system. He 'ssh' ed to my yellow dog and started
mozilla there. (hmm....."there are n no of solution in linux", I still
remember)

At night, was working with Jprofiler. Really a useful tool for benchmarkers. I
made my simple java code for cpu, i/o marking. JProfiler started a separate
window and loaded the class for execution ...then made its chart and
statistics ...
I tried j2ee application there ..But, it was unable to start...might be server
path missing (or) class path mightn't be avail (or) JVM version might not be
suit..have to check out tomorrow..

JSP taglib, playing with Google

Today evening, was searching for jsp taglib. I went through the following link.

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jsp07233.html

Really cool stuff.

Then, I was turning pages of "Software testing".....at 11:30 PM...that time, Prabhu sir called me with Maharaja to UG computer center. He was attending his onli
ne exam.
He just asked my assistance for the test. We just took our chairs ...I said him we could make Google's assisatance...He was answering questions one by one.
We solved all most all the questions. There were some trickies...which I prayed
to Google...
That was the first time, I used my maximum potential to form very complex
queries ...and got answers with in earlier hits.
And, tend to know many thing in Digital System + Circuits..(like, verilog, vhdl
and etc..)

Whats this test policy? I dont understand and agree...It inclueds the syllaby
of core CSE and ECE ..? How come a fellow get to understand all these ?

Yes, again I do remeber there is nothing called frontier in technology.

Then?, tomorrow, have to request another key for Jprofiler trial version.

Here comes the last moment.....

feeling the last moments...after the project



Today, as per academic definition, all the tech nonsense has come to an end. Yes, today attended university project demo. Ram went on first half, and continued the rest in presentation. Really, both made it cool.
Then, evening went demo. This time only saw my project showing peak performance. I feel myself satisfied.
I have to thank a billion to
Prabhu (for his GPRS sim)
Santhosh (for his help with Nokia6600)
Arvind (for his help intransfering files using Bluetooth & IrDA)
Karthik kannan (for his last moment help with Nokia 6670)
Kousalya..(My guru, with her never ending smile and encouragement)
Gopal..(who putup with me ever ....in utilizing servers..)
all my dears, who made this possible....

Photo Bucket

Today, I uploaded all most all my personal photos in photobucket.com. The uploading rate was very slow and resumed speed at afternoon,

Personal Album at:

Also, yahoo photo service was not that much effective. (since, it prompts for authentication for public views)

Chandramugi

18th August 2002. Too old?.. I went to theatre on that day last. I forgot the
film name..

I was eagerly expecting April 14th for Chandramugi. I am one of Rajni's fan..I didnt like
night show..,so I cancelled the ticket..then...dropped the idea of seeing
film...Thanks to Kishore..who made the tickets for us at last.

This is the first time in my life, that I get to theatre at morning 7.30.(!!). Got up at 5' clock ...(Hmmm...I never got up at this time, even for exams..)

At 8'o clock, it started...Rajni film..seemed like a festival. Mass of
crowd infront the theatre....they were doing all such formolities for Rajni..

I always amaze at this people's craze towards Rajni. I never see this gala for any actor...

First half went enjoyable..with cute Rajni as like he was in 1980s.His humorous cracks with Vadivelu. I see there missing his Guts little bit. It is like, Rajni here chosen for the story, not the story for Rajni.



He appears as a psychiatrist and done the char well. Jothika excelled equally. I really thrilled for each scene in second half. It again remained an ancient story...of Maharaja...Chandramugi...etc. But, was nice screen play.

The notables are songs...Vidhya sagar has really proved. SPB still matches with Rajni. Rajni, with his same stlye, blasted all the songs...with cuteness that was never before.

Rajni, acted up on story, not for his Guts. This film again seems like a traditional masala. But, differs in some thing...

is that Rajni?

Bagging up mani@172.16.42.200 and mani@172.16.46.200

"Each beginning has its end. Otherwise it ends itself", I do remember these words, from some one's email signature.I think that, it should be 3 years long, since I have been working on these Linux servers. That time it was Redhat7.3 and I had my loing on 172.16.42.200.

Days rolled out, technology is changed... also the last moments have come to go out of the servers.

I do feel sentimental relation-ship with these servers...I see myself, that some one who takes care of these servers ... by the way of pinging ...load mesuring ....hacking...benchmarking ..and etc.

"How do I express the feelings between a computer and a human?"

This evening, I was busily working on 42. XForwarding was disabled in 46. Also, they cut-down the ssh service in 46. I was cleaning up my area in 42. I saw hell a lot of things listed in my directory. I decided to categorize them ...when I issued 'du -sh ' command...surprisingly....I saw the server took much pain to calculate my area size!.
This is the only witness for my work in past 3 years. I think that it should be more than 1.5 GB. (The server may take easy breath, when my space is removed :) who knows!)

But, this back up work is not a matter of hours or day..will take a long time. Today, spent aroung 1 and 1/2 hrs to remove the *.txt,*.gif,*.java,*.class,*.htm(l),*.tar.gz,*.zip,*.png *.c. *.o' s. I Will have to shift them to CD.
Lets see how goes tomorrow.

Ooty: Trip to "Queen of Hill Stations"

Last friday, I had 2 day trip to Ooty. It is going to be (b)logged as spice in memory. Still I remember the same trip 2 yrs back, with the same friends to there. But it was very short, not even this much colorful.
But, I feel this time it is fabulous, out of all.
I surprised to remember that I was on 2.2 Km hieght!!. When, we were on
Doddabetta, had a chance to look down..from the peak point....How come all
these?
I saw there a cafe. I took a cup of coffee and came out of the crowd..and sat
alone ...I just glanced at the valley...which gone down deep.....(My mind now forgets computer, google and etc). I felt like, I was born again.
"There is no substitute for the peace by nature. I see here the mass..the energy....and the other facet of this universe....my dear livings...plz come here and shout ...I am a tiny dust before this universe ...incomparable with this nature..." so goes my mind.

Then, went to pykara falls..it seemed like dry. We went boating next. Thrilling
moments..Without knowing the break...steering ..we made the fun in all possible ways.

Next, experience is at Shooting spot. I just left my feet slept..took me deep
to the foothill again.....(am I having that much stamina to come up again?, hug!)

Other enjoyable moments with Paramesh...where we guys sat round of him..he
used to do mimicry of all the staffs, whose lectures we had in the past 4 yrs.

The mind is now free from toxins.... I realize "There are many universes ...behind this CPU"!!.

Vivek - the happiest jiffies in life

He is smart, react to the situation casual, and has been my favourite comedian for the long. He has been making people to laugh for the past years in tamil cine field. He also encapsulates a social message with his comedy track.
He used to imitate almost all the famous faces. (Its enjoyable and shows the
people's ignorance about them). Where I remember, he imitated Bharathiyar in a
film, a heart breaking comedy track.
Also, police, doctors and other social servants are his favourite for making
comedy. He highlights the degradation of their dignity...and makes fun
out of it.
I never forget his track in the file 'Run'. He quits from home and travels to
chennai to seek his future... there comes number problems..he burst them all
like crackers.... Atlast, the message comes....people rejecting the parents
.....suffer a lot.
Then, his track in university...as a student....in Majnu...as a worthless
student...as a jobseeker in Vally.... and much more.
Long live vivek!

"The one who makes people Happy, is an ambassador by God".

Trip to friend's home

Some two days back we planned to take trip to my friend's home. Today morning, the plan was loaded for execution. I think the travelling distance was to be some 10 KM.

We prefered jungle route...on the bank of a stream. I dont remember any sound or nauisance in that atmosphere.

I realized the next facet of this life. I saw some people at road side, on the green farm. They were busy at their job. They are the humans, who do not have their own mail-id, who dont bother about spam mails, never come online, never think of buying any domains.

They keep billion mile distance from computers and never prayed to Google.

I surprised, if I was put in their work space, I would become again a baby of 3 years old. I realized, if all the computer companies were to be closed and I would have become unemployable.
When, I was about to leave, I was broken to in to pieaces and murmured, "When do I return back here? "

BE- The End...

$ ssh 172.16.46.200 -l mani -XC
$ asadmin start-domain domain1

I dont know how long my (heap) memory will sustain all these command line hells!. But here I have got a large array of 'Unforgettables' from these guyz!I have been ever thank full to God, for giving me this large pool of friends surrounding.
Here, people I met with, are of different genre of chars. One enjoys his life ever, some works harder like anything, few be always conscious, some dont bother anything and I am mixture of all these.
I feel this life has become very dynamic and accidental. At this moment, I am
learning ...I am aging...and experiencing....
I highlight some virtual characters, whatever these 120 Computer Gurus taught me at this Gurugulam,

"When you stop learning, you feel like you are dead"

"Any problem has its own solution. Dont believe? Try Google!"

"Here is your dream, and here is your parachute, come on."

"There are 2 kinds of people. One who makes computers start thinking, another
who starts thinking like computers...Behave like the former."

"Characters, Health, Knowledge and save them in the same order."

And much more.

Have you worried of this farewell?. But, I did never. Do you believe, we are
away after this?. But I do never. I dont believe at philosophies and quotes.
But, I strongly agree with "All are still sitting with you, when you never believed at farewell."

Hello my dear future Gates and Linus, we can still live as inseparable in this
(e)world, If you too dont believe at farewell.......
