How to top on search results?



It is interesting to find our names listed in Google search result. I do often search my name in Google, and see how many number of results it returns.

222 results for my name:
-------------------------------
For the search string “Manivannan Palanichamy” (my full name), it returns 222 results. (Almost all are technical forums, mailing lists, where I post my queries and answer )


My home page is ranked 4th
--------------------------------
For the search string, “Manivannan” , my home page (http://geocities.com/manivannan57 ) is listed in 4th place. It was in I st place, few month ago. I’ve not reserved a domain on my name. If you want your website to be top listed on search results, then better you reserver a domain name similar to the search keyword. For example, for a search keyword, "manivannan", the first match would be, manivannan.com, manivannan.in and etc. \


These people give reference to my home page:
------------------------------------------------

Reference link is very important. More the people refer you, more the importance your website gains!

Inflation control

Feeling little uncomfortable with current going.

1.I think technology has taken next big jump. I gave up reading technicals long back. So, huge gap formed. Have to sync with it. Should plan a workaround.

2. I realize I spend lots of money in these days; Though it is reasonable, should control it.
I don’t have time to do anything in these days. My workload is 200% peek. Though I try to prioritize them, everything sits in ‘Very urgent & important’ bucket.

Best of ever written, in 4 years :-)



Programs as poems:

If you look at some body’s code, you will see it as a poem, not merely a software program. That’s how they write it. Impressed by those cool programmers, I tend to follow lots and lots of code tricks and style in whatever I write. Recently, I was developing a java based application for my personal use. If you are interested to listen, I could continue telling the best I have don’t in it,

  1. No use of Class level (or global) variables. (Because they confuse programmers to trace the parts, where they are initialized & modified.)
  2. No hard-coding. (Because, tough to change later)
  3. No bad smells in code. (no big methods, no big expressions, no big conditions, no complex loops)
  4. Standard, naming conventions (I use some times underscore too, in java. why dont you ask 'why'? )
  5. Exception handling – (Anti pattern imitated)
  6. Large scale of reusable code. (Seriously)
  7. Use of Design Patterns – (that’s a sign of great future)
  8. Proper (styled) Java doc comments, (you will be impressed if you see it.)
  9. Code refactoring, using tools.(one should really do)
  10. Code inspection, using tools. (rare tools)

I couldn’t post the code here; I would post the code somewhere & give the link here.

Schindler's List - Best of ever made.


I've been watching this movie since last 15 days, with 5 intervals. Pch.., life has gone so worse that, not even able to see a 2 hr movie in one shot!

Anyway.

You google it for Steven Spielberg's top 5 movies & follow any link, you might definitely see there 'Schindler's List'. Thought it came out in 1993, it's been ranked as 7th/250 in world's movie database till date.

Story in few lines.

1943: Just the world war has begun. Germanians treat Jews as 'viruses' and go on killing them. Schindler, coming as an unsuccessful businessman, member of Hitler’s nazi party, plans to start a factory using the slaves(Jews) and make money out of it. As the German officers are against Jew’s living, Schindler gives bribe many times to save his slaves. Jews feel happy to work in his factory, because that should be the safest place & the only way to escape from German force. Time passes by. As the situation goes worse, Schindler is asked to move out of the city. Schindler decides to move his factory to his born city. He prepares a list of Jews, that he wants to take along with him. And he gives a big bribe to German officers, to allow those Jews to go with him. Jews feel that the worst is over for them.

One day, the war comes to end. Soviet force defeats the German & the Jews are liberated.

His workers, offers Schindler's a gold ring. Schindler says he would have saved more, if he has got more money to give the bribe. But, his workers console him, saying still he has done a great thing, that no one else did. There will be generations because of what he has done. And they all give him a letter of thanks, with every worker's sign. Schindler leaves. The story is over.





Black & White.

The whole film goes in black & white. Though you are bored for first 30 to 40 mins, you will become keen afterwards. No big turning points/ exciting turns in movie, but every scene makes sense.

The Message

I was wondering what kind of message could be conveyed in such a war movie. But, if carefully noticed, you would see one greatest, touching message. Schindler explains the real meaning of 'Power' to the German officer, as

"You kill Jews, because you have power. But, power is not meant in that way. See, Kings had power. A thief is pulled by public, to King's court, and set to kneel down in his front. The thief knows he is going to be death sentenced by the King. He very well knows that he is going to be killed. But, the King says him not to do it again, and allows him to go out - That’s not forgiving, that’s not mercy. That’s the power. Real power. That’s some thing, the 'King' only can do using his power & no one else".

After this incident, the German officer changes a bit in life. When he finds some Jew slaves not working well in his command, he just says them not to do it again & leaves them go, without killing.

Steven Spielberg - his way of making.

The movie is very much violent. But, that’s what happened during II world Word. The best thing about him is, there won’t be any gap between the movie & real incidents. That’s how the real art should be. 'Manipulated' movies dont attract people that easily.
