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.
