Techworld: December 2011
http://vivtech.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
My view of the myriad world of technologies. December 23, 2011. And finally, I have landed myself back into Unix/Linux domain. All those stuff I had seen 2.5 years back have to be brushed up now and applied at a professional level. Everything people speak around here sounds familiar but never quite strikes any place in my head. That is the state one got to get out asap so that the machinery gets into motion without any unfortunate events. So on and so off. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My view of the myriad world of technologies. March 19, 2010. Now, That is Rude! This is an error message I received for a mail I sent with a mistyped address. Now thats really personal to say things like that. The 'Mail Delivery Agent' even apologises that 'he' was not able to deliver my message. But stating that he doesn't like my recipient IS rude. :D :D. I wonder what all such agents would end up doing if they showed their own tastes and preferences. Links to this post. March 17, 2010.

Techworld: Batteries - The Achille's heels of your laptop

My view of the myriad world of technologies. February 14, 2012. Batteries - The Achille's heels of your laptop. Last friday night, I unplugged my laptop (Dell Studio 1555 -2 yrs old) to hand it over to my room-mate, and was shocked to see the laptop switch off immediately. After an hour of frantic googling on scant network resources (that was the day we switched the internet provider, and were having problems connecting), I was convinced that my battery is dead and nothing could be done to salvage it....

My view of the myriad world of technologies. April 10, 2010. Importance of Logs and History. Something that is very important for administration of large systems and databases are logs. Logs in the sense, log files as well as log of all transactions by maintaining history tables, in case of databases. Why is it that logs are so important? How and what to log. In a production database handling millions of records with 100 columns on an average in each table, database designers end up loading a huge amount...

My view of the myriad world of technologies. May 01, 2011. This is again about instincts in the software engineering industry. Last time I vouched for trusting your test cases and what-if analysis rather than instincts. But I missed upon a major point, that is the part that instinct plays in the overall process of software engineering. But sometimes inexperienced personnel in charge of similar duties in the absence of the above mentioned qualified experienced personnel, get to experience such gut feeling...

My view of the myriad world of technologies. June 30, 2010. VLC 11 Crash on PC Lock. I noticed that my latest vlc(1.1) installed on Windows XP SP2 crashes whenever I lock the pc (win L or auto-lock). This seems to be a known bug when I searched the net. Hope they will fix this soon. I am fed up of this bug as I listen to long list of songs while at work, and hate to fill it up again due to the crash. Links to this post. June 22, 2010. VLC 11 is here. The new and improved VLC 1.1 is here. Check out.

My view of the myriad world of technologies. November 14, 2009. I too joined the wave, that is Google wave today.(Thanks to Cyriac and Ribu for sending me one invite each in an interval of two minutes :) ). I found it to be very useful for collaborative activities,and having group chats like we have for our class group. Its great when there are a lot of people involved at the same time. Other than that, currently I don't see much of a use for this. Anyway for its initial stage,it does provide something d...

My view of the myriad world of technologies. May 18, 2012. How do you solve your problems at work? As a programmer, as an analyst or a software engineer, I wish to place a question to you readers. To solve the problems you face in your work do you read anything, be it technical, managerial or mid-way? Well, I guess everyone reads only one thing - Google. This is the very point for which I am against depending on Google to solve all your problems. So what is it that you need to do? A) Firstly. start t...
