This may help in killing IE6 for sure and save some useful time for the programmers who keep messing with the UI issues with IE6. Not only UI but other JavaScript errors, DOM components et cetera. Here is the quick snippet from the IE blog

Starting on or about the third week of April, users still running IE6 or IE7 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 will get will get a notification through Automatic Update about IE8. This rollout will start with a narrow audience and expand over time to the entire user base. On Windows XP and Server 2003, the update will be High-Priority. On Windows Vista and Server 2008 it will be Important.

Surely, it is the time for all of us to celebrate IE6′s death

Cheers!!

There should not be any excuse for us this time for voting. Other developed countries may not need these slogans or push for the citizens to ask them to vote, but in India it becomes the prime issue to ask people to vote. Instead we should decide which leader to be chosen based on the work they do, background they possess most of us just vote for the sake of voting.

Youngsters from the 18 – 23 of age vote as their parents suggest in most of the cities, i may be wrong altogether but seriously this is the fact. They vote parties and not the person. They vote for money and not for the future. I was or still I am not a liberal person but I feel this time we all can make a change. This is the time when India needs a change with the changing world and sutff.

So join hands and let us all vote to the person who is not from the famous party but is famous for his clean background or has the courage to “Change India”

The heading of this post signifies “10 terrorists came by boat” points to the mumbai 26/11 attack in which all the terrorists came by sea and “539 terrorists will come by your vote” means that if you do not cast your vote to a righteous person then all you gonna create is yet another terrorist in the country

Jai Hind !!

This is really shocking for the nation that the honorable Home Minister Mr. P. chidambaram got hit by a shoe in a press conference. Some people take it lightly saying that this is yet another case similar to the one in which US president Bush got hit by two shoes in Iraq during the press conference.

But just give it a thought, that US prez never got hit in his own country by his own country man. Instead it was some other country and it was a protest by citizen of some other country. This is really heart breaking that being a citizen of India and the person is hitting his country’s Home Minister by a show. There are many ways to protest in India, they might be slow impacting but atleast do not disregard the people who lead India. You do not respect them but does that mean you have the right to insult them?

India needs a real change !!

After I wrote the blog entry How to create follow me on twitter image/logo with photoshop on my other techn blog I saw a healthy increase in the twitter queries from google and other search engines. Among them one query which I noticed everyday was as simple as that, “What is the size of twitter display image” and I wondered why don’t people get that ?

Anyways the twitter’s display image has two sizes 73 x 73 px and  48 x 48 px. The one on your homepage i.e. twitter.com/username is the one with 73px. The other 48px one would appear in the time line. For instance my profile’s 73px version is here . So if you open it in the intelligent browser firefox then you will see the size in px written in the title bar. For the timeline picture i have this screenshot, just to suffice you

Hope this bring google queries in the right direction and helps someone :p

Anyways we had a slow start of the day but few of the participants were already there waiting for us to drop in and start the talks, and especially the Internet/WiFi.To tell you the fact, IIT Delhi, sucks in terms of network connection. No one is there to help you out, give out the details for the network even if they agree to provide you. Its more like a typical govt. institute (although i know its all govt. but still IIT is IIT). So whatever the organizer or volunteer reading this blog, please DO NOT CHOOSE IIT, Delhi as the camp’s venue, if your audience want to do live tweeting or live blogging.

After quite a mess we finally arranged the keys for the projector from some guy who was at Boy’s hostel and the camp started. It was already 11 past and were like OMG. So Rohit Srivastwa started with his first talk and i could see from his pace that he is not a normal human among us. Then upon having a chat with him i found that this guy is helping around government organizations for hacking related stuff etc etc. So in short this guy is the real GEM of India and is filled with immense knowledge about networks, hacking techniques and above all how to be safe on internet. Quick advices from him :

• Never ignore https warnings
• Do no use websites which send your password as cleartext when you hit forgot password
• Keep your softwares, web applications, OS updated and fully patched
• Always install a good firewall and a nice Antivirus on your system
• Thinks windows can be a better server if used wisely, cause it would sit quiet , update itself and keep  you calm

Other than this he explained about just everything like, public key, private key. His talk was mainly on “Backtrack” and he explained it quite well and everyone got the answers to their questions. He talked about all security issues and how can your system be exploited for around 2 hours. Yeah he really did and was quite interesting.

And yeah I forgot to mention, this generous fella, Rohit Srivastwa also gave away tshirts of Clubhack . He claims they were the left outs from the clubhack event 2008.

Next we had a talk on Maya Vi and this guy had done a lotsa stuff in Maya Vi software. But two things i dislike about it is that, it has lotsa dependencies and it requires a niche hardware (well probably every 3D modelling software does that ). Was not quite interested in this talk, wasn’t related to me anyhow. Yeah i know i am bad at times

After that we had a guy called Jignesh who explained about kerberos, yet another Network Authentication Security Protocol. Kerberos was designed in MIT university and it means 3-headed dog

Now I cannot explain the whole working cause you did not come to osscamp and you missed it. So if you do not want to miss more talks like this, then be there at OSSCamp Delhi tomorrow. Venue is the same IIT, Delhi and timings are 10am – 6 pm.

Cheers!!

A quick search using the keyword  “php” video results 1 – 20 of about 63

There are two search boxes available. The main search under the top navigation bar redirects you to the main Youtube.com. However the below it searched videos within the EDU channel and are mainly videos from professors and schools. Probably this can help children learn more actively and with interest. But for the young ones who got no job then they have got a reason to sharpen skills to get a better, more stable job.

I use twitter actively and with the handle realin.Well here are few things which i think can be  done using twitter .

1) Social Networking Follow Follow Follow a lot interesting people, or whatever you can think of. You think of a product, be it wordpress, techcrunch, gigaom,digg you find all of them on twitter. So that way you directly know what is happening on their front.

2) Updates about the rest of the world Almost every news channel or media agency is on twitter today. So they flash news everytime they update it on live television or on their websites. So when you are away from your TV and are lazy enuff to scroll through RSS feeds you can rely on twitters.

3) People spread the word Retweet is the other name of fire in the forest. If there is something really big or important, like mumbai attacks in India 26/11, everyone was getting updates on twitter. People do it using the hastags like #mumbai, #FAIL etc

4) Jobs and other business opportunities You are able to meet genuine people over internet around the world using twitter. They definitely are of any use at any time in your professional or social life. Like i am getting married and many event organizers have contacted me using twitter. Other than this once in a month i get a job offer or a freelance work option using twitter. Its like easiest way to outsource work to india now. You do not need to login into any job sites or stuff.

5) You are not bored at all This is the best thing !! With twitter  you are never bored, because somewhere someone is tweeting around when you are feeling bored. So its kinda miniblog + Chat  + Social networking.

I feel twitter is the best thing happened to internet. At first I thought its just like other social networking sites like orkut, myspace, facebook, but guys its really different and you will love it.

Applications i use to access my twitter account

Twhirl -the social software client

Twitterfox – mozilla firefox addon

I am also planning to create one app for myself, lets see when i get time to do so

Cheers!!

So to cut the heredity effect I am Gyming everyday now. The coach says that i have good buil and the base is really solid so it wont take much time for me to squeeze this thing off. But still when he asks me to do AB excercise .. awwww god ..

I have changed my diet, my breakfast is now a glass full mil with some cornflakes, unlike 4 stuffed pranthas with loads of butter which used to be there 2 weeks back.

I have started my excercise with 1200+ mts of walk+running followed by 5mins of cross walker .. and then the normal gyming excercises. Feels good cause i can see the results. Would recommend all the software engineers who code all day sitting right at their chairs and eat lotsa cheese, sweets, and oily food to go ahead and spare some  time for their health

Cheers!!
