Failures

"Many of life"s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."

Thomas A. Edison

Captain is Back!!

A ship solemnly drops coffins overboard, waiting for the sea to reclaim its own. Bobbing on water a while before they sink, the coffins are a macabre sight. Alighting on one, the black bird curiously hammers its beak repeatedly, a woodpecker-like rat-a-tat. Rat-a-tat. And then, rat-a-boom, it suddenly explodes in a flurry of feathers and gunpowder.
An arm peeks out of a hole in the coffin, periscoping around with a pistol in case of sudden danger. The wood makes way for a disheveled Johnny Depp. As he breaks off a skeletal leg from his deceased coffin-mate (thankfully off-screen) a rush of gleeful thrill runs through the audience: Captain Jack Sparrow is back.
Awesome!!
Caught Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man''s Chest on the weekend..i would say it is awesome if you can handle some really ugly pirates....devy jones...the black pearl...the flying dutchman..and captain jack sparrow.......this one should never be missed!!

Blocked!!

This is strange...honestly i failed in understanding this....A few days after seven blasts on Mumbai's suburban trains killed about 200 people, the telecom department directed all the 150 operational Internet Service Providers to block 18 Web sites, citing an increase in hate messages on the Internet.
well...there are other ways to communicate or spread hate messages....why the blogs?!

and yes...they haven't blocked the posting from Blogger.com...they blocked blogspot.!!??

10K

Cant believe this piece of machine on two wheels completed 10 tousand kms on road today!..it feels like yesterday i was on a rickshaw slowly moving towards the showroom to buy it. Time surely flies!! well...after almost 10 months and countless hours and as i mentioned 10K kms on road it still raises hell on the black tarmac! This surely calls for a celebration!!will do that!!

Black?!

So Far...So Good

Completed 4 months here in Copal!!well.....looking at my career history it will be interesting to see what happens in next two months....generally something big happens....changes..improvements..etc..etc!! But after 4 months ....and an average of 10+ hours per day and 2 well done freaky projects.....it looks good so far. Looking forward to coming months....but really...that average of 10+ never looks like coming down!!

.NET Framework 3.0

WinFX is now Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0! The good news is that the It combines the power of .NET Framework 2.0 with new technologies for building applications that have a visually compelling user experience, seamless communication across technology boundaries, and support for a wide range of business processes. Microsoft plans to ship .NET Framework 3.0 as part of Windows Vista. At the same time, Microsoft will make .NET Framework available for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. There are new components as part of the System namspace, WPF, WF, WCF, and CardSpace.

WPF-Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly code-named "Avalon")
WCF-Windows Communication Foundation (formerly code-named "Indigo")
WF -Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
Windows CardSpace (formerly code-named "InfoCard")

.NET Framework 3.0 adds new technologies to the .NET Framework 2.0, which makes the .NET Framework 3.0 a superset of the .NET Framework 2.0. We can think of .NET Framework 3.0 as an "additive" release to the .NET Framework 2.0, as contrasted with a generational release where software is revised across the board. (For example, the .NET Framework 2.0 was a generational release over the .NET Framework 1.0.)

cant wait to try it out....!!and i have heard that Windows CardSpace is really freaky!!

Years

Sometime you feel that you have skipped quite a many years in between..or you lost those years somewhere.....!!thats how i felt when i met an old friend ...friend from my school days....and i met him for the first time after school. Was one of my best buddies...but somehow down the lane lost touch...!!But when i met him.....never felt like am talking to him after almost 10 years...!!felt like somebody fast forwarded the time in between!!......we talked the way we used to talk at that time.....had few pints..ok quite a few pints ..and caught the game of england vs portugal in a pub. ..(worst way of crashing out man!!penalty shootouts!!)enjoyed the time.........may be those years were actually not lost!!...I dont know....seriously!!
