"W"

The letter 'W' is pronounced as 'double U' but it looks like 'double V' i.e. two 'V's together!


VVhy so?


note: In 'VVhy so?', there is no 'W' but two 'V's - did you notice by yourself? :)

The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ!

At the very first glance this book's title interested me, intrigued me more to read and know about Christ - A Great Reformer, Teacher and Guardian!

From the preface, I understood the content is not something against Christianity, but gives some insight into the unknown period of Jesus - 20s to 30 ages.

Once South Africa's president quoted this in a meeting at India (in year 2010): You gave Gandhi to us, we gave you back Mahatma.
That is South Africa gave the exposure, experience and situations for changing an individual, Gandhi, to Mahatma.

In the same lines I became curious to know how the child become a Christ, and which in turn made a very strong religion Christianity!

No offense meant in my above comments - if any one feel so. Its just my thought!

Project Management Tool (Collaborator)

This is a good Project Management Tool I have seen so far.

It also has a vast list of extensions to plugin with other components, like Documentation (wiki, twiki etc), Bug trackers (Bugzilla, Trac etc), Calender func for Time tracking, Repositories (Mercurial, GIT, SVN etc), Diff viewer for the code, Code reviewing components etc.

Just have this in your env, you dont need to jump around multiple links for collaborating between PM to Dev to QA to Customer Support team.

Object.create - only GC

A must read for JS developers... I have to go back to my code before and need to see the usage of "hasOwnProperty" and evaluate it...

However I noticed the "Object.create" function does not work in IE6, FF3.6.8 and Opera 10.6 browsers...
But it works in Google Chrome 5

I did not check with the other versions of IE, FF & Opera...

Seems the author has given code exclusively for GC! ;)

Google Follow Finder - find Tweeters

I dint expect Google would release such product - this suggests tweeps (People tweeting) for you or any related person.

There are many such products/apps available in net for the same purpose, however Google's product is really fast - proved themselves again. However not sure about the relevancy of recommendation - none of the similar products published it yet.

Personally I thought BUZZ is released to take over Twitter - but here Google seems to be supporting Twitter.
Sounds like Google is trying to make its presence everywhere - not just to its product or feature.

Did anyone find any such app for BUZZ? If so let me know.

The Immortals of Meluha

Neelkantan - One with Blue Throat!

A story neatly woven with historic incidents and with the notes made by historians. I loved the way the sequences were built. Few cases I was surprised whether the Meluha (Indus Valley) Civilisation were soo advanced in Science and way of Living.

Below are few sentences that reverberated in my mind - also few and made me feel proud:

• Lord Neelakanta - Lord Shiva - A simple man turned into Legend & Immortal.
• Lord Manu came from "Sangam tamil" (South India), who is the progenitor of Lord Ram.
• Pandit a name derived from Pandya - A South Indian Kingdom.
• Somras - Curator of Ageing. May be this is the reason why (few) people lived long in good old days.
• Who said Asuras were evil - they are just different people.
• Duality - Both has to exist in the world, otherwise it will implode

It is a compelling read for anyone who wants to know about Lord Shiva and why he is meant as "Destroyer". He is not just built with muscles but brains as well! 

Amish talks about the energy of the world, which is controlled by Shiva and Vishnu - while Brahma is the one to created/found the knowledge of it.

Two more books are to follow - Eagerly awaiting to read them. Their working titles are:

Book 2: ‘The Secret of the Nagas’
Book 3: ‘Shiva’s Tandav’

Spring Roo

Am I not upto date with Java growth?!?!

Spring Roo is way ahead on leveraging the power of Java to help the Java developers in building code.

IDE were the first to get the Productivity increase; Roo seems to be the next step - It still runs insider (&| outside) IDE.

Need to get my hands dirty with this tool... Seems to be interesting...

Fast new windows - Gmail

Interesting feature... dint know about this till date - huh...

I used to do 'save now' then search another email or content, come back to 'draft' and start from where i left...
I did that even today couple of hours back...

This feature is great!
Now I know why I dont like Yahoo! or AOL mail layout - they are more uglier with Ads all over :(

Small things you may not know about Javascript

Interesting collection for JS codes - more intuitive...

I liked the hints for 'variable conversion', 'replace()' and 'createDocumentFragment'. However the interesting part was the mechanisms JS version need to be detected...

The surprising part is the 'trimLeft' (may be 'trimRight' as well) is introduced in JS 1.8.1 version only!

Even more surprising part is only Firefox has browsers to support all the JS versions upto date. Every other browser lags way behind Firefox including GoogleChrome and IE8. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Versions

- I am a fan of FF! :)

Web Growing into Past

Happened to land on this page, when searching something else.

I wanted to check the recency of the content and found the content was created back in "Aug 03 1936"! The period of President Roosevelt.

So the web is not just growing into the Future but also into the Past!

PS: Will we get such growth for Indian content? It would be wonderful to browse through the past from future.

Movement of employees in this Financial crunch

Interesting Analysis...

This graph shows where the employees of banks or financial institutions landed when they went bankrupt or acquired.

Should I check the same for Vendio ;)

PS: I wonder is the graph created in this blog is manual (using paint etc) or is this a tool... The waves look cool...

The Man from Earth

Nice movie...

The movie is shot in a single room with bunch of ppl conversing about a 'Cave Man'...

Watching the movie was like reading a conversation in book. These conversations kindle your thoughts about how life is.

. Do you remember what you did same day last year?
. How well will you remember your parents at the end of your age or after 100 yrs (if you are alive)?
. Who is Jesus Christ?
. What is the link between Buddha and Jesus.. (It is Buddha and not Buda...)
. How many women in one life?
. How much can you carry around in your life?


Great thoughts... Add this movie to your 'must-watch' list...

Cheers...
