Here is one web server who is depressed and cries out on a
Funny 404 Page .. Have a look at it… And come back to reading me…
Read the whole matter. Would take a few mins.. But its really depressed
What in the world will happen if computers become lazy.. and not do work..
Take the case of in an Operation Theatre…. the computer dozes off or is surfing the internet for entertainment instead of working 
. Wonder how the Doctor feel when he has a patient with a butt-opened-up feel when he gets ..
“shoo.. Off.. Later.. i m not feeling okay now !..” from the computer..
Will that be a humourous situation ? Or will it be lethal.. But my Spider Sense.. ooph !. no.. my “computer-humour” sense tells me that we are gonna see such things soon.. Time will tell..
This is quite an old tool on the internet for now.. But there are some new features in
Google Maps that are worth admiring.. This post includes one such a feature..
Ability to search for locations inside what is the viewing area.
This as shown below allows me to localize my search.. (So i zoom into a country or a continent and then search.. which gives me localized searches). I tried to search globally by zooming out to a level where i can see the map. but It some how fails to do it.. This needs improvement.
This Pic is showing only the location searches for North America..
And this pic is showing Location searches returned in Asia (Japan)
Just felt this is a feature to be exploited.. just kidding… to be used.. But there are definitely areas of improvement as stated in the post.
Anyway.. Hats off to Google !..
This week end was what i would say “crowdy”.
I paid a visit to Pragati Maidan hosting the IITF (India International Trade Fair).. Home to almost every thing (atleast i would say that :p). But this time i was visiting for looking at computers stuff only !.. The whole time i was pushed.. showed.. and i have been nothing but decent enough to only walk if i had space.. instead of creating one..
So i got out of the autorickshaw to wonder how to even enter this hude grounds where some lakhs of people r really there.. I was too shy to ask anyone and was trying to eaves drop into other’s conversations who got here before me.. about my chances to get into Trade fair today.. and come back out alive.
So i found out a line.. with some fifty odd people standing in a self-formed-kinda-line and i enqueued myself. Waited there for fifteen mins and the line didnot move ahead… Now i was eaves dropping on others .. waiting for the line to move ahead.. thinking on how to go into trade fair.. all at the same time. So today’s task has to be – “Mission : Enter & rendezvous tradefair“.
This time my stupid habit to over hear what others say.. worked again.. and i got to know about another location where i obtained the ticket.. really nice.. really neat.. no fights required.. . Then the next objective was to get into those big gates guarded by hundreds of suspicious police man.. though i am nothing but “Yet-another-Software-proffesional”. My luck turned out to be well and the only line that went in was the one i was standing in..
The immediate task was to find where the target was located. viz. Computers. Gadgets.. I ended up going in rounds .. Visited some stupid Cosmetics Hall.. some Agriculture hall and ended up in the hall i was looking for. There was this Intel Core 2 Duo stall i thought i could lay hands on some games on . But some naughty kids were already on their way for that. I wished i could hve given a fight. but i thought i could atleast find a PS3 or XBox console in some other stall.. I was wrong.. I couldnt find many computer’s related stalls other than “Intex”… I did not know that they made mobile phones.
It was a dissapointment.. I failed to locate what i came for. And when i found it.. I found that there was a scarcity.. I expected some new gadgets and found none.. Rather then i came to understand that.. It was a trade fair.. not a tech fair.. I entered a Hall for Home Applicances..
Ive changed.. earlier at the same Trade Fair i expected something else.. now.. i am expecting computers.. at the same fair.. For me and a couple others like me.. Computers have become a part of Home appliances.. I could do without a Wet Grinder.. but not without a computer . There we have it.. I will be waiting.. desperately for a tech fair here at NCR.. Are you ?
Sometimes.. I just loose it.. when some one says something i never expect out of them.. The next moment i just stand choked to hell and would like to get out of there….Today i was out in a local market to get a document faxed.
I found out the most silent shop of the blog which also happens to be a PCO; I went in to enquire if there was a FAX sending facility there and the conversation happens to be something like this..
Me: Hi.. Is there a Fax machine here ??
TheShopGuy : ….what ? . huh.. Time Machine ?? .oh.. No..
Me (me Thinking ): Awww !.. What the @#$@# !
Me: oh.. no problem..
Either i got hit with DejaVu.. or this guy might have watched some old fictious movie which has the hero travelling time on a machine.. god knows.. but it had me spinning for a moment. ….Wait… What if there was a timemachine and if i were not aware of this ?. Oh my… I am being left behind by technology.. But i try to keep myself updated with the latest computer.. geeky posts/feeds/magz on the web.. But i couldnt find any TimeMachine in there.. Hell ya .. i suppose it is just me. or the guy is really drunk !..
I am enjoying time.. Wont want to run ahead of it either .. Atleast for now .
I generally try to figure out wierd things.. like today i was wondering how much time i can go without talking to any one… The only way i could do something like this could be is to take a walk.. coz the others choices are always involving me with conversations with strangers i dont care to talk to …Like if i choose to take a vehicle.. i entangle myself and get lost in the millions of left’s and right turns of this city.. so i need to “talk” to some stranger who willingly/or not-so-willingly offers help and gives me directions..
So no driving.. for sometime
Or if i take a bus.. I would need to get my fare charged by the bus conductor who is looking for innocent souls to pack them into the already water-packed containers(buses).. no buses either
The Other alternative is going out with friends.. Who many a time rnt interested in somethings i do . so out of Question !.
So the solution had to be in the walk where in i am not to be disturbed by any individual.. I wanted to mobile blog from my mobile phone so i am searching for the same. I quite feel like writing as my creative ideas result from real live instances from people or not-so-real-life imaginary things that i see.. Maybe its my mind doing the tricks.. Sometimes it does happen. I just am waiting for the day my computer/robot sitting at home handles all these things for me.. I wish the technology would come/be-adopted faster in india.
As in the first case i can use my ancient mobile phone to automatically inform if its the left or right.. to guide me to my destination. There are some very good websites which already provide quite the information.. Some of them are listed here
So i can take my scooter for drives and never get lost. or maybe get alerted when lost
And if i wanted to take a bus i wish i could e-charge my fare and get over the hurdle of passengers . of them the most unlucky to be is me . As it always happens u stand beside a seat for such a long time waiting for the guy to getup.. it never happens. But when i shift over to another seat-side for standing.. this guy gets up and i loose the seat. Thats the height of frustration experienced by and lot more others here in India. Neverthless it is a lot of fun to have all this.. I just dont feel like running away from all this to some spic ‘n’ span clean country.. and loose my values for sometime..
So the walk wasn’t bad.. it gave me new understandings… new view to the whole society.. (blah.. blah .. blah).. it was a good exercise which made me feel dead tired.. But i will definitely do more walking now..
