Hi,

Since last few days I am working on development of a SVN administration web application. I just did not post about it; as soon as I started the work. Because, I thought, I may not be able to complete it.

But, after reaching some milestones I became sure that I will be able to deliver following targeted features:

1) MySQL and LDAP authentication
2) Repository creation
3) Repository access control
4) Profile / Group based access control for the administration tool itself.
5) Ability to give access to users / groups to certain hooks too.
6) Hook / Plug-in based approach to connect to other tools.
7) The differentiators : "The tool will be connected to the best tools / applications available"


What I mean to say by the seventh feature is:
i) Won't reinvent the wheel
ii) Won't try to push everything in this tool (eg: bug tracking, repo browser etc.)
iii) Will try to develop connectors to other great tools in respective fields. A few in mind, right now are: (BugZilla, WebSVN, mpysvnstats, testlink etc)


And in bonus, this tool will be released in with General Public License or LGPL.

I hope, a lot of admins will love it.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,


I found this entry in my yahoo notepad:


June 30 2008
Forget about the details of whatever you're thinking about or working on today -- you can take care of them later! It's a good time for you to try to get ahead with some grand scheme that's been a dream.

I was very glad to read it after a while, I thought you would like it too!

Hi

I've just completed translating WebSVN in Marathi.

I hope, developers at WebSVN will incorporate the translation in their next release.
To add marathi support in your WebSVN installation please, follow these steps:
Download this file:
http://aniruddhas.com/tutorials/marathi.txt
move it to your websvn installation as:
eg:
mv marathi.txt WebSvn-2.2.1/languages/marathi.php

add following line in WebSvn-2.2.1/languages/languages.php
in the array section, at your fav. sort spot.

'mr' => array('marathi', 'Marathi', 'मराठी'),


That's it, it starts showing marathi menu.

I am going to translate in Hindi also, when I find some time ;)
Thats all for now,

TC

Hi There,

Sorry for the too Heavy subject line, but I thought It would be great if I post my mail sent to my colleagues to share my feelings after completion of my year at Avi Electronics & Networks; So, that it may give a brief idea of an employees feeling for those who might be interested such as: HR guys, employers etc.

Some of the things in the mail apply to all the organizations out there and some things apply specifically to Avi Electronics & Networks.

So without further ado, here is the mail:




Subject: Enjoying Avi!





Dear All,

I am very glad to say that, I just completed my year being in the family of Avi. On this occasion I would like to share my feelings with you all. There are a lot of things I gained and lost on personal accounts in this period.

Lost? Yes, Lost! Such as, since my childhood I always liked to speak, to be at podium just to say something in public. Since the day my professional career started I just missed that thing which started pinching and increasing my depression on these sides. But, when I joined Avi, I've got many chances to deliver presentations, trainings etc and the depression is lost!

It's not that there are only negative things I've lost, I've lost the ability to give the quality time to the friends (Yes, friends. Not acquaintances) from my earlier organizations. Maybe, I can not join the full time courses now etc. I don't understand how can I restrain myself from traveling around and making joy trips or having trek exertions. I don’t understand how can I work on things which I don’t feel like are technologies in first place! Many times, I had to work on things which I thought were not challenging or uninteresting which later turned out to be like experiences that will improve you whether you like it or not!

But, the gains… they are important too. As usual (a sentence which has lost its meaning because of abundant usage, but try to correlate with that.): I have got new friends!

I have got a more understanding of the wider picture of I.T. infrastructure, a variety of different devices which were a novelty for me in past. I got to learn new things (One more overused statement). I got to travel those places in India which otherwise I would have been incapable of or uninterested of. I also got in touch with great many people with altogether different virtues, moods, personalities and views. The most amazing thing was to know that how people from different professions, territories, economical slabs or any other discriminations vary in thinking.

In all, it was a year of happening, change, unpredictability, learning and enrichment. The things I always sought for... personally and in profession.

Also, I may have hurt or helped you a lot many times in those days (don’t try to weigh though). But hey... isn’t it the bedrock of relationships? I hope, to build on that…

Thanks for bearing with me guys,

I hope, we will keep on bearing each other anyhow, anyways, forever...



Yours,




Aniruddha

Hi All,

I was reading about Large Hadron Collider here and found some very good pictures of the Large Hydrogen Collider (LHC) here. What I found was some souls with lost minds were entering very discouraging comments.

Here was my reply:







-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Guys,

What I was reading about was a scientific experiment, an element of human curiosity backed up by intelligence and information to form a base of knowledge in a field we have never gone. What I did expect, from the comments WAS a lot of support (at least moral if not material) to the scientists who have devoted a lot of things for the project to find things unknown to us.

And here it goes:

"religion.. christinity.. god (g small).. silly experiment"

I do not know why these guys are boosting the Devil (D capital) of darkness!

Wake up... Open your eyes... Open Your Minds..







-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mediocratic minds have always killed the best,best philosophies, best technologies, and best men! If you think you are right and are opposing minority, think twice or you will extinguish one more great thing before its birth!
-----------------------------------------------------------------



I request comments on this...

It may seem very idiotic if I say the spectacular place I visited was my own terrace!
It was after a long while I could get a fresh breath of air in an early morning enchanted with the glorious seven horses lead chariot of the sun.
It was just an amazing view, I could not expect it to be so near to me and still be unavailable only because of my ignorance. I was thinking about it and a flash lit my heart with a great spirit of the thought, "Beauty is in the eyes of Beholder!" and since then, every place I visit is spectacular!

PS: One of my friends wanted me to write about a spectacular place I visited in hundred words and I wrote the above.

I was going through a Book "Sixth Commandment" by "Lawrence Sanders"
and I came to read a beautiful piece of Paragraph which shows a wordmaster best at his job!

Using his wand he may have arranged a bunch of words to give a sound impact on the readers.

Here it goes,

"I think smoke is beautiful, weightless and shapeless. It almost appears as deceptively powerless as the person releasing it, yet it comes from within and rises above us all."

To make a pun I thought, he should have added a few words more : "... as does the smoker!"


To speak about the novel, the plot is great but it could not grip me enough to stick on to it to finish with excitement. Reason, many times the author has went to add too much "Massalla" and has given more importance to the spices than the food / the stuff.
