Hi,

Here is a chat conversation with an enlightened developer:

me: hi, firstname is not connected to the network. Can you send me her MAC address.
him:ok, sure... it is "firstname.lastname" <<<<<<<<<
me: Noooo.. I mean physical address...
him: I don't know where she stays... Wait, let me ask her... <<< This is a killer

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', '&#2350;&#2352;&#2366;&#2336;&#2368;'),


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,

Above jokes were taken from: http://archive.salon.com/21st/chal/1998/02/10chal2.html




Those jokes remind me of:


There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire become a great writer.

When asked to define “great” he said, “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!”

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.




WINDOWS XP ERROR MESSAGES


This one is cool:


A few of the new error messages that were taken under consideration during the development of the Windows XP operating system...

• Smash forehead on keyboard to continue.

• Press any key to continue or any other key to quit.

• BREAKFAST.SYS halted... Cereal port not responding.

• Close your eyes and press escape three times.

• File not found. Should I fake it? (Y/N)

• Runtime Error 6D at 417A:32CF: Incompetent User.


• Enter any 11-digit prime number to continue.

• Bad command or file name! Go stand in the corner.

• Windows message: "Error saving file! Format drive now? (Y/Y)"

• Windows VirusScan 1.0 - "Windows found: Remove it? (Y/N)"

Hi there,

Very busy schedule since last few days as was busy in hand over of tasks as I am leaving my old organization.

Currently, I am planning to write complete howtos / guide about "Security Assessment / Security Audit" if I could manage some time.

This was just to ping again.

More to come,

Hi All,

I have just modified a post: A Free Headache! & Linux jokes / Linux Windows Jokes

after a users entry


Thanks,


Aniruddha

It was great to be a proud Indian. Yes It was. That's not a mistake, it's the exact feeling that I (Yesterdays Indian) am going through currently.

I was really very proud for my nation's integration, unity in diversity, cultural mix and on and on. That feeling got b]fxxxd up since the day every insecure leader from northern part of my yesterday's nation started vomiting venom against one person from my region for speaking about the suppression that they are forcing us upon since last sixty or more years.

Am I being a regionalist screwed opinion person? Am I feeling very insecure by the tactics played by those Northerners from UP,Bihar,Delhi etc (think this word as a badword henceforth.)? May be, Yes. That's the way a social animal thinks. I will try to be in a group, live together, help each other and be merry. And when some other group tries to confront my group I will show my groupism, my loyalty to the group (read: society, region, religion, nationality etc). Till yesterday, the Nation of India was the group for me... and now these guys have limited myself to the group of Maharashtra.

Still, I am very proud in being that. Why? again, a social animal has to protect his group and his group's interests...
What I can foresee now is Raj Thackeray, the one who is speaking about the suppression done by those Northerners (read: bad word) is being taken to the states of law and order (The same northern states which keep on troubling other states, who don't have
proper infrastructure, whose leaders live on fodder and crimes) for further investigation and some so called nationalist hurts / kills my group member leaving no other choice for me and my other fellow group members to revert back in extreme responses.

What's achieved?
A nationalist has already converted to a regionalist.
A nation shattered in pieces.
A civil war as a backlash to sixty years suppression.With a trigger of a hurt / killed Raj Thackeray which I would not want.

And for whom?
For those screwed up northerner leader's united speeches instead of being in different parties such as (Congress, BJP,RJD,Samajwadi etc)
For those criminals who are in Ministries?
For those blind people who keep on sending these criminals to parliament? (BTW they have more population so as in democracy most of the members of parliament are involved in one or the other crime.)
For those leaders who are supporting the great cause of Indian divide since more than half of century?
For those states who are up and above all in criminal activities?
For the same state of Delhi, which is currently being called as "Rape Capital of India!"
For those criminals who keep law and order?
For those states where Asian Human Rights commission states that election's are being fought between criminals?


No way... I am not going to suffer for their decisions forced on me nor on my group!
If, by any way they try to force their culture on my group, I will be the first to resist.
These guys have highest criminal records in their states, highest undemocratic values in their hearts, highly appreciated castism in their societies. These ass holes can not enjoy the real freedom because of the fear of being killed by a dacoit or busineess opponent or political opponent. And now they are creating their political and cultural hubs in my state! In my society. I really do not want it to happen.
I am not just saying that... I will be against those actions.

Why it is happening against Maharashtra at this point of time?
Because it can not be done in any southern state which is occupied by proud and civilized people who vibrantly defend themselves.

Then why this is not happening against southerners in Maharashtra?
They are proud for their culture and stick to that, but they do not indulge in creating political and criminal hubs.


If you are a Northerner and do not agree with that follow this:

1) Ask your wife / sister to go for a walk in late evening (let alone midnight).
2) Read criminal statistics.
3) Read statistics about population
4) Try to find out how you contribute to the nation, and don't forget to check out the corruption history of India.
Here I am trying to say: We do contribute your corrupt foddered mindless leaders.
(I added that line, so that you can understand)
5) Be civilized. And You will surely agree!


By the way, who are speaking against Maharashtra in Maharashtra are really enjoying the Marathi spirit of democracy.
Keep it up Jaya, company and similar nuts...

Please, don't try to find any Marathi words in this message... It's the spirit of the message.

Majhya Marathichi bolu kavatuke, amritatehi paija jinke, aisi akshare rasike milavin - Sant Dnyaneshwara.



Thanks for bearing with me, but as I've said earlier I am not going to bear all those Northerners. I expect, so would you!

Edit after Nityanand's Comment

Nityanand's first point: Who is migrant?

Yes, I am migrant in some sense. But, do I try to create a political lobby in your home state / city / country?
I might create cultural group or participate in. Have you heard of any such group in Maharashtra which keeps Northerner's culture alive? (But, there are some groups who try to show their existence and power.) I don't want that they should forget their culture when they are here. I just don't want them to mess up with mine. I want them to learn our lifestyle. Although I do not want them to be strictly following my culture. They should respect my culture and they should forget being outsiders. But they just won't, they will bring Mayawati, Amarsingh(Great criticizer of Shahid Jawan from police forces), Mulayam Singh(Same who wanted to donate Rs. 2000 Crore to pakistan) here.
Just get Off!

Nityanand's second point: Jobs in railways... etc

1) It is not that Marathi people do not have enough talent to crack IAS,IFS,IPS etc but people already sitting their might be biased.
2) Railway administrative divisions are regional
3) Marathi people are ready to leave these jobs if they can get another.
4) Most of Railway infrastructure is in nor

Considering above points, I think:
We can not get what ought to be my right.
Other option remains:
Dont let the India have states based on language. If you do, follow it completely. If you don't always be an unbiased Indian.

Hope, that clears my point

Edit after Murugans's Comment Starts Here His comment is in italics and my answers are in bold


Thakre har kisi se takrata hai isliye usse Takre kehna hi behtar hai..

It's a pun... ;)


Aur haan,
Agar Hindustan me rehna hai to Jai Hind bolo..


There are a lot of people who are against "Jai Hind!" and "Vande Mataram!"
Hindustan has got Most of revolutionaries, social reformers, freedom fighters form these states:
Maharashtra, Bengal, Punjab, then Madras Province.
... In that order!!


Warna Thakre toh kya uske sath mila hua sare Maharashtrians ko Bangladesh bhej denge bina Passport aur Visa ke, phir waha jake bolte rehna Jai Maharashtra.


These kind of statements force me to be a Marathi before an Indian. It forces me to say that, let us see who the hell in the world moves me from my home. I (as a Marathi) am the one who contributes the most for GDP (ref rbi documents).
Reminder: Maharashtra implies Mahan Rashtra.
You can not bait us on anything. You don't have the courage to lose the contributions we are making nor you have the capability to do what you are saying.
Side note: You will not be able to come to Maharashtra if you, expel us. You will require a visa and you will not get that because of pending applications.

Aakir mauka hai sochlo phir kehne se pehle warna 100Crore k Hindustanion k beechme 9.6Crore k Maharashtrian kuch bhi nahi hai, Aur wo tumhara Raj Thakre Ya Takre woh toh dikhayi bhi nahi dega itne bheed me..

That's what I was talking about... These guys have always misinterpreted the democracy. What they only know is about what Mobs keep on doing. Majority wins in the democracy, and majority should have the responsibility. Again, the states like Maharshtra, Tamil Nadu and Gujrath give the most to the nation and what they get back is a Nidhi which is very less than their contributions. When farmers in Maharshtra, Andhra, Tamil Nadu die the central govt always denies proper attention. Because, it is flooded with the MPs from highly populated states.
"In fact, current statistics show that some 23.2 per cent of members of parliament in India have criminal investigations or cases pending against them. The forthcoming state election in Uttar Pradesh is a case in point. An estimated 35 per cent of candidates have trials and cases pending against them. The charges include rape, armed robbery and murder." - Taken from:
Asian Human Rights Commission's site.

Finally:
Helooo... Wake Up!! You don't have the authority, power, courage and valor to do that.


Note: This condition is applicable to only those Maharashtrians jo bolta Maharashtra sirf unka hai baki chale jao karke, remaining All Indians in Maharashtra will be safe..

Regards,
Murugan Nadar



Thanks for sparing...
BTW: Please, do not listen / read other's interpretation about Raj Thackray's speeches.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy Along the path, not at the end!

Thats it fellows, the mail ends there. Hope, you may have found interesting / useful.

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...
