New look for the new year

WordPress has included this theme which you are currently seeing in my blog. This theme was designed for Drupal, which is a content management system. I had worked on drupal a couple of months ago and had liked the themes of drupal, hence could not resist trying it in my wordpress blog. I think it looks fabulous especially the part of the header where the gradient gets a slight burn towards the bottom and the post banner sticking out in the header. Wonderful simplistic design, i must say. I am thinking of purchsing a domain just for the sake of tweaking the CSS and to make my own themes because this free hosted version of wordpress has had my hands tied alongwith restricting scripts to be included in the posts.

PS: I hope wordpress includes more 3 column fluid layout. The ones present are okay but the design element is not communicated more creatively in any of them.

Wish you all a merry christmas and a very hapy new year!!

Finally, I would like your opinions on this theme 🙂

Much ado about Blogging

It seems like a year has passes by since I wrote my last post although its only more than a week. I am keeping the policy if “one week one post” solely because I don’t find much time to blog nor read the lethargic amount of information which gets spread out every day on the web. To lessen down the burden of searching for the content about the topics of interest and getting updated I just read the blogs of the topics I choose and to further reduce the amount of time taken to visit each blog I have subscribed to their feeds through my Google Reader. The collection has risen to about 50 feeds! Now that’s one more hectic thing to read the number of pending posts. Each time I login to Google reader I get a 100 new posts screaming to be read. The good thing about the reader is Google has recently introduced the “mark all as read” which earlier had to be done via a greasemonkey script. Now that’s what I call smart reading!!

I wonder if there’s a utility for Microsoft word so that I can directly post from MS word. Blogspot has this utility which worked very smoothly for me and I used to enjoy it since it makes my task easier by posting it to my blog and also saving the copy of my article to my local drive while providing the full features for editing text which isn’t available in wordpress currently.

Starting a brand new season

I am ending the long fruitful or rather not so fruitful season with Blogger..

coz it has invited not many visitors as I had expected..

and I am disappointed with this system for

not providing many utilities which are must

for a serious minded blogger.

So moving on with my own personal blog and knowlegde management zone

at a new scale and level ..

Wish to see your footprints out there… so long !!!

Diving deep in SOA

I am working currently on the service oriented architecture implementation in JAVA with the newly launched web service pack JWSDP 2.0 by Sun Microsystems which include working on the different api’s like JAXP, JAXM, JAXR, JAX-RPC, JAXB and finally the leader of all JAX-WS. Its a sophisticated pack complete with the set of tools to assist in any kind of requirements for handling a web service for any organisation. The research work on this field has been delegated amongst me and my team mates and I in particular am currently dealing with the implementation issues for JAXB which is a supreme framework for generation of classe from XML schemas and XML parsing alongwith XSD or DTD validations. It moves over the concept of XML parsing as has been maintained all this long by legacy parsers like SAX and DOM altogeher to new heights. The mainf feature I am completely impressed is the XML bindings given through the means of XSD for implementing customizations in the generated classes. The main analogy of using JAXB is to enable the applications which hold XML databases to the Object Oriented Principles and gain the power of programatically feeding and storing information retaining the security of the schema through objects which are automatically generated by JAXB.

Saints from Hell

I am writing this post for the first time from my company. And I am not here due to some deadlines or pleasure to work in late hours. Its because of the blood hounds who tamper and play with people’s life by putting the innocent souls to rest by means of keeping bombs in the same comparments which were meant for them to reach their destination with a dream in their eyes of fullfilling the wishes of their families after returning from their work. The rascals causing such obstruction will never give up their pathetic ventures in making a life out of others. I just made sure that my freinds and family members are safe and sound and am feeling relaxed. But as I step into the shoes of those who are struck with tragedies, life seems bitter than watching death come nearby. I fail to understand the underlying cause of such barbarism, the misery of blood for blood, the never subsiding nature of human needs all to add in to the upbringing pathos. God! please take my life away or stop making me watch people do such henious crimes. It isnt pretty in any sense!!

Lost in Translation

Sometimes there’s a particular phase in your life which makes you think “Aw, C’mon which way am I supposed to go now? I am clueless”.I think I am going through the same phase and particularly when it comes into introspection about my career. I am absolutely clueless about the path I have to choose from hereon to reach the uncanny destination which I seem to perceive every now and then. The destination to be the perfectionist and attain expertise in whatever fragment of an arena I have ever dwelt upon till now.

Its unattainable yet believing it to be happening somewhere along the span ignites the deep lying dormat excitement of doing the work in the right spirit now.Maybe or maybe not I might be able to perceive it into reality at all but for the present the goal seem to be lost amongst hefty demands of the brain which make me succumb to the mere thought of losing to the paradigms defined for a human feat.

Its possible says the heart and the adrenalin gushes up in the blood to make every moment come alive in the upbringing of the thought process and the mind in the moment starts to reel and the soul finally get lost in translating these different predicament which I have to realize in this short span. God help me!!

Back with a Bang

Finally, yes finally i am back with a bang!!!
This seems so exciting to make a comeback so loud and clear that it feels like immortality for me. Yes this is the real world for me even though virtual. I feel all the heritage of the past run through by my skin, like some one close me coming by my ear and saying “i was waiting for you all these years and now you are hear my dear”.

So what does it all mean?
It only means I have regained my original form and now ready to take on some action. Being the chosen one aint that easy you see. Haha. Good joke. It feels so energetic that I cant come below of thinking like a superhero coz the powers are like ounces of blood that a shark far away from the source can smell and come in search of it, just like a nomadic seeing an oasis in a desert comes for it thinking his thrist will drift away!! With all these great powers, come great responsibilities. Who am I …. I am the chosen one… meant to take over the world in a few moments from now .. and the countdown begins here…. 10.9.8…………… hahahaha

Exclusive : Coming back in form, Nitin has gone insane, maybe some evil forces have prevailed in him while he was fighting for survival. Age no bar, here he goes now again….. aar ya paar….

Coming Soon : Nitin goes in the boom zone….. watch out for his antics.

Goodbye for three months!!

As I am going to start my training programme at L&T Infotech Ltd. Mahape I will have to stay in their accomodation for 3 months which happens to be the duration of the training since it would be impossible for me to travel. The training schedule is 12 hours per day and 6 days per week and it takes almost 4-5 hours to travel in a day to reach the training center from my residence. Since we don’t have access to the net I wont be able to post in my blog atleast for 3 months. So long then….

Host Name Resolution

I wonder why havent the mobile companies come up with a scheme which I would prefer calling HNS or the “Host Name Server”. I am thinking it in terms of the DNS or the “Domain Name Server” which is an integral part now in the world wide web without which it would be literally impossible for us to remember the address of a number of sites as they would have to be accessed with their IP address and not as something like “www.yahoo.com”. So why not apply the same in case of mobiles?For any person, names are the most easiest to remember than a huge list of numbers. Given a minutes and 10 mobile numbers and 10 names a person , without doubt, that person would remember atleast 5 names and not a single number. Its a universal phenomenon and I am surprised as to why the mobile manufacturing companies havent traversed this path.

With an implementation of the concept as an HNS each person round the globe would have a particular ID and no matter which mobile piece he uses his ID would safely be stored in a central server due to which the problems arising in updating the numbers of a person on event of a new card would, for the better, be avoided. Now one problem which can be faced, is the existence of a large number of brands. But according to me several phone numbers can be alloted to the persons ID as we have multiple landline numbers existing for the same address.

So for dialing a person, one has to enter only the person’s ID and the HNS would have all the mobile numbers which are currently being used by the person being called. The HNS would resolve the numbers and if one mobile cannot be reached or say, is out of usage the other mobile would be tried by the HNS. In this way the person calling wont have to dial several numbers of get frustrated in event he hasnt got the changed number of the person whom he intends to call. In this way all miseries can be solved.

But I know there might be several scientists out there who must have tried to make this work but still I am amazed that it hasnt been yet implemented… or am i missing on some huge drawback on this concept!! But all will agree, this concept would definitely make life much much simpler…

New Year Memories

Well, it did actually turn out to be a bash when I had not expected to be one. Just a call and a couple of more secondary calls and a fast enough executed plan made it into one. We quickly formed a 9 member gang and headed for a boys nite out of the occasion of this new years eve. I never had partied untill this time and since all the guys were my long parted schoolmates I decided atleast this year the image needs some renowation. The 9 of us headed to Vasai gaon where we just had planned to have a look at the Fireworks display which is put up at midnight 12am. But first we made it to a remotely located hotel which was abuzz with the eve’s happenings. People had eventually crowded up since it was a lonesome hotel with a huge customer list and less number of waiters to do the servings so much so that the owner himself was taking the orders. We managed to get everyone of us a seat on the outside since it was a house full and ordered our stuff. Much to our desparation the orders were arriving one after the another with a interval of 30 minutes between each which made our tummies go now-full-now-empty. Anyways who cared, since we were there to have fun. We started our talks with our updates of our lives, our current positions which gradually progressed to jokes, gazing hot chicks which flocked in the hotel, then banging the table, singing songs and later joining the people who were so tired of waiting for their orders that they started dancing to the songs the DJ was playing. The hotel soon got the appearance of a discotheque with all the crowd joining in the merriment. We all were immersed in dancing or sometimes giving budday bumps to each one the members one at a time that we forgot to notice that the clock had struck 12. But soon enough we were alerted by the boom boom of raging fireworks which decorated the midnight sky so lavishly that it resembled a huge lamp hovering on us. It was the start of the fireworks show!! Oh gosh! we missed it but not much.. since the rockets flying high up in the sky made a point to make everyone notice the mesmerising moment of joy. The advent of a brand new year! Hurray! we all shook each others hands and hugged by wishing a year of happiness, properity and success. Finally, after a while our order arrived and ate our stumptfull. Then after another round of freaky dances and all were exhausted but didnt want to give up. It was aleady 2:30 am Some of them stayed while the rest with me made a dash to our home to have some sleep so as to wake up early in the morning with a fullfilled heart and a happy soul and with memories that for at least some moments we were together making merry in the same way we used to in those good old school days where there was innocence, no tensions about the future and a jolly good time. This moment will be embeded in each one of us now as we move further ahead in this new year to succedd in establishing our careers and having a good life which would ensemble all the joys and sweetness that we hoped to have when we all studied together. I will definitely make it a point to do it every year from here on….
