We get a default tool with vista but, irony is that its not user friendly as many MS pdts claim themselves.. ok lets chk whether it works..

I have one primary and one more logical drive. I am able to shrink only the logical, while am not able to do any nonsense with the primary even though i hav loads of GBs left.

This pushed me to chk for the diskpart tool which told me the same thing in the command line.. nothing works .. Kind of bugd now.  Thought abt formatting and re-installing the xp prof and get a linux distro goin, but tat too is not possible since I have organised my data perfectly here so re-organising them is simply a pain in … :-X

Already I disable all those flashy stuff so tat i can save some memory, other than tweaking registry which am very weak since it gives some junk results most of the time i tried.

Refrained from formatting, since After getting this laptop, jus was thinking let me see how long am able to run along with vista home basic edition.

I don like this, except for the ease of operation and I can easily tell my parents something, instead of showing them a xfce stuff. No intention to play with partitions since I have really gud data oraganised properly (atleast to me) ..

No idea watsoever..

BlueJ is being sued by M$ using their buzzwords patents..!

ok.. for people who dono much about BlueJ.. here is something..

BlueJ is an integrated Java environment specifically designed for introductory teaching. The BlueJ environment was developed as part of a university research project about teaching object-orientation to beginners.

The system is being developed and maintained by a joint research group at Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia, and the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK. The project is supported by Sun Microsystems.

Sounds great.. but chk this out for wat M$ plans for the same..

M$ introduces a feature called Object Bench in the Visual studio express.. way back in 2005.. jus chk out this article where Michael does a walkthrough of bluej and object bench.. awasome in the sense that both are one and the same..!

Jus a screen shot…

Visual studio..!

BlueJ…!

Rest is untold for those who watched Pirates of silicon valley

And its not the end of the story..

The M$patent against BlueJ is simply interesting, if you are BlueJ user.. (though am not.. i tried to chk it out so that i can get a glimpse of wats goin on..!)

Sounds really foxy..!

Mic further says..“the actual implementors had taken BlueJ as a design template”

sounds quiet un-ethical..! well who cares.. its finally business that matters and the fittest survives !

 

This guy Ronald W. Hovsepian President and Chief Executive Officer of Novell Inc announced this on Nov 2nd.. More on the same can be read here

This is wat Ron told .. “Let me begin by quickly outlining what we just announced. Microsoft and Novell, starting today, have agreed to build and market solutions so that Novell’s technology works on Microsoft and vice versa. Specifically, customers will now be able to run virtualized SUSE Linux Enterprise on Windows or Windows on SUSE Linux Enterprise. This landmark agreement also calls for both Microsoft and Novell to provide patent coverage to each others’ customers for our respective products. Why is that important? It’s important because you shouldn’t have to spend a lot of time worrying about legal matters around which operating system to choose. You also shouldn’t have to worry about barriers such as intellectual property agreements, who owns which patent portfolio, and indemnification. None of those issues move your business forward. Now many of those barriers have been removed.”

Lets see how things move..!

i got it from Venu who is working with M$ technologies

I was wondering how to use it with my C# code
now got it frm a friend ( frm some forum)
this is it
MSCHART
CODE

will be posting my code soon

I was not much aware of the embedded system things till today morning
but after attending the technical session by Kevin reg this, i was
rather moved to become a embedded programmer, seeing the various apps
that run .. etc…

Nice to see the demo reg the WinCE
i was searching all thru google to find the expansion for *CE*
But i couldnt
i got many answers..
few are..

==> Compact Embedder
==> Consumer Electronics
==> Compact Edition..

But wat is it actually.. an easy os developer tool for the small
handheld devices ( influenced by demo! ) and many other devices..

I was reading an article in pcquest regarding the “Flash memory” in
the PDAs etc..
the author was pointing out that there was very less usage of those
flash memories though it was taking very less time to load and execute
the apps there. The major drawback was cost. This thing struck my mind
for few days.. and after Kevin developed a small app for the smart
phone i was rather interested to see how things work.

But i didnt like the way he said abt OS development. He said it is as
easy as 5 steps..
A true technical student should try to learn how things work, rather
making it work, by some means. If he told us how that code is
integrated or somehting of that sort, i woudl be happy.. anyway with
very little knowledge abt the embedded things i wasnt in a position to
raise issues there!

Result of the session
–> i downloaded both the VC# express and windows ce trial version
i wasnt sure abt the trial period for CE.. anyway let me try it out later
and regarding vc# express, i didnt install becas i didnt have SP! in my xp box.

Things are fine..
went to CIT with Angel today, hell a lot of rush ( only in bus)
jus 20+ teams in the college
and kevin and abhishek took the tech sessions
though kevin’s was kool.. abhishek’s was more informative

I knew abt MVC and MSF that he was talking abt.. but the thing is it was buggy when he showed ppt filed with paragraphs.. then there was a break after kevin’s session.. CIT was bit shady….

Nothing else there…
i thought of asking abt the resource kit but kevin told that those things will be replied in mail
they gave MS pens to us,

I registered for a slot for tomoro.. lets see, wat happens…!

Nowadays, i get the things bit clear.

I was leaning towards windows during my schooling , learning vb stuff, then towards Linux, last 2 yrs, all i did was trying to figure out the distro that would suit me, finally after that i got no space in HDD .. messed up with partions, config files…. life went on that way..

Finally i stopped for a moment and thought why not master something, rather learnign all and having a crap record. So here iam starting with .net and thigns regarding c#, iam doign this so that i could finish my final yr prj, which is also MSP, without any hassle…And ofcourse i always have had the pleasure of learning the better and best. It was long back when P.Sriram said abt .net in my class.. i jus ignored and was trying teh distros.. now he is trying distros and J2EE stuff and iam trying .net and c#, things turned upside down.

From the framework i learned today , i figured out that lot can be done with it, i remember the days when i was messing up with swing controls and looking into the package code and java groups .. huh, very bad time , but i should admit i learned a lot that time, all abt the java’s pros and cons and finally concluded swing == slow.
Today Iam trying to install VS.net, but things are not working out as i thought. i hope i return the cds soon to Aarthi. Shooted a mail, still didnt get a reply, may be she didnt chk her inbox.. Anyway hope that i install this VS.net and start with the code sooner, so that i can go on with my MSP things.

Got the MS newsletter and the first review wil be the internal one and the second one will be on feb. intenal review details will be given in the web by nov 15 as per the newsletter, so neednt hurry with it now. The mentor should be consulted with the internal review form and it must be submitted by dec 31. will do it in sem hols, got some solid 10 days time. Neednt do in hurry but much be consulted with the mentor this thing as soon as i get the details frm MS site. Regarding the rejection, there wont be any rejection as stated in the MS site, so suppose if we do well, we can showcase our project in a big banner MS..

Need to talk abt this more and learn more, i think better i start with c# after this testing is documented, and the funny thing is i have not yet started with my sem preparations.. hheheheh

So wat do these GNU peope doing..?
heheh iam one of them singing OSS song for ever..
hmm but wats this the MS people are getting more Indian studets under their grab .. thru various scholarship progs etc.. yeah Stud champs really feel they are in a way honoured.
Iam no way related to both MS and OSS. I jus use the software that gives more to me. More can mean,==> satisfaction, ease of use, ease in deployment, security, etc… I use both OSS and MS pdts, but i feel bad in using pirated MS pdts, but wat a silly poor college stud can do ??

MS people should think of giving atleast students the previlage of using the s/w , hope this comes in to real time impl soon..
Got many more tech blogs out there in many a sites, this sounds kool, so starting my turn over again.
Jus started to learn C#, dono where iam goign to end .. heehhe registerd linux user too, riding on 2 horses, with difference in various aspects, being a member of LUGs and NUGs.. i dont really conclude my destination…
