|W|P|112262658177412158|W|P|Significant Comment - really encouraging|W|P|rajesh.segu@gmail.comHi Rajesh, I enjoyed reading your article about desktop search. I agree that tagging will be big. It completely changes the user experience and is a fundamental change in user behavior. In fact, I have gotten addicted to tagging. :-) I just started a personal and social bookmarking site called BlinkList and thought you might find it interesting. We are very focused on 1) tagging and 2) sharing and discovery of tagged content via a our unique tag manager and search box. We have thought about creating apps for the desktop but so far we have been too afraid. While it will be big, I somehow feel that the desktop space will be won by either Microsoft or Google so I am not sure I want to get in the middle. Would be great if you checked out our site (www.blinklist.com). We are brand spanking new and always eager to hear from new and super smart and original thinkers like yourself. Have a nice day!ref. blog post: Desktop Search + Tagging Isn't this encouraging???? So don't mind commenting, positive or negative, it helps improve ones skills and encourage writing lot more interesting articles. This is my first puff of encouragement, have you got anything more for me? Go ahead add your comments....
Isn't this a beautiful photo, if not me. This is my latest photo when I visited my engineering college recently.
Nice meeting you guys!

" There’s never been a better time to be an entrepreneur because it’s never been cheaper to be one."
Isn't this statement really encouraging? Go ahead read the blog post without fail....!
|W|P|112254880041061423|W|P|It’s a great time to be an Entrepreneur|W|P|rajesh.segu@gmail.com Desktop Search:
Desktop Search, the new buz seach technology hitting the personal computer users, has really taken off within a short span of time. Google was the first to offer followed by the lead Yahoo and Microsoft.
Desktop Search technology is very simple but smartly executed. To start with, this search engine crawles and index's all the files on the system. This indexing process, is the key to the any search technology, runs as a demon process on a computer. Indexing process uses the idle time of the system CPU without interrupting user's heavy processes. The index is generated with filename or file content as one of the many parameters of the indexing function. Since there is the mapping from index to the filename and file content, the search is performed in fraction of seconds. This indexing happens continuously updating all the files information[new, deleted,modified, etc]. When one search for a file using desktop search when connected to the internet, the results shown contain both desktop search and internet search, again raising concerns on security of personal information. Lots of questioned to be still answered but the pie of PC users using Desktop search is gradually increasing.
For review on Yahoo,Google and MS Desktop Search visit Edutainmentnet
Tagging:
Tagging in computing arena is simply labeling a piece of data or information. Tagging has been creating a lot of sound with the introduction of www.del.icio.us and www.technorati.com. The first del.icio.us is a social bookmarking service where people can bookmark their findings on the internet with an additional descriptive tag. Later someone searching for some content can enter the legible tag or partial tag[just like search keyword] to find what people have bookmarked. So tagging+search is like an human search engine, where the keywords or tags are presented by the users and again searched by users. Users power users making search more legible unless there is zero spam. Just try del.icio.us to get a feel of tagging+search.
My idea of Desktop Search + Tagging:
Since I have introduced you to both the terms I can just move ahead with my core idea. Desktop search does indexing for search and searches the computer for files by only their name or content [full or partial]. But in tagging the user has to manually tag each file or entity with a legible label and when searched the search engine searches from legible tag names first. Tagging and desktop search engines are both helpful in a different perspective but a combination of both these technologies can make search more human friendly.
Examples where there is a need for desktop search and tagging include:
programmer example: Normal desktop search requires a file name or content of the file to start its search. Ideally a computer is used for say 5 years on an average and supporse I have created a c program file abc.c before 4years for a specific functionality. I need to search for that program, where I don't remember the filename, I wrote 4years back and most of the code is not so different from many other files and now ther user is stuck. A common scenario which every computer programmer faces. Now in this situation the desktop search stand helpless to surface intended results. Here can enter the concept of tagging. Suppose say that I start tagging all the set of program files I wrote for accessing remote machine details and I tag all the related files using 'remote machine details'. Later even after 4 years when I want to search for those files, its easy for me to just say the search engine 'remote machine' and it gives me all the tags under it and then the files related on the next click. Don't this sound really next generation.
User example: Say an outgoing student has a lot of material on GATE/GRE and leaves it on his university network tagging all the material available. The new students who aspire to do their higher education needs some material can just search for the tags 'GATE' or 'GRE' instead of searching all his files and browsing his content. Same in the case of projects/programs/presentations/papers dumped over the network. Hope everyone would have ended up in your college without finding some important information on your friends system or your old system or over the university network. Again a common scenario.
So manual tagging of the information on the computer gives an extra dimension to the search without relying more on the actual users who have knowledge about the system. So when the information is legibly tagged a new user can also just search for the legible tags instead trying to search an unknown file or content. With tagging we ensure that any user can search and information is available very quickly without knowing much about the files and content present in that system.
This unique combination of Desktop Search and Tagging can make search reach the next summit attracting the major pie of the computer users! I am one among those who are anxiously waiting for such technology. Any more bells ringing on search technology, please comment!!!!
Added to that I am looking out for a Linux Desktop Search, any pointers.....?????

Have a nice day!
Mumbai rewrites the national record for the highest ever rainfall recorded in a single day in India, overtaking Cherrapunji. I still remember those days where this was a standard question for quiz, and the second the question was asked none could resist with their answear 'Cherrapunji'. So please share this with each one who are interesting in quiz and g.k.
Records:
Rainfall in Mumbai : 94.4 centimeters (37.1 inches) in one day on July 27, 2005
Rainfall in Cherrapunji: 83.82 centimeters (33 inches) in one day on July 12, 1910
This rainfall was the worse our bussiest city in India has ever faced leaving most of the employees rest in their officies, passengers waiting at the railway/bus stations, halting both railways and airways, deserting the roads and not to mention the tension among perople for their loved ones who have stuck there in the rains.
The All India Radio reported about 150,000 people were stranded in railway stations across Mumbai, India's main financial center. Tens of thousands of people were stranded for hours on roads in Bombay, and its airport -- one of the busiest in the country -- was shut Tuesday evening. All incoming flights were diverted to New Delhi and other airports.- it added.

|W|P|112246901183966993|W|P|Highest-ever rain in India's history|W|P|rajesh.segu@gmail.comThe sense of responsibility has helped each student to find financial alternatives to fund their education. Equally encouraging there exists many scholarships given by the government of India as well the colleges/universities/ngo's individually. Scholarships, added to my personal feeling, helps refueling the students spirit with new enthu added to good financial help, which is always good news for the Indian middle class parents.
Students searching for information about scholarship programmes and educational loans will no longer have to run from pillar to post, with a new website from the Ministry of Human Resource Development promising to be a one-stop guidance portal for them.
|W|P|112244854317332506|W|P|Website on scholarships for Indian Students|W|P|rajesh.segu@gmail.comThe website, Education Support, provides details about 200 government, 60 non-government and 30 exchange scholarships of various universities and institutions along with contact details both in English and Hindi [To view details in Hindi one has to have the fonts installed before hand]. In addition, terms and conditions of all major banks to provide educational loans are also available on the website which was inaugurated by HRD Minister Arjun Singh.
The government now is in verge establishing true democracy, right for information, using the internet as a medium of communication. A discussion forum would be an excellent add-on for such an informative site. This is just the first step and there is lots of other information which needs to follow that democratic rule. I would love India Pincal Code to get digitized and exposed to the public, where people can just type in their complaint keywords and it would list all the IPC code with explanation. Do you have any of such dreams or wishes, start adding them as comments. Please forward this to every student you know, I promise that this link would be really useful.

The Secret Lab and How Google Uses Humans to Evaluate Websites
Don't know how I managed to finally stumble on this, but Henk van Ess wrote some fascinating entries on what seems like a peephole peek at a secret portal to Google innerworkings we know exists, but never get the real info. Henk gives us a view on the "secret evaluation lab" - the official name being the "Rater Hub Google." It's where Google employs testers around the world to evaluate websites for inclusion in Google's Index (hows the pay? $10-20 an hour). Now we get to see how they recruit, insider Rater Hub screenshots and a Flash movie, too.

Today, I have added new header strip of Google Ads to this blog. While previewing my blog after the addition of google ads into the template I could see a new component of Adsense irregularly replacing the general Google ad links/images/text. This new Adsense component is more of an hybrid of Google Search and Google Adsense technologies.
This new component is a 'small text box and search button combination' that appears instead of adsense links on my page but this happened to my ads often but irregularly. Its asks the viewer what he wants to search from the available ads and just show those targeted results on a new page.
I understand that its just a search of available ads but when user has google to search, how many on earth would search only the ads for their results?' Anyway I belong to that category, so I didn't love it. The most unusual 'search results appearing on the same page' has been a major concern for me.
Instead I like top related ads coming in front instead of such search boxes. Instead I think they can have ads initially and then use the onclick of 'Ads by Google' or something more usable to show the Google Ads Search Box. Atleast the new results on the new page would add mortgage value.

Today my friend and myself went to Adayar Anand Bhavan during our CAT class break to have our favorite Badam Milk. We were having a long conversation about our preparation and strategies meanwhile my friend was getting distracted often. I just asked him what the problem was and he pointed me to a blue 'REVA' electric car. We were very impressed by the sleek smaller size two seater electric car. My first comment, "If I had a girlfriend I would never miss taking her a ride on that glamorous car."
It was that beautiful, which forced me to know more about that sleek eco-friendly vehicle. Just put 'REVA' on google and it returned me 771,000 results and as usual the first link was the company website. My find about REVA,
|W|P|112161101173721260|W|P|REVA -really next generation|W|P|rajesh.segu@gmail.comREVA is designed to be unique and stands out on the road as a genuine city car with a mature expression. The advanced technologies used, make it highly differentiated and superior to other makes. It has all the inherent benefits of an Electric Car and is indeed a revelation in city mobility.
The most amazing feature of all is 'Make your own REVA', where you are equipped to choose their own shades for your REVA. You can order after making your REVA or take a printout. Isn't that a cool feature?
If you are looking for a next generation sleek two seater to take your loved ones out for a thrilling ride then you always have REVA. Then, You don't own a Reva but you possess one.
GMail Drive Windows Shell Extension: link
GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.
GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the 'My Computer" folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.
XMail Hard Drive: link
XMHD, previously GMail Hard Drive[GMHD], beta service allows users to mount their respective Google Gmail as a storage medium on the net. There interface is managable where you have upload the required files which inturn is present as a mail attachment in your GMail. With a better user interface they can turn themselves popular. The login and password of the service sync's GMail which is cooooool!
With mountable GMail, at the horizon I can see P.C.'s having only the O.S which is capable of storing everything on the net. I am waiting for this to happen. But wait, what happens to the Storage Industry? Started thinking, thats what Google can do to anyone..............ha ha ha.

Was browsing my feeds in bloglines to end up spell bound. Media Lab Asia is one of the world's largest academic research program blended with innovation and creativity funded mainly by the Indian Government. I happened to click at their research page which ringed many bells in my brain. They were mainly focused in an unquely 'Digital Village'.

This unrolled for loop code actually goes faster, even though it is longer. One of the complex operations in assembly language which occupy maximum cpu cycles is the JUMP statement. Every time the operations inside the for loop is completed a jump statement is sent to the cpu to return to the start of for loop with the updated values. So every time the jump statement is issued causing more cpu cycles. Therefore the unrolled code is faster compared to the actual code. Loop fliping allows us to get rid of one of those jump instructions for each time around, and a conditional jump the first time. It is taking a loop that tests at the top and changing it so that it tests at the top.
With FLIPPING,
index = 0;
i = 0;
do {
soldiers[index++].alive =TRUE;
soldiers[index++].alive =TRUE;
i += 2;
} while( i <= 20 );
The version that uses fliping and unrolling is a good amount faster then the original.
PS: Do not unroll to far or it will slow you way down! Usually, seven or eight is the max
This has proved "Shorter code is not always faster."

Broadband over Power Line has given fresh spark to an old technology known as Powerline Carrier (PLC), which uses existing electric power distribution cabling for communications purposes. Electric utility companies have used it for many years for telemetry applications and controlling equipment at remote substations.
The IEEE has begun to develop IEEE P1675, "Standard for Broadband over Power Line Hardware" which will be intended to provide electric utilities with a comprehensive standard for installing the required hardware on distribution lines. The standard is targeted for completion in mid-2006.

Google has reached the internet masses belonging to the urban areas but now with this initiative I think google would hit every rural home soon. I know google would have started many projects which target the rural masses, the larger pie, of the worlds population. Hope google is upto something really really interesting.....!!!
If I was Google I would be ready with, Google Crop : This focuses on Agricultural Research/Industries/Market Rates/Discussion's/Climate Crop Suggestions, etc. Wish this would be born soon and help the smaller pie [farmers] to feed the larger pie [non farmers].

Everyday I wake up asking for that days news paper. I am not a guy who follows political news regularly or have the habit of reading the paper from A to Z. Just don't wonder, the latest craze 'SU DO KU' a Japanese mind game occupies a column in The Hindu/Deccan Chronicle.
A sample of SU DO KU and the rules is given below:
World's latest craze, the Japanese mind game Sudoku. Suffer its agony. Discover ecstasy. Every day.
World's latest craze, the Japanese mind game Sudoku. Suffer its agony. Discover ecstasy. Every day.What to do
Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9. Every puzzle has only one correct solution.
At work doing the same old job again and again makes our mind blunt, so I thought of doing some serious mind work and then SUDOKU turned out to be a good treatment. At my debut game I was really making both the right and left brain work at speeds greater than some GHz. Assuming things is myfavoritee and it was proved blunder here. After a detailed study, the approach that worked out was to fix some numbers according to the given rule and then find out other numbers traversing all the columns and rows.
I still remember writing a program for N-Queens problem in my Engineering, which is again a similar problem. A program would solve it in seconds but the human touch to this mind game is lost. So every day morning to make myself sharp I start with SU DO KU. So, What about U?

I could not belive my eyes when I opened a forwarded message which had subject subject GoogleOS. Here is the image sceenshot of the GoogleOS[predominantly called 'GooOS'] which was attached to the mail. I think I am still tweaking my brain......!
Searching Technorati and Google on 'Google OS' directed me to this beatiful article which disscussed about what google is working on.
Most interesting pointers of the above article include:
- " Google is building a huge computer with a custom operating system that everyone on earth can have an account on. "
- "They have this huge map of the Web and are aware of how people move around in the virtual space it represents. They have the perfect place to store this map (one of the world's largest computers that's all but incapable of crashing). And they are clever at reading this map."
- "I predict Google will be the biggest and most important company in the world in 5-8 years."
Yesterday while walking home with my friend we were discussing a lot and we ended up on diet. I was confessing him that I am intentionally missing morning breakfast to control my diet. He stared at me for a while and started laughing. I asked him why on earth he was laughing and he replied me that I would never loose my weight missing breakfast. Initially I thought he was making fun of me and asked him to shutup but he started explaining me the way I could understand i.e., scientifically.
He admited that, recently he came across an article which contradicted my view on diet. He said that whenever you are hungry and don't eat, our body would store more and more available fat as store guessing that there is something going wrong happening to our body. I couldn't digest this fact and thought aloud 'Missing Breakfast? Never!'
This is a fact, please pass it on.......

|W|P|112063267811372116|W|P|Web Design Patterns|W|P|rajesh.segu@gmail.comHello Friends!
I am still searching for words to express my joy in wishing this wonderful 'JOBS MANIA' group 'HAPPY B'DAY'. Today the group has completed 1year of service with a strong community base of 3200+ members growing day after day. I still remember the day July5 2004, one month old at office, when I planned to start a group for freshers. I found that yahoo groups was the best available groups but didnt know what to name this new born group, I thought of many but finally landed with this catchy 'jobs mania'. Since then the group is busy serving the fresher community with vital information about job opportunities, walk ins, papers, tips and suggestions helping freshers find their career.
Today I think everyone can observe many active members in the group catering various information. I am really happy to see people actively participating and I am looking forward for many more. On this ocassion I would like to request everyone 'Please stay with this group even after you get your job. Helping others is always good but helping others find their career is devine.". Please stay with us.
Eachone who likes to wish this group can zoom mails to rajesh.segu @gmail.com
Letz grow togather and share our joy!
Thank You
Segu Rajesh.
JOBS MANIA
