Installing Shiretoko (Firefox 3.5) : Just use Synaptic and it’s done.
The menu inside Shiretoko for setting it as default doesn’t seem to work. So,
But I do like to call Firefox as Firefox 
There are so much things I would like to do now, So much things I would like to learn; But end up doing nothing pondering over “What to do?” 
So long since kruZade…
Something to connect all batches… (though minimalistic)
Alumni CMS – Web Portal (extended from Family Connections)
What’s been done?
-> Customized to fit for our purpose.
-> Added few, disabled few,removed many.
-> Clumsy logo replacement (but am least interested in it right now).
What’s on -dev?
-> Connectivity to G! Apps and integrating it with home page. (Currently the RSS-subscribe may facilitate listening to new posts but not fully fledged like integrating a mailing list)
-> New feature requests.

It would be much appreciated if you could try this out and comment/report any errors/bugs found due or any purposeful additional feature.
First and last on-time friendship day meet during college years, Wow 
Update : Chrome used only around 50MB in the same scenario and the execution is also much faster.
1) Facebook homepage
2) Facebook App : MafiaWars, which I was playing when I noticed my box dragged even with 3 gigs of memory to find this :
(thats firefox.exe – 12,35,000 K)
My specs: Firefox 3.5.1, Windows 7 RC
Any diagnostics welcome
Well, Previously it was leaving scraps to long gone friends.. Then with apps and game with them .. Now the time frame shrunk further…

Seems fun but perhaps this would be meaningful only if u have a bunch of share-alike. So updates pending

Yup.. That’s one big step in my Path to the U.S scoring 1310 ( 790Q and 520V ).
Ok, I know these scores are not great, not even good I guess..
Post-GRE Comments from in-and-around ranged from “Why so low?” to “Treat machi!!”; Though I remained stoic to either of these filled with my own apprehensiveness and enthusiasms.
My GRE Week :
I took a week off from college (A big relief from my Be-Before-The-Right-Time lifestyle). Threw away Barrons as I literally got mad and shortlisted my own 1500 words that I finalized to read and revise…
I managed to scored in range of 650-700 in my GREEdge.com Verbal adaptive tests but couldn’t make above 700 range in the Quants adaptive test (Contrary to what happens in the individual sessions where I score near full in Q and somewhere decently in V)
Four days went by and I wasn’t able to even digest it passed so fast.
The next exciting thing was the drive to Madras.. Started driving somewhere in the early morning caught the NH, Absolutely ecstatic drive. Dad fell asleep and to my greatest surprise (and delight ) Mom too. Mom never let “me” drive beyond 60 kmph. Now I had all the time to test drive our car and I reached around 160kmph above which my conscience did not allow me.
*************************************************SCREAM*************************************************
Mom had woke up and there was some serious discussion on who was to resume driving Dad always vouched for me; This time too
On the Day of the GRE:
Reached the centre an hour and half earlier.. But was already beaten by two other girl who had come with their whole luggage lot. Barrons in both their hands and nervous page-turns, Damn.. Half hour passed and two others came, Girls with book again. Worser than that, All four were friends it seemed.
We were given our locker keys and just before we entered the waiting lounge, I was joined by two Just-Made-It-On-Time Guys
We were made to sign confidentiality forms and others. Absolutely nothing was allowed inside other than IDs/Proofs (Not even your handkerchief :\ ).
We were escorted to our respective cubicles. The computer sprang alive and I read the instructions on “How to use the Mouse?” and crap as though I was new to a non-living mouse.
I faced the University selection screen and filled in the details of one of the Univ. and hoping to fill for the next Univ. had impatiently clicked “Next” which took me to another instruction screen with no “Back” button. Felt I screwed even the Univ. selection screen where I was allowed to enter upto 4 Univ.
With that, The Analytical Section began as it always does.
Was faced with a couple of topics. ( @Brinda: One of the topic was what u wrote ur essay on )
40min passed by and the screen was flooded with enough words to sate me.
The Argument topic was also pretty straight forward and finished it in another 25min.
10-min break *- Which I nervously took to enquire Whether there was any possibility I can fill in another 3 institutions. “Didnt u read the instructions?” was the reply. I apparently had missed out on the part of instructions which said that was a simulation and that the real Univ. selection would appear only at the end.
Pencils ready, I Clicked the “Next” with a “?” of whether I would be facing the Quants or Verbal or the hideous Experimental section.
First came the Q .. I took 7min to answer the first two questions. Checking and re-checking to see if the answer was right. Something struck down deep on my confidence part for the first 10min. Passing through the rest of the Q section, I was not sure of 3-4 questions. Finished Quants and then came the mighty Verbal.. Something was weird.. I had known most of the words in the analogy, SC, antonyms (unlike the usual). Was confident enough to finish up the verbal 10mins in advance.
Thank god the experimental section was at the last and it clearly pronounced itself as “Not counting for the score”. The experimental was yet another Analytical section This time also it was fairly simple and managed to essay a decent population of words in 20min. Finished it.
The Ultimatum:
“Do you want your score to be evaluated?”
- I didnt do Q well, not well enough for 800.
- V was decent and I pretty sure of 600 at the least.
- If Q didn’t go well for a Engg. stud, It might be a lasting stigma.
- Should 6.6k (and a week’s leave) be wasted on something without any result? Probably Not and so proceeded to evaluate my answers.
Voila! Q was 790 and V was 520. Something had seriously meddled with my fate.
Came out and was waiting in the lounge to fill out some extra crap. Had a chance to peek on scores of three who left earlier than. 900, 1080, 970. Ok, So mine was decent eh? One another thing “English-layae paesindu erukura ponnukum GRE easy-a erukanumnu avasiyam elai!”
Well, Thats for about the GRE part. Still am wavering about whether to re-write? Could I score better?
No idea.. As always “Time will say”
I know this post is filled with broken flow of sentences, perhaps it reflect more than it should.
After working for more than 2hrs converting things to serializable objects, you could end up finding that you cant serialize more than one object instances in a single file. :/
P.S. You could also learn that you can do it by subclassing and overriding the ObjectOutputStream (and end up where?)
Recently I changed my broadband plan from “Unlimited 256kbps (UL750)” to “500 C+”.
The reason would be obvious to anyone who’s using the plan herein Neyveli. The connection claiming 256kbps offered me a MAX download speed of 13kbps and quite often my old PC boot-up beats the loading of yahoo.com (NOT an exaggeration). If only there was a customer grievances cell, a effective one.
Leaving that aside, the new connection gives me a download speed of something around 45-100kbps safely vouching out as “upto 2Mbps” and with a toll of being limited (2am-8am being unlimited).
Used to never switching the ADSL modem off, both in Cbe and here, my usage already crossed something over 1GB in a single day though I remember putting the downloads only after 2am (fruitlessly staying awake till then it seemed). Googling around, heres the data:
1. BSNL records the total traffic from ADSL-”on” to ADSL-”off” and not based on time.
2. When the ADSL is “on” even before the free hours, the avg. traffic (per hr) is taken and adjusted acc’ly.
3. Imrans Broadband Helper Utility
Do this and you can effectively squeeze out of your free hours :
1. Schedule all your Download Managers and Torrent clients to start only at 2AM and remaining “paused” anytime between 8AM-around to-2AM.
2. After installing the Imrans Utility, just goto “Configure your Modem” and enter the IP of your ADSL modem/router, the name to “root” and leave all others unchanged.
@ : The name and password are not the same as that of the routers configuration page credentials.
The default for mine was U:”root” and Pass:”admin”; while someothers have U:”root” and Pass:”admin”
3. Click on start and check visually(check the lights) whether your modem gets off and then on.
4. (3) is of cardinal importance.
@ : The program might say reboot failed, but leave that out if (3) succeed.
5. Click “Save” to save it to “test.script” and then goto the installed directory and replace the contents of the existing “Broadband.script” with this.
6. Change the settings in this utility as needed, test the reboot process from this interface once and you are good to go.
All this, if you need to have the connection “always-on” rather than “on” just when you need to browse owing to your other needs. There’s one other program “Shajul DataOne Manger” for the people with “Connect using Broadband which requires username and password” setup ( Typically, you need to click-dial rather than just have your modem “on” to start browsing) setup.
Successfully running for 4 days now without having to sleep late and DO check the DataOne portal for ur limit to keep an eye, just in case 
P.S : For all those who thought the ADSL modem/router was just a thingy with a On/Off button, welcome to BusyBox.
A drop from the ocean: This utility telnets to your thingy, logs in with the username and password and issues a “reboot” command. You can try this out by issuing “telnet ip-of-ur-modem” and auth-ing in and giving “help” to see various commands possible, but please proceed with atmost caution as your experiments may make your device faulty.
