Vomit earns the coveted Compendium Award for 'worst product name' of the day [link].

Seems that Vomit was released loongtime back in the year 2001 itself, but as VoIP deployment and security are getting hot now.. Vomit comes in news again .. yes,

"Siemens have been telling hundreds of telecoms and IT specialists the ways criminals steal packets of voice data from converged and data networks, so they can eavesdrop on corporate calls. These VoIP attacks are often enabled by a free download known as Vomit, designed to convert IP phone conversations into a wave file that can be played with ordinary sound players" .. [news]

Estonia e-republic !

"People like to say, don't touch things that work, but Estonians like to look behind the thing and wonder whether there's anything we can change about it. In Estonia you might say, if it works, you can break it". Really amazing !!

"If It Works, You Can Break It" , Cover Story from Forbes.com

>> Since independence in 1991 little Estonia has used a knack for technology and a ravenous appetite for change to make itself a largely wired e-republic.

>> Estonians did much of the software programming and development for the Soviet space program, not to mention the KGB. The Soviets placed one of their most important centers of AI research near the capital city of Tallinn.

>> Internet and mobile phone usage per capita, for instance, is high. Over half of all Estonians now pay for their street parking spaces automatically, using their mobile phones. According to the latest figures 52% of Estonians use the Net regularly.

>> The government runs its Thursday-morning cabinet meetings on computer, and it is close to doing away with paper altogether. Sessions that used to take most of a day now take half an hour as ministers politely tap out their comments instead of grandstanding. Next year the official record of government business will no longer be printed on paper, except for a single copy for the archives. It will exist solely on the Web. "If the Internet was reborn as a country, it would be Estonia," United Nations Development Program administrator Mark Malloch Brown has said.

The article concludes on a note that the reserved nature of Estonian hold them back from promoting their economy and own brand of innovation. Perhaps that's why people so keen to talk about the little country that could. Because it has, in its own small way.

Smiling not allowed in US passport photos, the unhappiest passports on earth:

When taking a photo of a person [applying for a passport] "The subject's expression should be neutral (non-smiling) with both eyes open, and mouth closed. A smile with a closed jaw is allowed but is not preferred," according to the guidelines.. Smiling "distorts other facial features, for example your eyes, so you're supposed to have a neutral expression. The most neutral face is the most desirable standard for any type of identification," said Angela Aggeler, spokeswoman for the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs, which handles travel-document guidelines.

Cry !! ;-<

Don't CRY ? @least I don't like !!. Be Cool, Calm, Relax & Smile ;-)

Most people say they feel better after a good cry. Crying helps release all the tension, anxiety and frustrations of life. It feels great to relieve yourself of the hurt without being destructive. Also, crying stimulates the release of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that have mood-elevating effects and help you feel better.

What are tears?

Tears are of three types: continuous, reflex and emotional. Continuous tears are the ones which just flow to lubricate your eyes, or when you're sleepy and yawn. Reflex tears are those which are in response to irritants like smoke, onion vapors or foreign bodies. Emotional tears are by far the most complex. They can be stemmed by happiness, sadness, anger, stress or any other deep emotion.

Crying is not a solution

Crying may ease the pain, but no matter how much you cry, you can't wish the cause of your tears away. No amount of crying will get back your lost love, take you back in time so your child passes that exam or bring you a promotion. What crying does is help you express your pain and indulge in a few moments - or hours - or days - of self pity. You accept your vulnerabilities as human beings, and by doing so you regain strength to wipe the tears away, open your eyes, lift your heads, and move on.

The fact is, women, on an average, cry five times more than men.

Funny Tracking !

Read the following funny stuff from fwd.

:: Tracking ::

Three men were flying on a plane over the jungle when it crashed. They were the only people who survived. They decided that starting the next morning one of them would go out and make weapons and see if he could kill anything.

So the next morning the first man went out. He didn't come back till about noon. When they saw him they ran to him and helped him carry the deer back to the plane wreckage. They asked him how he killed it. He said "I find tracks...I follow tracks...I kill deer."

So the next morning the second guy set out. He too came back at noon. When they saw him they ran to him and helped him carry the buffalo he had killed back to the plane wreckage. They asked him how he had killed it. He said "I find tracks...I follow tracks...I kill buffalo."

The next morning the third guy went out. The other two were watching and watching for him. When it was almost sundown and he still hadn't returned they started getting worried.

Then they saw a person stumbling towards them he looked awful, really bad cuts and a broken arm. They went and helped him to the fire they had made and asked him what had happened.

He said "I find tracks...I follow tracks...and...I got hit by a train."

Fantastic photo gallery of 'sleeping salarymen'. Do watch-out !! funny !

I too used to work for a Japanese branch of my company, and also I heard and sometime know about the long hours that Japanese peoples put in. But, this astounding gallery (I came across in the net from some blog) of photographs of unconscious salarymen (either asleep or dead drunk) in trains, roads, etc.,. Is it b'coz of too much on work.??. Ohhhh !

Get going !

Don't let all the things you need to do get in the way of all that you're able to get done. Instead of worrying that it won't all get finished, get busy doing it.

In an instant you can go from feeling overwhelmed to being in positive control. Get busy, and get life going your way.

Quick Win !

Whatever it may be, @last INDIA won the final cricket match against Aussies. Good show (esp. Murali Karthik & Dravid), keep it up ! Yes, proved that 'Nothing is impossible' ..

Huff .. my Hero 'Sachin' was out @ the same score of 55(83), next ball after my previous post .. Really Bad ;-( .. Better luck neXt time !

Nothing is Impossible!

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Article @ BWI !

Really good article "The cucumber seller of Chennai" in this week's BWI by Mr. Subroto Bagchi [co-founder & chief operating officer at MindTree Consulting], his view of conversation with the cucumber seller.

Good lesson and conclusion from the article ... " .. We are not complete if we are not connected. It is only when we are connected that things make sense. Only when things make sense, we can form an opinion ..".

Changing Seasons !

[Read Deuteronomy 31:1-8.]

The Lord said, "Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." - Isaiah 43:18-19 (NRSV)

no free roaming !

not about 'net roam', but 'mobile roam' ... From this week onwards, incoming calls while roaming are NOT completely 'FREE' in 'AirTel' Chennai. Yes, only 150 min./month is free, if you cross the 150min., then rest of incoming call mins. are charged as per the roaming charges ...

AirTel person called and informed the same (Why should she called me alone ??).. and is applicable to all plans, including CUGs. It seems that other mobile service providers are reducing their tariffs (and also advertising the same), but, AirTel is now putting lots of restrictions (without even intimating the customers, but, luckily informed me !!)..!

Search Engine?

Are You Having An Affair With Your Search Engine?

The internet is often blamed for 'rising divorce rates' [link, funny!!!], but usually it's because people started having online relationships with other people. However, what if your significant other is having an 'online relationship with a search engine'?

A new study (from MSN search, Is there any bias here ??) finds that 'men talk to Google more than their girlfriends' [link] (Is this common across the globe ??) when it comes to asking for advice on things. Women tend to go the more traditional route of talking to family and friends. The article shows a few other differences between the way men and women search, including the news that men are more likely to ego-surf than women... Oh God, nothing to comment all about this .. save this new world & make the people happy ?? ..

World on Fire !

I love watching the video for Sarah McLachlan's song "World on Fire". [Linked from web]

The concept of the video is that she could have spent $150,000 making the video; instead she chose to donate $148,270 of it to causes around the world. Really Great !!! [video shows about poors of Calcutta too?]

Scanning the list of donations, so many ways are there to make significant contributions to improve the quality of the lives of others around the world. As the world gets ever-more-interconnected, such contributions will accelerate the feedback cascades of our collective knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom. Good Work !!

Ooohhh.. after looong time, watched a movie (7G ..) on the release day itself (But, not First day First Show, but nite show !!), only in college dayz used to do like that (but why first day now ? Jus' b'coz my friend asked can we go today..? thatz it .. nothing planned !!). Mmm, somewhat nice one, Can I say like that ?.

'Sonia' performed well as 'Anitha', Keep up !!. Good songs & BGM by 'Yuvan' (Well DONE !!), nice screen-play by 'Selva'. Excellent background score & soft looking fotography by 'Aravind' with good close-up shots (esp. when 'sonia' on screen!!) in many places of the film .. seems like entire film is mainly shot in very few locations in Chennai.

'Kann Pesum' reminded 'venmathiye' of 'Minnale', but 'venmathiye' choreographed well. 'Ithu Porkalama' like 'Nenjamellam' of 'AyuthaEzhuthu', song in the BG alone ... 'January maadham' is similar one like 'Bombay's 'Arabi kadaloram' .. 'Kanaa Kaanum' nice one .. then, climax song 'Ninaithu ninaithu' looks like 'Sethu's 'varthai thavarivittai', (Is is so ??) but from different end/view.

As usual in Selva's film, some drinking scenes & all are there, can be avoided (!!!), What's in that, showing the same again & again.

".. Dekho Na .. zara Dekho Na .. thumho main .."

song from 'SWADES' by AR Rahman is playing in the BG .. repeating the 'Ichu thaa' song of tamil 'Baba' in Hindi. Why ?? But, seems like the song in Hindi is nice one to listen .. How ?

During my college days, I was listening Srilankan FM Radio (I love 'Iravin Madiyil' excellent collection of melody songs !!, now-a-dayz, I'm doing the same with my own collection of songs in my 'Music Man' or from my official PC Music Server !!), Shakthi FM and sometimes Singapore FM (in nites) too. Along with that, watching Srilankan TV ('Roopavaahini', nice name, Isn't it ??) and other one (2nd Channel, forgot the name ??), even if those channel singnals were week in my areas, some(many)times. Ha Ha !!

While reading the above, reminded me a friend (??) of mine (smile ;->), who used to crack soo many like the above one, so timingly ...!

Relationships often have earthquakes also. The relationship earthquake is caused by an abrupt release of strain that has been building up over a long time. This is where we get the phrase "he really blew his top." If you don't talk to your spouse about things, then a relationship earthquake is quite possible and could cause extensive property damage (mostly dishes flying across the room).

Mmm .. about 'SCHIZOPHRENIA', yah, the above film too has some relation to this ..

SCHIZOPHRENIA :: A Brain Disease, "Insanity, then, is inordinate or irregular, or impaired action of the mind, of the instincts, sentiments, intellectual, or perceptive powers, depending upon and produced by an organic change in the brain..". As can be seen from the research report, the part of the brain that is resonsible for self-analysis seems to be one of the areas most damaged by schizophrenia; the brain that is damaged, cannot frequently recognize that it is damaged.

Lot more information available in the web site.

: s/w Failure :

Software disasters are often people problems [Check out the cnn link] .. What you say ?? listed many reasons like Leadership breakdown, Development misunderstandings, etc..

All these analysis b'coz .. "..Last month, a system that controls communications between commercial jets and air traffic controllers in southern California shut off because some maintenance had not been performed. A backup also failed, triggering potential peril .. "

today, accidently caught that there are few subscribers to my dreamz site too. Yes, few people reading my dreamz along with me regularly using the published feed, believe that they didn't hit my page directly.

Also, the reader/subscriber count increased by one more from few dayz back .. Who's that ? What's that in my 'dreamz', Jus' my own 'blah blah' (Dear, I didn't mean you here !!) and whatever I came across while net roam !!

Anyway, thank you for visiting my dreamz, and as like one of the regular visitor, who appreciate my own 'fotos' published here and send comments .. same way expecting comments from others too ..

Dear, as per your comment, for 'Peace of Mind', mmm... will definitely think about and do some good efforted practice to achieve that soon .. What you say ??

then .. Jus' thought the word heard 'SCHIZOPHRENIA' .. and roam about that in net .. lots of details .. let me post that in next blogs .. leaving my dreamz now ..
