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.

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 .. "

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 ..

M$ also moving to VoIP with LCS 2005

Microsoft Watch reports that the company is supporting SIP applications with its Live Communications Server 2005 [code-named "Greenwich"]. M$ also will use LCS 2005 as a way to gain a toehold in the Voice-over-IP (VOIP) space, according to sources claiming familiarity with the company's plans. M$ is also planning to release devices such as phones, and support mobile platforms. With its upcoming next-generation OS (Longhorn), integration with LCS is expected to be provided, so again playing their game ...

2. Great software projects always, always have one person who gets the big picture. He/she codes. Repeat: he/she codes. This person is called the architect. [a person commented two, architect & QA !!]
9. Great software architecture requires thought in advance.

[#]. From BW Online, [link].. A wave of innovation is yielding high-quality goods that India's poor can afford.

Few like, a). Tata Group's most ambitious project, a compact car that will sell for $2,200, b). TCS software engineers developed a program to teach India's 200 million illiterates to read, c). India's largest private bank, called ICICI, has also created innovations through small loans given to self-employed farmers and craftspeople.

Banking. Education. Health care. Autos. In these areas and beyond, Indians are increasingly demanding better products and services at an affordable cost. The phrase "Made in India" may come to represent low-cost innovation in the new global economy.

Our company too developing various low cost products and solutions, proud to be part of this.

"... Life is full of ups and downs. The political career of any leader is full of victories and defeats. No one is consistently successful, no one is a consistent loser..."

Highlight of this interview was @ the end,

KT : Chief Minister, a pleasure talking to you on HARDtalk India.
JJ : I must say it wasn’t a pleasure talking to you. Namaste

Check out :: [interview] :: [video]:: [audio] :: here.

Personally, I've many stuff to comment here, but avoiding .. Jaya, one of my favorite personality !! (b'coz of few interesting qualities in her) .. I feel in that interview, she is soooo bold, calm, cool and responded well .. (except very few places, she's too human), I liked it.

I expect the interview should be more with Jaya as CM of TN and about the development TN, but unfortunately media still using the fame of JJ in another way, may be even doing just business (??) or making the discussion just 'HOT' ??.

Lot more to write, but again, What far ? Let's think of development and future, and not about the individual and personal stuffs.

Week End ??

Nothing interesting in the weekend to share here. Mostly, passed the time in office, but not able to completely concentrate on my official work [Why ? Why ?]. But, helped my colleague there in 'China' to do his work, and also again someway managed to skip few invitations too (??).

Really, cool & nice climate, but.... roads full of rain water and dust, What to do ?..

'Resist me when you must...

[by Sudhir Kakar, author of 'Mira and Mahatma' -- claims -- is a work of fiction bordering on reality that explores the complex relationship between Gandhi and Madeline Slate...]

.. "You are on the brain. I look about me, and miss you. I open the charkha and miss you.." from Bapu's letter to Mira ... Bapu wrote 350 letters to Mira; he never wrote so many letters to anyone else. ...

.. So, in a way, the Mira and Mahatma conflict was inevitable -- for, reads the book -- 'this was a genesis of a 'violent and passionate' disturbance'...

.. She didn't want to share him with anyone. She thought the world had misjudged him and nobody knew him better than her. It's an amazing story of an extraordinary woman, yet I think she was fulfilled because she was so passionate ...

You don't know where each step will take you, but you do know the general direction you are moving in. If you make a mistake, you get wet. If your calculations are wrong, you have to inch your way back to safety and find a different route. And, as you jump from rock to slippery rock, you have to like the feeling."

: Latest songs by Kay Kay :

Now-a-dayz, whichever song singer 'Kay Kay' sings, becomes a HIT. I love those songs !!.

His earlier hits includes, 'Uyirin Uyire' of Kaakka Kaakka, which starts off with Suchitra's humming, as the humming fades, KK takes off with his enchanting voice, then hotest HIT for longtime now 'Appadi Podu' of 'Gilli' and 'Oru Punnagai Poove' of '12B' and more .. He is singing GREAT now (as like Unnikrishnan, Harish Raghavendra, ..)

Jus' Listening Kay Kay's latest songs [more than once !!] from 'Chellamay, 7G Rainbow Colony & ManMadhan'. Undoubtedly these are the pick of those films.

[#]. Chellamay :: 'Kaadhalikkum Aasai Illai' from Harris Jeyaraj sung by Kay kay, Mahathi, Timmy, Chinmayi. The song is best pick of the album, the song is thoroughly enjoyable. On initial hearing itself one can love & enjoy it by its peppy tune, good lyrics and rhythm and haunting 'kaadhali kaadhali', 'sonaali' chanting.

[#]. 7G Rainbow Colony :: 'Ninaithu ninaithu' from Yuvan Shankar sung by Kay Kay. A beautiful melody, definitely going to steal many hearts, thatz sure. The song is sure to bring the feelings not only people who are/were in love, but also to others too !!. Jus' Chumma !

[#]. ManMadhan :: 'Kadhal Valarthein' from Yuvan Shankar, again sung by Kay Kay. It has got commendable lyrics by Naa.muthukumar. Kay Kay's voice is nice to hear and so malleable to whatever pitch he takes the song. 'Yei Pulla .. Yei Pulla' chanting is excellent & heart stunning to hear, really sung well.

Enzoy listening & dreaming ..!!

Jus' roam about Dreaming, interesting one .. Isn't it ??

'Lucid dreaming' means that while you are dreaming, you are conscious of the fact that you are dreaming, rather than taking everything what happens to you for granted. The term was coined by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity. Lucidity usually begins in the midst of a dream when the dreamer realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality, but is a dream.

'A Study of Dreams' - By Frederik van Eeden. Based on his sixteen years personal experience and observation, Eeden distinguished nine different kinds of dreams, each of which presents a well-defined type.

Read 'Dream Types' @ 'A Study of Dreams'.

Eeden believes that 'dreams are not purely arbitrary, and that there must be some kind of scientific order behind them'. "To deny may be just as dangerous and misleading as to accept", he says.

"Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work." - Bette Davis (1908 - 1989)

: Learning From Failure :

HBS Working Knowledge has an excerpt from "Juice: The Creative Fuel that Drives World-ClassInventors" by Evan Schwartz :

"... Failure is the rule rather than the exception, and every failure contains information. One of the most misleading lessons imparted by those who have reached their goal is that the ones who win are the ones who persevere. Not always. If you keep trying without learning why you failed, you'll probably fail again and again. Perseverance must be accompanied by the embrace of failure. Failure is what moves you forward. Listen to failure.

But there are different kinds of failure. Sometimes, failure tells you to give up and do something else entirely. Other times, it tells you to try a different approach, a new route to the top of the mountain. Or it may tell you to make a detour. Sometimes, it tells you that you need help. Sometimes, it doesn't seem to tell you anything... "

The HBSWK excerpt discusses Steve Wozniak and what he learnt.

Jus' happened to read the following article [via :'Joel'] ..

'Incrementalists' are realists. They have a pretty good idea of what is achievable given a problem to solve, a product to ship. They're intimately aware of how many resources are available, where the political landscape is at any given moment, and they know who knows what. They tend to know all the secrets and they like to be recognized for that fact.

'Completionists' are dreamers. They have a very good idea of how to solve a given problem and that answer is SOLVE IT RIGHT. Their mantra is, "If you're going to spend the time to solve a problem, solve it in a manner that you aren't going to be solving it AGAIN in three months."

Email is never ever ever never ever the right way to resolve controversy. Don't waste your time solving problems in email... stand up... walk down the hall... and look the person in the eye. You'll live longer.

: Nothing but 'Net' News :

DVD/Digital Video Recorder :

It's just a single device, Panasonic's new DVD recorder/digital video recorder with a 400 GB hard drive should give people a small taste of where things are headed. The amount of storage available is reaching the point that it's almost not worth thinking about. This device, for example, can record 709 hours of video (nearly 30 straight days of continuous video).

It also has broad connectivity, letting people program it via the internet and mobile phones and letting people access content stored on it the same way. While bandwidth is still an issue, it becomes less and less of an issue over time, and suddenly we get closer to a world where you can access all your content, anywhere at any time.

Readfully the news @@.

How your eyes read news By Cory Doctorow

Researchers with the Eyetrack III project used software-controlled cameras to follow the eyes of readers who were perusing news websites, in order to determine the topology of attention.

Do You Click Randomly On Websites ?

In a new study about web-use behavior, one of the more interesting findings was that people tend to click a lot on websites -- and they're not talking about links. People just click within a website. While the snippet linked here doesn't suggest a reason why, I definitely do this, so I can at least explain my thought process.

Read in detail here.

Somewhere read .. Jus' b'coz my dear friend mailed about me jus' that "appo dipo bhava.. !"

...

People want belief, and Buddha said... his last message to the world was "appo dipo bhava; be a light unto yourself". He had said this because his disciples were crying. Ten thousand sannyasins surrounding him... of course they were sad, and tears were falling; their master was leaving. And Buddha said to them, "Don't cry. Why are you crying?"

One of the disciples, Ananda, said, "Because you are leaving us, because you were our only hope, because we had hoped and hoped long that it isthrough you we will attain to truth."

It was to answer Ananda that Buddha said, "Don't be worried about that. I cannot give you truth; nobody else can give it to you, it is nottransferable. But you can attain it on your own. Be a light unto yourself".

: Database File System :

Check out the 'Database File System', a completely different interface for your files, implemented in KDE. There is actually a request for developers to join a project to implement this under GNOME and leave how we use the desktop today behind. Any try ??

A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries

"Gallina" is a GMail blog tool created by Jonathan Hernandez that uses GMail messages as "entries" (so 1000 MB of entries!!), replies to conversations are the "entry comments", uses Libgmailer ('gmail-lite' project) to connect to GMail. It uses XML/XSLT and by the way it's a GPL software.

Work space quality references from Joel on Software

Someone posted a nice summary of links to information about the quality of workspace provided to software developers. "Perhaps it can be useful to other software developers in a position to influence managers or may someday be in a position to make decisions about workspace design themselves."

VoIP Has the Whole Industry Talking

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is projected to account for over 12% of all telephony revenues by 2009, according to Juniper Research.

The total market value for services using VoIP is forecast to grow almost ten fold over the next five years. In other words, VoIP will be at the center of convergence.

Although much attention has been paid to the more complex and "sexy" value-added services like video-on-demand (VOD) and online games, the biggest opportunity will be in voice services as broadband IP-voice takes over from traditional circuit-switched voice; driven by lower operating costs and competition between incumbents and new licensed operators.

Uploaded few 'Kovil' snaps to 'fotopages' .. nice one from Machi's Digi ..! Initially, the site thrown some database exception ... @last now it uploaded properly ..
