TinyDisk

TinyDisk, a complete, shared filesystem built on to of TinyURL. TinyDisk is a program from saving and retrieving files from TinyURL and TinyURL-like services such as Nanourl. It overlays a write-once-read-many anonymous, persistent and globally shared filesystem. Once something is uploaded, only the database admin can delete it. Everyone can read it. No one can know who created it. Think of it as a magical CD-R that gets burned and placed on a network.

If you're not familiar with TinyURL, it's a URL mapping service that let's you create a small, easily emailed URL to replace a long complicated one.

TinyDisk is a demonstration by Acidus. TinyDisk shows that anything that stores anything on the Web can be used to store something else by encoding the something else into the Web-based storage system. In the case of TinyDisk, it's a Web-based file system that slices up a file, encrypts it, and stores it out on TinyURL

trip Kuratha !

Am I travelling a lot now-a-dayz ? May be.!! (even may not?? confusing ..!!) But, not daily or regularly (as like our mrkg. mannaaru's??), but definitely here and there, even with my current working culture. ??

Rite!!. then, What neXt ?? Am I enjoying those trips really ? Again, tough question. It depends !! (mood, thinking, liking ??)...

Guess, have seen the latest "Flickr Dreamz" snaps, in the right side panel ?? Mmm .. the recent trip with my team (first time), which was originally planned to "Top Slip" (trekking !!), which was slipped .. and changed to "Kuratha" (near PARSON VALLEY, Ooty).. this time, didn't eXpect, but really cool & nice memories ! Thx. to my Guyz, who were all behind in arranging this ..


few fotos snapped during that trip are there in Dreamz Flickr "
tripkuratha"!!


Dam Water ! DSC08284 dull yellow flower ?


Here's the comment from "Siva" about the trip,

Its been a fantastic tour at PARSON's VALLEY and we enjoyed a lot in the those days...

[...] Bathing in the lucid steam.. Really cool ..
[...]
Trekking under the moonlight,
[...]
Panoramic view at Western catchment,
[...]
Campfire past midnight... and
[...]
the list goes on .... sure will be the nonsuch, nonpareil reminiscence of our life..

Few other interesting things in my memory,

->> Hot Chaya (tea?) while bathing !
->>
Isai Ganam by "Sri.., Jegi.., Jerry.." & Brother "Ilaya Deva".
->>
Aattam, Attagasam & Amarkalam by "Nimmi".
->> "Shivaji" tree ..?
->>
No rain in those rainy days, wherever we were !!.
->> Do you know tamil ?? yes, Read challenging Tamil by "Sri..", includes AV's "Karuvaachi Kaviyam" with the same slang. Good.!! (Hey, It seems like "Junoon" tamil ?? Is't so ? Can I ask the same to Vairamuthu ? ) But, funny stuff was, read " .. Amaithiyindri .." (instead of "Anumathiyindri" ?) @ Avalanche entrance.
->> more .. more ..

Trip starts with Tempo breakdown (puncture!) and ends with Brake failure (finishing touch!). But, returned safely.. (??)

Master Returns !

Tendulkar engineers a rollicking start, yes "Little Master" back in action .. Lovely Half Century !! ...

[SR Tendulkar (not out) 57 (59) 4x7 6x1]

Update : 31.2 : Maharoof to Tendulkar, OUT: got'm! good length delivery outside the off stump, hint of swing, Tendulkar drives away from his body and ends up with a thick edge, Sangakkara dives full length to his right and takes a fantastic catch - end of a wonderful innings

[SR Tendulkar c Sangakkara b Maharoof : 93 (96) 4x9 6x2]

Anyway, fantastic return by Master .. eXpecting to continue the same in coming matches ..!! India 350/6 with "Captain Wall"s knock of 85(of Jus' 63 balls) not out.. amazing !!

Airports in India To Get Free Wi-Fi

The story is that all Indian airports will have free Wi-Fi to keep India technologically on top:

The two articles referencing this are both a little vague about what?s precisely happening. Several airports in Tamil Nadu now have free Wi-Fi according to this article; another article from India suggest airports throughout the country will add it.

But, somebody mentioned in his blog like "...it might be an error in word choice, and they meant through the Tamil Nadu state..." Is it so ?

Mmm .. Anyway .. Great INDIA. Can I avail this soon ? Will see. !!

Accept no limits

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.-- As A Man Thinketh

You are not limited to the life you now live. It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this moment.

Any time you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts
.

I love the story of George Dantzig that Cynthia Kersey wrote about in Unstoppable. As a college student, George studied very hard and always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignment. It took him several days to work through the two problems, but finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the homework on the professor's desk the next day.

Later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years.

Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.

Google Blog Search !

Now Google has "Blog Search" (beta!!) tool (Search blogs from all over the web!!) for the blogger.com blogs, after Technorati brought in their Blog Search feature.

The Advanced search option gives you whatever you can ask for; search for posts in a particular language, by an author, safe search and so on. This would certainly delight the blogger.com users around the world !!

Crunkie !!


You walk into a Chinese restaurant and your phone buzzes. It's a blog post from a friend with a simple message: Avoid the duck. This is one vision of future blogging from Qualcomm CEO-elect Paul Jacobs, who just stopped by our office. (He's the one on the left in the photo).

This new type of posting is linked to a certain location. It's called a
Crunkie. The idea is that you can leave location-based posts in certain places for your friends. And they pop up when your friends appear.

So... Soon there will be no more need to carve messages on restaurant tables or scrawl them on bathroom doors.

The crunkie is the brainchild of
Wavemarket, an applications company that Qualcomm has invested in.

early roaming !

One Thing !!


Brand Autopsy has a few excerpts ,

"... Average managers play checkers, while great managers play chess. The difference? In checkers, all the pieces are uniform and move in the same way; they are interchangeable. You need to plan and coordinate their movements, certainly, but they all move at the same pace, on parallel paths. In chess, each type of piece moves in a different way, and you can’t play if you don’t know how each piece moves.

Great managers know and value the unique abilities and even the eccentricities of their employees, and they learn how best to integrate them into a coordinated plan of attack..."

about the recently published book on management "The One Thing You Need to Know" by Marcus Buckingham
