Dos and Donts of google chrmoe incognito

Here is simply put what google chrome incognito mode ( aka. porno mode) can or cant do

I like the last point

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:

• Websites that collect or share information about you
• Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
• Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
• Surveillance by secret agents
• People standing behind you

Techie Quote

Was looking for putting a quote on my skype, found some interesting techie quote here

Murphy's Law on Computing:

1. When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.

2. When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.

3. The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least expect to find it.

4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.

5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

6. To err is human... to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human, it is downright natural.

7. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

8. If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.

9. A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.

10. The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.

11. A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want to do.

Kronoberg - In search of castle to visit near Vaxjo - sweden

After work on a Thursday evening me and Simon started in search of a castle near by.

We worked on one place Kronoberg and travelled there in the evening.

The castle was beautiful with water all around it, but it was locked so could not go inside.
However the ride county side was beautiful, with lakes, greenery and lot of trees as ususal.

ConnetNow - thatz a good one for web conferencing

I had a 2 hours web conferencing session with few colleagues oversea over ConnectNow .

The tool is very good and it got a lot of good features.

It is very useful if you want to do web conferencing with one or two people.

You can share a particular application or total system using the connectnow.

What I don't like though is the maximum number of people in the conference is 3.
Isn't that a little less

I got my schengener visa

This morning i received my passport with stamp.

Good thing is that we applied for a single entry, but they issues a multiple entry for 6 months.
German consulate do give surprises at time :-)

Planning to have some good time in Spain for a weekend when i am in gib.

Visa interview in chennai

To acquire a visa for my business trip to sweden, attended interview at german counslate in chennai.

I had 5 hours before I take my evening flight back to hyderabad. I wanted to spend sometime on the streets of chennai and do some shopping. Because of the heat and the humidity, the only thing I could buy was a hand kerchief and wipe the sweat out of my face :-(

What all I wanted is a place where I get some air conditioning.
I got into an internet cafe to escape the heat, and writing this blog after a long time.

Another thing about the trip to chennai was
It has been a total different expirience talking to people in 'Tamil' (anopther indian language).
And I think, I feel better in London than other state in India. Such a strange expirience.
Not to criticise any one, it is just that in London i have a common language in which I can speak to the people, in Chennai I do not have that.

Hopefully I will be posting more alteast during my travel. I have a big tour coming up soon. Ofcourse depending on when i get my visa

How to Shutdown when you are connected to a machine using remote desktop connection

Quite a few ways as mentioned in the below blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2006/10/20/849575.aspx

Of course excuting "shutdown -t 0 -r " on cmd prompt or run works fine on XP.

sudo - nice error message

Other day when I was playing with "sudo" I found an error message which was interesting
I intentionally issued a command on console, just to see what happens. Below is the error message from sudo

ssh XXXX@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd sudo "ls /etc"

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility

Though I felt the message a little harsh, Yes error handling is an art.

How to export mysql database - command line

Exporting mysql database through command line
$ mysqldump -u -p >
# will prompt for the password of the user
This will export the complete database.

If you would like to export only a set of tables you can give the list of tabels
$ mysqldump -u -p >

It is that simple.
