OOPs.. I Don't have to do it again

In powerpoint.. did it long ago when my mother was giving me tuition on cooking :)

Our 5 year old Acer Extensa laptop is being dismantled by Nandan. 2 years and a month old, and he can use the windows key to pop up the start menu, use the touchpad to go to his favorite program (skype, to check if Gaan-ma is Off ine or not). Other shenanigans include opening all sites one by one in the favorites bar, playing minesweeper, changing skype profile image, changing windows user image (dont know how he manages this one), playing Reversi at expert level setting (maybe watching me on it most of the time) Recently though I found two of the keys missing. After searching and finding the parts, the problem was how to put them back! I cannot offer any images here, though it would have been helpful. To fit the key back, follow these steps - Take out all pieces, dont leave anything on the keyboard. Usually there are 3. The button, and two other parts. - The 2 parts apart from the button will fit into each other like an X - In the case of Acer keyboard, one piece will go into the othe...

But works perfectly in safe mode! Works with external mouse instead of touchpad! Wierd. Full scan did not find a virus. Including a rescue disc scan booting from Linux ;) Was getting perplexed and frustrated. The system became unresponsive the moment the username password screen came up. Most posts pointed to a likelihood of failed driver. The problem of all things was the BATTERY! Apparently due to age, it was not providing enough power for the keyboard and mouse. Also it would work if you disable the Microsoft ACPI compliant control from the Device Manager. Best option is to replace battery.

Been using for about 2 months .. Newness and excitement is wearing off :) Still polishing after a dirty drive though. Engine could have had more power. Had opted for the 1.3 JTDM (the smallest diesel for the model), so cant really complain. Has the nasty habit of stalling when moving off even at the slowest of speeds. Looks are nice. No denying!

Lately I have been doing some thinking on the 'action' part of Objects. Objects have properties. But how do you describe an action or an occurrence? When the accelerator is pressed, the car moves. One way I thought is that there could be an Observer object. The Accelerator is subscribed to the Observer. Upon Creation, Update or Delete of the target object, say A, a sequence of actions have to take place. I was trying to find a structure for this. Also CRUD events of A can be initiated by itself or another object B So to start off, there has to be a table Id -> unique eg= 7 Action -> Create/update/delete TargetObj-> A CallerObj-> A for event id 7, properties of [A], say A1,A2,A3.. have to be populated with values. The structure for this operation needed a lot of thought and was quite frustrating. (Yes I know exact same thing has been done before by someone, but I cannot find that information, nor is there anyone to guide) Ok, getting back. The key conclusions I deri...

Lucky chap can get a newer car. ..Not that he can complain about the Corsa Bit on the expensive side, low on practicality with the 2 doors and stuff.. but then its only one life that you got and might as well turn some heads during the time you are around ;) I hope the blue eyed blondes in kindergarten take notice of the little naughty coming in the red car. Have booked the Alfa 3 weeks or so ago. Red as in the pic, leather seats with some camel shade, 17'' alloys, Alfa DNA were included in the Distinctive version. 1.3 diesel engine as im not much into speed. 3-4 month wait for delivery!

This was one funny review..and I fully agree with the person who wrote it. Made me think of the similar pattern in Indian films where the protagonists are invariably of the upper class with appropriate surname - If NOT; then the character necessarily has to have certain undignified mannerisms that point to where he/she came from. -- How can anyone seriously criticize this film? Well, some people can, but that’s not my point. The point is that this is the greatest American film since “Birth of a Nation.” Watch in awe as Scarlett and Ashley pine for the bygone days when the soft high sound of Negro laughter rises like the Louisiana marsh mist from the decrepit, rat-infested slave quarters swimming in lice and feces. Chortle with Rhett as he sprays misogyny across Georgia like an alley cat with a urinary tract infection. Pray with the Confederacy as it bravely attempts to defend time-honored traditions of patriarchal subjugation, racist contempt for human life and belligerent arrogance b...
