You get dejected, depressed and lose all your hopes that everything got ruined. You live in darkness of the past, until one day you say to yourself “Enough! You got to get moving”… And, you start moving into that unknown future, with fear still in your mind…. You try to take one step at a time, but you haven’t gotten over your prior experiences. Yet, when you start getting over past and start moving forward with confidence, it happens again! You’ll land in the Square One again, now with no knowledge on how, when and why….

This time, you begin your journey again into those unknown lands, but instead of fear, this time you have that strange confidence – “Not to fear… I can get over even if the worse happens again!”

The top 5 things in Flash that annoys me daily:

1. Browser shortcuts (like, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T) do not work when focused on flash elements, since it consumes all the keyboard events. I’d expect it to at least pass them to browser if it doesn’t handle a key event, but it doesn’t even bother.
2. Zoom doesn’t work – Ctrl++, Ctrl+- are useless. You have to read the content in SWF in the published size itself. You cannot increase or decrease it size.
3. Middle Click doesn’t work – I can’t open a link in new tabs. Opening links in new tabs from SWF is a small-size challenge.
4. I can’t find the text I’m looking for with Ctrl + F. You can’t just search in Flash content, unless the SWF itself contains a search box & search implementation.
5. Its pretty famous & is gonna stay there longer. And the worst part – everyone uses it in their site, though there is absolutely no need for it (making my browsing experience annoying)

Disclaimer: The above view is completely personal and has absolutely nothing to do with anything (including friends & employer also) else.

Let me start with what happened during last few months. Actually, many of them I wish they didn’t happen or they happened other way..

• I tried to get a driving license at Noida, but failed because of lack of local address proof. Seriously, going back to my hometown just for getting a license – doesn’t it sound stupid?
• With no license, my dream of a getting a bike got wiped away !
• I’m getting bored (read as vexed, irritated and so on…) of Noida ! What a stupid place it is !! Isn’t it?
• Laptop is troubling me a lot…. Currently under repair. Wish I get it back soon!
• Lost all the contacts from the mobile!

And the good part: Google I/O 2010 brought back my interest in Web & Mobile development, due to which, I decided to spend atleast 40 hours in the coming couple of months learning Android. I’ve also decided Learning is going to my major focus area for a couple more years!!

So, wish me luck in putting things into execution !

So, whats in the video?

• It has some humor in it, especially the first 150 secs. I’m sure a few smiles you’d certainly escape from your tender lips..
• She talks how ‘being poor’ influences (or atleast attempt to) your life and all in it including career, passion etc. etc.
• And the core part – The benefits of failure. I think she had put this part in action in a great way, or else, after watching this video, why did I desperately want to fail in a big way despite my fear of failure??

Now that I mentioned I fear failure, let me tell what my mind tells me right now. “You do not fear the failure itself, but your fear its after-effects. Its capable of taking everything fro you !”. But my heart is encouraging me – “When you had done everything from scratch, why do you fear to do it again? It’d easier this time.. !!”

I know it sounds funny, but really can’t help. Perhaps, this is why people call – “An idle brain is the Devil’s workshop”

A post from me after a long time, and this time I’ve news to share. I bought a domain name for myself [not a great domain name, though ]. I found a place to host my site temporarily for a few months..

As can obviously be seen, this is powered by wordpress. I’ve taken a bit time to import all my previous entries into this blog [from Blogger, Y! Blog]. In case, u need any help regarding the first step to migrate from blogger to wordpress, I’m happy to help you…

The main purpose to get a domain is: I do not want to lose touch with web development & i wouldn’t be laxy if its my OWN domain / site. Now that I’ve got a domain for myself, I’m planning to host a few small services on my site. Keep looking this blog once in a while. [I suggest to go for the RSS feed].

Looking forward to develop for my site..

• It was heavy-weight toolkit.
• It loads all the JS files (summing to 700KB) even though not at all necessary…
• Requires a high efficient system .. An ordinary system cannot work well Dojo …
• It takes up all the RAM of the system, hanging the system for a while….

So, I thought its better to shift to some other toolkit — May be JQUERY is better ……
Let me try that also….

My first earning reached my account 3 days ago… It really feels good to have your first earning coming into your hands…. I was happy ( take it as superlative degree of joy)….. Its not a big amount ( just 14000+ bucks) but still I was happy…. No work and still you get paid… Who wouldn’t love it??

I decide not to save any part from that….. And also not to spend it on anyone else…. Just ME…..
i wanna spend it all for myself……. The immediate next day, we all (Praveen, Suresh & me) rushed to B.F. (Brand Factory)…. Got hands on all kind of things there ……

Its really a good thing to : SHOP AS YOU WISH & SWIPE YOUR VISA….

The first problem faced is ACCOMMODATION. We went on searching for that for two complete days and finally got settled in an house….

Coming to office part, its pretty cool…. Its different from what I expected… People are having fun there….. Got my PC (worst kind) at the end of my first week.
Waiting for my project to begin ….
