Synchronizing

With too much of data, we all have USB storage. So there is a need to synchronize this data. One way is to copy the data. But with sizes increasing to GB, it is not meaningful to do full copy every week.

I found two products on the web. Both have both a free version and a paid version. I want to share this information. Please do use them. Save time and use the saved time to watch you tube videos. :)

1. GoodSync.
2. Allway Sync.

Ghost of MJ

I read this story in the Straits times.

Went to the youtube to search. And yes it shows something. A faint black figure moving. God only know what is it. Is it MJ's ghost or something else.

See the video here and if you are in a hurry move to 8:20 place.

Google OS

Google announced yesterday that it is serious on launching an OS by the middle of next year. It will be called Chrome OS. By the way some facts.

- Chrome is a browser from Google. Available since feb this year.

- Google already has Android, an OS running on Handhelds. But they claim there will no overlapping.

In my opinion, though it looks like a small piece of IT news, but there will be lot of shake up. Seeing GMail, Google Earth, we all know that Google is capable of delivering lightweight, efficient piece of software. To be honest, I am waiting for the OS.

Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Sad to read today that Jacko is not there anymore in flesh and body with us. I am no big fan of him, but during my school and college days it was a craze to dance like him. Every year in the school there used to be someone who used to do dance like him.

Anyway he was too young and on second round of reviving his career. This news was really a shock.

T20 World Cup

T20 is over and Pakistan has won, with Sri Lanka as the runners up. I tried asking myself, did we lack in practice, or did we lack in number of players or did we lack in strategy.  We played plenty of cricket in IPL. We also had so many players in the IPL.  That meant we had everything, right from choice of players, strategy as well as experience. Compared to us, the other countries just had handful of players, of-course for Australia.

So after lot of thinking I came to the conclusion that we should not relate IPL to world cup. IPL is IPL and World Cup is World Cup. Just because we have IPL should not give us the comfort of thinking that we have any advantage. So averages of IPL should not be used to determine winning edge in World Cup. IPL has its own merits, ICL has its own merits and so on.

Hope that we win the next T20.

T20 Loss to England

We are over-rated. And all of the team thought that no one could possibly defeat us. The first loss to West Indies should have been an eye opener. It is true that we have played more T20 games than anyone in the world, but slowly the world is catching up.

I think this loss to England is a reminder that we should not be overconfident. Too much of cricket and lack of strategy and we paid the price. Dhoni is similarly overrated, just like when Azhar, Saurav Ganguly or Dravid were winning, we equated them to Cricket greats.

Sometimes it feels that cricketers want to make all the money by playing as much as they can in as short time as possible.

Tennis had burnouts, looks like cricket will soon have the same.

Microsoft Small Basic

There are some fans of BASIC language out there (like me), here is some good news for you. Microsoft has a .Net based small basic.

The syntax is like the BASIC earlier but it is object oriented. Learning is fun. Hobby Programming.

Comes with the interpreter plus IDE.

Visit this site, download, get the docx/pdf learning guide and have fun this summer.

High Availability Manager

In Storage world, data is the driver. The purpose of storage vendors is to keep the data safe. Then innovations started. At the most basic level, RAID was offered to keep the disks (or LUN’s)  assigned to host (OS or clusters) safe. Then came the issue of availability, So there was dual pathing. But then the entire box could be a single point of failure. Here enters High Availability Manager from Hitachi Data Systems (HDS). So if for what ever reason either due to regular maintenance, or disaster or disaster testing or any other reason for that matter, if we need a failover from one USPV to other, there is a solution now. Failover always could have been done on the Storage Box, but for hosts to failover, it had to be done manually. Now even this is automated.

So you let the second USPV takeover from the first, all at the back end, front end, everything runs the way it was. I think this is not just an incremental jump. Good news for customers. Better sleep.

Bollywood Movies

This year 2009 till now (Jan-April) almost 70 movies have got released. My numbers are based on the site here. But yet we don’t see a single movie that has become hit.

Have the directors lost the formula for success? Or Are the movies not released well? No advertisement or no pre release promos etc. What ever it does not sound good for viewers.

Probably we need some magic to work in movies. Last year by this time we already had Jodha Akbar declared a major success.

Hindi TV Serials

Just like all of us have identity crisis in our lives some times, so is Hindi TV Serials having now a days. If you watch the serials and compare them to what we had on Doordarshan 20 years back, it makes us sad. Some points.

• even after 20 years the TV industry has failed to reach a maturity in making serials. It is a shame.
• Years back serials used to be made on stories picked from Hindi literature. Today they are written with absolute zero literary value.
• There are so many (hundreds to thousands) so called actors churned from so called acting schools, who don’t mind acting in any role. Commercial interest is the only driver.
• None of the private channels have any time slot for education or programs for children. Just soaps with women fighting with women wearing expensive jewellery, livng in palatial houses and wearing makeup 25 hours a day.
• Sad that we don’t even have original songs. Remix Remix Remix.

Have we reached the pit or is the quality going to fall further. I have no answers. But seems like TV has lost quality. Other than making money nothing seems to work anyone. And reality shows, better to be silent.
