MacBook

It was nice to have a look at macbook but it seems that apple computers also have lost the charm it used to have now with intel processor.. built in ...

but still the look and feel of aqua in the mac is totally charming ..

and now you can have windows in macbook also that could make things even easier...

but who would want to run that micro$oft programs in mac...

but still the options are open to the users.... he he :)

Where are we heading

It was really nice to be at mama's place after a long time.
Everyone is doing good and learnt that things could change a lot faster than you can expect. And its been quite some time that i have not written and don't know what to write and what not to.....

its getting more and more advanced in the computing world ...

i came to know that microsoft is also doing great jobs making everything available online ... like windows live and office live ... along with google making spreadsheet online but it seems that after some time you just need a connectivity and a browser to get your things done whereevery you are ... and it seems that one day a kiosk with computer and internet will be the office at your fingertips..

and this is making people slave of information technology... not only that lots of things and lots of people are dependent in this sort of technology which i guess is not good at least there should be some alternatives for this sort of things...

All the transaction of banks or any financial institution are through the technology of the future .. that you can not purchase or sell without the help of technology.. he he... great time will come when you just have to order the mechanical robot to get things done.....

you even don't need to type your commands in computer and seems that it willbe your efficient secretary............smart enough to suggest you to do this or that.... ha science fiction turing into reality...


-------------------------------

though it seems that i am going nuts with these stuffs but i just can't help and the society is going more liberal that that of earlier days...

As the technology is getting advance one sect is returning back to the primitive ways preserving and making things work the traditional way.


so where are we heading?????? this bugs me a lot

Technology has made life easier ???

I have been into IT stuff for quite some time and i ask myself has IT made our life simple or complex or are we getting much in geek stuff rather than being simple and living life comfortable....

But I have learned that the power of information has changed a lot ... i mean the knowledge could make your life much easier and faster for the betterment of yourself you can use this power to empower anything and anyone.

It seems that the war is going to hold the power .... the supreme leaders of the world are really enthusiatic about gaining the power and make all do the stuff they wanted...


----------------------------------------------------------

Anup just got back from Dubai and wanted to make some investement in doing some new project. His idea and enthusiasm made me think to start something new not just a crowd in the mass .... I guess what we do should be outstanding and be useful for the bigger mass and should benefit all....

i guess i am getting hypocrite -- win-win situation for all.. he he he

It's been quite a few days i have not been able to write my blog.....

but in these few days i have learnt that being busy for nothing is something really boaring and you get all the hassles for free....

But things are turning up right and we are working for the better.

Now the Loktantra have come this is going to benefit only a handful of people as everyone is worried about what next.

It seems that the election is going to held which is going to cost a lot of our resources to be spent in vain. Coz nothing seems be proper as the moment and the so called Netas are only after their ..........

One thing i liked most was the militia training, It will probably like going to army for two years training as in Israel or USA where you have to have basic minimum army training in case .....(anything comes up :) )

So this is been the culture of the maoist .... nice though and guess this might not bring the communal feelings in the people but still one have to consider his or her community as it is only the way to make betterment and counterbalance the adverse effect of this political movement at large on the society.

LINUX ...... LINUX..... LINUX... *nix

Don't know why open source guys join their hands and develop a really robust system will all the usable stuff for the user without having to go through the trouble of doing this and that to get a required system running .... like macos it is full and really easy on the part of user .. just check windows it is so easy to install and configure ... all gui...and top of it ... once doesn't need to have good knowledge of computer...

and this *nix versions with all the rubbish ... there is no such good desktop for the user ... lots of distros ... some have good and easy installation some have nice interface but still user have to learn lots of things to get started and make things work for him/her.

Why don't these people make it really simple for the users... and leave the indifference feeling about the works they are doing...

Take a example of Simple softwares like notepad .... lots of variation are there why don't they stick to one and make it flawless.... not like gedit , kdeit , gvim , nano, emacs .. why all just plain text editor with some plugable stuff for developers and advanced users... this could make life much comfortable for the normal user.

I have writing all this with the view that one day open source could come to a single point where it would be like windows mac or os2 or solaris where the user gets all the comfort using the computer.

Now only, Ubuntu 6.06 is released with the ease of installation at the same time i came accross ZenWalk a distro based on slackware with all the user needs.

There are lots of distro to make the user confused.... with different utility in different versions......... and on top of that the versions doesn't have backward or forward compatibility

".... so nuts of open source freaks...."

Virus Virus Virus

It was really surprising to know that most of the window users are complaining about the computer being infected with virus. But still they are happy to use Micro$oft windows and related softwares. Not only that there were more problems and some could lose data even though they join hands with Micro$oft to endeavour the benefits of IT.

Basically it seems that Linux users don't complain about the virus but still they must be aware of trojans ... that others could steal their data...

these stuffs are not realted with the users like me to be aware of virus or trojan i just need my system working fine and no trouble should be there for me to use and get my work done.


Linux and other open source software may be much better than Micro$oft or proprietory at some point but what about the future when this sort of things happen ...

Founders leaving OSU Open Source Lab

So the risk is one and one but still one can go with Micro$oft as it is continually providing support and development is not stopped.

---------------------------------------


Fifa world cup.... the enthusiasm has died... may be the time is not right....

Everyone is supporting me for the sake of my goodness ... thanks to them...

Nice to chat with vickey he is one kind of geek and making fuss about smaller things that you could have ignored but still he is nice guy with sense of humor.

He is having a problem with ego about using open and free softwares , wouldnot go for proprietory softwares and he made me understand that the soln should be something which users may not care about ... only the outcome have to be considered.....

We have worked quite hard to make some reasonable difference in Nepali Language Computing but still lots more to do as Vickey pointed out that much of the complex script processing is not fixed .... and keyboard layout have flaw which needs to be corrected ... have to update the glibc which is the major portion for now. Still the fonts for nepali language have to be developed and existing ones to be fixed and managed.

Not only that, the works that we are doing is not syncronized with the outerworld as it is not incorporated in all versions and distribution of LINUX.

So learning and gaining new expreiences in the web makes things more worse than you could think of.


--------------------------------

Had a hectic day ... writing about gnome and translation stuff and working at office on Saturdays also makes you really boared .......


But the day was really gloomy with rain and cloudy. Even though it was really nice to be in a cozy room with internet and having to chat with friends and doing some new stuff ...

Learned about google spreadsheet . Nice stuff the Google Labs have developed and heard about office live from microsoft .... still have to check and find out more about it.

Vista OUT with Google invading

Long awaited Vista is out for beta testing and i have planned to use and learn more about the features of vista ....

Not only that i guess it will the os of the future .. but still have to rethink.....

coz any os with a simple browser will do the trick now ... as ...

google says...

we can have spreadsheet online from google and other stuffs like
Google Browser Sync, all of your browser settings are stored in your Google Account, and then shared across all computers that have the extension installed.



So it seems that the the need of more powerful os with lots of application is not needed anymore have to check on more of google stuff

simple as it looks just any os with a browser and net connection of course will do all the trick.....

hopefully the IT will be available for all in coming days ....

Naya Nepal --- New Nepal

I hardly see any changes from the movement in Nepal.

The only thing i see is the expenses of the JANATA that is going to happen.

The names that is being changed from Shree Panch ko Sarkar to Nepal Sarkar would be costing much more than one can imagine ... that i mean to say that what nuts is it to change the name ... all the letterheads all the stamps logos and what else ... the currency that is being used all over Nepal so whats the fun about "Naya - Nepal"

It is going to be much of the reform work.. but still the moha for kurshi is still with the what so called netaji

Any way my days are going on well with a bit of project works that i have committed .

Lots of people have to consider the fact that Loktantra as everyone is saying is not what they are going to get in the end..... Its all their effort that is going to be wasted in some form ....:(

But optimistically it is good to have a change but as i presume the change should not be sudden voilent or even drastic.

Nice Evening @ Milee's Wedding Party

The day was really gloomy it was raining all day long . i had been out without raincoat and getting wet , the day really hectic.

The work i was involved was not complete but the day was so boaring that i wouldnot even want to think about anything. i really had a bad day.

I even didn't go to nabins place and couldnot even make my time to call him .

But i will surely go tomorrow to cheer him up with his work.

i still have to make things up and have to cover my time ...

MPP was nice place to work with but i felt i am doing injustice to the office and its staff that i feel that it would be best to quit the job and start over once again.

The day past with all the thoughts that i have to get along with new stuffs and have to do all that takes my experience for the betterment of myself.

So came the evening , got a gift for milee went to her party ....

Giri introduced with his friends and everyone was newar and all of sudden with out my consent i was dragged in their group with the discussion they are putting .....

Now a days everyone is really worried about the political movement going on.

At the end of the day i had some quality time.......

Meeting @ Read

It was my new experience with the DigiDAG Team members of having attending the meeting at READ premises ...

Nice to learn about the OKN projects been deployed in various outlets of Nepal in the form of Telecenters and disseminating the knowledge and information.
The ideas generated would help the rural mass to put the power of knowledge to the local people in the local language.

Not only that i was able to learn about the politics that is going in the country and got some knowledge about the different versions of the word ...Before i thought the words mean same but have different meanings with the different views.

LOKTANTRA -

JANATANTRA

PRAJATANTRA

and top of all is the GANATANTRA

and new things and ideas are generated while talking with people you closely know but the sharing of ideas is great.

everyone is talking about knowledge management nowadays i could now get the feel of necessity of this tool to make oneself in the field ....

The Big Day

It seems that the buerocracy has taken a turn with the movement from the people to make it "LOKATANTRA" . But still the things from the past have the effect on the lives of the people. As far as i have learned that the people to success should have some knowledge of leadership for making it happen.

My concern was not the politics and it is happening in Nepal. Not only Nepal it seems that the personal developement with the turning time has to be utilized with the proper advent of the conditions to make it favourable for oneself.

The benefit from the use and motivate people to make the things worse than better is going on.

These days people have been so aware of things that are changing. This is not related with politics only in every field there must be development for the betterment of the country and people have to learn to cope with the situation.

As for the IT as i am involved with the development of localized stuff that will reach the mass who don't have literacy in english people have opportunity to use and make benefit in other areas from the use of IT.

Computer as every people say will make things simpler and easier is not what it counts but the knowledge from IT to be used in various sector will empower the people to make things much simpler and easier.

After all i was able to summarize that the power lies in the knowledge and information one could get and update with the technology.

Trying to write my blog after a long time it seems that i have lost words to put in my blog and trying to keep up with the newer stuff in technology that also in IT .

you don't know the things that gets changed with moments in the field of IT.

I was really fascinated with the views of people to be able to use the computer in their own language ...

I have gathered some knowledge of how people want to grow in their respective field and have the concept to stay outstanding in the society.

This new technology have created some awareness that knowledge is such a power that made them even powerful to rule their respective field of work.
