I just became  Live  2 days ago.  How was the experience?Well to tell the truth, I really am not sure.  It was more like test-and-see kind of thing.for me as I was already using the Live version  of Hotmail so I thought why not try this same for my messenger and spaces also?I wasn't really happy with the outcome after the switch but what really made me upset yesterday that the extensions of messenger were eating too many resources.  My cpu was running like to make a world record.  So I did what I could thought of at that time.  You are right.  I said bye bye to being Live and went back to being "normal" again with uninstalling everything "Live" with re-installing normal stuff.  In this attempt, I removed Live messenger and installed Messenger 6.2 .I was using ver7.5 before this so I thought I would upgrade it afterwards.  I also uninstalled all the extensions that were installed with the Live messenger.  Installation of 6...

I have done a little tweaking of my new Windows Live Space . If you saw it before, you will find that the title has been changed, a new tag line has been added.  Some positions are changed and I have added my entire favorite blog list which is already existing on my APEX website , Tripod website  and on my Blogger Blog . I have written some entries on my blog on Spaces but as the entries are entirely same over the other places so I request you to come on either my Blogger's Blog  or on my  WordPress Blog . Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted.  

No sleep didn't make me mad ;-).Actually I am talking about my MSN Space .I made this space about 2 years back.  I didn't do much work on it.  Its not because I didn't like it.  Yes I do,I really do but there are some things which are attached to it so I didn't pay much attention to it.  I know I know its a bad thing   :-(.So just when today I was surfing without any particular need,I stopped at a place which I usually ignored.  Windows has come up with Live Ideas in Windows  . I knew about it but never bothered to look into the roots of it.  So today I finally thought to see what this being "Live" is all about?So what I found?Well Windows is using this being Live for almost everything of its web products like HotMail, MSN, MSN Messenger,Spaces.  So I decided to use this Live feature to actually see what it can do?Well I started with Hotmail.Hmm so was it different?The answer is "I dnt know".If you are asking about the ...

After a long tour with some good memories.  This trip was much more tense and stressful than the previous ones.  This was more intense for me coz somehow I was feeling a little low this time and there was some tension in the mind which was not related to the assignment but had a huge impact on my concentration.  Anyway the assignment finished nicely and a smile was there on everyone's face who was a part of it in any direct or indirect matter.Thats the most relaxing thing I guess so in total I am :-).   So if you are following my blog on a regular basis, you know I left from my home at Ludhiana on 8th August to Delhi.There are 2 ways to go to Delhi,either by a train or by a bus.  Well I missed the first option coz I didn't have the booking for the train seat so I had to take the other option, right bus.  I didn't get any seat in the starting of the jou...

There are some emotions and feelings which cant be described with anything.  Still some words, when put together, they give those feelings a face, a shape.  Following words are not written by me.  I got them from a friend but I liked the wordings so much so thought I would share it with you all.  Its in Hindi language but I shall explain the meaning in English too.  These are the emotions of a guy who is trying to express his feelings after got a heart break from his beloved.  Just try to feel the pain underneath these words.  Have a read: Mere pyar se inkar hai tumko, Lekin jab duur chala jaunga to yaad aunga! Tere har dukh mein main shareek hona chahta tha, Akele jab gamon mein ghir jaogi to yaad aunga! Tere ashq main apni palkon par utha leta tha, Hath se khud jab inhen pochhongi to yaad aunga! Apne dukh mujh ko suna kar tum dil ko halka kar leti thi, Apne gam jab khud ko hi sunaogi to yaad aunga! Meri badkismati kar diya tune duur mujhko,...

From the last few days,there has not been any new edition over here.I have something which is not yet finished.As soon as it will,I shall write about it.I am going offline for few days for a very important assignment.I am a little tensed and in pressure as its a very crucial assignment.Wish me luck and pray for me coz I really need it.  

How one can say that the person sitting next to him/her is truly happy? Will you say that he/she really is coz he/she is constantly smiling and there is no sign of being sad on his/her face?That's all is it?This is a correct criterion to really tell about someone's happiness?It can be  true.  Who is smiling so much, there must be so much joy and happiness in his/her heart.  Yes it cant be denied then that person is really happy and enjoying his life.  But is this not possible that the person on whose face,you never see any sign of sadness, outwardly he is presenting himself being so much happy but in real, he is not happy at all?There may be so much of pain that he is keeping in that heart.  You cant judge it from that smile which you always find on the face.  You have to look inside of that p...

Oracle Documentation is among the most useful and most popular resource for anyone who wants to learn the know-hows of Oracle Database.  The importance of its can be judged from a quote from world's leading Oracle expert Tom Kyte ," If you read and retain just 10% of Oracle Documentation, you will know more than 90% of the people around you. " Earlier  for the access of  documentation, OTN  was the first place to go as it was a must to have a valid OTN username and password to access docs.  Now the most prominent question you would ask that what's the big deal in it? After all its just a username and password that one has to remember and it takes less than 5 minutes to create a new account.  But sadly some of us are not that patient even! So now from now, Oracle's documentation is made accessible to public and everyone is invited to come and access it.  The earlier requirement of OTN membership has now been removed and moreover, Oracle has co...

As you have already have noticed there is a list of my most visited websites and daily read blog maintained on my Personal APEX website  and on my Tripod website   . Besides these two places, I maintain it own my Blogger's Blog too. This includes which are not related to Oracle or anything related to IT even and also some very special and most popular sites of Oracle Database and Solaris Operating System.  I am always in search for the new and the best sites/blog which can be beneficial and useful for both the techno people as well as the those who have nothing to do with IT altogether.  So continuing the process, following are the latest editions in my favorite blog/site lists.  Hope you will find them useful for you.  Have a look: YouTube  - A very unique website which is having thousands of music videos hosted on it.  They come from all the artists, bands and music groups.  Great place to hear as well as see music. PL/S...

Marriage is one of the most beautiful things that can happen in anyone's life.  Having someone with you for the rest of life in all the moments, joys and sorrows gives an immense satisfaction beyond words. No no I am not yet married. Plans?No no plans are there too.  If you really ask me this is not something a must-do thing now for me.  Anyways I am not here to rant about my personal desire of getting married but this is about my closest friend who got engaged yesterday.  I am so much happy for him.  It just feels that it was yesterday only when we were kids and joined school together.  Been years since then, don't know where time has gone.  It feels so nice and a little strange to think about it now.  But that's the beauty of life isn't it?So as I was telling that my friend got engaged yesterday.  Both the guy and the gal were so much happy, were looking great together.  It was a great feeling to see someone so close tieing a knot...

As I said before when I wrote Few Words   and Once Again  that I am no where even near to be an artist and not trying to be too.  What ever is there in these lines, it is just what my heart says and feels about somethings. For me, it just giving words to my feelings so if there is some thing that is not right or doesn't make sense in an artistic way than just assume, it was never intended to be like that at the first place. Do let me know your comments for sure, good and bad, both are equally welcome.   I still remember the first day we met, I still remember the first words you said! I was alone, never met love ever before, You came, it felt as a wave met the shore! I felt contended, I felt complete, You were my every wish, everything I ever need! We started a journey  holding hands, Life became heaven as touched by a magic wand! There was happiness, there were only smiles, With y...

And tired!Yes I came back from my assignment last morning.There were couple of things that happened on this trip.Good or bad?Well I cant say exactly good or bad about all of them, yes some were really good that's for sure.I shall tell about them just after a while. How did the assignment job go? Yes one of the most important and best things that happened was that my assignment went well. I came back smiling and left smiles on the faces of all too who were associated with it.   So all of you who are regular here, they know this that I left on 13th of this month. Well I have to go to Delhi coz from there only one can catch the flight, either domestic or international. So my flight was from Sahara Airlines, supposed to fly at 19:50pm. Ok I was there at the airport at around 18:00pm.So far good. Well did the check in and all that and I was there at the waiting room. There were couple of other passengers there too going with me to Hyderabad. Time was coming nearer but there was not...

Some times it happens that you like something/someone so much and just can't live without that thing/person.  It can be anything.  It doesn't matter that it has to be a person only, it can be a song/place/piece of jewelry/anything & everything.  It happens with all of us isn't it? I am sure there must be something/someone without which/whom you too can't live without.  If you don't have yet anyone/anything which is having this special place in your heart/life than just wait.  Very soon it will come to you  coz you never know what you were missing till it doesn't come to you and you never realize what you have lost till the time it already has left you.  If you don't have anyone yet, just wait and watch coz you will come to know only when he/she would  be in front of you to amaze you.  Trust me its going to happen and it will.   Yes we all have or once had something/someone which we liked the most/loved so much.  But i...

There are a lot of bloggers who have moved from Blogger   to WordPress  and to some other sites too like Serendipity. Tim Hall, Doug Burns are just a few to name. Well I do have  my own replica WordPress blog which goes along with  my Blogger's blog . The latest move which I forgot to update in my blogs and my Tripod web site was of Pete Scott's blog.  Earlier it was on Blogger   but now its on WordPress . Well I must say that the new home is much better looking and nice. The only problem with the changing homes is that one has to constantly update their favorite links all the time but if you really like a particular blog/site than this much effort is not a very big deal :-).   PS:   I have added another blog on my favorite list.  Its the first blog that I have added which is completely about Solaris and is managed by  a Solaris veteran for his entire career. The blog is from Mike and is named as Mike's Solaris blog . Looks interest...

If you are thinking I am going to use some Alien language,no that's not the case here :-). I am going to share something which can be helpful if you read and write blog like me and then my views about a movie,yes Venom is the name of a movie.   There are times when we get hooked to a lot of  blogs and its not easy to cope up with all of them to find out the new enteries.Surely you  can subscribe with the RSS feeds on FireFox and Opera but what about when you would leave your desktop and would be traveling?What about when you have to reinstall the operating system and also your browsers? Would be a problem isn't it?So here is something which can be useful for you. Bloglines is an online feed management portal which takes care of the latest entries on your favorite blogs and would let you know how many new posts are there which you have missed since you last visited them.  Not just the blogs but also it can also take care of your favorite News, Comics, Email Newslet...

As you know that I was travelling so I coulnt catch up with my favorite blogs.I just finished all today.Wow!!There was alot that happened when   I wasnt around.But I managed to come along with all I guess :-).   About almost year and half ago,when I first started reading blogs, Tom Kyte's blog  was the first one which I read.Since then the list is growing continously. I had always used the Blog list of Tom's only to read my favorite ones ( leaving those which I dont read).Then Tom felt that list is just too long to maintain and it was a pain to modify the tempelate and republish the  entire blog.So now there is a "metablog" which has a complete list of the favorite blogs of mine.A little indirect way but still its ok :-).        

After 15 days of absence,I am back!Alrite so now I would tell where I was?Was waiting to know is it:-)?I was in Hyderabad for a training assignment.  I wont disclose the name of the company for whom I undertook this training assignment of 10G SQL and Pl/SQL.But I can surely tell you that its one of the biggest and best IT firms in the world and definitely one of the top 10,Fortune 500 companies.  Sounds exciting isn't it?Well I was really very excited too when I got the news that I am selected.  But with excitement,there was a huge pressure too that everything must went well and nothing unwanted must happen.  Thanks to the wishes of my nears and dears,nothing like that happened and everything went like a breeze.  Flights were ok too and so was the weather over there.  Its really really hot over here in North,especially in my city with the temperature touching 45 degrees but over there in Hyderabad,it was constantly 25 degrees with no humidity and pours...

I have a pretty important training assignment to take upon.So for the next few days,I shall be offline.Hope and wish everything goes fine and smooth.Fingers crossed! Cheers. Aman....
