Bicycling to office - Hercules Ryders

Image
Now more than 7 months into bicycling office, am seeing growing interest in folks who wants to ride to office, indeed a better choice for health, wealth and environment. Just recently saw a guy coming to EGL with full bicycle gear, good going bro!!!. Now an official parking slot for bicycle is coming up, (yet to be announced from the concerned people officially, since at-least a year). More than twenty plus now ride to office and that number would hopefully keep growing. I am very much satisfied with my bicycle, Hercules Ryders, its been a worty investment. Plus I sold my Fiero bike and don’t feel the need of it :). Riding to Manyata and back (10 km in half an hour, how long does it take for you in car :)? ) Riding in the rain wearing rain coat (realizing a dream)

Formatting a Datapower

The datapower box that our team owns is like rented a technology showroom, where different teams request access to the box and we make domains for them where they play with the box and then finally produce something that they would like to show to customers/partners. From the last one year this showroom has seen various technical scenarios being displayed, the shelves within the showroom filled with artifacts one by one. Till on fine day we decided to clean not just the shelf but the entire showroom. In reality its not easy to clean the showroom without cleaning the shelf, but this is IBM ;), we can clean the shelf and the showroom at one go. For this login to box via CLI or the serial cable, go to CO mode then flash mode and then run the command ‘reinit firmware_name’ (the firmware should be uploaded to the box prior to doing this). Once the box is back after a reboot, the box is just like fresh from factory, you would have to login using the factory set username and password and acc...

WTC - 2008

Image
WTC memories of sessions delivered including SOA Governance, ‘What’s new with DataPower’, ‘MQ DataPower lab’ with and helping with ‘DataPower – WTX’ lab. SOA Governance sessions popped up interesting discussions, from technology, organization culture, organizational structuring, governance for an organization with spaghetti like structure, COE etc. DataPower received admiration from its ease of use and wire speed processing. WTC also provided participants chances to take a shot at certifications for free, so my self and Aru (Arumugam Maruthanayagam ) went to a partner to give a boost to the test takers and how to plan for certifications. A reason to hope that the team would do well, WTC went well, and at the last day the team lead and my self had a chat, he was very happy with the outcome with each person taking up multiple certifications. Then there were prizes for those who had maximum marks for certification done on a day. Pleased I was to see one of my favorite folks from that team...

Message For Mankind From the Merciful of the Universe

Image
Mumin(believer) is some one who loves and is loved, there is no good in a person who does not love and is not loved. The best among the humans is the one who is most beneficial to mankind One day prophet came towards a gathering and asked “Do you want to know who the best among you is and who the worst among you is”, the gathering remained silent so prophet repeated the question three times. Then one Sahabi from the gathering said “ O the prophet of our creator kindly tell us who is the best and the worst amongst us”. Prophet said “The best among you is whom people expect good and feel secure that you would not harm them, the worst among you is the one whom they do not expect any good and they are always fearful regarding your evil” The one who invites to something raising communal feelings is not among us, one who wages wars because of community is not among us, one who dies for community he is not among us. The world community is used because of lack of another proper...

Choosing a House

Image
People have different conceptions regarding the place they would like to live in, comfort, lighting, ventilation, space, amenities, gadgets, neighborhood to name a few. There are four classes for an abode. 1. A bare house. Intent:-A minimal structure where some one can live in, an example is the picture given below. 2. A comfortable house Intent:-A house of strong construction with lighting, fan, air conditioning etc. provides the person with comfort. 3. A Luxurious house Intent:-Is a house with all of the above, the distinguishing factor here is ‘the look/feel good factor’ where the resident looking at the house feels happiness in the heart All the above forms of abode are permissible and within the pleasure of our creator, now you would be wondering what the 4th class is? 4. The Other House A house that is built with the purpose of show off, to create in minds of people an image of affluence and superiority such a house is reason for displeasure of our creator. With this as the...
