Huge list of free & open source applications.

Mashable.com has compiled a truly extensive list of free, open source applications with links to downloads and/or developer sites. While the list is hardly focused on education, nor is it exhaustive, it’s a great place to start for schools looking to save money on licensing costs and start using open source software. It even includes quite a bit of Windows software, so this isn’t just for budding Linux geeks.

Want to cover personal or small business finance with an accounting or real-world math class? Check out their 12 financial apps. Graphics design without Adobe or Autocad? You bet - try any of the 44 listed programs. Care to teach customer relationship management (CRM) in those business and marketing classes? This site lists 18 CRM applications.

The usual productivity suspects are here as well and it serves as a nice who’s who of open source.

Social Bookmarking

Tired of importing your existing bookmarks from one browser to another? Tired of syncing of all your bookmarks in one place?

Here is the solution : Social Bookmarking.

No more Bookmarks > Bookmark this page or Favorites > Add Favorite.
Today you can access your bookmarks from anywhere in the world and from any browser.
You can also share your bookmarks with friends, and see their bookmarks.

Some popular social bookmarking sites are del.icio.us, technorati, furl, digg, slashdot, etc.
If you are new to social bookmarking, I suggest you start with delicious. Go to the delicious homepage, create an account for yourself. Install the "TAG" and "del.icio.us" buttons on to your browser once you create your account. You are now ready to save bookmarks using delicious and share them with the world. Whenever you want to bookmark a certain page, hit the "TAG" button and then save the page on delicious. This bookmark is for you and the world to see. You also get a URL for yourself such as http://del.icio.us/[username]. Pass this URL to others. Once you save a page, you can also see the list of other users who have bookmarked the same page.

Social bookmarking enables you to:

  • Share your bookmarks
  • Access today's hot topics
  • Access your friend's favorites
  • Determine if your site is popular

Usual shell command lines translated for windows.

I've discovered that the windows command line is far from being poor.
For some aspects I would even say that cmd.exe may be not less powerful than sh.
Here is a list of usual command I use translated to windows command tool.
Hope this help someone people crying for awk while doing scripting on windows ,  should have a closer look to "FOR /?" :-)

Unix Performance info commands.

The basic list of KEY tools historically available for monitoring
performance applies to nearly any Unix/Linux distribution, including the
following partial list of common utilities used ... following the basic
breakdown of computing subsystems :

** CPU / Kernel Utilization :

--> vmstat (vm system cpu and kernel utilization metrics ** a great
starting pt **)
--> mpstat (multi processor .. per cpu performance statistics)

** Memory / Kenel Utilization :

--> vmstat
--> swap
--> top

** I/O Performance

--> iostat (Standard IO.. ufs, .. IO performance utility)
--> vxstat (Veritas vxfs filesystem IO performance)

** Network Utilization

--> netstat
--> ping
--> traceroute

** Process / Kernel

--> ps
--> top
--> prstat

--> sar (provides most basic types of high level performance metrics,
assuming that __________system accounting is turned on)

** SETTING SOLARIS 10 Above and Beyond other Unix / Linux Distributions
... ** :

In addition to the basic toolsets available, there exist the following
key additions that Solaris 10 provides, which sets it apart from the
other Unix / Linux variants.

** DTrace (Dynamic Tracing via "D" language scripting and probe/providers)

__ Dtrace is the Electron microscope of performance analysis for a
Solaris 10 system

** Mdb (Modular Debugger)

___________________________________________________________________________________

SYS_DIAG :

Over the past several years, I have created a utility called "sys_diag"
that offers the capability of automatically capturing performance
statistics, using nearly all available system utilities.. and
aggregating the data, performing analysis and HTML report generation of
findings. Sys_diag creates a single .tar.Z compressed archive that can
be emailed/ftp'd.. for performing system configuration and/or
performance analysis off-site.. from virtually anywhere.. saving a LOT
of time.. not requiring any 3rd party tools or agents to be installed on
a system other than downloading the "sys_diag" ksh script itself (with a
color coded dashboard.. and links to detailed analysis findings).

Sys_diag can be used to also generate a detailed configuration snapshot
report, including OS, HW, Storage, SW, 3PP configuration attributes,
among several other capabilities that it provides.

** See the next blog entry for more details and examples on sys_diag **.
The published repository and high level description of sys_diag is
always available at BigAdmin using the following URL :
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/jsp/descFile.jsp?url=descAll/sys_diag__solaris_c

Kidnapping by a sardar!!!!!!!!!!

There was a Sardarji who was down on his luck. In order to raise some
money he decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom.

He went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree and
told him , "I've kidnapped you."

Sardarji then wrote a note saying: "I've kidnapped your kid.

Tomorrow morning, put Rs.2,00,000 in a paper bag and put it beneath the
mango tree on the north side of the city playground".

Signed: "A Sardarji".

Sardarji then pinned the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to
show It to his parents.

The next morning the Sardarji checked, and sure enough a paper bag was
kept beneath the mango tree. The boy was sitting next to the bag.
Sardarji opened Up the bag and found the Rs.2 ,00,000 in cash with a
note saying: "How can a sardarji do this to a fellow Sardarji? Take the
money, and Please leave my son."

Google or Microsoft which is better?

Google or Microsoft which is better place to work?

  • Here is an insight into the differences in the work cultures of Google & Microsoft.
  • Also check out the cool Google Office "spy" snaps.
  • There are few good points in the article, which any organization (including Sun) can adopt from these work cultures, to attract/retain employees, here is the short list :
    • Free food ( 3 times a day )
    • Tech Stop, its a great idea in imo.
    • Pool table, Gym & other recreation activity.
    • Flat Management hierarchy.
Wish some organizations will improve after reading this post ;-)

Most admired Sun Colleague left Sun.:-(

Navneeth Santhanam, is the name of my ex-Sun colleague who left Sun Microsystems recently on 1st June 2007 and is going to join EMC2.

He is really a true gem of a person. He was the first / ONLY person to wish me "Best of Luck" when i came for interview in Sun. Though he didn't took my interview but he took interviews of other candidates. His interviewing skills was amazing. He has interviewed/hired most of the interns in my team. He even interviewed Managerial candidates when our team didn't had manager.

He was the cricket captain of Sun Cricket team, Team Lead of Outlook Connector product, he spent almost 5 years at Sun. (4years as employee & 1 year as intern). Though i was not part of his product, we interacted professionally/technically lots. We both were the only guys in our team who initiated any fun-event. We were the official organizers. Suresh Jayaram assigned him as my mentor in the early days when i joined Sun, but he is still my true mentor. I really adore his leadership, logical thinking & interviewing skills. Wish i could get some percentage of his. I am missing him most since he left Sun.

How i got into Sun? What i am Now?

I completed my B.E (Computer Science) on 4th June 2004. After that been to Gwalior(my hometown) for one month for holiday. Came back & started my job hunt. I was a fresher & its really tough to get a job (any software job) in Bangalore if you are a fresher. I gave around 11 interviews/written tests in different companies. One of the interviews was in Sun Microsystems on 14th July 2006.

I was among the lucky 130 people who got the chance to write written test in Sun Microsystems. That day it a formal call interview, but some candidates were absent,so Sun's HR people made it a walk-in. I got a SMS on my cell from one of my friend, that Sun is having walk-in, when i reached there i saw around 2000 people standing/fighting in front of Sun office to submit their resume, i was horrified & thought I'd no chance, still i tried & went ahead, luckily i saw a friend of mine standing just in front of HR people( actually he was not my real friend just acquittance, i met him few times while giving written test in another company, need to make network for job calls that time, through network only i got SMS for this walk-in), so i went ahead & gave him my resume & asked him to submit my resume if possible. He submitted my resume, HR collected few more resumes after my resume & then stopped. Jomy came with me on my bike but his resume was not collected. Sad!

Anyways i was among the 130 lucky ones who got the chance to write written test for Sun. When i went inside the office, it was so nice, everything seems amazing!! My written was not so good, even i got caught cheating from my neighbors answer copy by Sun HR, i concluded i had no chance at all(but GOD had different plans for me!, Thank GOD!), HR people came after 1 hour & was announcing the names of candidates who passed the written test, i was feeling really nervous, all names were called but mine, only two answer copies was remaining & finally i got up with my bag to go back home as i had lost all my hopes but suddenly the LAST name/copy announced was MINE:-) i was thrilled. Then after one hour i had my interview. I had lunch & came back, i thought my name was called last, so my interview would be last, but as soon as i reached to my shock my interview was first. Pradeep Joshi ( he is HP now!) took my interview for 1.5 hrs, it was terrific, he completely screwed me for the whole one & half hour. Then after two days i got call for second round of interview(I was going to Whitefield for some other written test, at that time!). I came to Sun's office, gave the presentation of my final year project ( Network Intrusion Detection System ), all my interviewers were happy with my presentation, but after the presentation, Suresh Jayaram ( He is Manager in Adobe now!) called me & told me that if i am not selected in Sun, that will only coz i have scored less in written test, i scored only 9/50. Surprised?? Don't be 10/50 was the passing marks, written test was too tough, 17/50 was the highest score. Then after a month, i got the news from Arunbabu Sambamoorthy that i was not selected for the position in Sun & other fellow ( Apurba Sarkar ) from IIT Kharagpur was selected in place of mine. He was M.Tech from IIT & i was B.E from Tumkur, he scored 17/50 & i scored 9/50 was the only differences that he got selected NOT me:(.

Then on 21st August 2004 i have written test in Tarang Software Technologies, Whitefield. Passed the written test, gave interview in Tarang on 23rd August 2004, Amit Agarwal ( he too joined Sun few months after i joined Sun!) screwed me again in interview for around 2 hours, but finally on 27th August 2004 i got the first job of my Life. I was very happy. Bhaskar Mishra( my Best friend, he is in TCS now! ) & me both got job together in same company on same date. We had whisky as soon as we collected the offer letter from Tarang. Our salary was around 8000 per month(6k in hand). We celebrated on 27th August 2004 & then on 1st September we went home for one month as our joining date was 4th October 2004.

I returned on 3rd October 2004, joined Tarang on 4th October 2004,was getting use to the new environment, people, technologies etc. Then on 12th October 2004 i got a call from Sun asking me to come for another round of interview, i was so ecstatic i can't explain. I went for interview in Sun on 12/13 October 2004, i dont remember the date correctly. Then after there were 3 more rounds of interview, Vinay V( he is in Cisco now!, took one interview), Arunbabu Sambamoorthy took another interview. Then finally on 19th October 2004 Suresh called me & informed me that my employment in Sun is confirmed & i can come to Sun's office to collect the offer letter. I was so so so happy. On 20th October 2004, i went to Tarang at 9.30AM by my bike, left Tarang at 5.30PM, came to Sun's office at Shantinagar, got the offer letter at 7.00PM. Called parents, bro & everyone & informed them about my new job & great salary. Everyone was very very very happy at home.

So from 21st October 2004, i was in Sun, quitted Tarang without resigning/informing them ( actually Bhaskar informed them on my behalf), but Tarang people didn't mind (hopefully!, i never dared asked them!) as i haven't took even my first salary from them.

I joined Sun Microsystems India Pvt. Ltd. on 21st October 2004. Started working on Sun Java System Instant Messaging Product as Quality Engineer. Arun was my Lead. After Arun left Sun on 28th Feb 2007, I got promoted "automatically" to the position of Team Leader recently on 1st March 2007. Congrats to me :-p. And now i am the proud Quality Engineering Lead for the IM Product. I have a team of 5 people under me. All my team members are awesome. Really:-)! Hope they think the same about me.:-)

GMail Drive - Use the 3 GB space as ur Local HD

GMail Drive
It's a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Gmail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium. It drops the 3 gigabytes of storage allotted to your Gmail account right onto your desktop and looks & feels just like a regular hard drive albeit a bit slower because it's networked rather than local. Point your browser at http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm, scroll down to the Download Files section, and grab a copy of GMail Drive. Unzip the installer and double-click the Setup icon. A few moments later, you should see a brand-spanking-new GMail Drive under My Computer in Windows Explorer. Enter your Gmail username and password and click the OK button to log in. A few seconds later, your drive will be ready to use. Merrily drag and drop files to and fro between your local drive and GMail Drive

As you add folders and documents to the drive, they show up as messages in your Gmail Inbox the GMAILFS: prefix appears in the subject of each message, along with the folder, filename, and file size. The file itself is stored as an attachment to the message.
