Just reached Bucharest

Yes! Majak majak mein Bucharest pahunch gaye.
Who would've thought that I'll sometime visit this vague eastern european country which was in news last time for the execution of it's ruler. The first impression is a little funny. It is an EU nation but there are facets about it that remind u of India.
Haven't seen much now but from my window it looks like Mumbai with the only difference that it has some really magnificent building sprinkled among some run-down neighborhoods.
The travel was interesting too. From bangalore to frankfurt I had this french woman beside me. When we took our seats it seemed like a usual boring flight where I'll talk to my neigbors only when I need to go out. But as soon as the take-off began she this lady had become so jumpy like a cat on a hot tin roof. She almost grabbed my hand and asked if it is OK if she talked to me as she had a type of fear of flying. Her fear manifests dangerously only during take-offs! She said she had purchased a book about it and was explaining to me about it. Very interesting conversation!
I have got my camera here but haven't got my card reader..let's see how i upload photos while i am here.

Using Guugle for searching ebooks

Using Gugle for searching ebooks



Gugle has some fantastic potential for you to find whatever you are after on the internet.



To search for a book / program / file perhaps try the following.



Go to Gugle's search page and use the following criteria in the search dialog



intitle:index.of? file extension Name of item



e.g. intitle:index.of? chm syngress



This will hopefully give you a listing of all websites that google has cached that contain references to files in CHM format that are published by SYNGRESS.



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

I use in Gugle



+("index of") +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip|rar) +syngress



or



allinurl: +(rar|chm|zip|pdf|tgz) Syngress

What's so special about 1st June

We get a "Happy Birthday" email in our company everyday wishing the Birthday boys & girls, obviously, on their B'day. And?
Well, I check the email everyday to see if I it is the B'day of anyone I know. And what do I see on June 1st. It happens to be a Birthday for 14 people in our organisation out of 969 people!
Why should that sound strange? It is if you see the probability of that happening?
What does law of averages tell us? That given a sufficiently large set of people, you will have almost equal number of people being born on any given day. Well, 969 is not a sufficiently large set but we can take an error of 30% here or there(let's not get into the standard deviation mess. Not everyone has a stomach for it). Ok, so with the above theory having set in, it is likely that 969/365=2.65 people will have their birthday on any given day. With an error of 30% 1.85 - 3.44 is the range of people who'll have their birthday on any given day.
Now, do you see the anamoly here? Now, either September 1st has some fertile aspect about it that we don't know of or it is our schools who's playing truant with our probabilities. Schools? Yes schools. The schools in India, almost everywhere, reopen after a 2-3 month holiday on 1st June. And unscrupulous schools and enthusiastic new parents combine to make a lot of children's B'day 1st of June so that the child is perfectly placed for admission.
Fortunately, though, you will not see this phenomenon when the rigged-birthday workforce retire. The government is strict about Birth certificates now and the schools require them without fail. So, I am hoping that our probabilities will be restored soon :)

Thought for the day

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
