Microsoft is slowly stepping up its databse market share competing against the old biwigs. MS is launching its new version of SQL Server 2008 code named Katmai. Lots of new features. Im exploring them one by one. Im using Report Designer at Home and at workplace. Its pretty cool. No more reporting hassles, no matter where the data comes from. The tool is very intuitive and I hope to use it in my forthcoming engagemnt

Its was a disastrous performance again by the Indian Cricket Team in the World Cup'07 at West Indies. They never seemed to be serious and let down a billion people's hope and wishes.

Sitting on Big Advertising Endorsements the Team Players forgot their Basics and thought the WC'07 tour as a vacation.

There is an Old Saying 11members play and 11K Idiots sit and watch. I was one of the fools,who still kept faith in those 11members expecting a miracle to happen.

Ne'ways whatever happens happens for Good

The 30 sensitive NSE shed 400 odd points for 2 days in row to 3673 and then cooled down a bit to close at 3717 points today.BSE coled just below 13K mark. It was expected as the market was undergoing a bull run there by destabilizing the economy. I see the market stabilize at 3100 points where one can see a support of atleast 50-100 points.

Well what ever happened, happened for good and it comes as a relief for the common man. I hope none of you reading my blog have lost money in the market. If you've lost there is nothing to panic as Feb is the month during which global markets peek out.

Happy Trading...

It offers a lot of Stations ranging from 70's to the most recent ones.Its one of the few good stations which offer Quality Music all round the clock. Bored of listening to conventional radio?? Click below

I spent most of my time during on saturday listening to it as RadioIndigo.fm was playing crappy music during the day. I tried many stations, but the most satisfying one was Progressive House.

I attended the Chris Capossela Live!! which happened on my birthday on 10th Oktober.

I was accompanied by Prateek Hejmady a juniour of mine.

The event showcased various Features of Office 2007 and Exchange 2007.

Office12 Preview by Pat was good, which was by a Session from Ranjana. Ranjana's Session was pretty ordinary (:.

It was nothing new to me as I have been using Office 12 (Now Ofice 2007) ever since Beta1. I now have Beta2 TR installed on my laptop.

TR is a lot stable than Beta2. Features are reliable. But no one knows how many features provided by them will be used in real Life.UI is reloaded & is very Intuitive.

Exchange 12 Session handled by Ravi Shankar was good when compared to Ranjana's. He demonstrated E12 capabilities and the new enchanced WebAccess and its capabilities.

It was a great show off from Microsoft Team. But the Release will be much more Electrifying than this one as more features will be bundled.

I felt the Office 2000 to Office 2007 would be a worthy one. When Integrated with Groove and SharePoint Portal Server Office it makes more business sense.

One thing which I forgot to mention was the introduction of Excel and Word Web Access which is buildt on top of Office 2007 Server which reduces piracy and eliminates the pain of Installing it on machine's.

If you wanna try Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh1 here is the link.

I recently happened to visit a site which determines Uplink and Downlink Rates. Its a real time test and is fool proof.

I use a Sify 256kbps(kilobits) Broadband at home,the speed was around the same as expected

I was not aware of the Bandwidth available at Office as its not disclosed. It showed up a staggering 9.8MBps(Bytes).

You can check you bandwidth @ speedtest.net

Awesome ToolBar

0 comments 9/17/2006

Hi, This post is for all the music enthusiasts who love to listen Trance/Progressive/Dance Music. I came accross toolbar through a newsletter from DJ River. One might ask what more can you get than a Google Toolbar?? This ones totally different you can listen to Music while Surfing without opening another window/application. Fidelity is superb, also you get a reminder when you recieve a mail on any one of these mail services

Hotmail
Yahoo
Gmail

Moreover Any third party POP Servers can be configured. Once you click on the appropriate Mail thats configured, it takes us the WebMail access which doesnt required you to enter you password again.

Likewise additional stations can be added. It comes with a built in popup blocker and has a placeholder for Weather Updates.

I was really excited when I came accross this one and felt worth sharing this info.It can be applied on both the popular Browsers(IE & Firefox)

You Can find the tool bar here:

http://djriver.myradiotoolbar.com/

Check it out and let me know if anyone is facing issues with this.:)

Schumi proved to be stronger over the weekend than anyone. It was great watching him win his 89th F1 Grand Prix. What meant more than anything is Ferrari is inching closer. 10 points seperate them from the Lead. Thanks to Raikkonen whose victory meant less points for Alonso. My heart goes down to Mark Webber,who retired because of no fault of his(Mechanical Failure). Looks like Massa and Schumacher have answered rave critics. Anyways its all in the Race(Game). Flavio Briatore is one person who will have to spend several sleepless nights till thier team recovers. Hungaroring is just a week away. I hope Schumi does it again. Massa is not any far. Massa is geared up and has already notched 3rd Position in Overall Standings, as of now. Come October we can see Ferrari 1-3 in drivers championship.

Sporting Season

These days lotsa sporting events are going on. To name Cricket,Soccer, Tennis etc. I've been following Football (World Cup 2006) 2nd round onwards. My favourites being Portugal and France. I felt elated when England,Argentina and Brazil were Eliminated. I feel Italy / Portugal being prospective winners this time around.

Indian Cricket has turned out to be a total mess, which was exhibited by poor performance by India as well and W.Indies.

I'm finding difficult to follow up with Tennis, but I keep my self updated by frequently visiting wimbledon site.

Will write more about the happenings in this space.

Evaluating Software

0 comments 7/02/2006

Off late I have been evaluating every thing thats being released by Microsoft. Last Friday I downloaded IE7 SP3. My suggestion is never upgrade to IE7, better stick to IE6 as its more Stable, Reliable and predictable. IE7 SP3 never didnt live up to any of my expectation. Apart from this I've been Evaluating Office 2007 Beta2 for quite some time. I'm amazed by the work that's been put in to make this stunning s/w.

Just in case you are not able to download and evaluate Office 2007 Microsoft has provided an alternate path for users to test. This shows that MS's commitment to produce better software than making just another release. You can try hands on by clicking Here.

Apart from the Beta's I also tried LINQ May CTP on Saturday. Its pretty good making developers life easy. When .NET 3.0 will be out developers will experience a new way of coding. Who knows somewhere down the lane Microsoft's software will do all the coding for us,where we can concentrate more on "Business Logic".

Stay tuned more to come.

After a long long time got to Read books on .Net and C++ with .Net being my personal favourite. .Net is growing by leaps and bounds and SQL Server 2005 is playing Catch up mode with Oracle. In this fast changing scenario its really difficult to cope to the Change with .Net 3.0 coming out in a while. All I do is stick to the basics and Hang on to the existing Version of .Net 2.0 and explore more abt it. I also got time to read Robin Sharma's new Compilation "The Greatness Guide", the book which I picked up in a book exhibition held in our office. The sudden drift from Freak Mode to Study mode has been painful, but I felt its more rewarding. So just waiting for something good to happen.

Last Week End Update

3 comments 6/09/2006

Last Week end I took a break from work on friday and went to Sagar with my parents. We went to a remote unknown place called Nada Kalasi. I could not believe a temple could have existed in such a remote place for so long. It was a temply of Hoysala Dynasty. The coolest part is there was no one at the temple. We had to go back to a nearby village to bring the priest(guide). The priest explained the architechture of the temple along with the facts he came to know from his ancestors.I havent uploaded the Kalasi pics. I will do that shortly.

After the Kalasi visit we went to Jog (Waterfall) after facing a lot of resistance becuase of Rain. But I had a time of my life with my family. If I remember the last time we went out together on a long ride was way back in 1997. Have taken a few snaps which can be found on salgar.multiply.com. Took awesome pictures with my parents and my cousin. The coolest part was we went to the origination point of one waterfall. That apart we got to soak up the beauty of nature from the closest possible. It was a fabulous exprerience. Dont Know When I'll get a chance to go out on such a ride this year.

More pics will be updated on my flickr site in a while.More Info abt jog is available in this Wiki also visiting places near Shimoga can be found here Shimoga
