Ranga Shankara Play

1 comments 2/01/2006

Yesterday myself and Abhishek attended a kannada play named "Satu Tavarmane-Patu Tavarmane" at RangaShankara . It was directed awesomely. I felt really good viewing the play coz I was SicK'n'tired of work and needed a break badly. The audience was too encouraging. There's a lot to learn from that place.

The ambience was too good. Most importantly i noticed that other than introduction to the play no audio equiment were used, which makes it hard for the cast to Act'n'Skp loudly.The place was quite cozy and the theatre was more than half filled.We went to Ranga Shankara thinking that "Bali" a play directed by Girish Karnad would be played. But later we found out that it was changed in the last minute. The play went on well. It took me some time catching the kannada words correctly. The Last time I attended a Stage Play was at Neenasam @ Heggodu,Sagar near Shimoga.

The play started at 7:45PM and lasted for 75minutes ending at around 9:30PM including a 15min break.At the end of the play I could recognize two ppl one the director(Shastri's Wife) and other the postman(Nanjunda) of the play who happen to act in a popular Kannada Serial namely "Mukta",which i was forced to watch whenever i visit my parents place @ Shimoga.

I plan to visit a bigger stage play at Ravindra kala Kshetra Sometime this month.If you want to read more abt Rangashankara here's an review.

Rock The Community Launch (Day 2)

1 comments 1/10/2006

This was the most eventful weekend I ever spent in my life. There were quality sessions from Praveen Srivatsava, Srinivas Sampath & Vinod Kumar.
The sessions started on time at around 9:35AM. Praveen Took the first session featuring the new capabilities of SQL Server 2005. He demonstrated SSIS,SSAS and SSRS. His sessions we a lot complete when compare to the previous sessions. All the demo's Ran perfectly. The coolest part is he did everything live. It was really fabulous. The came the geek Srini Sampath. He spoke about the programmability aspects. He covered HTTP End points, TSQL Enhancements. The session went on with great questions bouncing him from all over the station. There was a noticable flow in his session which was lacking yesterday.
To be frank I was not prepared to take such an amount of Information. It was a kinda Overflow for me. After lunch came Vinod who talked about the high availability and scalability features. He demo'ed Piecemeal Restore,Database Mirroring and Many new features. His session lasted for almost 2 hours. Then Srini came back and discussed about Security features. The Certificate Tool shipped with SQL Server 2005 was talked abou in detail. Last But Not the Least Vinod bounced back with SQLCMD and the new IDE features of Management Studio.
It was a kind of celebration for me at the Community Launch of BDotNet.
More Importantly the closing ceremony of the event marked the Launch Of the Book written by the geeks themselves. So I have got my copy of UG Launch Book. Go grab yourself from BDotNet or SQLBANG

Rock The Community Launch

0 comments 1/07/2006

I today attended the BDotNet User group community launch of VS 2005 & SQL 2005 which is a two day event held at NMKRV College, Jayanagar, Bangalore. Today was dedicated to Visual Studio Team Suite. After the initial hitches the event started at 10:05AM. Then on It was a total blast.

The event started off with Manoj & Saravana giving an Intro to VSTS. Then there was a session conducted by Pooran Prasad On Team Architect. After that we had a cool session taken over by Manoj again. manoj Demonstrated the Developer Productivity enhancements of VS 2005. We then broke for lunch. Staying awake Post lunch session was a daunting task. Chaitra gave a session on Smart Client Apps. Later came the Rockstar Kalpesh who kept the crowd going by showing off a few enhancements and new concepts of ASP.Net 2.0. Then It was Saravana Who did less of talking and more of Demo's. People bounced at him a lot of questions which were answered swiftly with out a moments hesitation. The Q & A Session went on till 7pm.

Tomorrow I will attend Brain storming sessions on SQL 2005 which will be conducted by Srini Sampath,Vinod Kumar and Praveen Srivatsa. Shall add the pictures shortly..

Karnataka Government On a Renaming Spree

Today Our Bufoon a.k.a Chief Minister announced the renaming of Gulbarga as Kalburgi, Mysore as Mysuru, Mangalore as Mangaluru, Hubli as Hubballi and Belgaum as Belagavi. This follows the renaming of Bangalore as Bengaluru. I feel there is essentially no need for renaming. The essence of local culture will be spoilt by this kinda thing.

I attended the Ready Launch Tour 2005 on December 9th.It was great listening to the Richest Man. He spoke about himself and his commitment to the Community. He didnt speak much about the products. He emphasized that India should expand setting up more & more Research Centre's. He had earlier announced that he would be investing around $1.7Bn over the next two to three years time frame. One great thing about his speech was, it was a no non sense talk.He gave a realistic comparision of Microsoft and India being a success story and the on going relationship between the two. It was great listening to people who call the shots around the globe. Boy I admire his frankness.When he was asked when he last coded,he replied 1983 without any hesitation.Also when asked about his favourite Indian food his reply was "UPMA",which we hate to eat. Then onwards there was great presentation on VSTS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 by Gaurav Khanna and others.

This was supposed to be put on 29th October. But since I was busy doing PAR Project I am putting it up now. Well Our Team Builing Session was held @ ECC.We were all broken into 3 teams. We chose Our Team name to be "ENDEAVOUR". Our team comprised of Me,Sandeep,Satish Suthar and many more. Well we had some brainstorming sessions held by Bryan Varghese (Trainer) and we did some indoor excercise during the morning session. Shells were distributed to each team as per their standing in the respective activity. Then We had an Decent Lunch at ECC's Food Lounge and then came back to play outdoor games like the Crater Game, Tarpaulin Game and so on.
The Games were basically to keep us going and open up. These activities went on upto 6pm and then Prizes were distibuted to the team scoring highest number of shells. Incidentally there was a tie for second place with Endeavour and Rainbow(Team Names). Then Chocolates were distributed and we returned back to Roshini Chambers(Our City Office)

Well Guys This post is all about my day out with Einstein a.k.a Sandesh Karanth FOSS.IN . We Incidentally met at the Exhibition Area. We then had some food(pizza I remember). Then we spoke for hours about each other and then the discussion came down to technical stuff we were working on. We spoke about XML, Webservices and stuff. Einstein spoke about COX,Parkins and other people gave presentations the day before we met. All in all It was a memorable day coz I met Einstein after such a long time(6 months). After all Our Discussion I met Karthikeyan & Niranjan a.k.a Bhadravathi and spoke for atleast 2 hours. I hope we get together more often like the FOSS.In meet
