Chrome - The new web browser

Finally i managed to find something interesting to write about. It would be unacceptable for me to say that i had no time to blog... it was just that i was getting lethargic day after day. Hope to become active at the earliest possible time. Coming back to today's topic - chrome : The new web browser to be launched by Google. It is announced that Google would be releasing on Tuesday (Which happens to be today - but in US timings) the beta version of their browser for Windows. Linux and MAC users need to wait a bit longer before they can lay their hands on this.

The features of the browser is not known fully. But they have made it open source thereby introducing the possibility of creating custom codes to suit the needs of the person. personally, i have never attempted to create a custom tool for browser even though Firefox is an open source tool. Hope this time around i would try to make some contributions to the Google's new browser.
It is always great to create something new :-)

Brindhavanasaranga raaga

This is one of the most beautiful raaga i have heard. There are thousands of tamil songs composed using this particular raaga. The most famous of these is the "pon onru kandaen pen angu illai". The description provided by Charulatha Mani in the Isai Payanam was excellent. I have become a great fan of this singer, even though she makes some songs look more carnatic, but still the program is about the carnatic music applied to film songs so i felt it relevant. The arohanam and avarohanam of this particular raaga is sa ri2 ma1 pa ni3 sa  || sa ni2 pa ma1 ri2 ga2 sa This is called as shudhdha madhyamam raaga since it uses ma1. I am not sure if this is playable in flute since i am not sure about Ni3 which is kakali. Need to ask my guru regarding this. The link to various arohanam and avarohanam for all raagas is  http://www.carnatic.com/carnatic/ragalist.htm The link to the video in youtube is  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTCavDzt9b8&feature=related

Remote Desktop

I have always had an inclination towards using Linux. But there used to be lots of frustrations, when something doesn't seem to work the way it is supposed to. The major problem was running the remote desktop application. I had to remotely control my desktop which has Windows Xp using Linux. I somehow figured out after lots of trial and error and had it run using the RDPV5 protocol. The problem was it would work inside the campus and wont allow to connect from outside because of extra layer of security added by NUS VPN. The webvpn application crashes whenever tried on UBUNTU Linux. The problem was, it tries to use the command SU and install the application. UBUNTU does not allow SU command to be used and the activex control would crash. I tried too many options like correcting the install configuration file but nothing worked. Finally i decided to try and use openvpn, which is supported by SOC. There was a problem with logon. It would not allow me to logon with NUSNET ID. I was tot

Paper writing

Paper writing is one of the most difficult things in PhD. Even after having all the results needed to establish a theory or the application of theory to a real-time application, it is always difficult to write a paper that is specific to the audience of the journal. It is also amazing to find that human mind is capable of putting together all the thoughts within few hours when pushed to limits in the name of deadlines. Recently i face one....wasn't able to write two pages for 10 days and managed to write 14 pages within 28hrs...Literally continuous 28 hrs when given a deadline by my Prof. And by chance the paper has come out decently well.. Have submitted it to IEEE Transactions on intelligent Transportation Systems. Hopefully it will get accepted :-)
