Folks,<br /> I Recieved a mail from 1 of my friends today which had this poem below. I think its very true. I want to share this with all of you.<br />Here i am sitting in my office @ night…<br />Thinking hard about life<br />How it changed from a maverick college life to strict professional life……<br />How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks but then why it gives less happiness….<br />How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe but then why there are less people to use them<br />How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger But then why there is less hunger…..<br />Here i am sitting in my office @ night…<br />Thinking hard about life How it changed…..<br />How a bike always in reserve changed to bike always on but then why there are less places to go on…… How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day but then why its feels like shop is far away…..<br />How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package but then why there are less calls & more messages……<br />Here i am sitting in my office @ night…<br />Thinking hard about life How it changed…..<br />How a general class journey changed to Flight journey But then why there are less vacations for enjoyment….<br />How a old assembled desktop changed to new branded laptop but then why there is less time to put it on……….<br />How a small bunch of friends changed to office mate but then why after 8′o Clock it always feel like getting late….<br />Here i am sitting in my office @ night…<br />Thinking hard about life How it changed….. how it changed……..Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-8453384108345713432009-05-12T00:14:00.001-07:002009-09-01T23:14:50.534-07:00Time Is MoneyThere is an old proverb that ‘Time is Money’. Is it really true? How can Time be equivalent to Money. What is that which relates Time and Money or there is something by which we can convert Time to Money.<br /><br />Some people say that Time is Money because we earn money spending our time at work. Well it is true but also it depends on how we are utilizing our time. On many occasions we keep on doing stuff which is unnecessary. We can easily spend that time doing some productive work. I think this is the difference between people who are rich and successful and a common man. They spend there time wisely doing stuff which earns them the money. They value there time and this is how entrepreneurs are born.<br /><br /> We are discussing how Time can be Money but we didn’t consider happiness here. People for whom happiness is all about money the above thing holds true. But is happiness all about money, No. So in this context I must say Time is more valuable than money. Because whatever we do in life is for happiness. It may be our own or the happiness we give to our loved ones, our relatives and friends.<br /><br /> What is the value of spending all your time earning money when you cannot spend some time with your old parents, you cannot play with you child. Is that money worth when your spouse wants your time or when your friends want to hang out with you?<br /><br /> We say we earn money for the happiness of our loved ones but that money doesn’t seem to provide all the happiness they want. Yes money is important but we should consider Time as Money and spend some of it on things which brings happiness.Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-56703355565650662082009-04-28T03:52:00.000-07:002009-09-01T23:14:06.956-07:00Chikmanglur Trip -- Mulengiri<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi4ShPrcI/AAAAAAAAAEw/BTA1C4rVWiU/s1600-h/IMG_3495.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329696665711390146" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi4ShPrcI/AAAAAAAAAEw/BTA1C4rVWiU/s400/IMG_3495.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi4a-3HjI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Yuten8SK7qA/s1600-h/IMG_3487.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329696667983093298" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi4a-3HjI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Yuten8SK7qA/s400/IMG_3487.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi4D-Rl1I/AAAAAAAAAEg/l8Zm84QroVY/s1600-h/IMG_2955.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329696661806618450" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi4D-Rl1I/AAAAAAAAAEg/l8Zm84QroVY/s400/IMG_2955.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi32x75LI/AAAAAAAAAEY/KIgW5O-iHIQ/s1600-h/Trekkers-HP.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329696658265203890" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 280px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbi32x75LI/AAAAAAAAAEY/KIgW5O-iHIQ/s400/Trekkers-HP.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbge3PW7RI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/FO0GCAeq13w/s1600-h/IMG_3503.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329694029868625170" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/Sfbge3PW7RI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/FO0GCAeq13w/s400/IMG_3503.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-29407625393256575162009-04-14T06:54:00.000-07:002009-09-01T23:14:29.412-07:00Get crowned as the TOP ARCHITECT at Microsoft Tech-Ed India 2009!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SeSVyFP6a7I/AAAAAAAAAEI/lhxqTufo5cM/s1600-h/Teched.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324545347093687218" style="WIDTH: 284px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SeSVyFP6a7I/AAAAAAAAAEI/lhxqTufo5cM/s400/Teched.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.virtualtechdays.com/toparchitect/">http://www.virtualtechdays.com/toparchitect/</a>Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-10570857911528870772009-01-22T21:51:00.000-08:002009-01-22T23:24:26.666-08:00Hash Tables in JavaScriptHashing has lots of benefits for storing data. We achieve hashing in various languages but doing it througn Javascript was something very special. While the basic purpose of using a Hash Table is to store a key value pair, but there are also other ways to use it. I used it for checking duplicate values. Below is the code for Hash Tables in Javascript.<br /><br /><strong>Code for creating a Hash Table:</strong><br /><br />//Initializes the Hash Table<br />function HashTable(){ this.hashArr = new Array(); this.length = 0;}<br /><br />//Get Function to read the contents<br />HashTable.prototype.get = function(key) { return this.hashArr[key];};<br /><br />//Put function for storing key value<br />HashTable.prototype.put = function(key, value) { if (typeof(this.hashArr[key]) == 'undefined') { this.length++; } this.hashArr[key] = value;};<br /><br /><strong>For Checking Duplicate values:</strong><br />Store the element to be checked as key. If Duplicate it will not get inserted and the length of Hash Table remains same. Compare this value with a counter. If counter is greater than length it is a duplicate.Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-50689815355238580652008-11-11T05:32:00.000-08:002009-09-01T23:14:06.956-07:00TRIP TO HAMPI<div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SRmL-P_oTFI/AAAAAAAAAC0/340RxTY2se0/s1600-h/1.JPG"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SRmM4JFpKSI/AAAAAAAAADE/Fyl3T1EsQ9c/s1600-h/IMG_1223.JPG"></a>Hampi is a historical p<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SRmMgcxGyKI/AAAAAAAAAC8/UshhbcLzaag/s1600-h/IMG_1308.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267395728292366498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 308px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 198px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SRmMgcxGyKI/AAAAAAAAAC8/UshhbcLzaag/s320/IMG_1308.JPG" border="0" /></a>lace located in Northern Karnataka on the banks of the river Tungabhadra.

We have been coming across stories of people getting sacked for various reasons. But recently this has increased to such an extent that the future prospects of surviving is getting reduced day by day. Recently all the companies have started the trend of cost cutting and also due to the crisis of projects the sacking rate is continuing to rise.<br /><br />Very recently IBM, TCS, etc. sacked a lot of employees. People are still looking for jobs after this incident when another big news came up with HP, Wipro and Satyam planning to sack employees on a large scale. The already poor condition of the job Market is going to deteriorate even further with these incidents.<br /><br />This situation is further going out of control with companies like Lehman Brothers going bankrupt and others like AIG going at a huge loss. The markets all over the world are crashing and inflation everywhere on a high the future at this moment of time looks very scary.<br /><br />Also these incidents are leading to mental trauma and tension. On one side you are under pressure to perform in your current job and on the other hand you are in tension of losing your job. Also in the current situation searching for a job has also become a headache. People are compromising at a higher rate. Working at lesser salaries than what they deserve, are afraid to switch jobs also.<br /><br />What is next that is going to follow? No one has the answer to this question. What will be future of so many people still struggling and many more joining them. Also huge no. of people passing out from college each year are going through this situation. Has this industry reached its saturation level? Only time will tell.Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-69754729600595064822008-05-30T04:18:00.000-07:002009-09-01T23:14:50.534-07:00SUCCESS CHANGES PEOPLEMost people want to be successful in life. Success can be defined in many ways and varies with each individual. According to me success is ‘achieving something you dream’.<br /><br /> Success changes people is almost agreeable as it plays a very important role in our lives though there can be exceptions. The change due to success can remain confined to a single individual or it can also be a collective change. Again, this could be a positive one or a negative one.<br /><br /> Let us focus on the positive aspects first. To be successful one should learn to work hard and not entirely depend you luck. So, success makes us hard working and not to be superstitious. It also gives you confidence, passion to drive yourself further in critical situations, boosts your self esteem, makes you a better decision maker which can make you a good leader and set an example for others to follow. In short, it completely changes your attitude towards life.<br /><br /> Like a coin has two faces, success too has a different aspect which is not positive. It may happen sometimes that people succeed without doing the hard work, and they start believing in luck only. This makes them complacent, over confident and lead them to downfall. We must remember that ‘Fortune favours the brave’ and you must be really daring to keep on trying hard even after failure. There is another famous saying ‘ Try and try and you will succeed ‘ but generally we tend to forget it.<br /><br /> For most people in this modern capitalism world, success is defined in terms of money. Money can buy you fame, power, etc. and to a certain extent does define success but not the only parameter. For example, a scientist considers himself as successful even if he is able to derive a simple formula which can prove his theory. So, changes like having money, power or fame cannot justify you as a successful person.<br /><br /> In my opinion success is all about happiness. If you are happy then every change within you is positive. Success brings you happiness of achieving something. It is worth being successful when you are happy. But sometimes it is not so. You tend to forget your personal lives and all the people who love you and care for you.<br /><br /> Therefore, work hard but never overwork because the success that you achieve is not worth if it hurts others and can’t bring you happiness.Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-48718452461995938762008-05-22T06:09:00.000-07:002009-09-01T23:13:26.776-07:00Application PoolSuppose you are hosting multiple Web sites on a single IIS server and while running one application you see some error messages which is not relevant to the application that is running. What could be the problem? Well, if an IIS server is hosting multiple Web sites, then a problem on one site can cause problems on other sites. Then the obvious question is what would be the solution? The answer is Application Pool.<br /><br />What is Application Pool?<br /><br />It is one of the new features introduced in IIS 6.0. An Application Pool can contain one or more applications and allows us to configure a level of isolation between different Web applications. You can create separate Application pools and place your applications accordingly. Each application pool is given its own set of server resources. As each Application Pool runs in its own worker process an error in one Application Pool will not affect applications in a different pool even if one application crashes. A classic example of this is a Web site with a memory leak. If all of the Web sites hosted on a particular server were to share system resources, and one of the Web sites had a memory leak, it could potentially take memory away from the other hosted sites. If the leaky site were in its own application pool though, the memory leak would not affect any other site because each application pool has its own server resources (including memory).<br /><br /><br /><br />Creating a new Application Pool<br /><br />Creating a new application pool is a very simple process that is carried out by using the IIS manager. When you create a new application pool, you have the following two options:<br />1. You can either create a new application pool from scratch or<br />2. You can create a new application by importing the configuration settings from an external XML file.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8uaxOAI/AAAAAAAAABE/6GfuABxwkLA/s1600-h/5.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203192431586129922" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8uaxOAI/AAAAAAAAABE/6GfuABxwkLA/s320/5.JPG" border="0" /></a>To create a new application pool from scratch, right-click on the Application Pools node from the tree view and select New->Application Pool from the context menu. You will be presented with the following screen, where you need to enter a name for the application pool.<br /><br /><br />When creating a new application, you also have the option of inheriting the settings from an existing application pool. For example, if you want your new application pool to inherit the settings from the DefaultAppPool, you can do that by selecting the option Use existing application pool as a template in the above screen. After you pick this option, the Application Pool name dropdown box will be enabled from where you can select an existing application pool.<br /><br />After the pool is created, you can save the settings of the application pool to an external XML file any time by right-clicking the application pool and selecting the option All Tasks->Save Configuration to a File that is available from the context menu. This is an extremely useful feature that makes it possible for you to easily recreate the same application pool on the same server or on a different server with minimal effort.<br /><br /><br />Configuring IIS Application Pool<br /><br /><br />In previous versions of IIS, worker processes ran as Local System, a powerful account that has system administrator privileges on the server. Because Local System has access to almost all resources on the operating system, this caused security implications. In IIS 6.0, you can set the identity of the worker process at the application pool level. The identity of an application pool is the account under which the application pool's worker process runs. By default, application pools operate under the Network Service account, which has low-level user access rights. The Network Service account has the following seven privileges:<br />1. Adjust memory quotas for a process<br />2. Generate security audits<br />3. Log on as a service<br />4. Replace process level token<br />5. Impersonate a client after authentication<br />6. Allow logon locally<br />7. Access this computer from the network<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Normally, you don’t have to do anything else to the application pool. However, there are quite a few ways that you can fine tune the application pool’s behavior if you’d like. To do so, right click on the application pool and select the Properties command from the resulting shortcut menu. When you do, you will see the application pool’s properties sheet, as shown in Figure A.<br /><br />1. Recycling Tab <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8OaxN8I/AAAAAAAAAAk/Y6_lOqJ3Pv8/s1600-h/1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203192422996195266" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8OaxN8I/AAAAAAAAAAk/Y6_lOqJ3Pv8/s320/1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Figure A: Recycling Tab:You can fine tune the behavior of an application pool<br /><br /><br /><br />As you can see in the figure, the default tab is the Recycling tab. Recycling simply refers to restarting the worker process. Just as a computer sometimes performs better after it has been rebooted, worker processes also need to be “rebooted” once in a while to keep them running well.<br /><br />By default, IIS recycles the worker process every 1740 minutes (29 hours). However, there is also an option to recycle the worker process after a specific number of requests (this is good for busy Web sites) or at certain times of the day.<br /><br /><br />The bottom of this tab contains a couple of options for recycling the worker process based on memory usage. You can recycle the worker process once it uses a certain amount of virtual memory or once it is using a certain amount of physical memory. This feature is excellent for preventing memory leaks from causing performance problems.<br /><br />2. Performance Tab<br />The Performance tab, shown in Figure B, is designed to keep the application pool running efficiently. The first option on the page shuts down the worker process after the site has been idle for 20 minutes. This helps to give the server processing power and memory resources that it can use for other things until the worker process is needed again. <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8OaxN9I/AAAAAAAAAAs/ewg8RTxQDrU/s1600-h/2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203192422996195282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8OaxN9I/AAAAAAAAAAs/ewg8RTxQDrU/s320/2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Figure B: The Performance tab is designed to keep the application pool running efficiently<br />The next option allows you to limit the inbound request queue length. By doing so, you can make sure that the site doesn’t get slammed with more requests than it can handle.<br /><br /><br />The next portion of the Performance tab has to do with CPU monitoring. CPU monitoring allows you to prevent a demanding Web application from hogging the server’s CPU resources. You can set the maximum percentage of CPU time that the worker process is allowed to use. If this value is exceeded, you can recycle the worker process.<br /><br /><br />The last option on this tab is the maximum number of worker processes. As I said earlier, each application pool has at least one worker process. If an application pool contains more than one Web site, it can sometimes realize greater performance if you allow multiple worker processes.<br /><br />3. Health Tab<br /><br />The Health tab, shown in Figure C, provides you with the ability to make sure that the worker processes that the application pool is using are healthy. The first option on this tab is the enable pinging check box. If you select this option, then IIS will ping the pool’s worker processes every 30 seconds to make sure that they are responsive. <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8eaxN-I/AAAAAAAAAA0/tD5qxBulMlA/s1600-h/3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203192427291162594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8eaxN-I/AAAAAAAAAA0/tD5qxBulMlA/s320/3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Figure C: The Health tab allows IIS to monitor worker processes to make sure that they are healthy and responsive<br /><br /><br />The next check box on the Health tab is the Enable Rapid Fail Protection check box. The idea here is that IIS can completely disable an application pool if there are a certain number of failures within a specific length of time. For example, by default if the worker process fails five times in five minutes, then the application pool will be disabled. The reason for doing this is that if a worker process is failing that often then there must be a serious glitch either with the system or with one of the Web sites within the application pool. IIS takes the application pool down in the interest of preserving the server’s overall stability.<br /><br />The last two options on this tab aren’t really a big deal. They simply dictate the length of time that is acceptable for a worker process to startup and shut down. In the real world, I have never seen a worker process time out on startup or shutdown, so chances are that you may never have to touch these values.<br /><br />4. Identity Tab<br /><br />The identity tab, shown in Figure D, allows you to choose which service account’s credentials the application pool will use. Normally, you will just want to go with the default settings here and use the Network Service. By running the worker process using a very low-privileged account such as Network Service, you can reduce the security vulnerability. However, by using IIS manager, you can configure the application pool to run as any of the following pre-defined accounts:<br />1. Network Service<br />2. Local System<br />3. Local Service<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8eaxN_I/AAAAAAAAAA8/FmbjgOtoVtc/s1600-h/4.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203192427291162610" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_F0fOQxQvoYI/SDVz8eaxN_I/AAAAAAAAAA8/FmbjgOtoVtc/s320/4.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Figure D: The identity tab allows you to choose which service account’s credentials the application pool will use.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />References:<br /><a href="http://www.developer.com/">http://www.developer.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">http://www.microsoft.com/</a>Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513015790191206897.post-17585811325430374592008-05-22T05:43:00.000-07:002008-05-22T05:45:00.512-07:00REDRed. What is Red? What is so special about it? Well it is just a color or there is something else. I thought and kept on thinking what this could be. Why am I so bothered about just a simple color. Why is my mind tossing around the word Red. There must be something which is unseen, more than just a color.<br /><br />Just as I was passing by I saw a red rose. Immediately it reminded me of the person I love. So, I thought red symbolizes love. For a moment I thought I got my answer but there was even more to discover. I saw a bride in red and was moved by its beauty. Saw the beautiful rainbow. Thus red was there to signify beauty.<br /><br />Till now I had discovered two new definitions to red but my quest continued. Started investigating everything that was red. Analyzed each and everything related to red. Finally, I found that red is an integral part of our lives. Without this life would be so empty. When we are angry we become red, in a battlefield every where we see red which signifies sorrow. Red is a savior as is symbolized by the Red Cross and the signal for danger. Red gives command to stop in case of traffic. Red is trust as the vermillion on the forehead of a woman. Red is happiness in the form of Christmas. Red gives us heat as fire.<br /><br />I was pretty happy as I had fulfilled my quest. But, still was not satisfied as if something was missing. Something was still there which I had missed. Thinking, I was passing by when suddenly I saw an accident. There was blood all over and the person involved was dead. I got my answer. Red is Life.Sajid Nadeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07117491049477977318noreply@blogger.com2
