The week gone by..

EMBEDDING FLASH INTO YOUR WEB PAGES, ...
The past week had some interesting events, which are varied and exciting as well.
The one most exciting event is my ability to embed high-quality flash presentations into the web page that i am designing.And the ease with which i got it is truly remarkable!
Actually using a small software called "Flash Slide Show Maker", we can create flash presentations with background music, which plays whenever we open the webpage it is embedded into!!
Once the slide show is created, we can embed it using the tag:
embed src="filename.swf" height=a width= x..etc
where filename.swf is the file that is created using the flash slide show maker

I am sure this is the highlight of the week, but another event is that of the career development seminar held by NIIT on friday[22 dec 2006], which has been interesting and left me with somuch to learn...

SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF MY FIRST JDBC PROGRAM, WITH A DIFFERENCE!!

connecting java program to the ms access database successfull!!
Atlast, on 19 dec 2006, i have successfully executed a program which connects to the MS ACCESS database, instead of the SQL SERVER [which i dont have in my system], retrieves data and shows it in the command prompt.
This came as a relief to me as everywhere, only the SQL SERVER is being used[at study centre], and i just thought of finding out if i could connect to ms access and work on it..
We just need to change the "MyDataSource" in the program to "MS ACCESS 97 DATABASE" (not case sensitive) or whatever is the name shown in the DSN list in your system.
It wasnt easy though. Initially, it shows a runtime error, something like "cannot access the database"...etc..
Then i changed the acount name and password.
AND IT WORKED STRAIGHT AWAY!!
I hope this can help me in getting in depth idea about all the JDBC and stuff related to it!!

BLEEDING EARTH


Earth will be our home
Provided we do no harm
But then came industrial revolution
Due to the homo sapiens evolution
Buildings reached heavens with height
Uprooting any greenery in sight
Vehicles with smoke choke us
In toxic air they soak us
Atom bomb made earth cry
As Hiroshima &Nagasaki fry
Missiles pierce for blood
Causing earth to bleed
Isn’t earth a bleeding eye
When million lives die?
Damaged eye has another one
But for earth, there is none
Eye-like sensitive is our earth
And it must be at our heart

some of my poems

One of my best poems in my opinion:

BEST TASTE OF CRICKET[The Indo-Pak brand]


When the big time rings
No army takes its wings
When the whole nation is in battle mood
Army chiefs aren’t in battle mode
Rather,captain spins coin
Tension brings everyone pain
“Thrash them”pakis shout
Indians yell “smash them out”
Hence starts battle of guts
And not the battle of guns
When batsmen hit lightening shots
Bowlers appeal with thunderous shouts
Crowd soak in rain of thrill
In breeze of cricket they chill
But clouds of mistrust remain
Mutual trust we should regain
Let terror shun its bloody path
& change into a flower pot
then, with a lovely ‘dosti’ flower
taste the best cricket flavour!

BREAK THE RULES!!

It is a said that studies and entertainment dont go hand in hand. When you are studying, you are expected to off the music. Or for that matter, any entertainment source is kept away from studies.
But this is not always true. It is just not possible to have a monotonous sequence of events that define your lifestyle.It is possible to mix your hobby with your profession, if you are willing to do so. And when you do this, you hardly even feel that you worked hard all the day!!
Every day, every hour, and every minute is meant to be experienced to the full.
In fact we can experience every moment in life if we do what we like the most and add a purpose to it.
In any case, as someone said, rules are meant to be broken.

A cup of Java!!

What I/We know about Java is like a cup of coffee in comparision with a gallon!!
I say this because there is nothing like being perfect in Java. There are so many methods(or functions as you may call them), grouped by classes that you can hardly remember all of them at a single time.
That is the power (or should we say the difficult part of learning) of Java. And mind you, Java is continually evolving to include several more classes, methods, interfaces,...... with each new release, say 1.4.2, 1.5, etc.
And I frankly believe that what Iknow till now is not even 10% of the complete "Universe ofJava"!!!

on 30 NOV 2006

TODAY IS THE TIME TO MODIFY SOME OF MY PREVIOUS PROGRAMS IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ENSURE I GOT THE RIGHT OUTPUT.
IT WAS'NT A CAKEWALK AT ALL FOR ME AND I WENT ON FOR SOME 4 HOURS TRYING TO GET THE DESIRED OUTPUT BY ADDING MORE FEATURES TO AN APPLET THAT SHOWS A TABBED PANE!!
AND AFTER THIS ITS TIME TO RELAX A BIT WITH SOME MOVIE CLIPS FROM KRRISH ON THE PC, AND PLAYING NFS...

AND YES--TODAY IS THE RELEASE OF THE MOVIE "SAINIKUDU"

SQL+JAVA+MUSIC+MOVIES+HTML= PAST WEEK

U KNOW! THE PAST ONE WEEK [NOV 19-26] WAS A KIND OF A ROLLER COSTER RIDE FOR ME IN TERMS OF WHAT I LEARNT, HOW MUCH I LEARNT AND ALSO NOT MISSING OUT ON ENTERTAINMENT A BIT.
IN FACT I FELT AS IF I ACHIEVED SOMETHING WORTHWHILE, WHEN I JUST TURNED BACK AND SAW WHAT I ACHIEVED THIS WEEK:

• WRITING A LOT MORE JAVA PROGRAMS, APPLETS, SWINGS, etc WITH MINIMUM ERRORS AND FROM SCRATCH, WHICH I NEVER THOUGHT WAS EASY.
• AND ALL THE TIME I NEVER STOPPED THE MUSIC ON MY PC WHILE WRITING PROGRAMS, MAKING IT THAT MUCH INTERESTING.
• EXPLORED A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF CREATING WEB PAGES USING HTML- NOT JUST BASICS, BUT EVEN UPTO CREATING HYPERLINKS, INSERTING IMAGES, FORMATTING,etc I AM EAGERLY WAITING FOR MORE ACTION WITH A BOOK I BORROWED FROM NIIT LIBRARY!!
• AND THE MOST EXCITING PART IS THAT I NEVER MISSED OUT ON MOVIES THIS WEEK THAT INCLUDED "PAHELI"[ON DD1], "BOSS"[TELUGU], "CASINO ROYALE"[ENGLISH].

FEELING MUCH BETTER NOW!

THE PAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE IN TERMS OF PEACE OF MIND, DUE TO SEVERAL REASONS- BOTH AT HOME AND PERSONAL LEVEL. I FEEL A LOT BETTER NOW THAT I AM ABLE TO CONCENTRATE ON MY STRENGTHS AND NEW THINGS I LEARNT RECENTLY, LIKE BEING ABLE TO WRITE JAVA PROGRAMS OF MEDIUM LEVEL DIFFICULTY, CREATING MY OWN WEG PAGES USING HTML, UNDERSTANDING SQL BETTER, MORE INTERACTION WITH FRIENDS,...
