Working with Two Monitors

Dual MonitorMany times I have wondered, how come a person, able to work on two pc simultaneously, at the same time. I remember in one of the Google Company videos where a guy (Google Employee) would be working in two big PCs. It takes me, almost more than a year, to realise that its not two PCs, its just two monitors with extended desktop option provided by the operating system. In those days, it was surprising for me, but now, it was part and parcel of my everyday life. Anyways, Its a great option by which can drag and drop application across the monitors.It was very helpful. Particularly, In my case, as a web application development, where I can code in one monitor and can refresh the browser on the other monitor. If I were doing some documentation. I would open my mail box in the one monitor and keeps doing on the documenting in other monitor. It makes the life simpler and working more effective. (at the cost of electricity).. So I would recommend anyone who buys a laptop to buy another monitor. so that he can watch movie/video songs in one monitor and simultaneously work on Laptop :) . Its simply the Excellent option..Here is the link that explains how to do that..

A straight summary of the above link in windows XP, Extended Desktop Option lies in the Desktop Right Click -> display Properties -> settings tab .

Dual Role

Eversince my childhood, I loved watching movies. Its like living a dream and it's a wild fantasy. With the advent of technology, We the humans, were able to achieve a new dimension in Movies and "Dual role" is one common tweak in movies. Usually , Its One person playing two Characters in a film like twins, Father & Son etc and often (Esp. In Indian Movies), there would be some imperfection in screen when these two characters come together in the screen. Its really surprising to see two identical characters together. Just imagine how it would be if I was standing in front of you as two Aruns. Happy .. Right...So.. lets go to action. Lets assume that the twins were discussing about how to play dual role. The following simple bold two points explains how three aruns come to live in the above photo..

Katrathu Kaiyalavu

There was a Girl, who was Tall & Thin & Fair, her Hair, her Hair, was a color of Ginger An English Rhymes from the Tamil Movie, "Katrathu Tamil", One of the Excellent movie of the year, packed with interesting, informative dialogs and intuitive screenplay. Achan kovil, Xaviers College, Tirunelveli (My Dad graduated there), munusaamy(A tamil Graduate), takes me back and forth in time. Even the dumb story of a dream tiger which is dreaming about the dream desert, adds unknown beauty to the movie. A One line about IT... "If India is a growing, it has to be equivalent in all industry. if only Leg (IT) is growing, it is a Disease (yaanai Kaal), we have to cure it." explains the impact of IT over other industry. Just like real life, this movie has got no logic :) Unlike my earlier blogs on Movies, This blog going to be a sketch of incidents that cames to my mind while watching this movie. Incident 1: Guindy, 04:30 pm, I have just reached the Gandhi Mandapam Bus

Blog Updates

Past four days, I have been doing some changes to the blog that should have caused some web outages of my blog. I am sorry, if you are one of those who caught in the mid. But the sad to note, is that I have revert back all the changes that i made to blog, as I was dissatisfied with my changes. Anyways, Blogs, the new medium of sharing, consumes more time (kills time) and in addion to that, it needs to be arranged in a proper order. Few days back, I have posted a video on my Edinburgh trip made by Chirag, soon more videos were yet to be released, under the category "video series", I have to ensure that the size of the video is less, so that many can view it without any problems.
