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 .

Breaking the Silence

Generally, a blogger (like me) fails to blog continuously, because one or more of the following Four reasons. 1. There is nothing happened in my life to blog about..( which is impossible.) 2. There happened lots of things and got busy with the things that came up. 3. No internet connection. 4. good bye to blog For me, Its the second reason that make this blog silent over the last month. Not only that there is slight touch of third reason i.e.I had limited access to internet. It is good in one way, as always quality work is associated with the efficient usage of limited internet rather than slogging all time in internet. Over the last month, though I have been to Chennai and Bangalore over the last two week, I could not meet lots of my friends. As I used to say, In Life, "It happens". And also, There were lots of events, trips and learnings i have come across that definitely needs blogging. Hope I would blog something better in the next blog other than mere update. Let's...

Sultan, The Warrior

Kannu, Ithu Puthusu, Sultan. What ever Rajni Does... that makes a huge talk in Tamil Nadu... and Now, the fire was spreading all over the country and unto the world. Thats shows how his charisma wins the heart of crores of people. While Sivaji running great across theatres, homes, internet... there was large amount of hype and hoopla around his next movie... and yes, Sultan, The warrior would definitely make history in World Cinema. Being a fan..Here goes what I thought negative about the Trailer: - * Rajini - doesn't Appear as Rajni... When you take a close look at him... he appears as Slim Vijayakanth.. * Even in animation, they have used Doop for Rajni. It was clearly visible when he hides his face while swinging the sword. :) * I don’t know why he jumps so unusual to take that sword. Style?? * Soundarya Rajnikanth - is directing the movie... Remember chandramukhi graphics... which was widely appreciated (?*&#&) * Only the name of the movie was ready, other casts were n...

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 ...
