For the last few days, My AVG free antivirus is failing to update with the wierd reason. Today, I thought of finding the solution for it, and dropped the search text as the error message and clicked "I'm Feeling Lucky". the first result that pops out.. is from winhelponline blog http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/error-invalid-update-control-ctf-file-when-updating-avg-anti-virus-80/ The above page states the solution to the issues as delete two *.ctf files in some update directory of AVG installation. Not only that, in that blog, the author Ramesh Srinivasan, has provided a VB script to delete the file by running a vb script. That's a very good one. I downloaded the vbscript and run it(after going thru the vbscript) to delete the two ctf files. Immediately after running the vbscript, I tried the AVG update, it updates flawlessly. Thanks to Ramesh Srinivasan. Thats solves the AVG issue. Disclaimer:- "Always Check and then Use the vbscript downloaded from Internet, ...

கடந்த இரண்டு நாட்களாக, நான் எழுதிய பதிப்பு, பதிவு செய்யும் தறுவாயில், மென்பொருள் மற்றும் இணைய முகவரி அமைப்பு மாற்றம் காரணமாக, பதிப்பு காணாமல் போனது. இந்த பிரச்சனை இன்று தன்னிச்சையாக சரியாக இருக்கும் என்கின்ற எனது நம்பிக்கையை சொதிப்பதற்க்காக இந்த சோதனை பதிப்பு. மீண்டும் சந்திக்கும் வரை, தடங்கலுக்கு வருத்தம் தெரிவித்து, உங்களிடம் இருந்து விடைபெறுகிறென். நன்றி. வணக்கம்.

Its been more than three months since my last blog, the reason as i said earlier blog,i.e., I could didn't find much time spend in internet, and struggling/slogging lots of time to complete the work. Though still the work is not completed, However trying to get the blogging mode. Still not clear of what to write in this blog. May be I could add the some new(though old, but new for me) BSNL's Unlimited internet Plan for almost 625/month (this is not exactly correct, as to avail this price, one has to pay 7500/year in one shot to BSNL) but i.e, quiet a good price. Hoping that it will decrease more. Moreover, now, applying/registering for Broadband can be done by online / no need to visit any office and hence 24/7 service. the url is here .. <http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataoneform.php> Before sign off, I have to apologies my blog visitors, as all their comments were moderated. I would try to make it available by the next week. See you tommorrow with wordpress/theme update...

Its a fantastic fantacy movie from imsai arasan fame Chimbudevan. His way of story telling is thrilling at the same time its full humour. To say a particular scene that explains the above line, God (prakash raj ) cautions dubaakkurs that 2100 people to going to die in the next 4 seconds and later, its fun to know that it was 2100 mosquitoes that died. The chimbudevan's style of mocking against the big corporates is quite innovative. In this movie the target was moved from coca cola, pepsi to Infosys (as kollaiasys :). Its not only innovative, but also courageous attempt in making fun out of the real life situation prevalent in the society. Hats off to Chimbudevan. There is lot to blog about the movie, and i became a greatest fan of Chimbudevan. Waiting for his Next movie. There is another thing to cherish in this blog as this is my first moblog or mobile blog. that makes this blog goes a level up.

Tray it - Its a one of the tool, i was searching for a long time, finally got it over the last week. Its a free windows tool using which we can mimimize any windows application to system tray. Normally when I click the minimize button of an application, say for example Eclipse or Toad, it gets minimized to task bar. As I wont be actively using the application, over the time, my taskbar would be loaded with more than ten application. To overcome this issue, If I close the app, instead of minimizing, the next time when I open the app, It will be waste of time (Java based GUIs). So I want the application minimized to system tray instead of task bar, there by minimizing the clutter in task bar. Exactly this is what is done by this application. So Now on, Just press the Shift key when clicking the minimize button, the app will be minimized to system tray.(you have to download and run it) Note:- Also, using this you can play hide and seek on the app when somebody(boss) around your comput...

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...

Its my return to India or Karnataka after a year at uk. I am hoping to see lots of changes in the bengalooru and every place i would be seeing it in the next month. Anyways, let my surprises be surprises. At this point, before flying back to India, I thought of sharing a photo of me where I was flying in air. The photographic trick here, requires full of trust, faith and devotion in the following sloka. Jai Hanuman Gyan Gun Sagar, Jai Kapis Tihun lok ujaagar. Ram Dut Atulit bal Dhaama, Anjani putra Pavan sut naama Having said this sloka by heart, 10 times a day, all week. You may or may not be able fly. :)

Its Tamil to English time, Thai Poranthaal Vazhi Porakkum is a golden Tamil Proverb, it beautifully depicts the hope of every man. I translated the line to English in a creative way as when there comes January, there is a way. in Tamil calendar, Thai comes a day after, Boki, on which we will burn all our old scraps and we start walking on a new way. when i say scraps, its only scraps, and we should never forget the good things. Sometimes even bad things comes handy in future. so, what should i do?

Sa-rang-nee (love teeth) is a korean word for wisdom teeth which refers to the young age and the pain of first love. One and half years back, I still remember those days, I was very hungry, but I dont want to eat. I find it very hard to eat even curd rice. It was those days, all i had was some juice, coffee or milk or tea. I was not able to eat the cake for some celebration. I missed chicken biriyani in food court. All the sufferings is because of the Wisdom Teeth. I was under the impression that it was the last one. Now it's back again. Yes, Now, the terror strikes me again after a long wait of one and half years. Hope this time, it wont be so painful as earlier. But, I am sure it would grow into stronger and healthier teeth as the earlier.

If you think this blog is about new theory explaining how 3 x 9 equals 3, you are wrong. Bindaaz. If you really interested in learning how 3 x9 equals 3, watch the movie "Taare Zameen Par" and here goes a mixture of my learnings and the review of the movie. When I read the sub title of the movie "Every Child is Special", I thought why only the child is special, its everything in the world is special. Later I consoled myself that it was a movie about child, so it has to be like that. if Aamir Khan (or any well established person) is not there in this movie, I am sure that this would be a another documentary movie gone unnoticed. The presence of Aamir Khan in this movie makes it a commercial one. When I say "documentary movie", please dont imagine, that I am underrating the movie. Most of the documentary movies were master stroke, but its sad that they always fail to win in the commercial market. Another interesting point I have noticed is that, this movie...

This is the video created by my friend Chirag (chirag4u.blogspot.com), made with the collection of photos taken during Edinburgh Trip. Stay Tuned...

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. For Now make sure you have.. * Subscribe to My Blog Entries (RSS) http://smartpandian.com/feed * Subscribe to My Blog Comments (RSS) http://smartpandian.com/comments/feed More Changes yet to come...

The Top Heroes of Tamil Movie Industries wont act in two minutes ADs. But, all they act was, for a 2 or 3 hour ads. I think they want the people to pay for it even it comes to watching them in ad. Its basically, a James Bond formula where almost all product finds a way to marketing through movies. However Tamil Movies were far behind from those Hollywood movies, where one doesnt feel the presence of Advertisement in the movie. Recently, I watched Billa 2007, the movie is nothing but a collection of ads. The Ads were simply stylish and Dialogs were sleek(+dubbed tamil). I like the creativity in Ads. But, I was really disappointed(surprised), when Pepsi Light Ad appears before the Ultimate Star introduction title. However, Billa is just another super hit movie in the line of Sivaji & Azhagiya Tamil Magan. What do you think about these tamil movies, is it really films or ads?

It was known that Indian Currency Appreciation, has caused hues and cries all across the country, from IT ( Saturday work plan), to the Textile Industries, (Trippur 1000s lose their job). Almost all industries that has a revenue based on Exports were affected due to this reason. On the first sight, It appears that India was going down. But However, its really, really hard to accept that these were the symptoms of rapid growth of India compared to other world countries. Manmohan Singh's Speech (dated 19/12/2007) quite motivative, and make us to look forward. “Our policy must be tuned [in] to sustain nine per cent growth even if world growth slows down and global food and fuel prices continue to remain under pressure. India should have the ambition and the courage to sustain the current acceleration of growth no matter what happens globally. Our domestic economy can sustain such a growth process but we will need to pursue policies that can sustain growth. While India must remain ...

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 ...
