Its great to be back , blog buddies . And shit on my ISP , they only gimme 400mb monthly . Anyways , its good to be back on blogosphere and as always the healthy air fills my lungs .
:D

Auroral Activity

Oh, my its been a long time since i have blogged . Hey , dont shout at me , shout those f*cking Model exams . Those are Damn .
And this time , what do i have for the Normal passer By ??


"Auroral Conflicts " , yeah i have always being astonished , with the Flow of mind , The RANDOMITY , it exhibits , the power to feel and talk inside .
Man , what an eternal Entity , has god created , unexplained with its mind boggling features .

Yeah "Mind is Mind Boggling" ( Recursive paradox hehehe ) , :D .

People , have always and even now , striving to bring upon the same Randomity , artifically , but In vain . Though the field on "Ai" is sure rapid in its development , but they cant explain or even get near to the randomity the mind exhibits .

How can the mind , talk inside us , make us go in "Thought Cycles " , can make us emotionally struck , bring upon our creative side , make us envy , laugh , go angry , feelings , how can anyone explain the Electrics of that Entity , constantly emitting Auroras , of our inner selfs !!!!!!!!!!! ?????????? . Do i see this '!' , or this '?' .

And , how can one explain the situation , " Hey , actually !! , that was the one i was thinkin , how did u know it man ,,,, did u read me r somethin ... " . Yeah the situation where , u were thinkin somethin and ur friend uttered , it as if he had seen inside U .
So , ultimately , is Mind a physical entity , controlled by a bunch of backup cells , or a "Unexplained mental phenomena " ?????????????????

So , i think u got , what was inside me , THINK ABOUT IT , and feel free for ya comments , Im waiting ...........................

Im thinkin ,Thinking ,,,

Blender Jems

Oh , gr8 . Its been a long time since , i have blogged , and this time i return again to those BLENDER times .
Yup guys & ( not so sure ) girls ( considering even the 60's & 80's ) .

Though im currently , not learnin Blender , ( i lack time :( ) i think i should give people , some resources , if they are currently learning Blender .

So , if u still dont know what is blender or what it can Do , i strictly encourage you to look at their Gallery ( Cause we know , that the application raises interest ) . Visit the Gallery at www.blender3d.org , its really fantastic .

And the complete Noob on Blender should land here , in Order

http://www.bl3nder.com/tutorials/ ( Contains Noob & some Advanced tutes . )
http://www.ibiblio.org/bvidtute/ ( Contains Decent tutorials .. but GreyBeard is gr8 )

And i do , honestly think the above list helps ,

So Happy Blending Guys ,
Have a Nice Day , :-)

It is JALBUM . ( java based :D)

Equally , made for both Advanced users , & those dont mind lamers , this Album Generator , comes with great features . And i am , waiting to tell you its excellent features . ( Boy oh boy , lemme start ... :) )

(1) First of all , it doesnt matter if you use Linux , Windows ,Mac , Blah blah ... , it uses Cup o java , & hence runs anywhere .
(2) Easy to use , makes this a Gem for Bored Housewifes :D .
(3) Equally complex , cause it has ability to edit the templates , and hence , its great for customized templates .

Fender Blender

Its been a long time since , i have written about Open source software , and this time its goin to be a little entertaining . I've always been astonished , how a few of those Open source software could grow from a sapling to a whole banyan tree , and one such is BLENDER3d.
It grew from a small , 3d package for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback.

What can u do , with blender ? , u ask me . what u can do with those enterprise , high costing , resource hungry , softwares like LightWave , Maya , 3dsMax , u can do it with Blender . But Beleive me or not ( hey this aint one o those Ripley's :D ) its free . U dont pay even a cent ( or 50 Cent :D ) .

And u should take a look at its Gallery , man , i couldnt believe my eyes myself , it was awesome.
If time permits have a look .

Blendy Wishes ,

Dreams are Doors

Ok , this is one post , i should write , to get myself up . Actually , i am suffering some kinda Worm attack r somethin , that im starting to forget more things per day :-| , ( actually im exceeding the limit im allowed ) .

That thing got me , to read back one of Kalam's Books ( Dr Abdul Kalam is the current president of INDIA , and ofcourse he's a Nuclear scientist ) . So i think nice thoughts should be shared , hence this .

We people , have this situation , ofcourse its normal and everybody have it . Have u had the situation , where u wanted to "Achieve " something , or get something done , that u start to "Think" , over it . You continue your thinking process , so that it eventually evolves , obviously going under and mixing within your subconsious feelings and you start to DREAM on it.

The feeling starts to get strong , and you start to enjoy every moment you think of it , and could attain a heart filling pleasure , by actually thinking of the results , finals , and the fame , which could follow you , when the "Dream" comes true . And eventually we have actually " finished the Project " .

So , friends , i think you could actually gain something useful from this posting of myself . ( Though this one is not GEEKY !! , even geeks require some kinda oxymoron to get themselves go on & on & on & ......... ) .

So , feel that , "DREAMS ARE DOORS " , and try to dream & dream about something you want to complete , let it loop itself recursively & let the dream take you on .


(
Very important ; We see above , what a dream is capable of , but ofcourse it requires other components to "WORK" , and they are

1. Passion for u r work . ( you should actually love what you do )
2. Work if not HARD WORK ( yup , u cant do some kinda Harry potter magic here .. )
)


Leaving you once again ,

Happy New Year

I Wish you passers by a DoughNut Sweet , Purple colored , Lavender Smelling HAPPY NEW YEAR . And my friend BLOGGING Buddies , get a square of it .

Let this year stay as prosperous as last year '-' (minus) those devastating hits , earthquakes ... blah blah ,, stuff and more Good Sign , Luck , Dreams , Works Added together squared .


I feel so happy , do you ????
If u , then feel free to comment MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!

Friends Meet

Thank God , My "exams" are over now , But sad , the college opens in jus 5 days . Okae , must enjoy atleast until . So i started today , actually , waking up asusual . The air was cool , happy that i could fill my lungs up with some fresh air ( Rare these days :S ) . I suddenly got a phone call from my old school friend , who said he could drop in , if i was free .
Gladly , i am , so i said that i was waiting , and he dropped in .
And Mind me this posting goes for him .

He is a "should-mention" guy . Actually , was a friend 'o' mine , since those lollypop days . But He was sure a pretty decent , silent guy whom i like for his high thoughts , slow and steady pacing , and his yogi-style of work . Happy , i could have a friend like him .

We started talking and querying each other , since it had been a long time , we have met .
Slowly , he again reached his yogi-kinda "osho" speeches . He advised me , to meditate , and the powers , which he felt from it . And its power to save "mind" from the so called Adolosent diversions , ( which like any other teen ager , i suffer from ) . Actually speaking , my friend saved me "One more Time " , with his speech about yoga & meditation .

Meditation is one of the powerfull mind-control , techniques , which India has given to other countries , and its power is visible from the very art when started to practise .

Thanks to that Guy , I can concentrate , on my Work now ..

And Yet , Yet Another reason

AbcNews

Yet another , security flaw has been discovered , on usage of IE , which makes desktops , vulnerable . Read the above link in order to get the Lo-Down on that .

And see that the "How to avoid it" section , says that , " Neither Firefox nor Opera are vulnerable to this attack ".

But , i think , since IE has 85% of market share , people are focussing on that , to detect vulnerabilities & exploits .

But , lets "think" , of FireFox winning the browser wars , say with 80% of the Market , who knows , Something more deadly things , kinda " Hey i hav never seen anything like this before , holy shits , blistering barbicles , tundering typhoons " , may be waiting .

I dont know , but if you have read upto this one , then please leave me a comment , on what do you think about this and the future ..

Cold Wishes ( yeah.. i'm shivering ) ,

Another Butcher , Poor IE ..

I hav tol this many times & i am telling this again . Get off IE & get yourself an other browser . WHY ??? u ask me , here's another reason.

Yet & I mean Yet another Trojan hunts down IE , & aint that enough for u to shift over to any other browser . HUH if you dont believe me , then better read this one .


" Trojan horse rides on unpatched IE flaw "
" Attackers are taking advantage of an unpatched vulnerability in Internet Explorer to target users of the ubiquitous Web browser, Microsoft warned late Tuesday. "
- CNET News

To read the whole shit click here
I think that post wont be there long enough , .. Oh My God .

Why , People , Why ? This world & propably the internet is too large for one person , and Aint there any other browser which rather is safe , satisfactory & cute enough ???

"Answer me" , I will because there are many alternatives & my votes go to the free browsers mostly open source .

Answer No 1 : Firefox , This one's simple irresistable , & it juz got better .
Answer No 2 : Opera , This norwegian little cute kiddo , became a freeware (Oh my) .
Answer No 3 : Flock , I cant stop saying about this one , this is sure delicious , ( to bloggers esp , check out the homepage .. ) but still under development .

And the next time , i see one of you using that crap IE & crying over the hunt of your system by a trojan or a virus , ... ( this makes me mad .. :-( ) , I am goin to give you a nice pat , like your mother would do for u , where you ask me , on your Ass (Mind thaone ) .
:) Juz Kidding ,

PVR , The DVR Kingdom !!!

Actually , i came across this , on the video released by one o those Creative Commons .
Who am i talkin about , whom else than Kevin Rose & Dan Huard . I came across one o those sites ( www.thebroken.org ) , i got a mail from them , about their new site ( www.systm.org ) .
Their Second video ( A must see , if u ask me ) , They have explained splendid , about setting up your own DVR , without the hassles , most would face .

Whats a DVR ? DVR stands for digital video recording . Look at this situation , You're not home , u miss ur favourite show on , Tv , what would u do ?
Juz setup the PVR software ( Personal Video Recorder .. ) to juz , record the show , juz for u .
Then u come home , & u missed nothing .

Actually , I've took this topic , because , i want explain about the Open Source PVR alternative that exists ... u know what i'm talkin about , U R Right , MythTV .

U migha heard about the Window$$ Media Center Edition , But look at the cost , I'd rather spend on a 10.2 Home theater , for that .
But Myth Tv , allows what Window$$ crap can do ( mostly ) , with no cost for the ware .
So any show , anywhere in the world , u can schedule , backup & pleasure is with u .

Best of all , No Monthly Subscription .

So Myth Tv a check out , if u drop for the DVR . U r sure 2 stay .

Best things , Come Free

Have u ever been frustrated , because u could not get u r media player , play the video u downloaded . Sure if u had been in the net for long u musta had such a situation .

But , luckily there is a single player , which could play almost 98% of the formats available online . Wanna know what it is , yeah Mplayer .
It is a movie player , available for many systems & platforms . It can play any normal MPEG,Mp3 .... to the rarest and mostly not working Matroska container formats , NuppelVideo etc .... ( believe me , only this & only this player , played the "Potter" film i once downloaded .. , not even Matroska's recomended player did !!! ) .

Also ( if u r not a complete up to the brim kinda newbie !! :)) ) , It has a very wide range of output drivers , yeah the one from X11,XV,OpenGL.. to ATi,3dfx and Matrox . ( it can even use MPEG hardware decoder .. )

It also has , what a normal media player has , like On screen display ,subtitles , etc...
Juz look to this page , to see what it can really do ..

Only disadvantage , u would see , is that it doesnt have a GUI ( thats cause its power is from the command line .. ) . But third party Gui's by other members are also available..) .
Only the linux binary has a GUI .

The best part , im gonna tell u is that , the player is available for "FREE" .
Yeah its under the GNU GPL Licence . ( Even the source is free .. if u want it .. )

So i think u musta had the taste , what a true , powerfull Open Source software can do ...

One thing i wanna tell u , is that this player is fighting its way against Software Patents ( this because , mplayer could play any format , mostly it should not play .. for eg Windows Media Video should be played only by a Microsoft licenced player .. ) .
So it's our job to support , the player for fighting against the patents . We can do this by explaining to others the "No use " of patents & why it should not be there .
Mplayer also currently takes Donations .
This would surely , encourage the developers .

So i think i have done something for this wonderful player , ( campaining .. :) )
What about you ??
Support the player , Let Open source GROW !!!!!!

Spyware 2 Spy !! where ????

I 'm dead sure , that 99% of those , who are reading this article , must have come across spywares , adwares , mal - shits & other kinda stuff .

Yeah , u mustav had situations , like u cant go to u r favourite search engine ( Giggle !!!! ) , Ur connection seems 2 be slow .. ( yeah dead slow mo.. ) , 2 many ( yeah really 2 many .. ) popups blow u out & other situations like that ...

Believe me , i hav seen people spend "coins" , gettin their system clean . Juz Common Sense & set of right tools can get ya out of most ( yeah 90% ) .

At first , if ur a windows XP user (most are .. ), get ur system a Windows SP2 ( cause the windows shit , has 2 many bugs .... & vulnerability pussies .. where others can easily place their penises .. huhuhuh ... Juz kidding ) . You can find it here .

Then kindly follow these points to get those asses outta u r system .

1.) Dont click ( or even see .. ) popups , like " Your system is affected with Spywares " , " Your system 's date is changed " , " Find your weather.. " . They r juz poo's , trying to get u r attention .

2) Dont install any activeX , crack.exe ( kinda.... like this ) etc files , which popup while u surf .

3) Try to avoid toolbars like Mysearchbar , Alexa ... etc .. ( If u dont know what r these , U r rocking .. )

4) Be careful, when u r browsing Warez , Apps , XXX sites ... They say to install some ware , in order to continue .. ( believe me u can do without em ... :)) )

5) Now for some freebie ( yeah kinda , though not fully ..but gr8 4 our job ) toolz.

a) Spyware blaster - This helps in preventing known threats in cookies , dll's ..
b) Spybot S&D - One o those Antispy's .
c) Ad-Aware - Another one .

Install and run a scan , juz quarantine or delete ( yeah whatever the above software says .. )
& try to run a scan ( quick !! ) regularly .
( We are using 3 different softwares .. cause nothin's complete ... )

And u r problems r gone .. ( yeah mos propably..) .....
Thats it , u r gonna love u r browsing experience ( atleast .. :- )
Juz try it ... u will sure hav luck ... i can say .

Warm wishes ,
The Cat . ;-) ( Meow .. )

Illustrator ? What do u think ??

Hah , My exams are returning & my ideas knock at this time ( Fcuk em.... arghhhh ) .......
I really dont know what to do .. & if i sit right now , i may literally cry at those exams , but this thing is really making me crazy ...

Iam thinking of a site on Illustrator .
Illustrator is a great tool , & if u ask me it is a lot more versatile & powerfull than photoshop ( esp when it comes to the pen tool ... )

I find that the internet lacks sites on illustrator when compared to photoshop ( i find one everywhere ... ) . Illustrator though being a gr8 tool , lacks respect it should have got ..
So i think , i may start a site on illustrator & show what can be done with it & reveal its true power . I may start , & could update regularly . I am thinking about tutorials , links , galleries & etc ............

So any piece of advice ,suggestions , frm anybody i would love it ,
And not to forget , I would love some help from u ... people ... If u are intrested , let me know .
Juz leave a comment .

And , if u r a illustrator guru or something like a illustrator Oracle or something & with a heart to teach , i wont deny any tutorials from you . ( Its really Gr8 man ... :) )

Dont forget to visit my site at http://bootcat.50webs.com

Vectori with inkscape

I recently came across a new OpenSource vector graphics editing tool named Inkscape (www.inkscape.org) . It's cool .. man , and i think its competing with Adobe Illustrator . After seeing this , i downloaded and tried it on my desktop . To say it's one cool tool to use , and has SVG as its native format . now thats one thing , u gota clap u r hands , :)) . It has all the normal tools one would want for trying vectors for their work & ofcourse the new gradient editor was nice to work with .
I personally like the way inkscape renders its gradients ( believe me , they are better than illustrator ) . but i dont know why , it takes a lot of system resources & this is why its a little heavy ( think , it's cause it uses Pango ... oh don know... ) . otherwise its an excellent tool to work with & can be used for professional works too.. I've even seen a couple of starter tutes in the TUX Magazine (www.tuxmagazine.com ) .

Nothing's better than using it overselves , so next time u are thinking vectors , be sure to give this tool a try ..

And dont forget to visit the gallery section at inkscape.org (http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Galleries )


Have a nice day , people .
