பெரிய அம்மணிய அட்ஜஸ்ட் பண்ணறது ஒன்னும் கஷ்டமான விசயம் இல்லைங்க. அவளுக்கு கோவம் வந்ததுன்னாம் “கோவப்படும் போது நீ ரொம்ம அழகா இருக்க தெரியுமா’ அப்படின்னு கத வுட்டு சமாளிச்சிடலாம். ஆனா இந்த சின்ன அம்மணி இருக்காளே, ரொம்ம கஷ்டம்ங்க. அவளுக்கு தோனுனத்தான் செய்வா. ஹூம். அவளக் கொஞ்சினாலும் செரி கெஞ்சினாலும் செரி, ஒன்னும் வேலைக்காகாது. செரி வளவளன்னு ஒளராம வெண்பாக்கு போலாம்.

These are small items, which do not belong to a separate blog entry. I’ll be adding more to this entry whenever I see one. If you have any such items, feel free to add in the comments.
Activating Windows Key:
This was an annoying thing to me. I work both in Windows and Linux everyday. Whenever I need to go to the menu, I need to remember which OS I’m working on and press the Windows ke/Alt F1 accordingly. Until I found a way to map the Windows key in Linux!
Open Keyboard Configuration (which is under System->Preferences)
In the table, you can find ‘Show the panel menu’ action under ‘Desktop’. Select the shortcut and assign Windows key. Now you can access the menu with Windows key, no matter which OS you are using
Full Screen Mode:
There are times when you want your application to be run in Full Screen mode. Firefox/Image Viewer by default support it. But not all applications, such as Text Editor/Eclipse. If you want to execute them in Full Screen here is the trick.
Open Keyboard Configuration (which is under System->Preferences)
In the table, you can find ‘Toggle fullscreen mode’ action under ‘Window Management’. Select the shortcut and assign your fav key (I’ve assigned F11). Press ‘Close’. Now no matter which application you are using you can press F11 and make it Full Screen. As you rightly guessed, pressing F11 again will bring it back to the normal mode. Now try Full Screen mode for Calculator and see the results
My Computer @ Desktop:
Having a My Computer icon in the desktop is really useful for a guy like me. If you are used to drag and drop your files in the Desktopto delete them, you would surely miss the Recycle Bin errrr Trash Can also. So here is how you can bring them to your Ubuntu Desktop.
Open Configuration Editor (which is under Applications->System Tools) In the tree, navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop. Int the right hand side, you can see some check boxes with user-friendly (!!!) text like ‘computer_name_visible’ and ‘trash_icon_visible’. Check whichever items you would need in your Desktop. If you really want the same text as windows like ‘My Computer’ and ‘Recycle Bin’, you can change it there (’computer_icon_name’ and ‘trash_icon_name’). You need to change the type from Integer to String before you type in the new name. Remember, you can give Remember, unlike Windows, you can neither right click ‘My Computer’ and click ‘Properties’ to get the properties of your computer nor right click ‘My Computer’ and do ‘Manage’.

Apple’s iPhone user interface is said to be copied from LG’s KE850. Both are full screen phones with similar buttons. I thought there should be something from Nokia as well. I was looking into Nokia’s site and found a similar model - N800. At $400, this is cheaper than the iPhone and its available in the market now.
BTW when I loaded the site, this is what I’ve got:
Watch out for the numbers dudes. Not-A-Number is definitly not a number to be displayed in the progress bar!!!
Few years back, I opened a PPF account with a SBI branch in Chennai. Today I approached a near by SBI branch in Bangalore to deposit some amount. They said that I can pay only in the branch where I opened. When I asked about “Anywhere Banking” ads, they said it applied only to Savings Account and not to PPF account. I enquired about changing the account to this branch. They said, it might take more than a month for that. Grrrrr.
Ok. Now what to do with the cash? I thought I’ll deposit it back into my savings bank account which is with ICICI. I was surprised that they are not getting cash in the counter directly. Rather we need to put it inside a envelope; seal it and deposit it in the counter. They will later open it in a room with surveilance cameras; count the cash and deposit it in my account. Why such a stupid procedure? I asked what if the total amount I’ve mentioned in the envelope differs from the amount inside. They said they will ignore what I’ve mentioned in the envelope and update with the actual amount. If that is the case why should I count and update the denomination?
The worst thing, I have to deposit the amount in the same branch where I have the account. If not I’ve pay 0.5 % charge (with a minimum of Rs 150/-)
That is the truth of “Bank Anywhere”. hmmm. Look into more details into “* conditions apply” in the ads.
Microsoft is releasing a professional version of Firefox. Its awesome. Try downloading and see it yourself.
Wrong. Google admits that search is not a solved problem and they are still working on perfecting it. If you are not convinced, you should answer why people who search for “email id of God” and “what color saree suits a dark woman” end up in my blog. And these kind of funny terms are increasing everyday.
Still not convinced? OK. Lets play a game. Given a site, you need to key in the search terms, so that the site is in first 10 results of Google. No parts of the domain name is allowed for obvious reasons. Shorter the length of words and smaller the number of words, smarter Google is (or smarter you are )

Nominated Googlipse for Eclipse Foundation Awards.
Let me cross my fingers and wait for March 5th for the results to be announced at the EclipseCon 2007.
[Update: 23 Jan 2007]
The list of accepted nominations is huge with big players like Hibernate tools, Aptna IDE, Subclipse, etc. Its now too hard for a product like Googlipse (which is not even version 1 and focuses on a small community). Lets see …
