I got this error in chrome but it happily went through in IE.
This error can occur when connecting to a secure (HTTPS) server. It means that the server is trying to setup a secure connection but, due to a disastrous misconfiguration, the connection wouldn’t be secure at all!
In this case the server needs to be fixed. Chrome won’t use insecure connections in order to protect your privacy.
Typically we copy contents from wikipedia articles – paste it into word documents or other wysiwyg editors. Then format it and print. However after posting the question on facebook questions (http://www.facebook.com/q/Is-there-a-easy-way-to-print-wikipedia-articles-without-the-sidebars-and-see-also-references-etc/10150286691460015?t=1&keep_objects=1), I found that there is an option right there in the sidebar to get printable version or even download it as pdf.
http://techcrunch.com/2009/02/27/print-you-favorite-wikis-as-books-courtesy-of-wikipedia-and-pediapress/ has some more details on new initiatives. We can add multiple chapters into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book and print out combined articles too.
BarCamp Bangalore 9th edition was held in our Intuit Campus (Bellandur, Bangalore). There was a good crowd of around 250 people. Intuit, OrangeScape and FusionCharts were the official sponsors.
Attended the sessions :
Also helped Saurabh in presenting the session: Android Programming for Desktop Programmers
Had very informative and entertaining sessions.... Got lots of ideas and web links to check.... Eager to attend the next one :)

I typically start office time with browsing my office mails followed by gmail and live mails. This is now invariably followed by 30 mins of browsing technical sites and I have kind of grown addictive to these:
Regularly visit:
Few other sites I visit occasionally:
Few more which I rarely visit:
Trying to avoid mention of FaceBook, Orkut and Twitter where I spend considerable time too :)

In FaceBook
Two different streams or a classification of the news stream would be a good way to get the relevant information displayed to the correct audience of your co-workers/family/friends :).. Hope FaceBook implements it soon!

After nearly 9 years of being involved in desktop software development, am finally thinking of shifting to the online/mobile space. Attended a 2 week JavaEE course and planning to start learning developing on Android platform. Hopefully can shift to that domain soon.
Java EE course was good but felt I learnt the syntax and “how to do” part but not the why part. Am looking for some suggestions on learning projects for JavaEE, so if you have some cool suggestions, drop it in :)

Read that the FaceBook app Farmville has more users than the “in-thing” twitter. It’s a good time-pass activity but I think it’s the competitive spirit that drives it rather than the interest on the art of farming – plowing/ buying seeds/harvesting.
Even with the vehicles like Tractor, Seeder and Harvester, it’s really tedious to harvest plants, plow the land and again put seeds. There are lot of cheat sites, tricks for Farmville which suggest plant different kind of plants with different harvest times so that you won’t get bored :)… Same applies for the different dishes in café world.
Well, one easy solution is to outsource it! I am sure there are tons of people who would be willing to pay a small amount for their farms to be harvested before they get withered, when they are having a good sound sleep. Read that one of my senior colleague was doing the farming as her son had to go on a school trip and he didn’t want his crops to be withered out. I am sure she or for that matter anyone who is going out on trip or busy for few days won’t mind shelling out bucks for this :)
What do you guys think?
Registered domain – www.cmohan.info from godaddy.com. Got a offer right now for 1.07$.. Actual is 9.99$ per year. But it means next year onwards I have to pay 9.99$ if I have to keep it :(
Just redirecting my blog (http://bschandramohan.blogspot.com) to this for now… Blogger allows custom domain. Details on how to do that can be found here. If you are stuck, just leave a comment and I can guide you :-)

Nope... I am not talking about "How patents works?" google search or in HowStuffWorks.com.
Some people tend to not like software patents as it kind of restricts the features being used widespread. Mostly OpenSource minds tend to believe nothing should be patentable and any new idea/tech should be reusable. Though makes sense, in this cut-throat competition world, don't see that as a possibility.
Now coming to the actual questions - I am still figuring how things work in the patent world. I see some cool ideas not getting patented or then some "not-so-cool" ideas getting patented and lying with no-one using them. Should all patents be productizable? Not definitely. Swype as a product - not sure if it will definitely catch on, but atleast with the patent, it knows there cannot be 100s of imitations of that in the market or a larger organisation adding it into their product and not paying any royalty to the actual idea generators.
Some companies just file patents to get richer by filing lawsuits against larger corporates who might be using the some rudimentary ideas which have now been granted to them.
There are both pros and cons... but given a chance, I believe people should get their ideas patented if applicable.. ..

Looking at the great comments - fast, hypnotical, magical, blindingly fast, love this... thought it's worth checking it out.

It's a cool invention and using it might help in quick typing, but it does have it's nemesis'. It's not 100% accurate as typing (if you type correctly) as it uses some kind of data matching with it's dictionary to find the words as you swipe across the panel. Not sure you can enter Abbreviations and some code names using this mechanism. A great invention but with not that impressive dependency.

Happened to come across couple of posts that talked about Google Trends and how they can be utilized to check the popularity of few things:
Interesting to see how the popularity of actresses on the web really indicates the career graph... movie hits.. some big gossips about them.... some changes in their personal life has really kicked a new interest in finding about their profile :)
I did the same with Intuit and surprisingly found Canada providing more web traffic to intuit searches than US. Popularity seems to have decreased but time to get back to the old ways :).. Also happy to find India being a great traffic provider :-)

Quicken, QuickBooks, TurboTax are interesting to check too... Check all together in this link!

Do you listen to music before dozing off in ur bed? Do u leave Laptops On and realize u failed to switch it off before dozing off?
Here is a simple dos command to set off the shutdown/log/restart of your PCs.
Run Cmd. To shutdown after an hour (60 * 60 = 3600 secs), use Shutdown -s -t 3600.
To abort/change a shutdown at any time, do a shutdown -a

So it's been around 3 yrs since I worked on a maintenance product trying to understand the existing codebase, layers, architecture etc. It's always easy to start on V1 products I had worked for in MT or the "Prototype" projects in MS.
And now to work on a product with millions of lines of code with as little documentation available as possible & to complete it in next 3 months, it's going to be a tough task
Here are some tips to go about it -

I am totally new to Perl.. so this was fun writing:
Invoke it with the directory you want to search for.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#Finds all the unique extensions in the current directory and its subdirectory(recursive).
#author: Chandra Mohan
use File::Basename;sub recurse($) {
my($path) = @_;## append a trailing / if it's not there
$path .= '/' if($path !~ /\/$/);## loop through the files contained in the directory
for my $eachFile (glob($path.'*')) {## if the file is a directory
if( -d $eachFile) {
## pass the directory to the routine ( recursion )
recurse($eachFile);
} else {
## Find file's extension
my(undef, undef, $ftype) = fileparse($eachFile,qr"\.[^.]*");
## Add extension to the global array.
$filetypes[$i++] = toLower($ftype);
}
}
}# &toLower(string); --- convert string into lower case
sub toLower($) {
local($string) = $_[0];
$string =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
$string;
}#define Global variables
our @filetypes = ("");
our $i = 0;## initial call ... $ARGV[0] is the first command line argument
recurse($ARGV[0]);system "cls";
undef %saw;
@out = sort grep(!$saw{$_}++, @filetypes);
print "@out\n";
