Welcome to Puneet’s World

I like this song from my childhood, from the time when I hate the songs when they came between the movies.

Besan ki sondhi roti par
Khatti chatni jaisi maa
Yaad aati hai chauka-baasan
Chimta phukani jaisi maa

Baans ki khurri khaat ke oopar
Har aahat par kaan dhare
Aadhi soyee aadhi jaagi
Thaki dopahari jaisi maa
Chirdiyon ke chahakaar mein gunjey
Raadha-mohan ali-ali
Murghe ki awaaz se khulti
Ghar ki kundi jaisi maa

Biwi, beti, behan, pardosan
Thordi thordi si sab mein
Din bhar ek rassi ke oopar
Chalati natni jaisi maa

Baant ke apna chehra, maatha,
Aankhien jaane kahaan ga-yin
Phatey puraane ek album mein
Chanchal lardki jaisi maa

I have a system with 1GB ram but the openoffice takes a long time to start up. Once I thought do some "googling and find out what is the solution to this problem.

This is because by default the application only uses 9MB of the RAM for it's graphic cache. To increase the Graphic Cache, go to "Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Memory" and increase the "Graphics Cache" from 9M to about 128MB (or whatever you want). Restart OpenOffice and you will notice that the latency has now dissapeared.

While you are at it, the Memory per object setting allocates memory for each object. The default is 2.4 MB which may need to be increased if you are working with high quality images or decreased if you are not really using images and you need to save on memory resources.

Enjoy!!!!

Once I am trying to redirect a cgi script with cookies or after writing the cookies header. I searched a lot of stuff and found that in cgi redirection can be done only before writing the header information. Digging in to the problem I found this simple solution....
<script language="JavaScript"> location.href="www.geo-location.com" mce_href="www.geo-location.com" ; </script>

Sites like orkut.com are blocked in most of the companies. These are the few ways you can access the blocked sites

1. Using IP adress : Instead of giving the url of the website give the direct ip address of the website. Generally sites are blocked using the url string. But if the ISP is doing a reverse DNS(determining url using ip address) lookup the site will remain blocked.

2. Use cached pages : Type the url in google or yahoo.com and view the cached pages, But this technique will work only with static sites not with dynamic sites like orkut.com

3. Using translation services : Sites like google, altavista and yahoo provides language translation services. You can use these services to access the blockes sites. The trick is to translate the site from english to english. This ways you are using google and yahoo as proxy servers, which might have not blocked at your workplaces.

4. Using Proxy servers : You can anonymously surf the web using the proxy servers like www.proxy.org. Proxy servers hides your idenity (your ip address and host name) from the web. Beause using your identity you are accessing proxy site and from proxy site you will be accessing blocked sites.

5. URL Redirection : You can use the url redirection services like tinyurl.com. Using these you can access the blocked sites because the url remains the same in address bar.
