Microsoft Silverlight & Linux.......

It has been a long time since i wrote. Well it has been really a long time, stuck in the worst city Bangalore, then moving back. Being in there in certain things. Having a fifteen minutes of fame. Everything was there. I did miss writing here in blogger. Though there was twitter to write to, it is not fun. But a great way to say out ideas short and sweet.

Well, after a long time, and trying to figure a way out to make Linux my main os at work, i succeded last week... Yes! DimensioN Studio 2.4 started to work in linux, it took a little hard work to figure out which files were missing. With a little more help from winetricks, i did get it to work properly via wine. It was so much fun doing it. I was just happy that i need not have to move into windows anymore.

Then i just thought of giving the new browser based cloud product of ours a try from linux. But this darn Microsoft agains comes into frustrate me. Silverlight doesn't seem to work with linux. and every attempt to make the new product work with Mono Moonlight also failed. It was frustrating to think that i have to login back to windows just to work with something which is browser based. This is not fair.....

Talk about microsoft and fairness, what am i talking? So i had to give the error messages and i was able to only hope that either mono team will release Moonlight 2.0 soon and it would be compatible with Silverlight 3.0, or our engineering team will make sure it will make changes to accomodate the moonlight too. But who knows....

The suddenly today when we were just discussing things, suddenly it turned towards the new product and linux compatibility. And My interviewer asked me why don't you try with wine or whisky and run the windows version of browser and try to make it work. This was a nice idea. Firefox 3.5.3 was up in 5 minutes, but then again Silverlight decided to play bad. Everything i tried was in vain. Nothing worked. Now i have others in the race. It's got to be me or the Engineering who should find a way out.... But if others find, that is also fine.

Why?! Why is it that at everyturn a new obstacle arises......

Number 2

It was a long time since i had gone into a quiz competition. And what a way it went, the same way i always do. With the buzzer at the death, and a last minute, last question mad rush, with hearts pumping up high, and many at the edge of the seats. Would you risk everything you have got. Will the rest leave it for the tied two to fight it out.

I am, no 2. the 1 who drives no 1 to the edge.

Federer Vs Nadal 0r is it Nadal vs Federer......

What ever it may, I wish Nadal wins again in a 5 setter, similar to what we all experienced in the earlier match day before yesterday.....

Rafa, you gotta win....

Gold Star!

Unconference:
An unconference is a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose. (Wikipedia)

It was not fair!, I attended the whole session today just to win the gold star. But, all i could manage was, my second consecutive silver star. Mani, did not make a note of the questions asked today, unlike previous sessions. But i cannot put the entire blame on him. even i did not remember what questions i asked... That was not right from my part also.

so well, better luck next time. I will win my gold star next time.

I have taken leave from tomorrow. so i can study for jlpt. Hope i pass this next time.

And the winner of the All England Tennis Championship 2008 is..................

Rafa vs Roger Wimbledon 2008 Finale update

hmm, its already 12:38 in the morning here. rafa and roger are locked at 2 sets each , with 2 games each in match decider set, and a deuce, and rain stops play again.... Still no match on tv. am following the match in Radio Wimbledon, for the past 2 hours.... what a match, i did not expect roger to come back after the way he was brushed aside by rafa, still he came back. He is not leaving the crown, Rafa drubbed Roger in French open finals just a month ago. Now if he wins, he will be the second spaniard to win at wimbledon and also some one who one French and Wimbledon on the same year after Borg.... Man.........this is a thriller, why don't we get to see matches like this in regular occassions.... Rafaaaaaaaaaaaaa please win. God let Rafa win today, please....... The score now 6-4, 6-4, 7-6(7-5), 7-6(10-8), 2-2...... and the match is stopped coz of rain...., wait... the commentator on Radio Wimbledon is saying some like the match is gonna start again,........

It is 8:08 pm at Wimbledon now, and the news seems to be that the covers might be out by around 8:20 pm....... can't wait to continue hearing the commentary, But got to go to office tommorrow morning,.. need to get up at 6:00, it's gonna be difficult. I know, both for me and rafa, but i think we are gonna make it.... somehow.......

God let rafa win today.................

Rafa Vs Roger Wimbledon 2008.

I don't know what is happening.... They say it is raining there, and i am not able to watch the match on tv because of the CAS here.

From the net : Roger is 2 sets down, seems at last Rafa is going to win against roger, this will be a match to watch. when the rain stopped play it rafa is to server at 4-5 to roger. this is the end of Federer, and may be the beginning of the reign of Nadal.....

I pray for nadal to win. it is boring to see the swiss win always...........

Nadal please win, don't let the rain break lose your focus.........

TOPL concludes Orangescape beat Team 4-1

The TOPL which was running along for the past month and half has concluded finally, with Orangescape beating us (Team) by 4 matches to 1. We are planning to call them for another one in the month of August / September. Though OS did not play to their potential they did win easily. But i did see some nice, good plays from team too. and if they are trained properly, we can really give a run in the next edition of TOPL, if it ever happens.........

Rafa Vs Roger an Update...

Well my hopes did crash.  Though Rafa pushed Roger to him limits still Roger won the title for the 5th time this year.  Truly he is the King of Grass.

 

and tried to upload the photos here in the albums section, but some problem couldn't upload,  come on support the Firefox if you want me here.

so i uploaded the pics in Picassa

go here to see the pics

Rafa Vs Roger

The wimbledon tennis finals is happening as i write, between King of Grass and the King of Clay, hope Rafa wins this.  Coz if just one guy rules the court the game will loose its shine, someone needs to challenge him, and Rafa is back again to do it, this Jan i missed to watch him, but next i won't.  I will be there to watch every match of him. 

But, just coz i want Rafa to win doesn't mean i am big fan of him or for the matter i don't even hate Roger, they are masters of the game in different conditions and courts.  For the matter i am not even a fan of any one, not even a single person i can identify to be as a fan.  I don't know why, but i watch them play i laugh with them, in every match i take sides, i cry for them, But as it is it is just a game and they are players, today he is there tomorrow someone else will. i don't know why i am so detached with everything not only sports but from everything. 

Like as though they are just something passing.  Why am i not like everyone else who follows or worships some one or the other.  Why don't i take sides or even go the distance to defend some one is better than other.  who knows.  But hey i think i wrote abt my new mob.  right.  Last friday i shot some pics. and i will be uploading them soon.  Well anyway hope rafa wins.
