I am back!!

It has been a very very long time since I last posted. What is surprising is that I have not posted much in 2009!!. Any way, from now onwards I am planning to post regularly if not daily.

2009 was a good year if not a very good year. I joined a new company after working for almost three and half years for a company. Upgraded my Oracle certificate. Had a great time with my best friends. Honey valley trip was very good.

2010 seems to be very promising year. I have lot of plans for this year. I hope everything goes according the plan.

Sudhi's blog: Timeiddaga

I am very much exited!!. Sudhi started blogging again here.
He has already posted two good blogs about the recession: The chosen one and Hit the nail on its head.
I would like to wish him all the best.
I am looking forward to some very good post from him.

Oracle Certified Professional

Now I am an Oracle Certified Professional DBA. Today I completed my last exam. For the OCP one has take 4 exams. I took two and half month to complete all the exams. I should have completed this long before. Soon after joining OCWEN, I planned do the certificate. I don't know why I kept on postponing it. Better late than never!!.

It feels great to be a certified DBA.

Vijai is Blogging!!!

I would like to wish my best friend Vijai, who has started blogging here, all the best. He has already started with a bang with his first post. I am sure he will write very interesting things in coming days.

Its been very long time since i last blogged. Now i am planning to blog regularly, at least one post every week.

New Look

Finally I made some changes to my blog.

One more masterpiece from Google!!!

Now you can Search the Google in Kannada (All Indian languages). It seems good. It takes lot of time to type the words. I tried Kuvempu, Karanth and Tejasvi.

Poornachandra Tejasvi

Tejasvi, my favorite kannada writer passed away recently (Apr 5, 2007).

Its a Great loss to Kannada and to Karnataka. Kannada missed one more Jnanapeeta award (Last one P. Lankesh). When Lankesh died, I was studying 11 in JNV Uttara Kannada. At that time I knew him only as the editor of Lankesh Patrike. I had not read any of his books at that time.

Tejasvi, apart from being a great writer, he was developing Kannada fonts, net savvy like most of the youth, great photographer to list a few...


At 5:30 pm my colleague told me this sad news. But I did not believe him at first. Then around 3:30 AM I Googled and I had to believe it...

Tejasvi's first story that I read was Sushmita mattu hakkimari, when I was in 8th standard (I think). Recently I read his Annana Nenapu. Its about Kuvempu, its like his early auto bio. I really enjoyed it. Then I read Jugari Cross, his one more gem. It was beautifully presented on staged in Ranga Shankara.

Still I have not seen Tabarana Kathe, which is directed by Girish Kasaravalli. I could not find this movie in CD shops (Still trying....).

Coming Soon... Googls's Power Point

Google is adding Power Point to its Google Docs & Spreadsheets docs.google.com/.

Google Docs is a web based application. You need to have a Gmail account to use it. You can access it form any where. Even you can share it with your friends.

What I like most about Google is thier simplicity. Very simple user interface (GUI). And most of the apps are web based.

This move may cause some problems to Microsoft Corp.

I am using Docs to store some of my Technical links(Oracle Docs,Unix Docs, etc).
