Azim Premji's comment on reservation !!

Wipro chairman Mr. Azim Premji's comment on reservation: I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by an OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century. We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 km/ hour to an OBC player. Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal. Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters. There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying t he ministers and politicians (that can really help the country...) Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country...) Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward... Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country. Let's be proud of being an INDIAN...   May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live... "Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."

Installing module in httpd apache on Linux

We can implement logging option at apache-httpd level to keep record of request and response byte count.
To implement logging modules mod_logio and mod_log_config in to existing httpd, we need to upgrade existing apache by yum update . This 'll automatically install all modules needed by httpd. httpd.conf default logger need to be changes as follows

Procedure to follow :

First check whether mod_log_config module is installed on apache using command
httpd -l
if its present go ahead for installing mod_logio module
if not present install mod_log_config using following method ( change mod_logio.c to mod_log_config.c )

1. Copy the apache-httpd source to /usr/local ( if its not available)

2. Add module mod_logio.c to existing apache-httpd using following commads.
apxs -c $httpd-2.2.3/modules/loggers/mod_logio.c
apxs -i -a -n mod_logio $httpd-2.2.3/modules/loggers/mod_logio.la

3. Load shared object files needed.
ldconfig

This 'll add below line in file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule logio_module lib/apache/mod_logio.so

4. Log format in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
By default ( something like this ):
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
should be changed to ( %I %O should be appended ) :
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b %T \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\" %I %O" combined

5. restart apache-httpd
6. Check for access logs for change

We need to make sure while installing new httpd we should use these options to get request , response bytes.
./configure --enable-layout=RedHat --enable-auth-digest --enable-deflate --enable-proxy --enable-rewrite --enable-so --enable-status --enable-info --enable-logio

Its advisable to try the same on local machine before trying out on live server.
Let me know if in issue while installing/upgrading... 

must read...(humor)

good one :-)

At work, Raman and Narayan were chatting:

Raman: Narayan, I've been attending night classes for 5 months now and I have an exam next week.

Narayan: oh!

Raman: For example, do you know who is Graham Bell?

Narayan: No

Raman: He's the inventor of the phone in 1876; if you take night Courses you would know this.

The next day, the same discussion took place:

Raman: Do you know who Alexander Dumas is?

Narayan: No

Raman: He's the author of "The 3 Musketeers", if you take night courses, you would know this.

The next day, once again:

Raman: And do you know who Jean Jacques Rousseau is?

Narayan: No

Raman: He's the author of "Confessions" , if you take night courses, you would know this.

This time, Nac rayan got irritated and said: And you, do you know who is Balakrishnan Kuppuswamy?

Raman: No

Narayan: He's the guy roaming with your wife!! If you stop night courses, you would know.

Rule: There are some things more important in life than Work n General Knowledge

Now a days people gets addicted to cellphone, PC, TV . Earlier trend was old with cigar, drinks, gambling, etc

I came across addition of browsing over similar set of page again and again on net. Something like, just visiting google.com even u don't have any thing in mind to be searched. Too frequently checking mails are kind of such additions.

Today's blog is too control Web page addition. Use a simple browser like Firefox. Pretty secured and equipped with billions of plug ins try various things. Get a plugin called http://pageaddict.com/ , available to download in xpi format at http://pageaddict.com/download.html

It supported on Firefox 3.0 & 2.0 so no worry. U just need to install and config it. U can find plugin link in Tools-->Pageaddict

Click on it, it'll take u too its site. U can do required setting on site itself. Its very simple !!

Gateway of India!!

Recently I had visited CST and Gateway of India to show some great things of Mumbai to my cousin. 
He was happy to see the Arabean sea and The Taj. Location was too much crowded. Still it was okey for any Indian to enjoy the atmosphere. I noticed to shabby things in sea. Location just infront of Taj. Crowd use to eat stuff and throw the waste in sea. Have a look at below pic :

World Environment Day 2009!

The day was June 5th ! We had environment day celebration at office. We had a small kiosk rather just a gardener with handful of small plants for selling. The guy was illerate and wasn't even knowing names of the plant. Every time we ask something .. he always said,"saab, ye accha hai.. ye bhi lo"
Every plant was prices based on how much it has grown and the quality, health of plant. It was average ranging up to 100 bucks.
I took the below one :
 

2 days later, we have celebration of "vad savitri pornima" .. where Ladies- married women tag a thread around tree and ask for blessing for god of tree for their husband ... 
I came across a tree which they use to ask for blessing. It was a small brank of tree somebody brought after cutting from tree..  It was shame of human being to ask blessing from almost dead tree .. what a culture we follow. Can't we save some of geniun plants, trees and our nature to avoid such situation.

So .. its must for all of us to observe World Environment Day !!! 
Save nature ! before it ends !!!

Beautiful memories of school

It was almost 8 years, I left the school. Havn't seen those blue & white uniforms. Regular morning PT with Mulik sir. Vestle still bangs my head. That was final wake up call we had. Still remembers the orders and school bells bangs in head. Dangerous style beating. Specially TPJ (Tejerao Jadhav sir, Hon's in Maths), Prasad sir (English). We use tremble on entering class roon which was labeled as “English Lab”. Guys, can u believe, subject like English too have the laboratory. There were pics of many old authors, poets,etc. Including Shakesphere, HG Wells, Williams Wordworth, bla bla. Who the hell remembers the names of those oldies who wrote those bullshit poems and we need to mug them all.

I reached the school at noon. The only person known to me was Kumbhar mama. I called,"Kai Kumbhar mama, olakhale ka? (Kumar mama, did you recognized me?)
I was damm sure, the old guy must have forgotan things 8 years back.
Mama yelled,"Kai Tipale, tula kai watale. Topi, chashma ghalun aala mhanaje zale ka.. ha ha ha" (What you think, by wearing, spectacle and cap , u 'll fool me.. Tipale I remember you very well...)
To my surprise and happyness. "Thanks god... somebody still knows me here :) "

I visited the whole school. Took pics of those classroom, where we got punishments, got sticks on buttocks, that huge 10 acres ground, where we toiled daily PT (physical training) under honorable command of Mulik sir, that main notice board with very first name "Mahendra Tipale 80.80% , batch pass percentage 95.20%" ... pic attached.
