You read it right http://boardschool.edu.in/ is the new website of our beloved school, Secondary Board High School, Cuttack, Odisha. Our school is fondly called Board School. This new initiative is taken by the cumulative effort of the Old Boys association of Board School. The website is going to be functional soon.
We are trying as hard as possible to make this site functional as soon as possible. The proposed website will provide information about teachers, students and different events of past, present and future.
Old Boys association will also have a separate section in the website. on the eve of golden Jubilee of the school, this site will be functional.
We lost a living legend today to pancreatic cancer. His presentation style was unique and captivating. I do not own any apple product, due to high costs and not being value for money. But I have always looked up apple products to gain inspiration while I search products in my own range. E.g. recently I bought a Sony Vaio laptop, because I could not pay double the price for the same hardware and similar software in MacBook Pro.Keep in mind that in India we pay a lot more for US products. But I bought a white colored laptop, just because it looks so cool, just like MacBook.
I was very much impressed by one video on youtube that teaches you how to present like Steve Jobs. Below here is that video.
Now as you can see, it is really cool
I remember another great Dr Randy Pausch succumbing to pancreatic cancer. He gave the last Lecture, see the video below.
In 1970 Steve came to India to learn spiritualism from Neem Karoli Baba a Hindu monk, along with the future 1st employee of Apple Inc Daniel Kottke. Went back as a Buddhist. I do not know what that made him religion wise. As his biological father was Muslim, Mother was Christian, Learned religion from Hindu, got converted to Buddhism, which is a derivative of Hinduism now considered as a full fledged and separate religion. Still then Hinduism accepts the followers of Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism as its own. Anyways in short as of any genius Jobs’ brain was what mattered most.
I have been absent for a long time from my blogging. I apologize. I have joined in SCB Medical College, Cuttack as Anatomy PG. So here teaching future doctors seems to be my future. I love teaching and interacting with young budding minds very much. They have ambitions and will to carry it through the blizzard of problems.
Many a problems have passed.
I wish to write longer and meaningful posts. Hopefully I will soon do it.
My Nokia 5130 just got fried. And as it was just over 1 year Nokia is not going to listen. When the intelligent people at Nokia Care faileds to reboot my mobile I went to find a better atleast costlier one. i had always thought of the E series. So I enquired. the Mobile Store at Cuttack told me E63 and E71 are out of production. E72 is at Rs16800 and E5 isat Rs11800. I made a little enquiry. E72 is the best but old with only 128 RAM but Eg has 256 MB. But I overlooked the fact that E72 has front camera and it has autofocuss. Now i regret it. So afte some pondering I purchased it and infact I am writing this blogpost from my E5 itself via BSNLGPRS. Though the keyboard is OK to write on lack of front side camera and costly 3G in India are killing me. Let us see how my E5 works out.
By the way I do not know why videos downloaded from Youtube do not play on this device. Some one in the forums told me that probably it is due to the fact that the flv files need a swf player to play. But I have downloaded flv format files from Procedure Consult website. And they play on E5 quite well.
I am a little bit dissapointed over its mediocre camera quality especially its led flash which is a spoiler. But the led flash works pretty decently as a flashlight. Just hold the space bar down to on/off.
Rs1400 for one year extended warranty for this mobile which I bought for Rs11350 from The Mobile Store on 27th November 2010 is way too high.
The guys at the mobile store told me that the cost was around 100 to 200.
So I feel cheated. But the fully functional office suite by quick office with excel, word, powerpoint and pdf was definitely what I expected from E series.
All in all a mixed experience.
