<br />
Yeah i see flickr stats some 4-5 times a day :P.<br />
Though those number doesn't matter much but still it looks good. At times I feel like i want to know the average views per day of last month and flickr doesn't provide any computation like that but while going through the javascript of the stat page I found something worth. Flickr's server now passes on stats values as an array of json object to the browser to render it. I utilized that array of object to calculate the average of last 28 days :)<br />
Here is the script to run in console in Google chrome and Firefox :) ( who cares about IE ) .<br />
<br />

Such photographs are selected on multiple basis. Flickr's algorithm to choose the pics is always changing. Top 500 photos from this list are shown on their explore page. Some of my images made to the list there. Here I am going to list them all. Hope you enjoy this. <br />

<span style="color: red;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
After a while i decided to go for a photowalk at Someshwara temple with Bangalore photowalk group. The interesting thing about this photowalk is that this place is so damn near to my place and i haven't been there. I wanted to shoot this for a long time but never get a chance or probably i was not determined enough to shoot alone :D. <br />
Anyways following are the shots from Someshwara temple and around the market. I will keep on updating this post with the pictures so please keep on checking it here.

<br />
Someshwara Temple with a fellow photographer from the group. It was clicked after 5.30 PM as it opens after that only. <br />

<br />
At the back side of someshwara temple, there is car street where its a fairly big market is located. Exactly at the back side of temple there is a key maker. It was an interesting subject for photographers from the group, not the key maker but the keys :D <br />
<br />

<br />
After shooting outside the temple for a while we went inside. This was the time when all the priest starts to prepare for Pooja. I was lucky that one of the priest happily posed for me when he was going inside the temple.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">During my last photowalk at Madiwala market, I met a small kid. He was more than a hyper active child.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">He was very quick to learn things and understand the situation. As soon he saw me with a BIG camera in my hand, he jumped at me to see pictures in my camera. Now the only trouble was to make him understand that i want to click him before he checks my camera :D and he could understand only <i><b>Tamil</b></i>. This is where my friend Haider helped me as he can speak <i>kannada</i> and <i>Tamil</i> both. Finally the little champ was ready to pose . He was over joyed with camera and in order to get things done he made his Elder brother too pose for me too. Here all shots from him here lined up. </span><br />

Very soon she became the darling of the whole family. My sister's entry was banned to any place without Vanika. The name was given by her father. My younger brother gave her the nick name "Pucchu" which derives from the word "Pucchi", which is a slang used for "small peck on Cheeks".

This time its Nandi Hills. Nandi Hills is hill fortress in Chikkabllapur district, around 65 KM away from Bangalore City. </div><div>I know lot of things have been said and written about Nandi Hills but I can't help writing about this beautiful place. </div><div> I have been there twice and each time I found a different atmosphere there. </div><div>First time I went there with my friend on a Honda Aviator. I was told it would be difficult to climb the height with a Honda Aviator, but we decided to give a try to this. </div><div><br /></div><div>We started from Koramangala, Bangalore at 4.30 a.m. Frankly, we both didn't know the exact route to reach the hills. All we had some was idea regarding how to reach to the Bangalore Airport. I am not a good driver at all specially with very less experience on the roads, but driving vehicles without gears doesn't require much skill set. There were very few vehicles on the road, very soon we were out of the city and reached airport. There was some really nice lighting on the road, but as soon as the by pass for the air port passes by, it becomes a problem as there is hardly any light on the road to guide the route. With a girl on the back seat give me some thought of security concern and I told her that. We decided to go forward as it was not much distance to cover left. We had to ask about the route from 1 or 2 people on way and there we were at right turn for the Nandi Hills. It was a beautiful track, with long trees on both sides of the road and some frosty fresh air was wobbling our ear and nose. </div><div>Another left turn and then a right turn and we were on straight track to Nandi Hills. there is barricade 5km before the Hills gate, which opens at 6'o clock exactly. There is a small shop there which serves maggi, omlet, tea and some other stuff. But beware of this shop, sometimes people from this shop distracts you from the path by saying the barricade is not opened yet and you should wait at the shop. By this you may loose a chance to see a beautiful sunrise at the top. The same thing happened to us actually. There is an abrupt turn after the shop, from that shop the barricade is not visible and one can't guess what is there on that side.</div><div>By the time we started from the shop, it was already 6.15 A.M. </div><div>This is the view from the shop.</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFalfOd40Ag3ErHGfChRKTcAe-gScKG2nmBSgq1HOeoX1HlJQUTcDqXMam4l-kkfNFGKOJo7lBVgwd5eMV9rRbvTgOscsBjFXO8x5_8LvxrBcxtEhSMqUPpx5434a3pOjVzirklH-WiEan/s1600/view-from-the-shop.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 399px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFalfOd40Ag3ErHGfChRKTcAe-gScKG2nmBSgq1HOeoX1HlJQUTcDqXMam4l-kkfNFGKOJo7lBVgwd5eMV9rRbvTgOscsBjFXO8x5_8LvxrBcxtEhSMqUPpx5434a3pOjVzirklH-WiEan/s1600/view-from-the-shop.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576920884416520834" /></a><br /></div><div>It was hilly track sort of a road which was going up and up. It looked beautiful passing that side. At the gate of Hills, there is paid parking. The ticket for the fort is Rs. 30 per head excluding the parking charges. There was big queue as the ticket seller ( Govt. employee ) was a real slow guy. We bought the ticket and started our way to top of the fort and hill. </div><div>On the way up, one can see the clouds down below and it was majestic scene to view. We stand there for a while and I took some shots there. </div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs9NcFFrFcqN01P4UrjqEMK9Dlv0xKVW9JNDMs9SXelLzlPIgIJWRz_0PddCZnJr4kWityHqVuRQqp_Dq5Ka4rXhyBL06QdybvKQYMccOskR03WztEWFkJiEmT7b_m8W6aBiFrHye9x6ms/s1600/IMG_2991.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I already got the job with my first interview, but as the second interview was already scheduled, I wanted to go through that as well. </div><div>This XYZ company was a big company, no. 1 in their domain. Manager and Lead of that team were supposed to take my interview. </div><div><br /></div><div>First they started with some questions regarding my work, my technical liking, my previous working experiences. </div><div><br /></div><div>The interview was more regarding 'C' language and my networking/communication skills. </div><div><br /></div><div>The first stupid question which was asked : </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>int main()</b></div><div><b>{</b></div><div><b>#define MAX 25 </b></div><div><b>}</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Q. Will this code will be lead to successful compilation ? </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>In my mind, I knew I haven't seen any code like this and I don't have any experience on compiling such code. Now, what is the problem with this code or with my knowledge ? First of all, nobody writes such code in industry. Specially working in embedded systems, #define or macros are avoided at the time of writing code as it makes the data section of binary file pretty huge. But this was not an excuse for not knowing the answer. </div><div><br /></div><div>I simply said no I don't know the answer. </div><div><br /></div><div>Manager: You haven't seen such code before ? </div><div>Me: No, I haven't ?</div><div>Team lead: Can you guess some answer ? ( with a grin smile on his face) </div><div>Me: How can I guess when I don't have any choices ? </div><div>Team lead : At least try ? </div><div>Me: Yeah, sure I can give it a try. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then i tried to remember the compilation process of a C program. I was explaining them each and every line how I am thinking about it. But they were just interested in <b>yes</b> or <b>no</b> from my mouth. After lot of brain storming, I was sure that answer is Yes and I told the answer. They were happy with the answer but not by my logical way of thinking. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, they asked lot of questions after that and finally this was the last question of the interview: </div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Q: Can you write down a code to transmit a file from client to server using TCP sockets ?</b></div><div>Me: Yes, I can. Do you want me to write the code for both sides(client/server) ?</div><div>Manager: Yes. </div><div><br /></div><div>First I thought for a while, then I wrote the pseudo code for both server side code and client side code. with current syntax of all the system calls used in correct order. But being a pseudo code, it didn't have correct parameter settings for sockets created on each side. </div><div>At this, they were not happy. They wanted me to write the complete socket creation code with correct parameter settings. I told them i don't remember the syntax to write those settings, though I can explain all these settings in details. There were not ready to listen all that crap from me. What could I say, I had to tell them that the last time I wrote the code at socket layer was 2 years back in college, and that time i wrote the complete ftp client/server myself.</div><div><br /></div><div> In my mind, i was thinking, why the hell anybody needs to remember the syntax of these lines, specially when these lines are written only once even in 100k lines of code. Most of the companies write their own wrapper classes over these socket calls so that these are very easy to use. Even though I am writing a code from the scratch, tons of code is available on internet from where I can copy these 3 or 4 lines of code. What is necessary is to know the internal working of these settings and function call, plus design and architectural related issues. But nobody is here to buy that. Anyways. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Finally they said, we are happy with the interview but you need to show your socket programming skills in the next interview and our HR will contact you for the next round. The next day I got a mail from HR regarding the next round and I replied her with a negative acknowledgement for the interview, because I was not happy with the way interview happened with that team and if I need work with that team, it is not going to help me anyways in future. Though the company was very good and were paying lot better then my current job but still i preferred no to opt for that :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Pankajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031360580446433392noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347185560551088449.post-44957437708396080002010-12-24T08:58:00.001-08:002010-12-24T09:18:22.824-08:00Quotes :)I always wonder how does people can write/speak such impacting quotes, what goes on in their mind when they write quote something.<br /><br />Recently, when I was going through some tough time, few things came to my mind and just typed those in my gtalk status.

I viewed lot of photographs from Canon PowerShot G11 group and enjoyed those.</div><div>Finally, when I got my camera, I started to upload the pictures on flickr. Then started to add photographs of to some of the groups that i liked. After some time, when I used to browse and comment on lot of photographs, i found some really interesting ways of commenting. People use to leave the comments with the group icon and a text<span class="Apple-style-span"> "Post 1 Award 5"</span>. It simple means that, group has a rule that if somebody adds a photograph to that group, <span class="Apple-style-span">they should <span class="Apple-style-span">comment on next 5 photos immediately</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"> with Groups icon and text</span>.</div><div>following is an example of such a list of comments :</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMjhtPeZ9t8yBv2wFJ7DK2xtwYX6u2di7rleROpJVy7OFWcjiJBs5-bQspv0OgxLWlnXb8seOAw7-ortVrKV3XQI_hduCUnXneLuvo8HTm3Tr-rAqvCOoiVFSj8bqxCX0lQ_zPHJzsPHQ/s1600/Screenshot-3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 742px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMjhtPeZ9t8yBv2wFJ7DK2xtwYX6u2di7rleROpJVy7OFWcjiJBs5-bQspv0OgxLWlnXb8seOAw7-ortVrKV3XQI_hduCUnXneLuvo8HTm3Tr-rAqvCOoiVFSj8bqxCX0lQ_zPHJzsPHQ/s1600/Screenshot-3.png%22" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554289033994920034" /></a><br /><br /><div>Initially, I found it to be a good idea, that people will get to see other people work anyhow. I joined couple of those groups and started to do the same thing. Whenever I used to add one photograph to that group, there was a flood of comments on my pics. At starting I enjoyed it and I used to do the same with other peoples photographs. I used to comment with groups Icon and some good text. </div><div>Mind you, most of these are comments were nothing more then just a group symbol.

To hell with all those groups which forces to post comment on all the pics. I just left it completely. What I learnt from this is not going help me any way and most of the these comment that you get on your pictures are just fake, nothing serious about it.</div><div><br /></div><div>After that I see lot of profiles of people which clearly mentions that please don't put those award comment on their pictures, if somebody does that, they will delete the comments and will block the user :P .</div><div><br /></div><div>So these awards and comments are not welcomed at all.</div><div><br /></div></div>Pankajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031360580446433392noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347185560551088449.post-84511872656141499182010-10-09T12:05:00.000-07:002010-10-09T12:30:11.128-07:00Bhatt Camp's Formula for a Hit Movie<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hi, </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I recently watched the trailer of a new Hindi movie<i> <span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">"Crook"</span></span></span></span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span>starring <span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Emran Hashmi</span></span> ( Serial Kisser) produced by Bhatt Camp.

Now what is wrong with browsing pics at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">flickr</span> ?, there isn't much problem with flickr, but to see pics<br />one needs to click it everytime to go the next image. Sometime it becomes very difficult to see all images because of the load time that each photograph/page take to load. With flickriver, when you start to browse someones photostream or group upload photographs, it automatically loads next 4 photographs simultatnenously and when you browse down those 4 photographs, it automatically starts to load next 4 photographs :). It means no click no waiting, simply browsing.<br />Now flickriver team have added a new feature "comment" on the photographs, isn't cool that you can view and comment multiple photos on the same page, I find it really cool and very easy too :). With every comment it automatically adds the path you took to see the pic.</span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_SzVCOrTVvaJocPy3zQcpz2DEYpNOsKmmVNxaf_XbwNKNOJ50aDZljKK2RLYYeT7ZuwNW2jVop69kQFOch09isoaLQS2GdeSnvtKAUYRyMm0vefkZj_jWJcAqcGUoDOGdzVed_m8pOiT9/s320/Screenshot-81.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 143px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519240622537494546" /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">For web browsers likes <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Mozilla Firefox</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Google Chr</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">ome</span>, flickriver team has launched extensions as well, which can easily be installed an used.

What is wrong with G11 ?</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>G11 is a prosumer point and shoot camera from Canon. It is amongst the best point and shoot ever. I used it for around 10 months and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was a great learning exprience using that camera as it has all those functions and settings available just like a DSLR camera. It had a slightly bigger image sensor then other point and shoot cameras but still it was lot smaller then APS-C image sensor available on the common DSLRs which results in :</div><div><br /></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">1. less details in day light, landscapes </span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">2. lot of grains in low light situations with higher ISO and even at lower ISO while shooting sunset. </span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">3.very less control over shallow depth of field. </span></i></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">About Controls of G11:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">1. had a very poor manual focus control system. ( thats it, no complaint about anything other control :P ) </span></div><div><br /></div><div>About Size:</div><div>It is very big and i couldn't carry it without a separate bag altogether hanging on my shoulder all the time :). </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Q2. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Am I using G11 to its full capability and </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">what else I want in a camera</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">?</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div>I asked this question to my self lot of times, am I using G11 to its full capability. I shoot landscapes, sun set, sunrise, macros and some candid shots. Some time i feel that I haven't used it till its full capability specially when i see what other people have done with G11. But still, I would like to update the camera. :P because the quality that a DSLR adds the value to exposures is just fabulous. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Q3. Why an DSLR</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"> ? </span></div><div><br /></div><div>Yeah right, why an DSLR specially when there are lot of the other cameras available with bigger image sensor and interchangeable lens options. Like Olympus EPL-1, EP-2, Pansaonic GF1 ( falls into micro 4/3 image sensor category )and many more. Why an DSLR? </div><div>There are multiple reasons behind it, the thing that i wanted to experience with an dslr is shoot through a viewfinder ( no range finder specifically). The precision with viewfinder appeals me alot :). </div><div>The other problem is the cost of the camera and lenses. Being in a new category the above non-dslr systems cost more. Over the next 2 years I believe, not many people ( specifically in my friend circle) won't be using such cameras, it means that i can't exchange lenses and acessories with them if a buy a non-dslr :P . </div><div><br /></div><div>With famous DSLR series, you can find lot of people with whom you can share your accessories and there are lot of option to choose accessories from in the local markets. This is what i have learned from my experience with G11. Being a very different camera, I couldn't find it's accessories in India. :(</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Q4. Nikon or Canon ?</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Both brands are very good and maintains their own niche. Both have tremendous camera lines for whatever budget and needs one have. When I had a choice I wanted to go for canon because the kind of budget and needs I had canon's rebel series full fills that. </div><div>As a G11 owner, I understand the canon's terminologies for camera and their guidelines. Although it doesn't matter much but still it was plus point to go for canon. I have been using my friends canon's DSLR and I am very much comfortable with their controls and going for some other series might lead to a learning curve which requires time and I am little short of time always. </div><div>Other then that, most of my friends use Canon and having a canon means I can exchange accessories with them :) . </div><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" text-align: left;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:16px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Q5.

Canon's 50D is semi professional DSLR, which is slightly better then D90, this camera was just 13k more the 550D. I spend around 1 hour to read about this camera, basically i was looking for is it worth spending 15k extra to get 50D. Then finally I closed my eyes and went to buy 550d. :) Don't have much reason to deny 50D, except one i loved 550d :).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">Q7. 18-55 mm or 18-135 mm lens ?</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">I was in dilemma to go which lens.. 18-135 kit was certain a costly affair. it costed 20k more then 18-55mm. I thought alot about it, but finally i concluded that i should go with 18-55mm right now and if i need i can go for 18-200mm lens which is more versatile and a better value for money then 18-135mm. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">So finally on 24th August 2010, I bought my first DSLR :)..</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">so this is the small story about my DLSR :).</span></span></div><div> </div></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Pankajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031360580446433392noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347185560551088449.post-82354739523354587062010-08-08T02:19:00.000-07:002010-12-24T10:02:19.299-08:00Yet Another blog<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">hi all, </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">As the name suggest another blog, I started writing a blog earlier but that was created with more of technical things in mind.
