In the middle of nowhere

-

So another week past and another period of time is committed to history. I have learnt a few things. First is however prepared you may be sometimes you just fall on your face and you can't do anything about it.
Second thing was you can try your best and still you may not be able to stop yourself from falling on your face when the situation is just so.
I was on field enjoying a paid vacation in the middle of nowhere and things crapped a bit to conspire the falling on the face.
There was only one positive thing about this, the screw up was not at my end and whatever didn't work, I didn't have anything to do with it. Some people would call it saving own skin but I don't think so. In fact because of this thing only I was able to enjoy the time.
Thankfully I had internet access via the trusty old GPRS. It wasn't fantastic but it did crawl along. And the ample amount of songs on this phone and my adorable Zen Mozaic kept me entertained. The games on this phone also helped.
Next time I'll not forget to keep my laptop and my wacky but working Western Digital with me. They got lots more stuff than 3-4 GB of music. 
Few remarkable things that happened were
We drank tea in bagpiper glasses at a place
One of us got sick with stomach infection and he had some memorable bad time.
I managed to keep up my diet and maybe so didn't get sick.
The place was a nightmare and in the afternoon we used to sleep on thermacol  sheets.
Geez a memorable trip.

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

-
Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

Selecting new phone plan

-
I use a Reliance Jio SIM as my one and only cellphone number. I used to have another, but I found little use for that. So I discontinued that other SIM card. It was a Vodafone SIM and I had bought it thinking I would be using it when I visit my hometown. Turns out it's not usable there. So adios. Coming back to Jio, it was working so far so good for a while. And it was quite cheap. Then they increased the fares about 4-5 months ago. And it was costing ~Rs 7 per day. This was for unlimited Jio-Jio calling, ~300minutes free to other telcos, and 1.5GB daily cellular data. Now I got home internet, so I thought to cut costs on this. The current plan goes for INR555 for 84 days. This includes 1.4GB 4G cellular data per day, 300 min calling to other telcos, and jio-jio free. That's Rs 6.6 per day. Now I'm not even using 30minutes calling per day. And due to home internet my cellular usage has gone down. So I decided to go for some other cheaper plan. This one is INR1299 for 336 da...
