Point Element

I've a songs collection of approx 45GB. It's not much when compared with many of you who'd have terabytes of Music sitting on your disks. I listen to Marathi songs, Hindi songs from oldies to latest Bollywood hits. In English it goes from pop to rock to party hits to Remixes. I like all kinda songs. I listen to Linkin Park, Creed, Shakira, Trapt, Hoobastank, Nickelback,Bob Sinclar, Korn, The Rasmus, Rohanna, Akon and many more. And it's not like I favour any single artist. It depends on mood. Sometimes I feel like listening to 'Kande Pohe' from Sanai Choughade and next I'm listening to Papa Roach's 'Getting away with Murder'. There's something about music. Just last night I put some random songs in My MP3 Player (I'm one of many people who don't are for iMP3's). BTW it's just 1GB thing, takes in about 150 songs, and I keep on changing the content weekly. So I came across 'Chaiya Chaiya' from 'Dil Se' and I re...

गेल्या शनिवारी मी अणि माझा सहकारी सिद्धार्थ, टेक मराठीच्या सभेला गेलो होतो. About ५० लोक आले होते. बरीच नवी माहिती मिळाली. पण सगळ्यात मोठे असे की काही लोक मराठीसाठी कम करतायत हे बघून बरे वाटले. Anyway's back to the base of it all. Right now I did try to get some marathi/hindi input on my desktop(My Company-provided Desktop). I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. Unfortunately I didn't get marathi support for input. Hindi support is available but I'm still searching for guide/Documentation for the proper input and getting complex input right. The one software that looked very promising is Baraha. But sadly it's not available for Linux. So we inter net junkies are left with google's transliteration, which is more than sufficient for guys like me that do most of the writing in English. But occasionally we would also like to write some matter in our mother tongue. But it looks we'll have to be very determined to get something out. जसे की मी आत्ता म्हणतो आहे - माका माझ्या ...

Today I wanted to change the name of my blog to something good. I tried many names and at last I've found point element as my blog's new name. Point element is the point man in a recon group. He's the most alert guy scanning terrain before him. And usually the petrol changes point regularly so that the guy who's on point is fresh and always most alert.

I  was looking for a good winamp like Audio player for my Ubuntu. I hate rhythmbox for it's interface. And so the journey began to find a good Audio player that'll give me good enough sound and ease of use so that I won't miss my winamp. After going through a lot of crap, blogs, posts and all I settled on Audacious. It gives me everything that I need and I didn't need to learn something new because things were not as I wanted them to be. And those are some crystals for desktop background. Naah, I just crammed them in the LCD.

You might wonder what the heck is a post doing with a title of documentation. And rightfully so. Even I also wondered what the heck am I going to write here. But then I blanked my mind for couple of minutes and thoughts started crowding about in my mind. various thoughts. I remembered various documentations I've done in my life. all those private diaries. Those unreleased private transcripts. The assignments, notes, project documentations. Lots of writing. I felt proud. Yes, I've written so much and today also I'm writing. Well right now I'm working on some documentation too. I'm working on my company's flagship product's documentation. Well, rightfully though it's not my job. My job is to write code. But small company, limited horsepower...(horse??? Oops manpower). And so you need to put on a number of hats, do a number of jobs. So anyway the joy of creation is still there, and the doc's coming nicely. I'll post it somewhere when the said pr...
