Lens Eye

I do believe that a Still Photo speaks more words than an video. A frozen moment of life that shows those happy times, places visited, which urge you to rethink that time.

A couple of years before when SLR were not affordable and photography still was in its original form where you develop you negative and print pictures choosing photography as a hobby would have been a costly affair but with the advent of digital cameras and D-SLR photography takes new twist. With Digital cameras and D-SLR although the initial cost involved may be a little high but have no recurring costs of either films to be bought or photographs to be printed to actually see them. How painful it used to be thinking have shot some good photographs but only to discover later (while printing) that a lot of them were spoilt due to over exposure, bad light, or some one blinked during the great moment,or problem with the film reel.. Now a days you are at the liberty to shoot a picture and see it instantaneously if it was what  you were looking for.

While sketching I rather like portraits than scenery but when it comes to photography I like monuments a lot. My love towards travel and a taste for photography gel well. I try to shoot a lot of them. Still in a very initial stages where I just have started experimenting with the manual modes. This is one other hobby where I think you can learn slowly with no urgency and worrying of growing old practicing. I guess with age it gets better.

Google Wave

Image
Finally after the long wait got the invitation from google and now have my account setup. With some initial roadblocks of not knowing what to do and how to just as if an infant would learn to walk with its first few steps... As a few of us might already know right now the wave is only open as a developer preview and Google actually aims to have this coming up late this year. But in order to try out your developing skills with the Google Wave you need to have a sandbox account too... (Am glad that I was able to request for and was granted too soon... ) With a little bit of tremble I was able to create my first Google Wave Robot as it is called (If you have a wave account try adding my application by including vtrravikumar@appspot.com) This is a friendly bot that would greet as soon as anyone joins the wave. There are gadgets that could be developed and have seen few useful ones already there like the one which uses the map API.. It was also good to see lots of people already started dis...

Better late than Never

           Apocalypse that is to finish off the earth by 21/12/2012 comes at a very short notice that leaves us with little chance for some great plans but I would say its “ Better late than Never ” We all would agree that life is already screwed up beyond the chance of any revival and instead of turning our face away or ignoring all the warnings why not accept it and think about some positive things that could be done. I am not going to give the details on how The world is going to end or numerous signs that point to sure end by 2012 but rather would like provoke your thoughts on how we can plan to approach the inevitable Apocalypse and live life. Planning for an apocalypse can be something new to all of us and since we may not know what may come and what we need to face it would be touch to plan something so instead of starting with how to survive an apocalypse lets start with an simpler task of how to spend our time worthwhile...

Top 10 Cloud Vendors

I came across this blog post by Peter Laird ( Blog link ) which I found to be an interesting way to rank the cloud vendors but since this list had been prepared almost 2 years before, I decided to give it a shot now to see how the ranking had changed over time. Based on the methodology used by Peter I did the following : Cleared all browser cookies Ensured I was logged out of Google (to avoid personalized results ) Navigated to the www.google.com search page Typed “cloud computing” in the search box However unlike Peter I did not browse through all the pages but restricted my ranking until I found 10 vendors. The result is as follows. From the search results scrubbed off all non vendors and then collected the first occurrence of each of the following vendors. Page Rank Vendor URL 1 1 Salesforce http://www.salesforce.com...
