Solar Eclipse 2009


The Sky is going to show us something special tomorrow.This has been announced as the longest solar eclipse, which lasts for 6 minutes and 39 Seconds.It could be special for India, as the complete screening of the Sun , called as Totality occurs in the Indian region, and probably a partial view can be recorded in the rest of the world.

Dont get too excited to view the Diamond Ring.There are some precautions.

1. Dont see the Eclipse with the Naked Eye. Due to the heavy brightness and other rays like UV could affect you eyes, which in worst case lead to permanent loss of Vision. Beware, you have many more eclipses to see, this will be not the last one.

2. There are some Shades with Filter that are available. You are safe to view with them.

3. There is another hand made device called Pinhole Projector. Sit tonight and construct it to enjoy the Eclipse.

4. Dont be too much cautious. Closing all the doors, turning off all lights and electrical appliances, and point this reason to bunk your classes(Offices in some cases).You are completely safe until you receive the sun light directly in to your eyes.

HTC Wildfire - Display ,Touch Sensor and Accelerometer

Just went through the online reviews before buying HTC Wildfire to see everyone cursing the display that "Its Pathetic". That is because of the resolution. The screen is large enough( 3.2" ) to show everything, but the resolution is just 320 x 240 pixels. But this is in no way a set back. Just optimize the home screens and other areas as you want ,to bring out the best out of it. I even felt that, the OSK (On Screen keyboard) occupies , half of the screen when text-ing (new word huh! i mean messaging), but now i got used with it and even in many other phones which have higher resolutions the OSK will definitely dominate. Touch Sensor The first thing i want to tell is there is no irritating double tap , that we see in mobiles like Nokia 5800 .The touch sensor is awesome and some times over sensitive. Whenever i take a snap of something and hand over the device to some one, they touch some part of screen while receiving it and finally they complaint that they see a diff...

Signature in Google community - Un-officially

The Main problem of Google Community Users is the Lack of Signatures. Even old users who have some decent number of posts, who are theoretically eligible to have signature, are yet to get their signatures. The main reason people look for signatures is they are do follow therein they promote their website and blog. I got a solution for that. When you type a link.Its is converted to plaint text. http://www.google.com is not a link but just a text. Instead give Google and Select the text and Click the hyper link in the Editor and Paste the URL. Now its a URL and it will act as a signature. Manage with it until you get signatures enabled.
