Thank You Donors

Thank you Blood Donors.

We have collected 56 bottles for Prathama Blood Bank yesterday. The event was successful as our target was to reach at 50. My overall experience with prathama was quite great. They were very professionals as compared to Ahmedabad Red Cross. Hope to see a double turnout next year.

Some Good Ones....

1. A FOOLish man tells a woman to STOP talking, but a WISE man tells
her that she looks extremely BEAUTIFUL when her LIPS are CLOSED.

2. One GOOD way to REDUCE Alcohol consumption :
Before Marriage - Drink whenever you are SAD
After Marriage - Drink whenever you are HAPPY

3. Three FASTEST means of Communication :
1. Tele-Phone
2. Tele-Vision
3. Tell to Woman
Need still FASTER - Tell her NOT to tell ANY ONE.

4. Love your friends not their sisters. Love your sisters not their
friends.

5. What is a BEST and WORST news you can hear at the SAME time ?
It is when your Girl Friend says YOU are the BEST KISSER among all your
Friends.

6. When your LIFE is in DARKNESS, PRAY GOD and ask him to free you
from Darkness. Even after you pray, if U R still in Darkness - Please
PAY the ELECTRICITY BILL.

7. Why Government do NOT allow a Man to MARRY 2 Women. Because per
Constitution, you can NOT PUNISH TWICE for the same Mistake.

8. “A Ship is always safe at the shore - but that is NOT what it is
built for” - Albert Einstein

Better Broadband

Internet in India used to have many problems.

I used to have internet breakdown every monsoon. Local cable operators like Icenet, Ecom, Cablenet and Siticable used to run over head cables from one roof top to others. This was jumped thru low range hubs thus the result was crazy. As soon as it rains their service engineers were on their toes…to sort out the problems.

Now the scenrio has changed a bit. National companies like BSNL, RIL and VSNL are doing great. There internet backhaul is quite good, plus the quality of cabling over the building is also neat.This leads to a better - stable internet connection.

I guess things are not as bad as we think….

$1.72 Billion: The Cost of Over-Night Computers

Thirty percent of corporate computers are not switched off at night. Or so says a studyfrom 1E, a power management software company.

And the cost of that over-night computing? 14.4 million metric tons of CO2 and $1.72 Billion.

Now, we should keep in mind that this study was done by a company trying to sell power management software, but these numbers are real, and so is the problem. Though, I will say that, in most places in America, there is excess power being produced at night anyhow, so saying that this resulted in an increase in greenhouse gasses is ultimately incorrect.

However, it has resulted in an almost 2 billion dollar gift to the fossil fuel-based power generation industry.

People see shutting down the PCs, or even putting them into sleep mode, as simply too much trouble. This was something that Vista was supposed to tackle, but it unclear what kind of impact Vista’s new power management features have had.
Of course, 1E also calculated the massive energy savings that could be achieved by installing their software…Up to $75 per PC. We wish that people weren’t so lazy, and that they could hibernate their own machines, but if it takes proprietary power management software to get companies to stop wasting all this energy, then I’m behind 1E in their efforts.

And if you want to save that $75 with some free software, check out CO2Saver.

Fight at the Greens

Two super duper player - one great match.  I hope Nadal makes to the final and wins the Wimbledon 2007 title by defeating Federer. This is going to be cricual match for both the players esp. federer as he wants to get into the record book, while for Nadal its something for the green. This master of Clay court needs to win on green surface + take revenage from last years finals’ defeat. Lets see. waiting for 8th july final which should be against Nadal-Federer and Nadal should take it…..
