Transparency
The Following information should have been in the party website.
- What are different roles in the party? And who is working on which role?
- Who manages different Online Communities of party?
- What are their role in the party organization structure?
- Who are the candidates contested on the party ticket in this elections?
- What are the background of those candidates?
- What is the selection process of those candidates? On what bases they are selected?
- What is the party budget? What happened to every rupee donated by people?
- How the party is getting its every rupee? And where it is spending?(Every transaction)
- Where is party calendar?(with all events)
I know, these are tough questions. You may start asking me or even shouting at me. But think, don’t you need this information? You need resources to put all this information online? I think we have more IT people in party than other parties.

Check out the two sites below. For me they are simply suparb. I don’t know how they did them… I wish I had that skill.

There is one thing that these site teach us.. Dont limit your self with the conventions. Go out of the way. Try new but still be clear and simple.

Please read this article by keeping the following things in mind.
- I am not criticizing the democracy
- I am not in favour of any other system other than democracy
The biggest problem I have seen so far is..in democracy every one is same.
Take for instance the vote of our RBI Governor, or Indian President and a vote of some person working the fields, uneducated. never went to school, who votes for the person who gives more money. Now both of them have equal power. No other point in life of those people they will have equal power. Only when it comes to voting in general elections, they both have equal power.
It is abviously not the right system. I agree that there is no better solution which I know. But are we all sure that there can not be any better solution? I will keep thinking about it when I have time. What do you think?

Normally I use my MacBook at home and some times in office also. It is configured for DHCP in both places.
But today when I started MacBook in office I found that I am unable to connect to net. Found that I am using IP number of series 169.*.*.* which is not what I expected. It should be in the series of 192.168.*.*
I tried renewing the DHCP lease. But in vain. Same IP is coming again. Finally decided that it is the problem with the DCHP Server.
But there is no way to find the DCHP server that allocated that wrong IP number. I search for 15 min then finally I found the command in a website.
ipconfig getoption en1 server_identifier
BTW this command only works in Mac. Here en1 is the network interface.
Then I found that my DHCP Server is actually down at that point. So that number which I got is allocated by the OS by default. Not the problem of DHCP Server. I started the server and renewed the IP and every thing worked perfectly.

I have been using Opera as a mail client and as a substitute browser from last 4 years. I have got habituated with that software. But the only thing that I was always worried about is Rich Text mail composing. It seems like Opera people may not add this feature in at least next 1 year.
So I searched a bit about what is the best mail client. BTW I use Ubuntu Linux. So Outlook etc is not at all an option for me. I used Opera even when I was using Windows XP also.
The only alternative I got is Thunderbird. Then I started using thunderbird for 4 days. After 4 days of use, I felt like my Opera is much better than this. Here is what I found.
Advantages of Thunderbird over Opera:
- Rich Text Editor for composing mails
- Support Digital Certificates
- You can use Filters to move an incoming mail to “Sent” folder.
- Custom Labels
- Open any mail as new in Compose View
Disadvantages:
- Slow
- No Attachments Filters
- No Labels Filters
- No way to see yesterdays messages
- No way to see messages sent by a contact
- Add to Contacts list sucks, It doesn’t even check duplicates
- No customization of Toolbar
- No Browser, You need to launch Firefox to see any link in the mail.
- No Saved Searches
- No integrated contact list
- No Filters as Folders
I have realised that Opera is much much better than Thunderbird if you check mails more than 10 times a day. If you check only once and do not have any filters, use Thunderbird.
Finally I switched back to Opera.

Recently I have upgraded to Firefox RC1,
After a day, I have noticed that my RCP application is not working. After spending almost 1 hr I find out that it is the problem with SWT Browser component.
The exception in the lof is as follows
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-mozilla-gtk-3349 or swt-mozilla-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3589)

at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.create(Mozilla.java:323)
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.<init>(Browser.java:109)
If you also came across such an issue, here is the fix.

2 days back I have seen an amazing Google Tech Talk in which Dmitri Gaskin introduced about JQuery. It was almost like a shock for me after seeing him. He is just 12. I felt so dumb.
In-case if you have not seen it, here it is.

Anyway I felt happy when I realized that we can use JQuery’s advanced short code to extract data from various web pages easily. Till now I have written so many programs in various languages to extract data from HTML files. But no program is similar to any other. It is due to the fact that each page has its only layout and the data I need to extract are different every time.Now using jQuery and HTML tool-kits like Cobra we can easily extract data from any HTML file without using regular expressions.
I wanted to develop an library which uses jQuery and Cobra’s API and extract information from HTML file using a standard specification. This specification will address where and what information to be extracted, and the result will be objects of the data. I have this dream from long back. But jQuery may help it get started. Thank you jQuery.

I hated make and nmake all the time I worked on Linux. The syntax of the Makefile was so complex for me to understand it. I have compiled so many projects with make, but still don’t know how to write a file myself.
Thanks to Java, I stopped writing programs in C,C++.
Today I thought of checking what exactly Ant is, after working in Java for more than 5 years. After reading the manual I thought I should have checked it long back.
I don’t know how I managed these many years without using Ant. From now onwords I decided to use Ant for all my Java projects.
Check this for Ant tutorial.

Today morning I got this doubt.
Do I really know what my mom thinks about me?
Is she proud of me or not?
What does she think I need to do, but doing?
etc…etc
I asked my mom to write me letter with all her feelings and opinions on me, my past, my present, my future, what does she expect from me etc…I asked her to give it to me as a birthday gift. Even though I do not expect any big surprises from it, I think there will be things which I never noticed or cared about.
Why dont you ask your parents to do the same…? Let me know if it helped u or not.
