My last post on blog.activj.net

This is going to be my last post on blog.activj.net and I'll be blogging on one of the blogging CMSs or on blogger.com as no longer Google will support my blog integration. That means, No longer I can synch my blog.activj.net with Google's blogger server. I have been doing this for a long time for lotz of reasons. Mainly, I thought having my blog with google will drive web-traffic to my website. I'm really sad that I can no longer do this, but I guess everything has a good reason to happen. I'm sure I'll find an alternative way.

Other than this, as most of you already know, I lost my last job and I'm looking for a good job. I think I mentioned this in my last post as well. And, now I'm in a nice new place where I can do a lot in my PC (Ah, by the way, I'm a PC guy - Not MAC :p). Besides the fact that I lost my job, last week was pretty good and busy... doing what?...mmm .. Doing some CSS corrections to my website. My web home page was acting funny on Google Chrome browser, now It's fixed. That was a CSS issue. And some of the problems with Adsense Ad placement is fixed.

Again Java's come handy after Google's app-engine allows everyone to start develop apps on appspot using Java. I don't really know anything about python, so I was worried when they introduce app-engine only works with pythan. I tried creating an app, works fine. So far I couldn't come up with any good ideas I can use Google app engine to my website. Whole new world of opportunities are opening up on cloud computing, but I don't really know where to start. Now my twitter is synched with all the other accounts I have, like google buzz, youtube, orkut, myspace, hi5, facebook, picasa, MSN, Yahoo and other da da ta ta daaaa.. And everything synchs perfectly.

Now all the social networking sites are chained nicely. My twitter account updates google buzz, Google buzz updates my GTalk status then that goes to my SIP clients. Everything happens nicely. So, now it's just matter of updating something on my ChromeBrid - That updates everywhere.

Summer, wonderful world to look at, happy part of the year, I'm just chillin applying for jobs doing some serious learning & meeting and talking to my friends. Check my new blog soon, till then a good bye to all of you.

2010 - Need an R & D Job - மாட்டு பொங்கல் வாழ்த்துக்கள்

Allo all & Allo 2010. 'Allo' is tamil version of Hallo. 2009 was good; actually It was great.

Let me list my

2009 achievements.

1. Jeyaram. BSc (Hon) [ Not a normal person anymore ]
2. Found a Job as soon as I graduated.
3. Met trillions of new people.
4. France VISA - [ Never wanna talk about ]
5. Labelled myself as a true Google fan. I love Google.
   The only thing makes me high, Checking Google's new product launches.
6. Completed my JAVA api - SMPSI fully (Tested 1000 times, Documentation is ready)
7. 3 "ACTIV" projects to fill my pocket.
8. Normal cook to Great cook.
9. Revamping THEACTIV.COM with Shiya _/||\_ & Ratha ( Pending )
10. Learned a bit of Flash AS3 and ASP.NET.
11. Earned some good friends at Platt halls. ( My uni hostel )
12. And many more small ones.... I mean, regular size ones

So what 2010 brought me? So what am I up to? Now, I need to find a Job somewhere in R & D even If I don't get paid much. I need a Job where I can think out of the box and use my creativity and do something amazing. I know I can do amazing things, but I need a better platform., I mean a better Job which allows me to be creative, allows me practise my own way of doing things and so on and so forth.. If I like or excited about anything, I can learn whatever it is quickly. That's why I always say my mates, I would pay Google, If I can get a Job in Google.:p It's a metaphor, Obviously I can't pay Google, but you know what I mean.

My lecturer told me "You can't get an R & D Job with out PhD". He must be wrong.. He is Jealous ...

I though of posting something on my blog on the first day of 2010, but I was deep inside my bed mattress. Then woke up on the 6th and made a test HD youtube video using my mobile. Check it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb9MMbekfFE

Now I'm trying to establish a habbit of updating my Twitter, Picasa, Youtube & blog regularly. So, In 2086, in my 100s, I can look back and say "Fellows! That was me."

I wish you a best மாட்டு பொங்கல் & my deepest sympathy to all those who suffer in Haiti. What can I possibly do to help my fellow Haitians?
