Missed my blog's birthday :(

I was lying on my bed with irritating headache due to sinus.Usually random thoughts run in my mind as I am facing difficulty in falling asleep.Just then, something striked that why didnt I celebrate my blog's birthday :) Then I searched about it in google. To my surprise many had celebrated their blog's birthday.But I missed this year.Being in this blogosphere for 4 years and will be continuing to be in, has given me lot of stuff.There were ups and downs and I learnt lot of things and need to learn many too.What have I did in this 4 yrs is really a big task to answer.In fact, I am currently having 4 blogs inclusive of this.They are:

1.http://scintillatingipblogs.blogspot.com/
This blog is wholly for educational purpose that am specializing in.

2.http://vyasarpadibridge.blogspot.com/
This photo blog is about the construction of a bridge.It happened to blog about this because of its way it is going to be constructed i.e this is a road over bridge.This flyover will run over the railway tracks and am very eager to see the way it is constructed.I update it frequently and post the photos of construction.

Since I forgot to celebrate my blog's birthday this year, next year I will surely celebrate it with a blast.Until then its a bye bye to this year's birthday.Belated wishes to my Scintillating Blogs :) :) :)

Deadliest things in house.............

Oh! my god!!!!!!!!!! The deadliest thing in a house is when pipes leak and where the tank water gets wasted................................... Yes,just 2 hours ago in my house one of the pipe from tank started to leak and the water is flowing down wastely.As soon as I heard the leakage from the living room,I rushed to check from where the water is leaking, that too non-stop.I first thought that tank water is over flowing.But no, it was a leakage and the pipe has some cracks which lead to water leakage.

What next, I called Plumber and informed about this and asked to send someone to repair it.Luckily 2 of them came but couldnt repair it because without ladder they said they cannot climb up."Since today is sunday almost all the shops would be closed and we cannot hire ladder",said one of the plumber.I said ,"ok then no other go kindly repair it tomorrow".Plumber also assured that he would come tomorrow and repair it.In the mean time I have also requested my tenants to store necessary water for today and tomorrow as the tank water will be exhausted by night.

Another deadliest thing is that the Valve to block the flowing water is also not accessible since we built a room beside that :(  I was still worried and thought of the water that is being wasted ...................Luckily something striked me to create paths,so that water flows to the coconut tree.Yes !!!!!!!!!!! I have created some small paths so that water isn't wasted.Good that it striked me.Finally tomorrow's day would be quite hectic............

Delicious to Google Bookmarks

I have been researching about cloud computing and its intellectual property issues that may arise.While doing so I bookmark lot of websites in my firefox browser's bookmark with folders in it.Suddenly i feared what if my computer doesnt work as it is old enough and it has worked a lot for me :) I have formatted it thrice and feared if it shuts due to viruses, though i have installed anti-virus and scan the pc then and there.So to avoid this fear I started to bookmark my necessary important websites links in delicious bookmark which i am used to it while working online.Unfortunately i heard that yahoo owned delicious is closing its bookmark service :( what next when crawled the web to find a solution it was Google who gave me hands.google is a one stop shop i think :) yeah ,i feel so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes , google has come up with a program  i.e a migration tool where you can import your delicious bookmark to Google bookmarks in just one click.I tried and it worked very smoothly.yahoo owned delicous fall is google's rise :) What next, I felt good to import in some seconds without any fear.Am happy that I could do these in a fraction of seconds.There lies the power of information and the information society which is now a knowledge based society is in need of these kinds of information provider as knowledge is gained only when such information is accessible. In that way google has facilitated lot of information.Google rocks :)
