Yesterday I have to delete some stuff from my PC and unfortunately during that process my firefox setup was reset. i.e. when I opened it it behaved as if I am opening it first time. During this process, I could see some images are not being loaded properly. Especially flickr.com On the same page some get loaded and some do not. After searching on google found out following steps, which fixed the issue.
* In the browser bar, type about:config
* Go to the property permissions.default.image, set the value 0, irrespective of whatever value present
* Close the browser, re-start. Browse couple of pages and reset the value to 1 in the above method.
* Now close the browser again and re-start, this fixed the issue.
cheers

l.yimg.com
Recently after flickr updated their interface, during the beta run as well after live, I had problems about some buttons not working. e.g. Actions, all sizes etc. I use firefox( 3.6.8), chrome(whichever is latest build) as well as IE8. This used to not work in any browser. After multiple iterations of research, found that the relevant information to run javascript for this is taken from l.yimg.com. If you leave first window after loading for sometime till all objects are downloaded from l.yimg.com, then they will be in cache and they work fine. But if you click fast before loading full page, it may not work.
There are numerous complaints about l.yimg.com server slowness.

Minerva Coffee Shop @ Road No. 36, Jubilee Hills
Well, mood came in to write some thing and here you go....
Last weekend while driving from city during dinner time, family is discussing on what kind of food to have and where to go. Obviously when we are four sitting in car, four choices pop up and nothing will be decided immediately. Typical family drama. Just after crossing Jubilee hills check post, I did see median hoardings about this new joint Minerva Coffee Shop saying "We are open at Road no. 36". My son also immediately got attention of the Brahmin caricature on the hoardings. He like it too.. :-) Immediately I proposed and we took a U turn in the next available median. I visited the same chain couple of times in Ameerpet and my expectations are quite positive.
It seems like a home is converted in to restaurant and only 4 car slots are available in front of that "home". Valet parking is available and those guys are pretty active and available in huge numbers and there is a coordinator to take care of the rush. We already saw some people waiting outside for seating and have been thinking about decision we made. One point is Sunday evening most family outing for everybody and another reason I could feel was due to Friendship day. Took a chance and inquired about waiting time and he asked my name and replied saying "you are just 4th person in queue"
I had put my grinned face one more time and asked him again, How much time it will take irrespective of my token number? he replied 15-20 minutes. There is a open area with chairs and we sat along with other folks. As usual more than 50% of the crowd are hanging with their mobile phones and what they speak on phone and their facial expressions and their presence is totally out of sync. A waiter brought a try full of glasses filled with cold water. A good gesture for waiting customers. Liked it there.
After 15 min or so, we got a call to come in. So called Minerva coffee shop-house-converted-restaurant was neatly decorated but all tables are scattered across different rooms. I would say 2-3 tables in each room based on room size. Here also I do see lot of staff to cater. Pretty agile and quick in service even during that peak hours.
For the sake of kids choice, we went for some chinese option, hot and sour soup, some soft noodles, schezwan noodles and manchuria. Manchuria is fine but schezwan noodles are as crappy as at max I can think off. Chilli sauce is mixed with regular soft noodles. The soup is very diluted. At the end I recollected my oath earlier I took and disobeying it again. "Never eat Chinese food in south Indian Restaurants". I swear again, do not do it again. Kids might have enjoyed the dinner because food was their choice but we did not like it.

BSNL బాధలు
I am having BSNL broadband issues and I am jotting down my interaction with them in this blog now onwards.
7-NOV-09
Lot of noise in the line and attenuation is very high. Unless I switch on phone too, I can't connect to broadband. This method also depends on luck. Only 20% choice. I raised a complaint with BSNL 1500 Swagatam services on 7th November 2009. Complaint no. 11060618639
10-NOV-09 4:30 p.m.
Called up to follow. Fortunately the customer rep is far better than expected standard from BSNL. He queried "No body turned up since 7th?" "Not even called you?". Then I made sure that I called them for followup and he should log the same against incident. He assured and somebody will attend on tomorrow. Fingers crossed again.
12-NOV-09 9:30 p.m.
Called again after two days. Status OPEN. Exchange people responded to call complaint that they are checking the line. If I need to know more information, I need to call 197 number and find out JTO's telephone number and I should talk to him/her :-)
13-NOV-09 1:00 p.m.
BSNL technical person Mr. Raghunandan from Gachibowli (who in fact installed my set while took the Broad band connection) called up. Again same story started to explain and he started asking me to check the modem lights, modem settings etc. Finally I was able to explain that it is the issue with disturbance and SNR value is very low and Attenuation is very high > 45 most of the time. He wanted to make sure that no port related issues or exchange related issue before sending out technician on ground to verify the physical wires at different junction boxes between exchange and home.
16-NOV-09 1:00 p.m.
Obviously some coordination required when a person is planning to visit home. This ground technician Sattiah called and tried to tell us that he came and no body at home. Typical first excuse that they already made an effort. I fixed an appointment at 2:30 p.m on 16th Nov 2009. I called him at 2:25 p.m. and said that I am at home(drove from office for this purpose). No turn of this person till 3:30 p.m. and when I called and the answer is "I will be there in 10 minutes". I had change my voice and give him some lecture about my work /boss and his work/boss are same as far as office is concerned. He promptly came in 10 minutes. Now he was asked to check line has disturbance or not. He says, telephone is working. It is tough to explain this guy about broadband, ADSL, SNR and attenuation because he is not familiar with this. Only point he made is, lights are glowing so it should work. I called Raghunandan to explain, and he pointed to Sattiah that disturbance should not be there. He verified wall level wires etc and found out the initial point and did some cuts and joins again. Asked me to verify and definitely I could hear no change in the dolby digital noise from the line. He will be checking various lines from home to exchange in reverse order.
17-NOV-09 12:30 p.m.
Since last night i.e. 16th Nov 2009, Internet connection at Home is gone. Earlier I had 10% chances and now it is totally gone. The green light on modem which indicates "Internet" is gone. Unfortunately, the technician who came and verified the ports at home at two different places, the caps (crabtree switches) are gone and they are loosely fitted to just hold on. I was there but not sure when he just pressed forcefully. Pathetic feeling to get after seeing them damaged. Coming back to connection issue, today morning I called the same technician to find out the status and he identified there is a port issue and today they are going to replace the port. Keeping fingers crossed again.
18-NOV-09 12:44 p.m.
Both broadband and phone lines are dead since 17-NOV-09 afternoon. Reason, some digging at Gachibowli Y junction for flyover and whole network on Gachibowli side is gone. As usual, can't contact or no body lifts the phone if you call Gachibowli exchange. Raised a complaint for dead phone 11075537682
19-NOV-09 4:21 p.m.
Today morning by the time I woke up, telephone lines are restored and land line is working and was able to connect to internet but it was slow process and noise is still there.
20-NOV-09 11:40 a.m.
Called up Mr. Raghunandan. They are still busy with Gachibowli Y junction dug up. He promised he will verify the disturbance issue.
22-NOV-09 9:00 p.m
Called up customer service desk again as I could not connect at all. The probability of getting connected dropped from 5% to 1% or zero percent. I ask the CR to enter that I am filing a case in consumer court and he tried to evade the conversation and promised that he will escalate. I made sure that his team lead came in to call to discuss as this fellow does not want to enter additional comments. To my surprise, team leader says, that their customer support system will not allow any kind of additional information or updating facility once the ticket has been risen. Isn't it weird? After couple of persuasions and serious notes, he said that he can't do anything to the ticket. I had to hung up helplessly.
23-NOV-09 Monday 10:00 a.m
Visited Gachibowli exchange to meet folks and no person is there around and only line men are there and they do not know anything about who comes when. They suggested me to call JTO.
24-NOV-09 Tuesday
I tried to reach since Monday morning till now (Tuesday) evening and and both Satyanarayana (JTO) and Raghunandam are not picking up of the phones even when I called from my home (such that they can identify by location / caller ID).
27-NOV-09 Friday 10:00 a.m.
Since morning the telephones and broadband are totally down. Will wait for half a day before rising a complaint.
01-DEC-09 Tuesday 12:05 p.m.
For the last few days, things are going smooth and was able to connect to Internet with out any trial and errors. One thing I did was kept the modem on for 24 hours after first successful connect. Hoping for the best in future and giving a break for this write up till I find another issue with BSNL. :-)))

Mup.sys
Ran in to mup.sys problem again after a long time on my home PC (Windows XP). Tried 1st attempt of cold boot via install CD and CHKDSK running. It got booted normally later. But today morning it again hanged. Need to try one more attempt.
Time to ditch old PC. Can you believe it that my PC hard disk capacity is 6gb? Now a days normal PEN drives have that capacity. LOL. I am also looking for eco friendly desktops. Dell Hybrid model is pretty expensive. Liked the specs of ASUS eee Box B204 model. I may need to buy external optical drive. Not yet decided.

Stardust
Saw Stardust movie yesterday. It was fun and reminded me childhood fantasy stories. King, witch, magic spells, unimaginable transformations, castles and curiosity to see till the end. Very nice landscapes scenes for photographers like me. Only actors I could recognize are Robert De Niro and a lady from Desparate Housewives soap. I guess it is needed sometimes to travel to fantasy world revisit back to reality to understand that life is life and reality is reality. Movies do make you happy.

Swimming - Gachibowli stadium
It so happened that we decided to enroll kids in Gachibowli Stadium for swimming. Came to know that they will give applications on 1st April in the early morning and we were also warned that crowd will be there. I was mentally prepared for this and made kids excited about their summer fun.
Elder one is in very good mood and he asked for alarm and I set it for him. Obviously he did not getup and I woke up him when I was ready to go. By 6 a.m. sharp we were there and regular visitors are already there. The coach cum admin cum pseudo "I own this stadium" employee simply said, come at 8 a.m. for application. For all other questions, he pointed me to a wall to go and read whatever I could.
Returned home and freshened and had break fast and went again to the stadium. To my shock, at the main entrance there were numerous bikes and cars with full accelerator on and buzzing. Then I recollected the warning "crowd will be there". The moment security opened the gate, guys zipped through till the swimming pool area. It is like mad race. There it was another hurdle; the doors are locked and whole crowd is grouped there. Security folks came out and started distributed token numbers and junta attacked them. With the kids it was tough and there were some ladies who could not reach for these tokens. It is all part of the game I think. Later I understood that they will give 150 tokens and all those get tokens are assured of admission. Only catch is that you need to submit medical certificate that and identify proof. For kids, it is birth certificate to prove the age.
The whole mechanism is pretty chaos and it could be better system. There were about six to seven security guards who are blowing whistles and not doing any thing. And also need to blame on the whole crowd who are all educated and do not want to stand in a line.
I think, culture gives you some common sense and not education.
Anyways, need to go again tomorrow to submit the application

It is very rare that I quickly support any government decision. Today I felt like, with out any doubt I am supporting Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra governments for their clear stand and NOT providing security for IPL. Elections are important not cricket. Let IPL guys go abroad or Mars to conduct. Most of us anyway watch them on TV only. Anywhere in the world also, our sponsers spend money and TV ads will flow any way.
Good job AP and Maharastra governments on this.

Philips HTS3565/98 - Enable region free
During deepavali (Diwali) 2008 time frame I bought Philips HTS3565/98 Home theatre in a box system. It includes DVD player & 5.1 speaker system. I played different options available on the system like DTS (Audio), USB, VCD, photoCD, CD-R etc formats. However I assumed DVD will anyway play and did not bother to run the disk. But when I tried to play Casino Royal bond movie, it shouted at me saying wrong region code. Also tried another DVD and this one also resulted negative. When I verified the setup specs, to my surprise the region code set was 3 which is Asia Pacific region code. Looks like Philips India imports from these countries and sells in India with out modifying the region code. India falls under region code 5.
This triggered research for region free setup on this Philips system or look for a hack. Initially found a hack recommending, open the tray, press STOP and enter 734466. But it did not work. I called up Philips India support and they gave local number. When I called local number, they gave quick number and some instructions. It did not work. Next day, I have to call again and bring in technician and walk through each step. I am listing this again for your information. This will bring the system into all region i.e. 0 (Zero).
1. Operate the DVD palyer in disc mode
2. Open the tray by pressing open/close button
3. Go to OPTIONS and and go to preferences area. (other areas include Audio, Video etc)
4. Enter 99990 (nine nine nine nine zero)
5. You should see Region 0. If this does not appear, follow further steps
6. Press OPTIONS again such that you do not see anything on the screen except for OPEN word on top.
7. Now press same code 99990. You should see Region 0 on the screen.
8. You are all set to play all region dvds
It is unfair from Philips India aspect to sell wrong region code players in India. Those who are not familiar with region code concpet, may think that player is not working and loose impression on Philips

రాజీవ్ దగ్గరకి వెళ్ళాలంటే.......
రాజీవ్ దగ్గరకి వెళ్ళాలంటే.......
..................వాళ్ళ తాతని పట్టుకుంటే చాలు. (The new express way started two weeks ago which connects from hi-tech (Gachibowli) area to to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. It is named as Nehru outer ring road). What I liked in this picture is nice evening light on buildings and low level composition.
గతవారం దీని మీద ప్రయాణించాను. ఇంకా చాలా పనులు ఉన్నాయి కాని, నాకు నచ్చింది. ఒమిరెకాలోని డ్రైవింగ్ గుర్తుకు వచ్చింది. ఇంకా మధ్యలో bridges అవి అవ్వలేదు. Intersections దగ్గర ఒక ramp దిగి ఇంకో ramp ఎక్కాలిసి ఉంటుంది. నాలుగు లైనులు మాత్రం ఇప్పుడు వదిలారు, అదే చాల వెడల్పు గా అనిపించింది. మిగతా నాలుగు కూడా మొదలు అయితే, జనాలు 110 తక్కువు వెళ్ళరు.
విమానాశ్రయం (శంషాబాద్ దగ్గర) కి వెళ్ళె దారి రెండు పక్కలా బాగా పూల మొక్కలు అవి నాటి బాగా తయారుచేసారు. నాకు ఎందుకో సింగపూర్, కౌలాలంపూర్, విమానాశ్రాయలకి వెళ్ళినప్పటి జ్నాపకాలు గుర్తుకు వచ్చాయి.

HUDA --> HMDA
HUDA (Hyderabad Urban Development Authority) becomes now HMDA (Hyderabad Metro Development Authority).
Hyderabad is fast growing and this move is to bring in some our outskirts villages and areas to Hyderabad Metro area. It is long way to get proper infrastructure and facilities though things have improved a lot over last few years. It is a constant change (an oxymoron). Traffic is still a mess.
Above is a typical scene in Hyderabad city buses during peak or non peak hours. I believe, most of the India metros have same situation.
Jingle bells
These kids rushed towards me and requested for a picture. I made them to sit and the youngest one is shy and not willing to smile. I told, if she does not smile, no photo. Eldest one took responsibility of making youngest smile.
They giggled and shouted towards their dad about the photograph and insisted me to show to him. They made me to take another shot with their dad.
Happiness is everywhere, it is you who can find it easily.
For sure smiles do not fade even on large black drop
