Today there are more than 250 million websites in the world and the no. is rising continuously. The no. of web designers, web technologies, web designs are also rising very rapidly. When making a web site we always want that website should have a unique look and feel. So we want to try a unique font which is not common. This article is somewhat related to the same problem but it will also answer some basic questions related to this topic. 1. Why my website look different in each Operating System (OS)? Each Operating System have a default set of fonts Pre-installed in them. When we code our website we usually define a font family name using CSS to render the web pages in that family. The CSS code will look similar to this p { font-family:"Times New Roman",Georgia,Serif; } The browser detects the fonts and renders the page in that font. If no font is defined or the given font is not present in Operating System then it uses browser default font which can var...

Idea 6: A new device which let you smell internet

Today I read a post titled "Olly: A device that lets you smell the  Internet ". It is a awesome idea. I keep saying to my friends that one day human being will have a device that will take input and give output using all five  senses  human body has . And now one more is added by Olly http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2011/11/07/olly-a-device-that-lets-you-smell-the-internet/ The  Xbox  360 by  Microsoft  senses our body movement in game and let us exercise while playing  video game . A smell functionality will improve gaming experience significantly specially in  Roll playing games . If  Artificial intelligence  that SIRI (or  Android 's IRIS)  uses can also be implemented in games (for now game will still have fix inputs that user can give) and that will increase  users interaction while playing. A normal game will also help in increasing users  communication skills . When I thought abo...

Thought ( मनन ) - 9: Topics for a philosophical discussion

Topics to discuss 1. Is drinking good or bad ? 2. Why you need to be drunk to enjoy? 3. The main question (that we forgot to ask) : what is joy? 4. Is joy while drunk is real joy or virtual? 5. Matrix : What was the problem with situation? They were happy while living virtually but in reality they were used. If they were bought to reality there would be poverty, fights, differences. Why is concept of being used make you feel bad when in real life you are being used by someone. If not anybody then by GOD for I don't Know. 6. Vanilla sky : They can live long life in virtual life? Are you in favor of virtual life or real life? why is virtual life good or bad?? How can you say this life is not virtual ? 7. Waking life: They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?   Dream is destiny.  Life is a matter of a miracle that is collected over time by moments flabbergasted to...

Thought ( मनन ) - 8: Quotes About people (may not be original)

1. People have tendency to argue about a point they do not believe in and at that time they believe that they believe. 2. People never accepts their outcome of their actions. Mostly those action which was fun for them. Afterwards they say they didn't know "that would lead to this we were just joking". Example -movie  404 3. The small joke/pranks we do make small changes in people and afterwards they not only effect them but whole society. (8/7/11) 4.Emotions and relations are the roots of corruption. (They are also solution if taught properly) 5. There are two type of people in the world - Others and you 6. Either love equally or hate equally, If you can't do both then live neutrally p

Thought ( मनन ) - 7: Falling in love

[Many things written on this blog does not relate to me. This is one of them....] I don't want to like anyone more than other. That's why I don't want to fall in love with someone or at least I don't want to express my love to anyone. I think everyone is great. Some are more intelligent and some are more committed to what they do. Another reason for my statement is that I can't do anything for them. If I ever meet someone whom I can make better, then may be I will think about other side. On the same subject If I have to thank someone for who I am now, I would want to thank almost everyone. कभी दिल बहुत दुखता है कभी आंसू पानी सा बहते है अचानक मुस्का देते है ये होंठ कभी खुद से ही शिकायत करते है

Thought ( मनन ) - 6: For population of India

Population is a subject of which the perception varies with the viewpoint of the observer. To the demographer it is an exercise in statistics, to the politician a matter of votes, to the economist it is dissipation of wealth , to the bureaucrat a problem of feeding, clothing, educating and housing the masses and to the industrialist a source of labour. For the affluent countries and the small affluent class in the poor countries it poses a threat to the existing order on which they thrive. In the absence of a concomitant desire to promote the social and economic development and welfare, the poor realize that it is children who provide them the only source of love and economic security in an increasingly hostile world. These two paragraphs are taken from internet (no specific source). So reading this I thought what are the biggest reasons for having more than two children in a family. 1. To continue their breed 2. Economic Security 3. Proof of their manliness 4. ...

By उत्पल बैनर्जी हमने ऐसा ही चाहा था कि हम जियेंगे अपनी तरह से और कभी नहीं कहेंगे मजबूरी थी हम रहे गोरैयो कि तरह अलमस्त अपने छोटे से घर को कभी ईंट पत्थरो का नहीं मानेंगे उसमे हमारे स्पंदनो का कोलाहल होगा दुःख सुख इस तरह आया जाया करेंगे जैसे पतझर आता है, बारिश आती है कड़ी धुप में दहकेंगे हम पलाश कि तरह तो कभी प्रेम में पगे बह चलेंगे सुदूर नक्षत्रो के उजास में हम रहेंगे बीज की तरह अपने भीतर रचने का उत्सव लिए निदाघ में तपेंगे, ठिठुरेंगे पूस में अंधड़ हमें उदा ले जायेंगे, सुदूर अनजानी जगहों पर जहां भी गिरेंगे, वहीँ उसी मिटटी की मधुरिमा में खोलेंगे आँख हारे या जीते हम मुकाबला करेंगे समय के थपेड़ो का उम्र की तपिश में झुलस जायेगा रंग रूप लेकिन नहीं बदलेगा हमारे आंसुओ का स्वभाव नेह का रंग...वैसी ही उमंग हथेलियों की गर्माहट आँखों में चंचल धुप की मुस्कराहट कि मानो कहीं कोई अवसाद नहीं हाहाकार नहीं, रुदन नहीं अधूरी कामनाओं का तुम्हे याद होगी हमंत की एक रात प्रतिपदा की चंद्रिमा में हमने निश्चय किया था अपनी अंतिम सांस तक इस तरह जियेंगे हम की मानो जीवन में मृत्यु है ही नह...

Thought ( मनन ) - 5: (Technical) An OS can't make person Intelligent or dumb

Yesterday I was doing something on Ubuntu (which was installed on windows 8 via Virtual Box ), A Ubuntu user came and commented 1. ooh! You are using an open source OS on windows OS His expressions were like - The greatest sin is using an open source OS on windows OS. I was like - Holy Shit! What have I done? Why did I choose this course? 2. Is it virus free? 3. The wi-fi is not connecting because you are using ubuntu on windows Some people have requirement which can be fulfilled by one OS. Some people want to try all the things available. Some people believe that one OS is not enough even if it's free. I do web design , graphics design, video editing, animation design and little bit desktop programming. Now I took this course which teaches about shell scripting and python programming . So I installed Ubuntu on Virtual Box to skip the pain of restarting every time you want to use some software of different OS. Now coming to virus, I know Ubuntu doesn't have viru...

Thought ( मनन ) - 4: Thought after watching waking life

I agree with almost all thoughts of author in the movie. Example - it is not possible that all of us should have previous life as population is increasing. I personally believe that nothing is random in this world . Every random no. generator have some formula. We can say that most vague thing (what we call random now) is human, his mind, thought & his dreams. But If we take initial condition (t=0) as big bang and put all the knowledge we have after that we can predict behavior of every human and living thing. For Now we can take just any persons birth place their thinking all incidences of his life and we can predict most of his actions.

Hindi Poem (हिंदी कविता ) - 17: ख्वाब

कलियों में कभी मुस्कायेंगे पतझर में मुरझायेंगे भी कभी बिजली कभी रौशनी कभी भंवरा कभी कली कभी चिडियों  की तरह चह्केंगे कभी उपवन सा महकेंगे कभी मिट्टी की तरह मिटेंगे मिटेंगे, मिटकर नया बनेंगे कभी बादल की तरह बरसेंगे चकोर की तरह भी हम तरसेंगे - गौरव

Idea 4: Font categories in Photoshop

For Photoshop team, Problem: In photoshop I just don't design one type of posters, vcard or t-shirt. For all type I need different fonts so now I have 200-300 fonts Installed in my computer and when If I don't remember how a font looks then I have to try every font in my computer to find the best match of my expectations. (this shows that I am not any professional) Solution: If you can just allow user to tag (categorize) fonts in different nestable categories then I can create category - retro - best for - t-shirt - best sans - best serif - thick - thin - beautiful l .............. * One font can be present in two or more categories. Simple ?

Idea 3 - Html preview Icon Not yet implemented

This idea was from same day of Yahoo HackU! when in our team one more came that was supposed to be not coming that Day. We discussed what problems we face in daily computer/technical life. I Proposed Problem :"Since I am a web designer I have many templates on my computer, this also shows that I not that professional web designer.

Solution - Using shell script if I can change icon of template1 folder into browser screenshot of index.html(t1) and icon of template 2 into browser screenshot of index.html(t2) then my prob...

Idea 2: Universal Social App

Image
Second Idea that I remember is from Yahoo! HackU Competition where we have to develop an application in one night. We were neither a team nor any regular coder student. After listening the working of YUI and its application we decided to make a social application that connects to facebook, Yahoo social, twitter, linkedin. The user can drag any friend from any of those list to stream box. He will only able to see the updates of users in stream box. Below are the image that we made. Google plus uses similar idea but ofcourse I am not blaming google. Plus would have been planned much before then YUI 2010.

Idea 1: Virtually Transparent Aircraft

I proposed a feature in our aircraft in aircraft design course that man always dreamed of flying like birds then if we make their dream come true aircraft passenger will be happier. So Why not make the aircraft transparent or virtually transparent? Feedback - The requirement may not be possible as there may not be such materials available which are transparent, light and strong enough to be a part of fulselage walls. But there are some research going on aircraft which do not appear transparent from outside but they give feel of transparency. For Boeings newproject blended wing aircraft (BWA) all passenger can not sit near window and there are FAR rules that oppose this. They are trying to project image of outside with cameras on the walls of aircraft but it is still in experimental stage.

Ideas 0: New Series Introduction

This is a new series that I am starting. It will contain some ideas or solution of problems that I gave or solved. Some of the ideas were new to me and my surroundings but not new to worlds and were under progress to take form, so it may be true that all human minds are connected and when someone gains some knowledge it is shared to other mind even if we are not aware of it. Some of the ideas are still knew and not implemented by anyone.

कल किसी कहानी में समाज का चेहरा दिखेगा नहीं कोई कथाकार ऐसी शक्ल बुनेगा नहीं क्योंकि - वह इतना जान लेगा कि डरने लग गया है इन्सां अपने अक्स से अपने बिम्ब से वह स्वंयं को जानना चाहेगा नहीं और वह जियेगा सपनो में जागेगा नहीं

Manan 2: उपदेश :)

इंसान गलत नहीं होता उसकी सोच गलत होती है इंसान गलत हो ऐसा बहुत कम होता है ज्यादातर उसकी सोच गलत होती है | हर इंसान अपने आप में सही होता है | अगर उसको पता ही होता की उसकी कोई बात या फैसला गलत है तो वह उसको सही कर लेता | वह चीज़े सही नहीं करता क्योंकि उसको विश्वास है वो जो कर रहा है वो सही है, ऐसा ही होना चाहिए और दूसरा तरीका पहले वाले से अच्छा नहीं है | इंसान एक समय पर जो भी है वह अपने फैसलों और कर्मो की वजह से है इंसान को अगर लगता है कि उसके पास दूसरो के मुकाबले कम है या वह दुखी है तो वह इन बातों के लिए या तो कोई बहाना बना लेता है या फिर किसी को दोषी ठहरा देता है | हमें इस बात को मानना चाहिए कि कोई भी इस समय किसी भी पायदान पर हो वह अपने कर्मो और फैसलों कि वजह से है | हाँ, ठीक है आपके कर्म या आपके फैसले प्रभावित हुए हो पर इसकी वजह भी तुम्हारी कमियां थी | उस समय आपको इतनी समझ नहीं थी कि खुदसे फैसले ले सके तो आपने सीखने के वजाय दूसरों पर विश्वास करना सही समझा | अब आपको ज्ञान मिल गया है तो आपको वह फैसला गलत लग रहा है | उम्मीद काफी सारे मुटावो और दुखो कि जड़ है इंसान कि एक बड़ी कमजोर...
