MY Laptop - Part II

Posted In: Autobiography . By jAI

Finally we placed an order for our laptop on April 07 2010 and got the mail saying the lap will be delivered within 7 ~ 10 working days. Thinking about 'we' ? yeah it is my friend who also wants to purchase same lapppyyy.On April 09 2010 we checked the online status of our order, it stated 'Manufactring Build Completed' and estimated delivery date was May 05 2010. First we were shocked why the hell dell needs this many days , whether they gonna import from some other galaxy ! .Then our week end came, . Suddenly on Sunday the thought crossed in my mind and tried checking the status again. Now its even worse the whole day what I saw was 'SERVICE UNAVAILABLE' page from DELL .Wow!! guess what ? all sites will leave their contact/customer support page down even when their back end server breaks ??

Its monday now , with great hope checked again ! To prove Luck favours the brave :) got our estimated delivery date to April 15 2010 .So we thought its just 3 more days to open the new lappy . Now its tuesday afternoon 02:15 PM, a call from reception saying 'you got your laptop'. Oh man thats really speeeedddy Dell rocksss !.Ok me and my friend planned to take the lap home now . So just went to PL for asking permission of 30 mins. I don't know why I told this ? just like normal lies said I am going out for bank will be back in 30 mins. To my surprise he asked me a favour to drop a cheque in his account :):(:( . Oh man what is this ???!!!! Fine lets do it no way of escaping , first went to bank and deposit the cheque then to be continued >>>>

My most remembrable places in Hyderabad Part - I .

Posted In: Autobiography . By jAI

It was nearly one year two months over after I landed my first foot in Hyderabad .To be frank I just can't believe where these 400 days gone ,it seems like yesterday I joined my company UOL (JUNO) as a fresher . In the past one year I can only recollect few things they are some trip with college friends ,new cool friends in Juno , Office TT board , Server Ops team alerts ,Exceed eclipse windows ,Mails , Restaurants etc. Some few places which I will remember as part of my last one year life is .

Ramoji Film City :

It was way outside the city , we had a chance to go there when some of my college friends hit Hyderabad .It was during summer we visited there ,temp of around 40 C , gang of around 25 we really rocked there . According to us the best of all was stunt show,games ,dance,night decorations etc.If you where in Hyderabad atleast once you should have visit there specially during their season time .

Shamsabhad Airport :

The first place which I saw in Hyderabad ,well constructed outside the city . The road to Airport is my favourite ,I love to go for long bike drive there . It was only once I went there for purpose ,but other than that it was just for fun drive.

Restaurant HUB : There is always a soft link between us and Hub . Atleast once in a week we will go to HUB ,if we miss that there is something definitely wrong. When there is no food in house or office canteen just call HUB for family pack .

Its not just possible to list all of my favourite places in Hyderabad by just a single post. It needs more.

Final Destination 4 in IMAX Prasads Hyderabad - review .

Posted In: Autobiography , My Reviews . By jAI

When we came to know the final destination 4 (3D) gonna get released in Imax prasads ,we just booked it without any second thought.To be simple, our expectations were seemingly high to watch such a thriller in big screen. To feel the complete thrill we thought of going it for 08/06/09 11:00 PM show . We reached theatre well in advance ,so that we won't miss the IMAX majestic promo intro video .To our surprise there is no such a booming sound or digital frames or their all time announcement ,instead we got a frame before us stating "The film you gonna see is not an IMAX version ". Oh God it sucks man.

To talk about Final Destination 4 ,there is no change in bottom line its same and clear i.e., 'You can't cheat death' .Other than that its quite interesting same type of accidents ,visions and thrilling deaths ending with no survivors . Besides big credit should goto sound mix and graphical effects .To be short this is "Just a same thriller with different subjects" .

Few words on Imax prasads .Its always great when you watch Imax version films in Imax screen .My list is not that much big ,but with Dark knight ,Kungfu Panda ,Madagascar 2, Transformers I am always a big fan of IMAX .But when they projected this normal FD4 print to IMAX screen it was something like watching downloaded theater print of new films .Hope IMAX prasads won't disappoint their fans in future.

MYSQL command current_timestamp() and its arithmetic operations (get the current previous date in mysql command ).

Posted In: Autobiography , Must Know . By jAI

Hey guys you won't believe this ,I just spend nearly three hours in just searching for mysql command to get the current date and time of yesterday .It may seem funny and silly to you, but it really took my time .Its been problem with me all days ,I won't read anything to the core ,will just understand the basics of it and try to figure other things out of it .Mostly my principle won many times ,but these are some times where my principle failed. Fine this is my state where I need to finish a imaginative script (assume everythings and write it) within evening . I just finished my coding part and it was a time to get some information on previous dates from MYSQL table .

I know current_timestamp () will give the current timestamp ,but I just want to get the current yesterday time . My search keeps on going in all patterns of key words ,but the result is 404 . Finally after three hours I got this keyword interval from some where around fifth result page of google. This is it.

select current_timestamp();

'2009-09-04 09:33:53'

select current_timestamp() - interval 1 day ;

'2009-09-03 09:33:53'

select current_timestamp() - interval 1 hour ;

'2009-09-03 03:33:53'

select current_timestamp() - interval 1 minute ;

'2009-09-03 03:32:53'

select current_timestamp() - interval 1 second ;

'2009-09-03 03:33:52'

Hope it may help some guys like me at some point .
