Java mistakes by me-part 1 (A new venture...)

2009-09-18T09:17:00.000-07:00

I was trying to establish a connection with an Oracle server for database connection using JDBC with the following syntaxes:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc.oracle.thin:@ip:port:",
"username","password");

I got the following errors during runtime after various stages and combinations of syntaxes:
1) noclassdeffounderror
2) unsupportedclassversionerror
3) sqlException
After breaking my head for nearly 5 hours I found that the solution is very simple.
What was missing is that the in the jre folder of the java sdk installation the classes12.jar file was not defined which defines the OracleDriver class.

Solution:

just get the classes12.jar file from the oracle folder. For me it was in a folder like:
"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdbc\lib"
just copy it from the folder defined similarly in your computer and paste it in the folder like:
"C:\JDK\j2sdk1.4.2_13\jre\lib\ext"
and then execute your java program and access your database.

Also i found that we can declare the driver class also as below:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");

It runs just fine :).

Keeping it simple

2008-11-09T06:31:00.000-08:00

The thoughts have piled up. They have crossed the danger level. It is time to flush them out, once more! Alas! These thoughts always choke the mind as they need words to support them and giving words to these thoughts is one of the major challenges I face. Of course, it is easy for every novelist to pour the thoughts out. After all, their mind is an ocean of words with thoughts floating in them and breeding more thoughts. Ah!" Mind is an ocean"- where have I heard that before?

Mind over matter

2008-09-08T02:46:00.000-07:00

Let me try to explain my state of mind. I feel totally confused. I guess there are too many things to worry about and my mind is unable to sort out my tasks and suggest courses of actions. The only way to clear up my mind is to prioritize my tasks and complete them as soon as possible. When I tried to do that, thoughts of other tasks and deadlines kept creeping into my mind as a negative feedback. That lead to stress and tension. Worrying about the things to be done , I couldn't complete the task on hand and started other tasks simultaneously. That meant I had to worry about all the tasks at once and that lead to even more tension. I feel pathetic. Sometimes the burden of work seems so daunting that I just sit around and do nothing, letting the mind wander in abyss as if it had no purpose.

People who are good at multitasking are more successful and efficient in terms of productivity. Multitasking may either involve usage of more than one of the senses at a time or it may involve solving different problems at the same time.A person who drinks a cup of coffee while reading a newspaper and listening to a song from a mp3 player and simultaneously walking down a street is an example of the former type of multitasking. Another example is that of a hawker who winds up a toy while he walks around shouting about the things he sells. The cumulative effect of different pleasure giving or energy consuming tasks either add up or nullify each other so that we feel either very joyous or tired or just about normal. Multitasking is supposed to keep the mind alert, as we seek to complete the tasks in our terms. A manager is supposed to be very good at multitasking. After all, he has to handle different problems at the same time and is responsible for solutions of all the problems. This requires the mind to be in the alert state most of the time to perform all the tasks efficiently. The stress which the mind has to overcome is enormous and it increases with environmental factors like reputation of the company and manager. Often experience comes in handy to reduce the stress and that is why managers are often old and experienced people.

It is quite humbling to see many great people solving many great problems simultaneously around me, while I keep worrying about my state of mind. Another sentence that undermines my mind unfortunately. While the body driven by my soul writes this last line with little inputs from my mind, I feel a more relaxed person now and understand my mind much better.

This 1977 documentary style film, beautifully captures the less appreciated sport of Bodybuilding. If nothing else, it is worth seeing for the muscles alone, which is surely to embarrass and inspire today's slothful and indolent population. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the cynosure of all eyes in the movie. We see "muscles" building up real time, as the movie gradually unfolds with the realization of the hard work and perseverance the bodybuilders have to put up with, as a part of their daily routine. It is mind-boggling to see these bodybuilders cooking themselves up to create sinewy delicacies. Bodybuilders, though from different backgrounds, having different emotional aspects and different driving forces, they all share the love and passion for being the best when it comes to bodybuilding.The charisma of Arnold and narration of the story bolsters the movie. Arnold's whole take on bodybuilding is highly informative, inspiring and at times prankish. The jocose rivalry between Arnold and Louis Ferrigno is shown in a very intense yet entertaining manner. Mike Katz and Franco create a great impact in their short screen time. It is a great movie and is sure to invigorate your sleepy muscles.

Me: May I come in?
Doctor: Yes please. What is your problem?

Me:I have throat infection.
Doctor: Since?

Me: For the past 4 days.
Doctor: Did you have symptoms like fever, cough, phelgm, headache?

Me: yes!
Doctor: Ok! Open your mouth and say 'Aaaa'

Me: With my tongue out?
Doctor: oh yes please.

Me: Aaaa!
(Doctor laughs gently as if there was no need for exclamation
Doctor directs the torch into my mouth.)
Doctor: Hmm ok! Now turn to your back.

(Doctor places the stethoscope over different parts of my back and checks the body sounds and then prescribes some medicines along with the dosages.)
Me: Thank you doctor!

Hopefully the medicines will cure me!! But what should I do to prevent it in the future. By knowing the potential sources of infection( that includes water, food, sanitation, lifestyle) I can at least try to minimize my chances of getting the infection. Asking the doctor about it post diagnosis is a good idea. I only regret not asking about it.

Arcane Apologist's Argots

2008-05-26T09:38:00.000-07:00

Advocate Arriyappa's abode aquisition story is quite apocryphal, albeit august. The advocate, an avid reader, audacious speaker and an abysmal singer was astute and also full of avarice. People had ambivalent feelings towards him. As the story goes, on a fine azure day, the advocate admonished his adjutants in an acerbic tone to be more careful in handling his appurtenance, when one of them broke his new apothecary table. It seems, he knew at that moment that a change of abode was the need of the hour. The adventitious incident was followed by an aggrandized search for a new abode. Nobody could allay or assuage him. Though people tried to allude him, it only led to increased asperity and from then on things went awry. The advocate searched and searched for days non-stop making him look asinine and his subordinates took to avocation during his house-hunt. During the ten days he spent on the lookout, he wore an atavistic and abjected look. When he finally found his dream abode, he averred to his subordinates with alacrity. The abode had an amazing arboretum and some antiquated, antediluvian antiques. The advocated avowed to hold an aria every year in his new abode with him being the singer. His antics were adverted to but never affronted. People grew fond of him and the amity accrued.

"Nuovo Cinema Paradiso" well the name suggests it all.It is an Italian movie. A movie about a big director who remembers his childhood and teenage years and how one person had a great influence on him. An engaging movie about friendship, about love and about cinema. The acting and the script is phenomenal. It is pure magic. You will wish to see it more than once. That is for sure.

Hi
This month's recco is "Bachcheha Ye Aseman"("Children of heaven")
Well I came across this really nice movie during my Film studies course last month. It is an Iranian movie with Neorealism genre. As was taught to us, the movie is a tribute to the Italian neorealism which depicted the struggle for living during the post war era. The director seems to have made a special tribute to "Ladri Di Biciclette" (The Bicycle Thief) directed by Vittoria De Sicca' considered to be a pioneer in Italian Neorealism based movies. Coming back to the movie, it shows how a little brother and sister, belonging to a family struggling for living,try to cope up with their problem without letting their parents know about it. The movie is very cute and heart touching.U feel glued to the screen throught the movie.

Hi all. This August you return to school in this 1967 flick. "To Sir, With Love " portrays the student teacher relationship. It is about a new teacher on his first job who is assigned the task of teaching spoilt poor teenagers and it is the story of their transformation under him. It is worth a watch. The title song is amazing. Here is the lyrics:
Those schoolgirl days, of telling tales and biting nails are gone,
But in my mind,
I know they will still live on and on,
But how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try,

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters,
That would soar a thousand feet high,
To Sir, with Love

The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
And weak from strong,
That's a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
But I, would rather you let me give my heart,
To Sir, with Love

Hmm I seem to have skipped the june post. Nevertheless, this is my recco for this month. "Big Fish" is the story of an adventurous man and his son. The story is a autobiography of the man as told by him. His son seems skeptical about the fictitious and adventurous nature of the story as told to him and he wants to discover the truth. Well the story is not about how he discovers, it is what he discovers. The acting is fine and the characters are really amazing.To summarize: "The man is a big fish in a small pond and the son is a tadpole in that pond searching for the big fish"

Hi guests. My recco for this month's movie is my all time favourite "Vita e bella,La"
aka "Life is beautiful".It is an italian movie based during WWII.
It is the story about a man who loves his family very much. He has an incredible sense of humour. He uses this skill for comforting his family during adverse situations. Half of the movie deals with the romantic and family life of this character played by Roberto Benighi and then it shifts to the darker sides of the world war with a kind of humour shown never before. This movie will surely leave an impact on you. I never get tired seeing this movie. It is original and I must say very clever from director's side( who incidently is also the main character of the movie!).

Go and see it this month. You will never regret it.

I hope so start a new subsection in my blog which will give my recco for a movie "u must watch".The movie will be recommended randomly without any inportance to rating(A,U whatever),year, awards,genre etc.It is purely based on my personal choice.
I hope to update the section every month. Well "hopefully.."
So lets get started:
The movie i reccomend you to watch this month is :The Princess Bride

I think this a kind of movie which fully showcases the typical fantasy most of the kids expect.
This is a story told by a grandfather to his grandson. It captures the true way of storytelling:"Enrapturing and imaginable". The movie is a complete fantasy with a rich girl(princess), poor boy, evil prince, witches, swordsmen, giants, crooked nobles, scary animals, death traps, horses. Well a complete fantasy package with comedy, action, thrills and romance.
What else do you want.

I would not like to reveal too much. just go and see this work of art. Or else read the book on which it is based.

After all its a" storybook story".

Caught in a Virtual world

2006-12-21T09:32:00.000-08:00

A computer can do things to you. Wasting long hours just manipulating files, playing games, surfing the net, watching movies, listening to music,etc has made computer our one and only center of entertainment in the leisure time. Leave that alone, even if you consider the IT jobs which employs millions of people,they need to do work on a computer making programs, softwares, trouble shooting etc.So for these people, computer has become an integral part of life.Let me hypothesise the long term effects of the computers.

The number of obese people will increase, owing to the sedentary lifestlye thanks to the computers
The number of people wearing glasses will increase
People will be more worried about getting a computer fixed rather than getting their child admitted to school.
The price of computer will be taken more seriously than the price of petrol
Census will be taken online
The Olympics will be played online
Terrorists will destroy files by creating a suicide file
The main headlines in the news will be like:

" A computer found unplugged at an internet cafe"
"Two computers caught touching each others screen"

There will be no more newspapers circulated beacuse people will get so much used to the computers that reading newspaper will be considered obsolete.
With younger and younger people using computers, evolution will have its effects and time will come when the first thing a child needs to be shown is a computer screen image of his /her parents who otherwise will be unrecognisable.
Parties will be conducted online with people from all around the world
People will visit places only through computer, capturing the beauty of that place, only differece it being a virtual world.

simple marketing strategies

2006-12-01T07:05:00.000-08:00

I visited the city's main market today, T. Nagar.I needed to purchase household footwear and some fruits and snacks.I boarded the govt. transport bus outside the campus( Bus stop being the IIT)and purchased a ticket for T Nagar.It cost me Rs.3.Collecting a ticket is important. Sometimes the municipality inspectors do random checks for tickets while unboarding. There wasnt much crowd in the bus when i boarded, but my oh my, when I unboarded,the bus was fully flooded with the humans.It was normal as the time was around 10 am which is when most of the shops and offices open up and hence the resulting rush.

After unboarding I walked along the market road and it was then my mind started observing some things and relating them.As I walked down the road, I came across a few temples with some shops and street hawkers,just in front of them.What was interesting about these shops and hawkers was that they all sold things somehow related to temple. Things like photos of Gods w/o Calendars,wood and incense, flowers, mud lamps and other things that may be offered in the temple were being sold.As I passed the temple region, the scenario changed and I found hawkers and shops selling a wide variety of retail items from comb to TV. The market has both huge malls and small unnoticeable shops.The most crowded regions in the market are supposedly the most popular.

however there is a great concentration of shops selling fruit juices in some areas.I thought it was totally absurd. Why have so many shops selling the same item at one place when they can be dispersed in different areas? The simple answer to this is that different regions have different concentrations of buyers. And as a result these juice making shops marked the boundary of the region where they can access many potential customers.These localities may include Bus terminals and Extremely popular shops. However one disappointing thing was that sparing a few, these shops did not sell bottled water.

So as I went deep into the market, I felt hungry, I had my breakfast in one of the most popular fast food store " Saravana Stores" ( the Indigeneous Wal Mart)in the market.What makes it popular?
Well this store goes by the rule of sell more charge less.This simple logic has not only attracted the customers but it has also created a mark on customers.This ultimately leads to high popularity and enhances the companies prestige and profits. This strategy may not be suitable for the low budget shops, so an ingeneous idea they have adopted is to locate their shops near the fast food store.Also some shops appoint salesmen for selling the things.This gives them greater penetration and chance to lure the customers.

Finally,a funny but very tactical observation.The malls are mostly air conditioned and they are always crowded by customerss and relief seekers. It is in such places you find hawkers selling snacks and simple 'on the way' items, making most of the time the potential customer stands there for seeking the cold air from the air conditioned mall.These hawkers rely on the " product pheromones".
Showcasing and manipulating items to ensure their quality in a way to tempt the customer. Temptation yields most of the time and it is there the profit comes in.

Simply put, you dont need to be some hard core marketing strategist to understand some basics, simple observations and the desire to learn from them can make you understand the perennial market.

just do it

2006-11-30T04:50:00.000-08:00

How does it feel when something you do makes you feel embarassed in front of others?As Gandhiji said" fear is the man's biggest enemy".You do something because of these main reasons:

you are obliged to do it( includes the case when you become helpless and have no other option)
you like do to it(includes the experimentation of doing the thing irrespective of whether it is right or wrong)
you are so routinely used to doing it

Experimentation is an important part of life. The more you experiment the more you learn and add to your experience.I think even sitting idle and doing nothing is an experiment as long as the results are different. People do job(that same old routine work), marry and try to enjoy life.Well it is the only experiment that the majority of the world performs( doesnt include researchers,professors,good sportspersons,mentors and entrepreneurs,).

Think about it, if a scientist keeps doing the same experiment getting the same result everytime, it is fruitless. Consider this, a spin bowler keeps bowling the same kind of ball. Well I dont think he will be effective at all.Similarly, it is important that we experiment just to give variety to life.

One of the major problems in experimenting is the part when you feel embarassed with your experiment.There always lies this part within your mind the "what others will think" factor(in short WOWT).This is a mental blockage and is very difficult to overcome. Every normal person succumgs to it at some point of the time or the other. I want to try smoking, I want to shave my pubic hairs, I want to shout in the library, I want to put a night out, I want to talk to a girl I saw.

Well I say go ahead and just do it without bothering about others. But remember, an experiment should be done with utmost safety considerations. It shouldnot harm you in the long run.

So what are you waiting for, just explore the world.Even this blog is an experiment. :)

khaike paan banaras waala

2006-10-18T03:09:00.000-07:00

Saw this incredible movie of Amitabh Bachchan as DON.The plot is too good and the songs are well sung and directed. "DON" was released in 1978 and was the Chandra Barot's maiden and only film as a Director.The producer nariman Irani had died before the completion of the movie and it was dedicated to him.

I was particularly impressed by the song " Khaike Paan Banaras waala" (sung by kishore kumar), the expressions and dance of amitabh bachchan and the lyrics of the song are a must watch.The movie was way ahead of its time in terms of the typical Bollywood movies made then. Here are some of the dialogues:

"Don ko pakadna mushkil hii nahin, namumkin hai." - Don(punchline)

English: "It is not only difficult to catch Don, it is impossible"

"Mujhe pata hai kii pistol mein goli nahin hai, tumhe pata hai kii pistol mein goli nahin hai, par police ko nahin pata kii pistol mein gole nahin hai" -Don to Kamini

English: "I know there are no bullets in the revolver, you know that there are no bullets in the revolver, but the police doesnt know that that there are no bullets in the revolver"

It remains one of the most influential cult films of all times.

The movie has been remade this year by the Original Don's scriptwriter, Javed Akhtar's son Farhan Akhtar.It has Shahrukh Khan playing as the Don.I am very excited about the movie.

V for Vendetta

2006-05-28T03:49:00.000-07:00

I saw this remarkably well made and inspiring movie "V for Vendetta"
Tha dialogues are absloutely amazing.It has good rating too( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/ )Check it out:

V says

1)
"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

2)VI VERI VENIVERSUM VIVUS VICI.

remember remember, the fifth of november,
gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason, why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot

3) people should not be afraid of their governments,
governments should be afraid of their people

4)ood evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security, the familiar, the tranquility, repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.
There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the annunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance, and depression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillence coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myraid of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence.
Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten.

5)There's something terribly wrong with this country isin't, Cruelty and Injustice, Intolerance, Depression and once you have the freedom to object, the thing can speak is you saw fit. You know they have census and systems of survillence cohersing your conformity and soliciting your submission. I know you are afraid,[chukling]'who in be' War, Terror, Disease, Fear got the best of you. In your panic you go to the now high Chancellor Adam Sutler, he promised you order, he promised you peace and all he demanded in return was your silent obidient consent.
[Changing to low pitch]But if you see what I see, If u feel as I feel and if u would seek as I seek and I ask you to stand beside me and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never ever be forgot. [reception static]

5 March 2004,08:00 AM,Jinam,230km west coast of Ivory Coast:
Mr.Gamni and his son were strolling in the beach when suddenly a lightening struck in the Atlantic ocean.Mr.Gamni was left gasped at the sight of the lightening across the sky in such dry and dull morning.Suddenly they saw a ship out of nowhere, and before their own eyes it capsized.They went back to the police and informed the authorities about the incident. The expert detective Rimon Rabes was assigned the task.He went to the spot and then with the help of coastal authorities arranged for a scuba diving investigation.But after 3 hours of thorough research they couldn't figure out a single clue.Rimon Rabes called off the day and investigated the eyewitnesses.He was sure that something had happened.
He went back to the spot and walked along the beach.Alas,he fell down...

Well it was surprising to find that there was no response to my stupid derivation.So to keep u in some lightmood here are some indigeneous liners:
Kid(to Electrical Engineer): What's the opposite of make up?
Electrical Engineer:It's Break Down.

ordinary student:"I can solve this question in 5 minutes.How about you?"
extraordinary student:"I can check your answer."

Coach(to Captain):"Make sure you lead from the front."
Captain:"Sure coach!I will strictly follow you."

2005-02-18T21:21:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time I was a kid.I mean it!But after 12 years I became a teenager.I don't know how?But the fact is you never are what you were a minute ago.This may seem quite illogical,philosophical,uncommon,blablabla...But just take into consideration the following examples:
->When you buy something-you barter the money you had a minute ago.
-> When you speak-you have lesser energy(energy dissipated as sound energy) than you had
minute ago.
->When you forgive someone-you have more wisdom than you had a minute ago
-> and the list goes forever.....
What I want to emphasize is that age is directly proportional to time. --EQUATION (1)
So now comes the real Story...
It was 16/02/05.I went to the shop to purchase some confectionaries, to be precise chocolates(Rs.5/-).I was subconscious, i think.I gave a Ten rupee note and came out without change. I realised it when I was half through on my way. I returned only to find people crowding in the shop. I felt embarassed to ask the shopkeeper, so I came left again.On my way I found a Rs5/- note on roadside. Seeing no one around I Grabbed the money like a monkey and felt justice was done. The joy was so much that I decided to get on more chocolate.
In the shop, I asked the shopkeeper for 1 more choco.He didn't ask for money. It turned out that he had recognised me as the person who forgot to take the change.I had mixed emotions.A sudden feeling of guilt rushed through my blood. I now had 2 choco and Rs5/-.I decided I wouldn't spend the money I gained in the process.
The following day 17/02/05 I was cycling, when I went offroad(as you rightly guessed I was subconscious), the 5 rupee note fell out of my pocket into the heap of grass. I could never find it.
I decided to leave.So I came back home with a confused mind.I am still trying to figure out whether I lost a Rs.5/- note or did I have an unnecessary extra chocolate!.
This incident leads me to the hypothesis that fortune varies inversely with time. (EQUATION 2)
Hence from 1 and 2 (assuming constants same):: age*fortune=constant.
By the way I derived this while in a conscious state!
