Strange mail , from and to is same id

Posted by JV on February 27, 2007

Just now I received an email in my inbox (filtered), subject was about stock market crash and weekly report. Curiously, I opened to see the content, it was some irrelevant stock talks. Further when I checked email message source, it also contained another strange conversation by someone about his absence on job due to mental illness.

Then I checked sender, it was ME, I mean my email was sent through my email id to me , so senders and receiver email id was same. Now, I cannot discard the mails by considering junk mail as sender contains my own email id.

Publishin my post using Qumana Blog Manager

Posted by JV on January 9, 2007

While surfing , on one of blg I found the word "powered by Qumana". I knew that was some blog manager, which allows you to publish your post through a software sitting in your computer.

So I curiously visited the site. Surprisingly I found that they allow you to publish ad also in your posts. This is not something like Google Context Ad which sits on the sidebar of your blog and publish the conext related ads. However, wordpress, do not allow Google Ad Sense as, the code of Google Ads is to be inserted in the main body.

However, with Qumana , it’s ads go in air with the publication of the post and the ad is not context senstive. You can choose the ad to be placed as per the key words supplied to the system.

At this moment I even dont know how it will go but I am exprimenting with it.

Sanjay Dutt : Sentenced or set free?

Posted by JV on November 28, 2006

I am wondering about the effect of the verdict of the trial of Sanjay Dutt. He has been relieved from the allegations of conpiracy of the Bombay Blasts, however he has been proved guilty under Arms Act for possessing the weapons like AK-46unauthrisedly.

The trial seems much of political drama, as the trial concluded in the era of Congress rule. Further, the Dutt camp is surprisingly relieved by the sentence under Arms Act, as if he has been set free. As the actor has been granted bail for appeal, which will be soon filed before the appellate court. Wherein, I believe the sentence of 3 years would be reduced to match the period of the judicial custody Sanjay Dutt underwent before he bailed out in 1994, and he will get set off against that, and he may not have to undergo any further imprionment.

Senior criminal lawyer and defence counsel for some of the prime accussed in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, Majid Memon, a short while ago said, “He possessed and admitted to possessing AK-56, which can’t even be lawfully possessed. Therefore, it was difficult for him to get out of the clutches of law. Any person, who has already spent some period in jail - that period is deducted- he can always knock the door of SC,” he said.
[Mixed reactions to Sanjay Verdict ]

TADA court has found him not guilty for the conspiracy, where Salem who supplied the weapons, out of the consignment send by Tiger Memon for the blasts, is held guilty under TADA Act and also made confessional statement about having done so, and still the court is not able to find any link between Sanjay and Salem. If there is no link at all was established at all then Sanjay and rest of accussed of Bombay Blast could not have been tried togather for the blasts.

Sanjay Dutt has also given statement before the Police Commissioner after the arrest in 1993, hwoever later on he withdrew the statement and four out of five witnesses were turned hositle. Here is another glaring case where witnessess turning hostiles as happened in Best Bakery and Jesica Lal,  making difficult to conclude the judgment

However, I am not unhappy about the whole affiar and even if Sanjay Dutt gets set off against the sentence, as many previliaged accussed also get.

I am bored

Posted by JV on November 11, 2006

I have been dis-connected , disconcerned about my blog recently. I have diverted my time and energy in share market investment, and I have some handsome amount in some un-handsome scrips :) So you might find me confusing you with stock market analysis and other things.

I am feeling bored for last 2-3 days, I dont like to do anything. Just want to sit idle.

I have not visited any fellow bloggers yet. I think I will do it now.

BTW Happy New Year and belated Happy Diwali !!!

ALT+ characters

Posted by JV on July 22, 2006

Using ALT and numeric numbers provide special characters. I tried to type certain numbers to get the result. It appears properly in this post, hope you are
able to see them properly.

In the days of DOS (no graphical interface like window, just plain text) it was way of creativity to create something from these ASCII characters. Fondness of this ASCII art is still surviving somewhere. Check this link , this site has used only ASCII characters, no graphic is used. It has very huge collection of ASCII art.

ALT+1 = ☺
ALT+2 = ☻
ALT+3 = ♥
ALT+4 = ♦
ALT+5 = ♣
ALT+6 = ♠
ALT+7 = •
ALT+8 = ◘
ALT+9 = ○
ALT+10 = ◙

ALT+11 = ♂
ALT+12 = ♀
ALT+13 = ♪
ALT+14 = ♫
ALT+15 = ☼
ALT+16 = ►
ALT+17 = ◄
ALT+18 = ↕
ALT+19 = ‼
ALT+20 = ¶

ALT+21 = §
ALT+22 = ▬
ALT+23 = ↨
ALT+24 = ↑
ALT+25 = ↓
ALT+26 = →
ALT+27 = ←
ALT+28 = ∟
ALT+29 = ↔
ALT+30 = ▲
ALT+31 =▼
