Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender [Spanish Embassy]

March 13, 2009 |12:34 | Usual Crap  By : Jag

I was just browsing through the Picassa Web Albums of google and came across Julian's album of pictures from Spain, truly amazing! Before even i completed looking at all the photos I did a quick google for embassy of Spain in Pakistan to apply for travelling visa, i got the details and email address embesppk@correo.maec.es of Spanish embassy in Islamabad, I wrote them an email asking for travel visa process for a Pakistani National...

and sent! after 2 minutes I got email returned Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender [unknown user] now, what shall I assume ? nobody in the Spanish embassy cares about their email system or what ?

from the email address I assume its hosted in Spain, and somehow they forgot to create the User account for Pakistani embassy or they don't even know it exists.. dang!

Windows 7 ? eh..

January 9, 2009 |17:45 | Technical Stuff  By : Jag

Yesterday, I successfully installed Windows 7 pre-beta on my Desktop PC 2nd partition which had Visa 32bit RTM.. as much as I hate vista that I formatted the whole partition for Windows 7.. and I was really surprised at the speed of installation and boot-time.

Though I did'nt clock the actual times but i'm guessing it took 15-18 minutes for fresh installation from scratch, and around 20 seconds of boot-time.. and memory usage? well that certainly is still a big concern since by default all the Aero graphics were enabled & etc.. what not! on first start it was using around 560megs of RAM out of 1 GB I have.. to be it looks like a polished Vista on steroids or something. I hope the guys at Microsoft must have a huge plan for Windows 7, since after Vista everything is very sqeaky.....

Recently i've added AdSense Link-Units on www.click2win.com.pk website just to see how is the response, though the link units are at times mis-leading but looking at the bounce ratios for the website I would'nt worry too much specially if there is increase of about 2-3% bounce ratio.. but i'm expecting atleast 50% increase in AdSense CTR and ofcource $$ :)

January 5, 2009 |12:30 | Usual Crap  By : Jag

Well here is Part II of Year 2009 resolutions, well the list is obviously small compared to what I was expecting but this Part II is more important than Part I, i beleive mainly because it addresses the core reasons for everything.

  • Start saying no for work / things that can't be managed or adjusted given the schedule.
  • Get more use of GTD (Get Things Done) lists.
  • Use existing infrastructure to full extent.
  • Finish atleast 12 books in year 2009..
  • Hold people responsible for their actions.
  • An empire is built .. bit by bit!

Feeling happiness

January 3, 2009 |18:16 | Usual Crap  By : Jag

Buddha said..

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.

Now, in order to meausre happiness I think one must measure the benefit your work or words do to others and yourself.

Today I really felt happy after partially-completing a project of client (can't disclose the name unfortunately), I notified the client with the progress and something inside me was dancing on it's own tunes while sending the email about the progress. Maybe that's happiness ? Now the thing is how happy I am/was and how happy I want to be is altogather a different scope, but it's just that feeling happiness is way out of this world hard to measure itself..

I've changed my name...

January 2, 2009 |17:49 | Usual Crap  By : Jag

Often you see in newspapers and other print media that people change their last names for XYZ reasons, some get married some are thrown out of their families and some are more worried about their status. But I doubt i've heard on a blog or a website that people have changed their name.. anyhow here is a little history of what my name has gone thru..

Jagdesh Kumar .. mostly in school life and college because at the time of registration when I was kid obviously for some reason everybody thought that adding "Kumar" suffix was like a cool thing specially in our culture, but apparently kumar is not a name from what I see it, it's a status given to a person. but wotever..

Jagdesh .. for some reason when I got my passport made and my NIC.. there was no Kumar attached in my name, so dang there we go.. Kumar was lost somewhere in the transition of life.

Jagdesh Pahuja Arjandas.. after I got off from college I lived in Dubai from 1999-2003 or so, over there people are called by their Name along with fathers' name such as "Sheikh XYZ bin ABC" so hence my name was also twisted according to their legal documents etc..

Jagdesh Pahuja .. when I returned back to Karachi, Pakistan and joined for bachelors degree in all the forms there was additional field of father's name, so my form looked kind of weird having name field and father's field same except for Jagdesh, so I refilled the forms, with father name Arjan Das and my name Jagdesh Pahuja.. so i ended up in my new identity again!

Jagdishh Pahuja .. as of now writing this post i've twisted my name again for no reason apart from the fact that there is no "Jagdesh" name.. in reality, the real spelling is "Jagdish" and the extra trailing "h" is the special effect of movies (j/k). And Pahuja is my family name or caste, or whatever.

My Declaration

I Jagdishh Pahuja s/o Arjan Das Pahuja here by declare that from 2-Jan-2009 onwards I will be addressed by changed name.

My Year 2009 resolutions (Part-I)

January 1, 2009 |01:01 | Usual Crap  By : Jag

Before anything I would like to wish everyone Happy New Year 2009. Below is my wishlist or new year's resolutions of 2009, i'm calling it Part-I because i'm sure i've missed out plenty of the things I want to do.. which I will try to finalize in a day or two, so i'll post the part-ii here when i'm done. For the meanwhile here it goes..

  • Atleast have 24 new websites online in 2009, does'nt matter clients websites personal websites etc.. just the number has to be over 24!
  • My final year BCS project has been pending since over a year, and i'd want to finish it this year! so I can go to my convocation or atleast have a look at my bachelors degree :)
  • Buy 4 pair of quality shoes! why 4 ? well no reason just I need 4 shoes which are worth.
  • I've had my D-SLR Camera Canon EOS 40D since ummmm few months ? or so.. but i've not really had the time to fiddle with it, but now I'll want to have atleast 1 photo each day snapped with it and either stored in my computer or memory card. The photo can be of anything.. food, people, wall, etc..
  • I have over 2000 images lying in my office computer since years which i'm unable to upload due to various reasons.. but this year i will be uploading 10 photos per week with tagging and not just dumping them over lol!
  • I'll be trying to avoid watching movies specially late nights or day-time or holiday, i'll keep the movies on my cell phone which I can watch while travelling so it kills my travelling time. I hate to sleep while travelling but do you have another choice?
  • Ahh!! listen to music.. specially trance!! more more more...
  • Start preparing for learning either Hindi or French, atleast basic level stuff.
  • I will be creating an email group list where by I can forward great stuff to friends and in return receive cool things, atleast a better way to keep in touch and share things which may brighten or darken someone's day LOL!!
  • Travel to atleast 2 destinations out of home country.
  • And travel within home country as frequently as possible or time permits.

I think that's about it for now!.. part II will be posted in a day or two.

B.B. passed away over a year ago ?

December 30, 2008 |01:07 | Usual Crap  By : Jag

It's been over a year since my last useful post on this blog about Benazir Bhutto death, I myself at times don't beleive that time flies by so fast.. it's good that I had posted on the blog so I can realize now what I've did in past 1 year.. to summarize it all "nothing much" I would say.

This time maybe for the first time i'm thinking to make Year 2009 wishlist or resolutions or whatever I may call it later, so wish me luck :)
