Return of the maestro! @ 10:22 AM

What a return !

Sachin Tendulkar marked his return to international cricket with an amazing 140 in his first match in 6 months.
Barring the hiccup against the Aussies, he was at it again today with a patient innings of 60+ when everyone around him (wearing the blue shirt) seems to be in a great rush to go back to the pavilion.India could manage a respectable (if it was that) total , thanks to Sachin and went on to win the match.
Very interesting to see what happens next now -- the one against Aussies would be a special one with McGrath in pick of things again. I wish Warney was around too -- Sachin especially takes a liking for him :)

Malaika is born @ 12:00 AM

We were blessed with our wonderful daughter on August 31st 2006.

We have named her Malaika.
Malaika is a swahili word which means "angel". Swahili is a language spoken in most parts of Africa, including Tanzania where mommy Rashmi spent her childhood years.
We are excited with this beautiful new addition to our family.
Here is a picture of her:

IE7 was reporting DotNetGenerics.com as a phishing site, only on its search page. This was probably because it was using MSN as search provider and Google as Ad provider. Who knows? Anyway I sent a request to the IE7 phishing team and they removed this page and now it doesn't show up as a phishing site :)

ASP.NET 2.0 rocks!!! @ 12:26 PM

I have been playing a lot with .NET 2.0 lately --especially ASP.NET 2.0. Already like a lot of the newer features like site map, GridView, Master pages etc. Didn't like the new structure of folders with ASP.NET. Looks like I was not the only one -- Check Scott Guthrie's blog for the new Web Project Model Option Coming for VS 2005.

The best feature I liked about 2.0 is GENERICS -- I have been trying to create my own version of generics for .NET 1.0/1.1 but still this will be quite a saver in terms of time, type safety and amount of code written. I liked it so much that I registered a new domain :www.dotnetgenerics.com. Right now it just points to the current site, but hoping to add a lot more as I learn more about them.

New version of SwanandMokashi.com is coming soon -- completely re-written in ASP.NET 2.0!!! :)

Numeric image in Guest book @ 08:58 AM

I got tired of receiving spam in the guestbook. So I have added an image code of 6 digits which the user has to input in a textbox

This is to differentiate between human users and spambots. Hopefully I have seen the last of spam in the guestboook.
If anybody needs code for the above security feature, please feel free to contact me at :info@swanandmokashi.com

The fish are here ! The fish are here! @ 01:36 PM

I have got 6 bloodfin tetras , 4 julii cory catfish and 1 golden mystery snail for the 15 gallon tank at home.

This tank has a new hood with a slightly pinkish light. The pinkish light is bringing out the color of the bloodfins very well .. I am surprised why I never gave bloodfins a thought -they seem wonderful fish !

The julii cories always stay in a group and are cute -- always active and looking for food :):)

Snail is about 1 inch in diameter -- but stays near the plants. This worries me as to the snail eating the plants, otherwise it is very interesting to watch !!

Tank setups

Setup 1
3 gallon FW Eclipse 3 with biowheel
Plants - Java moss
1 Male Betta - ALFA

Setup 2
15 Gallon tall FW
Sand Substrate
Ebbo-Jaber 125 Watts heater
Millennium 1000 filter
15 Watts Fluroscent
Plants
Java moss, 6 Aponogetons, 5 bunches of Anacharis, 1 Anubias Barteri, 1 Anubias Frazeri, 1 Anubias barteri 'coffeefolia'
Fish
6 bloodfin tetras,4 julii cory catfish, 1 golden mystery snail

Indeed, if the first dimension were represented by a visible curvature only, it would be conceivable. Thus for every not plane continuum we can substitute a plane continuum of more dimensions

Dravid named captain of India @ 02:50 PM

Hmmm in an interesting news Rahul Dravid has been made the captain of the Indian cricket team, for the tri-series in Sri Lanka later this month.Interestingly Sourav Ganguly, who is supposed to serve a 6 match ban, has been included too as a 16th player. Not sure, why he is not the captain then ? Does this mean, Dravid has replaced Ganguly as the captain permanently ? Who knows? Welcome changes were inclusion of Suresh Raina, the talented young player - the selectors seems to be finally getting ready for the World cup in 2007. However I was disappointed with the exclusion of Dinesh Mongia. Not sure what else can a guy do to get in the team?
