Love/Hate relationship with BSNL

The most responsible and irresponsible(at the same time) form of government based service ever. The frequent disconnection of BB is very usual with dataone connection provided by bsnl and some of the line condition that carries the signal is in such a dilapidated condition that its not possible for quality service until it is replaced and the line man will simply rejoin the exposed joins which corrodes subjected to env condition.
I tried to bring to notice of BSNL official thru online grievance method. It was logged on nov 2010 and the rest of response from BSNL is given below.
Looking at the resolution they have provided its pathetic. They have closed it without the problem being solved, reason- it's not a problem for them since its a commonly occurring situation.

Current Status CASE IS YET TO BE FINALLY DISPOSED OFF BY CIRCLE HEAD OFFICE . FORWARDED TO CONCERNED UNITS/SECTIONS FOR TAKING NECESSARY ACTION. PENDING AT TRIVANDRUM HEAD OFFICE.

revision:- 14/02/2011 got a call from bsnl, regarding the disconnection issue that was reported on below given date.
Once before in feb I received a call from bsnl regarding the BB and I said "NO haven't got a problem" and I started thinking when I complained and soon it struck me that it was on 19/11/2010 that I filed a grievance and repented saying no to a call that rarely comes. well in 14/02 i got a call and was asked again well then I asked them when was the complaint registered and they said it was some days back. I rectified by saying some months back and described my issue of frequent disconnection and also quoted that the IBF also have users facing the same problem and I thought its a trademark of BSNL to have such a BB connection. He replied that it could be a line problem . I even said that between my home to the telephone post there are 3 exposed joints which itself is pathetic and can I have a single line extended from the post to my home. response can be done. still waiting for the action.
Until now nothing happened and checking out the status of complaint - check out

Creating an impression is not a priority here (as is seen)

The UI has been changed from a single and simple GTA02 device to a more muddled/messier front page which is a sketch form of devices (and its byproduct) lying around the desktop(if it falls in that group). The mere intention of such an approach is not to entice others with a color display rather giving a black and white impression of what its all about and what it gets involved with. Though lot of work is yet to be done hopefully will implement what is needed. Felt better to display the whole scenario which makes the mobile device(gta02) important. Its not a standalone rather most work involves the IA32 machine which deserves mentioning and this is how I felt is/was right. The Idea is to change the image of respective device on mouse hover as well as display the config of device in a tooltip. This is mostly done for and on firefox. Don't have time to do the adaptation work for other browsers.

I made use of PS for slicing and saved it in html format. Vala!!! I don't have to create a table it does for you.
The overlapped text in the tooltip was rectified by specifying the line height , setting it equal to the font size for #tooltip

adding
background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;
for table td messes up with the default drupal settings so add it to table#Table_01 td

Tested on firefox: 3.0.11 and everything is working as expected.

Without consensus..

yesterday as I was carrying out my mundane task with my wa3002g4 - regular disconnection issue still persisting - but with all that and no program accessing the network the wlan indicator was blinking as in being accessed and with the firewire it was evident that the network was being used without my consensus and now was very eager to find which program was accessing the network so with little search, the very regular form of suggestion - netstat/tcpdump/wireshark was propping up so with the tcpdump found that the

ec2-184-73-194-227.compute-1.amazonaws.com.www

was accessing my box without permission. but even before checking which was the process that was doing it. It stopped - later on found that it was the amazon site doing its job - but how could they do that with no consensus.

The output of tcpdump

Festival Season...

It's just coincidence that when in southern part of India one festival is ongoing correspondingly in north India another version of it is celebrated.
Wonder why all these are not standardized in this era of standardization .

Who is to decide what we think?

How free is our thought process? It is often influenced by many factors  - to mention one of it.. readon...
This is not here to justify anyones claim but a mere look at set of outcome of the incidents which leads a person to a conclusion

Really I hate politics and desist from making any remarks or even mention on any of the subject. But some of the the obvious happenings are not so obvious for the general crowd and I use to wonder how is it possible, that it's hard to notice even when it's out there.

convention followed
A    -    thinkers
B    -    stereotypes

"put a picture of a bike and say it's a car"
Is truth something that is a proprietary of highly educated and experienced chaps who happen to work for an institution and any other independent researcher has no value in the amt of time spend on the related subject.
Why tag something as truther/conspiracy theorist(A) when the ones tagging it are the conspirator(B) themselves. They(B) always want factual evidence by making all of the document/evidence/video footage their own or under confidential tag and expect a normal guy get factual evidence.. how simple is that
Some question to the B's

• It was said that the 911 terrorist master mind had to be captured - where is he now ?

• Iraq was suppose to have WMD - where is the fatual evidence.

• By attacking terroist have you been able to give peace in that region.

If you stand against atrocities, why is that the country involved in unit 731 heinous act is under your protection and why the Palestinian are still suffering in their own land.
It shows only one thing - it for their own interest they are working, for which they will influence the outcome.
These are the guys(supporters as well), who get in debunking, the claims in one the documentary made by a normal guy - even though it was his interest in making himself known that he got involved in create film(s) (which he liked presumably) isn't that we all try to do...
Finding petty faults like volcanic dust pyro or not donating to 911 sufferers or any other is like degrading debunkers
Look at some of the lame stuff(youtube.com) uploaded in order to debunk the claims of documentary - the BBC is showing where the guy lives and how he bought the laptop and what get him started, really pathetically stuff - yep forgot that you need to be in a iso/cmm level company to create truth how very lame. If a guy living in a 12*12 room with laptop bought from shack, can investigate so much about an incident, why not the so called system with so much of resource do it...
So now that it's like investigative scout(A) vs corrupt politician claim(B)
Hmm... lemme guess, probably will go with the investigative scout...

Goodness me... If such a developed nation is manipulating everything then it goes without saying that the country that I am currently enrolled to is in a real mess and no body wants to notice since they are involved in the business of life as they say.
Ridiculous political system/democracy. How to bring the culprits to justice... how can you possibly believe the legal system, which falls under the same system which made this horrific act look like a terror strike... even if the process of justice is carried out they can simply influence the outcome of any investigation.. feeling really helpless .. aren't we just puppets in the hands of these puppeteers.

Latest driver for HP Deskjet F4488

The default hplip 2.8.2 on ubuntu 8.04 was not recognizing the deskjet_F4400 printer so the latest driver (hplip-3.10.6.tar.gz) at the HP was installed from src.
Almost all the steps are specified in hplipopensource.
If the default hplip is installed, remove it.

Download the src from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html

extract the tar.gz file

./configure --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --prefix=/usr --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --enable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --disable-cups-drv-install --enable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build

make

and

sudo make install

add username to the lp group

sudo usermod -a -G lp $USER

now connect the usb printer and power on the printer... if not done this way the hplip will not detect the device

su hp-setup 

will activate qt4 based config dialog... follow the instruction as specified and by opting for test prn page the following will be printed out..

All the features of the all in one printer has not been used on my box
In my case the cups daemon was disabled... to enable it use
sudo sysv-rc-conf
and start the service using
/etc/init.d/cupsys start

I have been using the scanner of F4488 without any problem whatsoever for quite some time now on ubuntu 8.04 and the application used is Xsane Image Scanner(v-0.995). It working fine for me. Some of the screen shots of the application in action.
