Green Birthday -Earthhour

28th March is my Birthday .. I am glad to have earth hour coming on my Birthday. I am going to support earth hour .
The 'Earth Hour' was initiated by WorldWide Fund for nature (WWF) just two years ago in Sydney, as a show of solidarity against Climate Change, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights. Just for one hour. The movement has today spread to more than 80 countries.
Led by the WWF, more than 50 million people in 370 cities around the world took part in Earth Hour last year. The lights went out at Sydney's Opera House, Rome's Colosseum, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. Even the Google homepage went dark for the day.
This year the 'Earth Hour' is being observed on March 28, 2009 between 8.30 PM- 9.30 PM. Close to a billion people from 825 cities across the world would join this fight and pledge to bring about a change! Leading corporates across the world would also be supporting the cause.
I request readers of my blog to Join the 'Earth Hour' by switching off all lights this Saturday 8.30 PM - 9.30 PM. Just for one hour.
You can also register your support at www.earthhour.org

Bird eye Review: uCertify.com: PrepKit for: 70-529 (C#)

One complete Solution to Study & Pass Microsoft Certification Exam
TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Distributed Application Development

Exam Number: 70-529 (C#)

Link of Product: http://www.ucertify.com/exams/Microsoft/70-529-CSHARP.html

I have been interested in Microsoft Certifications right from beginning of my career. Recently I came across a study guide / preparation kit from uCertify.com. I used full version of the product for Exam Number: 70-529 (C#)

Certainly it is a must util if you want to pass the exam with guaranty.

Microsoft exams are usually based on vast syllabus & it is very difficult to study complete MSDN of 900 pages books & remember those things.
But using such exam preparation kit you can acquire the same knowledge & success with short period of time.

I used this product to know its all feature & usefulness for the exam.

Below is the list of features they provide.
4 full length realistic tests
Learn & Test
300 challenging and realistic practice exam questions
Support for all question types
Simulation Questions
Detailed explanations
References for further study
127 Quiz Questions
162 detailed study notes, articles, exam tips, and how-to
Reports and analysis tools
Customizable exam
Book mark and annotate study material
Random question sequence & answer choices
Rating and Feedback
Customizable Interface
PrepKit Updates
24x7 Technical Support

The most interesting portion for this Kit for me is Study notes.
It is a beautiful collection of Small & useful notes that every developer should know.
They are very obvious question that every developer comes across while studying & his job / projects; uCertify.com Kit answers these questions in short & easy to understand language.
They cover notes from very simple questions like what is XML schema to catchy Q’s like what is singleton activation mode?

When you finish all your study with study Tips, Notes, flash cards & articles you can test your self with four full length tests & check your readiness for actual exam.

These exams actually simulate the real exams. If you are giving Microsoft certification exam first time with this test you should become aware of parametric exam software & be cognisant of exam.


This Kit costs around USD $59.99. This Kit is also available in Indian currency to a very economical cost of INR 1799.10.

I recommend this kit to every one who is going to appear for MS certification exam as well as learn C# for distributed applications in very short time span.

I am writing this quick review (So called Bird eye reviewJ) now. But I am going to use this product for in depth study. You should expect more details about this product on this blog in near future.
Keep reading.

Review : Online photo prints order in India

Recently I was researching for online Photo printing services in India.
I used two of it to order prints of my photos in Pune.

First service I used is
http://www.snapgalaxy.com/
& second is
http://www.zoom.in/

both services are very similar in features.
First you sign up for the service & then upload your photos in photo galleries .
Both service are following features
Upload unlimited photos & share online Albums
Get photos from Picasa web / flicker .
Order prints online
Get prints to shipped in India or US
Pay in Rupees or USD ( Credit card / Pay pal ) -
Zoom.in uses WWW.CCAVENUE.COM as payment processor so one can pay using credit card , or any one of the affiliated Indian bank like HDFC / ICICI / Axis .
On account signup get some free prints. @25 prints are free
For shipping in India shipping cost is Rs 25 for Zoom. in & 35 for snap galaxy.
Usually prints get delivered in India in 3/4 days .
US people can send prints to India or Vice-versa.

Both are good services. These services should keep those rates reasonable. We always have two options 1. Get printed from LAB nearby which involves printing cost & effort of carrying softcopies to lab on Pen drive and second option is for online printing which Involves Internet Bandwidth + Printing + Shipping costs. Advantage with online service is convenience. Good rates will give online service providers a edge over Shop & Lab Competitors.
