Creating large Sized files

If you want to create a file of any size just use nothing more than what's supplied with Windows.

Start by converting the desired file size into hexadecimal notation (base 16). Use the Windows Calculator (to open calculator, type calc in the run command and press enter) in Scientific mode (click on view in the calculator and select the "scientific mode") do to this. Suppose you want a file of 1 million bytes. Enter 1000000 in the calculator and click on the Hex option to convert it (1 million in hex is F4240.) Pad the result with zeroes at the left until the file size reaches eight digits— 000F4240.

Now open a command prompt window. Enter the command DEBUG BIGFILE.DAT
You get a message saying "File not found", ignore that message.

Type RCX and press Enter key.

Debug will display a colon prompt.
Enter the last four digits of the hexadecimal number you calculated (4240, in our example).
Type RBX and press Enter key, then enter the first four digits of the hexadecimal
size (000F, in our example).

Enter W for Write and Q for Quit.
C:\>debug bigfile.dat
File not found
-rcx
CX 0000
:4240
-rbx
BX 0000
:000f
-w
Writing F4240 bytes
-q
You've just created a one-million-byte file using Debug; and you can create it of your desired size using the same technique.

Windows Live Mail Beta

Recently I have upgraded to Windows Live Mail Beta, the UI has changed alot, it's very cool with light colors and important thing is no Ads, except at the top of the page, which does not refresh with any action. The site is totally ajaxified, no more page refreshing, its very fast to access. New features like drag and drop your emails between folders. The mail box size is also increased to 2 GB, which is a very good sign to shift to Live Mail Beta.

Trip to Mallela Thirtam

Last week I have been to Mallela Thirtam with my Engineering friends. This on the way to srisailam, and about 180 Km from Hyderabad. We started around 9:30 morning from Hyderabad and by the time we reach the place it was around 1:00 clock afternoon.

The place is famous for waterfalls and greenish location, according to the local people, the waterfalls throughout the year. We had bath under the falls, as went in the month of december the water was really cool, I suppose it will be between 5 to 10 degree celsius. Took alot of pics. Their is a small pool which is formed coz. of the waterfalls, you can also swim in that, we did not as most of us cannot swim.
After that we had lunch their.

Pics taken at that location:

Dhoom machale dhoom...

Exactly I am talking about the film Dhoom 2. This is my first film in this millennium, the last time I saw a film on big screen is way back in 1999. I do remember that as it saw on my sister's birthday, December 20^th. I went to Dhoom 2 with my whole office team, about 45 folks. The film is not up to the expectations, the begginning was a hit, but the end was really a flop.

Hrithik was looking great in his role as Aryan (A). Abhishek was very cool in his role. The good thing about the film is that we can enjoy the songs, two of them are really good and watching Bips & Aish. Aish at 33 is still looking very gorgeous, bips has a very small role, but she is asusual very sexy in the film.

Overall it is an average film, but can be enjoyed with friends.....

Never Go for Reliance Boradband (Hyd folks)

This is my personal experience with the Reliance Communications, Hyderabad. I stay near by ameerpt (Hyderabad). I applied for an Internet connection in the second week of November this year, and the marketing guy promised me to provide the Internet service with in a week time. OK I thought lets wait for a week, I waited for one week, ten days, still I did not get any response from them. So, I started calling to the customer support people, when I call them they won't respond properly and some times say that it is under processing, and they were giving some silly reasons like they are short of cables etc..

A month passed by and I am really fed up this people and last week I have cancelled my request and gone for an another provider.

Please, do not go for reliance if you have any other provider near your place, the best one is Airtel or Tata Indicom, not much experienced about them, but according to my friend's review.
