While using Cpatcha 1 question a developer always faces is whether to use it or not ? Mostly it is counted as an overhead….Coz on one hand we talk about user friendliness and on the other we are telling the user to prove that he is not a robot by filling a field that is not even remotely connected to the user or even the form itself.

From my own experience….before using Captcha I used to get 50 comments daily on Redvapours.com that were spam and had all the words ranging from what lingerie does Paris Hilton wears to really asking me If I wanted hot babes right next to my neighborhood….. apart from that also count in the comments that start as “Hey.. your blog is really Cool… Check out blahblahblah.com I hope you will gain more insight”

…. Seeing that my website has relatively less traffic these 50 comments daily were enough to make me crib and at the end of the week I would select all the comments and BAAMM!! them into the trash… so that’s where Captcha proves helpful and that is where reCaptcha actually comes in. I have used reCaptcha in many of client’s websites and I am a fan of their usefulness and accuracy.

Besides stopping scam, reCaptcha also helps in digitizing textual documents… so the words that you actually put in are at least used somewhere and are not just for checking your authenticity. And there is a lot of old documents yet to be digitized and this could be an easy way to have them converted into modern formats useful for preserving them. Have a look at this for example… you can see the end document produced by reCaptcha Transcription.

So help the world digitize the books… do leave your comments below so you can claim a partnership in helping this cause (:

PS : The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and John Langford of Carnegie Mellon University. At the time, they developed the first CAPTCHA to be used by Yahoo. — taken from reCaptcha.net

Do we lack time to think the above questions?? Or we are just not able to think anymore…. that’s braindrain for you.

Incomplete post to let you guys think…

Now don’t get me selfish I can do anything for my nation or for my religion too ( yes obviously I can get into a big Hotel with big firearms and kill the hell lot of little pests. Humans..? who said they are humans, there are obviously aliens living in other nations whom we have to eradicate.)

So the bigger the better??

I would rather name it ‘The Biggest Looser’. I never a gave a second thought to having a big heart (which would help me avoid the dreaded loneliness) or to work big for others (so that they remember me even when I am gone). Obviously instead of firearms, I could have used friendship and love as weapons to scare away the anger. The nations could have united not by power but by peace. Or did I pay attention to have my big ego go on a diet , so that I could have understood what was happening to the slums when I was building MY office or for that matter, what was happening to the slums when I was building my big hotel which was to be blown away anyways by some people just like me ??

Just got bored with all the stuff, so I thought y not put a little

effort in here also.

SO we missed our movies ,this weekend in the Infosys Multiplex, for the test.

The test will be from topics like Databases, Programming Fundamentals, Operating Systems

, Algorithms etc. and they have given us study material for the same.

And also we are finished with our induction classes….

Infosys now has started ILI ( i.e. the Infosys Leadership Institute )

program that they have, to develop soft skills. There we had the English edge

and other soft skills programs.

So hopefully by wednesday we will be done with all the initial stuff and

our technical training will start. The result will be out hopefully by tuesday.

Chalo, wish me all da luck. Let”’’s see whether sacrificing

the movie, for the test, really pays off .

So I asked myself today what I could do to keep it going!!

and I found the best solution I could…..

I will write an entry here every week.. because that would be a generous time gap in this busy schedule that I have.

Ofcourse now that is only an upper bound value. I will try to gather info from any source I can trace and I feel that is worth including in posts.

But let me confess guys……blogging is an easy way of expressing yourself, and life ain”t that simple.

It only takes 1 misunderstanding to break realtions that you were cherishing the most.

oho where am I going.. I sometimes have so much to speak then suddenly I realize this world ain”t a place to speak out blindly…..

coz some people are always on lookout of searching you inside-out and then find anything that could go against you.

People if you really can”t help others in something at least have mercy enough not to destruct their life…..

Atleast that way you are at peace with God.

Help yourself become a better person.
