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

(BTW this video is especially dedicated to my friend who is KittyKaif’s die hard fan!! Guess what… in his madness he has also kept his name KK… won’t be mentioning his complete name though!!)

…..MPB

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.

Moreover, it’s going to be our first step in Professional world. By ours
I mean myself alongwith my friends, our college group that is.
So, all the shoppings been done, items packed, booked flight tickets etc.

Folks, lets see what happens next….
Hopefully will be writing my next blog in Mysore.

Till then
C ya guys.

Then the Orkut……. Orkut have this scrap feature I really like. Get in touch and talk to other people…just leave a scrap and they will reply you. Prettty much like the voicemail on Telephone I’d say..but isn’t that what already existed on various IMs….but that’s the beauty of social networking sites.
You can not only talk, but search through the users that are present… search the content in their profiles and check whether they really are your old lost friends. and oops even if they aren’t the ones ….. make new ones in the processs..

So this was what I took up….. create our own social networking website—- ROOBAROO —- with not some dynamic out of world features.. but just test our capabilities if we could actually create one!!

So it was decided, we were making a social networking website as our ___Minor Project___ for college. Me and my team partners Rahul and Anupam started off with some designs on how the site must look in the first case…. Then we added the sections that I would say as features… The Create your Profile, Edit it, Scrap feature, Testimonials, Recieve/Send Frnd Rqsts… well that pretty much sums up the functionality that we were looking for.

After this started the process which many find very boring (fingers crossed) programming (fingers crossed).. Hey but not us!! (After all we would have lost marks had we done so … So the databases, the HTML markup, the CSS… yep we were learning all of these for one single project. So by the time our application had started taking shape “the SQLCommand.ExecuteReader was all over us”.

So after around a period of 2-3 months which included our 9-5 classes at college + some desi masti which we did… our project had finally taken shape and was working perfectly after all the bugs had been removed, constraints added, cross browser testing done and visually attractive and easy layout made.

Now it was time for making it online…Our team guide had repeatedly asked us to this and this was really a great idea from him. So since as usual we were low on money we searched for some free website that could provide us some temporary .Net server to make our website online… and thanks to —vwdhosting.net— we were able to publish the website well in time before our final presentation of the Project was held.

ahhhhh A —–they lived happily ever after—- end to the story!!

Keep Trying,
Prashant!!
