A New Life

Hi all it has been a long time since I made a post :( Now I resigned my job as a Software Engineer. The new life is exciting and I enjoy this life a lot. I wonder why I didn’t choose this way of life before ;-) But I am a bit guilty that I resigned my job without any intimation. I don’t think those guys will miss me. Lets see how my life goes :-D

Playing with registry using Python

The inbuilt library in python provides us many useful ways to access the windows registry and make changes to them. I just learnt some stuffs regarding it and thought I can share them with you all ;-) Following explains how you can perform some basic operations in registry:

  • The first thing we need to do is to import the library using the following command:

import _winreg as reg

  • Next step will be to open the key to which you need to make the changes.

key = reg.OpenKey(reg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,”SOFTWARE\x\y\z”,0,reg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS)

  • Now to get the values use the following command:

reg.EnumValue(key, index)

  • Now to create a string value or modify a exsisting one:

reg.SetValueEx(key,’name’),0,1,value)

That's all for now. Hope this post helped you :-) 

Is this life????

I started to get bored of my day to day activities. Everyday I am forced to meet stupid people just for a simple reason money :( . This machine life is making me get irritated. No time to spend with dear ones and not even do my other personal works. Office office office is this how I should live? :( I just started to think of a better way to make my life a happy and loving one. But I wonder how I can do it :)

Blog Adda – The most annoying way of verification

Many of you may wonder what the last post is about and why I wrote it… This is how a blog managing service “Blog Adda” verifies the blog. Their whole idea of helping the bloggers is great. But isn’t this way of verification annoying? They will verify my blog only if I post something about them??? I think this is a very bad idea. Hope those guys will find a better way of verification soon… ;)

Song Bird – The perfect player for music lovers

I just downloaded song bird. This is a open source media player. Its not just a player, it can even browse internet. It lets you to search a song and download it so easily. It also has a cool add on that automatically downloads lyrics for the song you play. Isn’t that cool :) If you love music then you’ll really enjoy using this ;)

MBR Recovery

I recently tried to install Ubuntu in my external hard disk using my laptop. The installation was successful but the gurb (a boot manager) got installed in my laptop hard disk’s MBR. So I was not able to boot my laptop without external hard disk :( .
Then I found something called super grub disk. If you ever have problem with MBR just download it  and write it to a cd. Boot from the CD and follow the instructions. Using it you can fix MBR or configure it. Hope this will be useful :)

So go check it out. Hope you’ll enjoy them ;-)

NetBeans IDE

I just checked the NetBeans IDE for python. Its really cool. This one supports syntax highlighting, auto-complete, and also checks for syntax errors for most languages. Its convenient than most other IDE’s that will be specific for a particular language. The most exciting thing is that it is a open source software :) . Check out the links below for the latest release of NetBeans:

Uniphore- A good place to learn

I am now working in Uniphore, Chennai. Its a start-up company in the field of telecommunication. We are a team of 10 people. I think start-up companies are the best places where you learn things. They don’t waste time in name of training. Self learning is the only choice you have. So things are going interesting here :-) I am sure one day these guys will be one of the top companies and i’ll be one among them :-)
