Parker Ranch Trail links to Fremont Older Open Space. There is a real vertical streach that's challenging. Also, at prospect road, when you take the back roads, you see the back yard of rich homes and they are some times pretty. http://www.saratoga.ca.us/pdf/trails/parker%20ranch%20trail.pdf
Reached 1/4 the way on July 15th, 2006.
Looks like next to the rail road, there might be a trail that could be really taking all the way. Need to check this out some day.

bday note
Over the past 16 years you have extended selfless love and affection to us as parents and to friends. Thank you.
Your passion has been in the areas of painting (not drawing), teaching (sharing of knowledge and skills), art reproduction (cartoons / latch hook / stuffed toys) and dance (Stage act and story telling - with/without music).
You have expressed your interest in professions such as 1) astronaut 2) marine biologist 3) school teacher 4) animator (story teller – in different media?).
You liked to swim (love water), snow (solid water!) & sleep in a little bunk bed on a snowy place in a small cabin house.
You loved Swiss - a small tucked away town. You chose Swiss for the snow and also for its peace loving policy - non participation in wars for decades.
You have a nice balance of artist and analytic skills (Math/programming).
As for educators, you liked your English Teacher Richards, your 7th grade Math teacher and your dance teacher Suganda.
Last few words at this juncture in your life - be yourself (not easy always), be happy and try to bring happiness in to as many as you can.

Bill Gates Resigns
1. Bill gates has announced that he would be transitioning his role as Chief Architect of Microsoft.
Ray Ozzie would take on Chief Software Architect.
Here is a first cut
1. Bill G is working hard every day every hour for Microsoft. His rate of return for his direct contribution into Microsoft has decreased over the past few years. So, BillG is better off if he don't have to work as hard for the small returns he gets as Microsoft employee. (Well different unconventional perspective). In the present arrangement, he still will be chairman of the Board of directors and take on Advisory role. In his remarks he said "I see myself always being the largest shareholder of Microsoft. I'm proud of that" http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/speeches/2006/06-15transition.asp BillG helping Microsoft in Chairman/Advisor would be to preserve his wealth and also, he can get product his dreams come true (not a thing that an average employee with smaller brain can think off).
2. At the current stage in his life and his current wealth, BillG is going for the next best bet to make the most impact - can't blame him for this smart guy. As philanthropist, he can make a long lasting impact on human kind - so that he is remembered 200 years from he is gone. These are some of the thought process of wealthiest people (read as Kings) in the world - who build Taj Mahal besides other big things.
3. From the article pointed above, Bill seems to have planned this in 2004 with his wife Melinda. Bill has also shared it with the CEO - Steve Blamer. Don't know if it is timing - Microsoft paid out one time dividend - a substantive sum - much more than impact of IRS and the US government’s tax returns program that was going on at that time. Guess, who profited the most - BillG who got a huge dividend of USD 3B, that he transferred in to his foundation (read his new company). Now comes question to SEC (Securities and Excahnges Commission).... If an ‘employee’ is planning on resigning - he siphons out a large sum from the company in to his new company (non-profit organization) - is it not looking more like Enron's deal – even though it is as dividend? Remember BillG is ultra smart - unbelievably smart. He is ruthless in business - will do any thing to get what he wants... Well, I wish some one spots this direction of thinking and do what's in best interest to prevent such rich folks from making decisions to pocket big money right before quieting the company...
4. All this said, I still like BillG as a philanthropist and as one of the smartest guy in my time and wish him well.
---
Adding to the story is Waren Buffet donates his money to Bill after Bill joins Waren's company in the board. Also, the donation is conditional upon Bill and Milinda being healthy and actively working on the foundation. Looks like a big time scandle to evade tax at the expense of all other tax payers. Also, at the same time accomplish what these individual wants to accomplish (in the name of charity).

Linux package managers
This comes under Package Management System
Fedora uses RPM (RPM Package Manager)
yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) on Fedora Core installs rpm
example:
yum install vsftpd
installs the ftp server daemon
Debian uses apt (Advanced Packaging Tool) against .deb packages.
Example
apt-get install mozilla
Fedora uses RPM (RPM Package Manager)
yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) on Fedora Core installs rpm
example:
yum install vsftpd
installs the ftp server daemon
Debian uses apt (Advanced Packaging Tool) against .deb packages.
Example
apt-get install mozilla
License Browse/Edit/Selector
We got lots of Licenses in open and closed source projects. We now have version numbers and also multiple licenses...
Example
Clickwrap License
Licence-free software
Shrink Wrap EULA
Creative Commons
Open Source
Apache
Mozilla
BSD
I want to know what is different - so that I can adopt. Basically I want to slice and dices these License words and categorize them You can also view this as a stock market where you want to slice and dice the information you receive and make a determination on what you want to do with your money against the companies you are interested in.

Open source LiveCD generator
Linux Distributions and LiveCDs are very powerful useful way to reach the end users/consumers.
Major Players in Distros
Fedora Core
Debian
LiveCD
Knoppix based on Debian
It would be nice if we can have a kiosk where you can go and ask for an assortment of open source programs and they cut a cd for free or minimal charge.
For example here are the combinations I would be interested
1. Have a really really light system - just kernel
2. Have a system for developer (tool chains, IDE)
3. Server config
4. Video Editing
5. Music editing (lilyPond)
6. Engineering application
7. Games
8. Routers
Basically, as a customer, I want to walk up to the booth, click (touch screen would be cool) select all (while the size bar shows me where I am - say burn... Go over to the counter - pay and get the CD/DVD with what ever professional label/disk jacket.
Give a mechanism to select from different tree type categories.
Give option to select individual components by name
Give option to select a specific older version - if that's what the user wants
Give option to read about the package as needed
Can we compare this with today's Wallgreen's print your photos from memory chip?
Give option to get some contents like Images, Music, Movie, Text, Docs...
Provide not just GPL - allow other licenses
May be we can loop commercial non-open software to giving their software like this as well - what the heck - they want money - don't they?

LilyPond - for Music notation
GNU LilyPond is a free software program for engraving sheet music. It uses a simple ASCII notation for music, which is then compiled into PDF (via PostScript) or into SVG. LilyPond can also automatically generate MIDI files from music specified in the LilyPond format.
https://github.com/0xfe/vexflow is another open source - on Javascript

Linux on Palm Z22 - not much luck so far
I bought a Palm Z22 device from Fry's for 2 primary reasons.
1. Use it as low cost PIM
2. Try out Embedded Linux, if possible
Reason why Palm Z22
1. It is inexpensive - $99 (+tax)
2. It is light weight
3. I had Plam IIIx for more than 4 years and it generally serves the PIM part well
4. Size fits into my pant pocket
I realized couple of new things while investigating to install Linux and was wondering if you want to help me in completing this part.
1. Palm Z22 is new device (Oct 15, 2005) - not much details in open source community yet
2. Pure Open Source Linux is not commonly/widely available - in a easily canned form (like what you get for PC)
3. Many sites Linux point me to Palm III series, Tungsten or Palm Live not to any of the Zire
This makes me to venture into giving it a shot my self - instead of having to wait for it to be already available in binary format. Would you be interested in helping in your spare time (as hobby)?

Embedded Linux
JTAG is normally used to flash the ROM in embedded systems. Jtag tools are dongle like stuff connected to parallel port of PC that basically serially sends the bios. The first thing to be loaded is the bios. One example is blob. Blob, the boot loader. Bios inturn loads the Kernel. Example Kernal Image is 'zImage'.
jFalsh (alt) is a software that uses PC Parallel port for jtag communication with embedded systems.
Blob - one of the version from UK site is ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/people/xscale/lubbock/blob/
busybox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable.
skyeye http://gro.clinux.org/projects/skyeye/ project seems to emulate/simulate ARM. Also give a way to use uClinux. Cygwin version requires TCL & X Windows to run.
ARM Tool Chain - cross compiler for Cygwin: http://www.gnuarm.com/

Eclipse IDE
Eclipse IDE seems to have taken the same or simillar approch the Turbo C and Microsoft Visual Studio has taken. Like make the IDE and rig up the compiles and other tools behind it (Reuse code and user experiance - hence user loyalty).
Eclipse comes with integrated Java development in it. Tried C/C++ Development Tools download - yet to get it to work on my Cygwin (gcc) version. I would like to get my arm cross comiler on it so that I get a ARM IDE through open source.

resume tip
I notice that you have higher marks in 12th & MS as compared to 10th & BCA. One suggestion might be to remove the mark from every where - or - just keep 12th and MS degree in your resume with their marks - remove 10th & BCA.
Do you want to move Java from Internet Applications to Languages line? If you really meant the java used in web pages, may be you might want to put JavaScript instead.
Consider expanding your projects - reducing or realigning in single line the items like: address on top, hallmarks, hobbies.
I am afraid you are giving too much of personal information. If possible remove every thing - except the languages known - that you an move it up.
Try to keep it just one page resume.
You normally don't have to declare and sign at the bottom - in the IT industry.
Consider rearranging the top name and address some thing like a letter head.

Comparison shopping
Taking On The Comparison Shopping Gorillas
Tom Taulli, 09.28.05, 12:00 PM ET
LOS ANGELES - Online comparison shopping has undergone several waves of consolidation. The first wave was from 1998 to 2001, when such companies as Junglee, C2B, Liquid Market, Cadabra and MySimon sold out.
In the past year, we've seen another wave, with targets such as PriceRunner, LowerMyBills.com, Kelkoo, Shopzilla, Shopping.com. Because of this, big gorillas--like Yahoo! (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people ) and eBay (nasdaq: EBAY - news - people )--are now in the shopping comparison game.
Too late for new entrants? Definitely not. Actually, there are next-gen comparison shopping sites hitting the Net.
One example is MyRatePlan.com, which focuses primarily on comparison shopping for cell phones. Before starting the business, Allan Keiter did pricing work for UPS (nyse: UPS - news - people ), Continental Airlines (nyse: CAL - news - people ), and BellSouth Cellular (which is now part of Cingular). "During my time at Continental," said Keiter, "the Web came into vogue as a way to compare airfares, purchase travel and, from the airline's perspective, take distribution costs out of the system. Then, while at BellSouth, it dawned on me that buying wireless wasn't really fundamentally different from buying an airfare, because it would eventually become a commodity mostly shopped on price, and therefore the industry would follow the same general distribution path."
He tried to convince BellSouth Cellular to go online--but was rebuffed. Getting weary of big company bureaucracy, Keiter developed his own system, using more than 100 calculations on cellular rate plans.
No doubt, Keiter realizes the competition in comparison shopping is fierce and that, to thrive, he needs a compelling value proposition. What sets him apart? "Our site attempts to build comparisons around the way people shop for a service. This is different from other shopping comparison sites, which uses a set shopping platform that is applied across everything from can openers to laptops to women's dresses," he says.
With wireless, there are two components: a product (the phone) and service (the rate plan). Simply put, this just does not really fit the model of most shopping comparison sites. "Our site is set up so that people can start with either of these components and create a customized solution unique to their usage or needs," said Keiter. "As a result, we have a fairly unique niche that the other shopping sites really don't compete directly with."
Another online comparison shopping site, FatLens, also believes it has its own unique edge. Basically, the company initially targeted a category that was not part of shopping comparison; that is, event tickets. "This is a very difficult category," said Siva Kumar, the co-founder of FatLens. "For instance, inventory and prices change frequently. We thought that if we could build something that would be effective for event tickets, we could use our technology for other complex categories."
Unlike a typical shopping comparison site--which gets its content from merchants-- FatLens has another approach: it uses technology to crawl and spider the Web to index e-tailers. Think of it as Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) meets comparison shopping.
Example: Suppose you search for "Motorola (nyse: MOT - news - people ) Bluetooth Headset." Well, you will not get listings from other manufacturers. What's more, the results are ordered by the Consumer Merchant Preference (CMP) ranking, which prioritizes results using consumers' aggregate purchasing and search preferences (this is similar to how PageRank works with the Google search engine). This means that the first results shown are exactly what all other consumers found as the most important for that specific search in that category.
The FatLens search engine interface is optimized for shopping search. The site's Wish List feature enables shoppers to save product search results. Users can then come back at a later time to look at items of interest, or easily compare multiple items from different searches. And, just like other search engines, FatLens does not include extraneous capabilities such as merchant grading systems, user reviews or feature comparisons.
Another interesting player in the space is Smarter.com. Some of the cool features include: online coupons and cash-back rewards. In fact, there is an SMS (Short Messaging Service) service that will automatically send you alerts on your cell phone.
Keep in mind that Smarter.com raised no outside capital. To build its operations, the company set up operations--with 120 employees--in China. "We get more scale for our dollar by going overseas," said Harry Tsao, the co-founder of Smarter.com. "It also means we have more money to put into marketing."
Tsao estimates that the U.S. market for comparison shopping is roughly $500 million, which is only about 10% of the paid search marketplace. Furthermore, he thinks global markets are highly underserved. "We believe there is a lot of room for growth internationally and here in the U.S.," said Tsao. "I also believe innovation will continue, but will be driven by newer players. Years ago, when C/Net bought MySimon.com, what innovation did we see come after that?"
