Proximity info sharing

If I tell the train/bus conductor that I need to get down at a specific stop, can the conductor wake me and ensure that I get down at the right place.

Can we replace the 'conductor' in the above example by a smart device using bluetooth technology that can talk to my cell phone with bluetooth.

Update: Feb 21, 2011
Using Android aGPS, we currently have this available. yourehere

C printf debug

printf("__LINE__=%d __FILE__=%s\n", __LINE__, __FILE__);

Standard Predefined Macros

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.2.3/cpp/Standard-Predefined-Macros.html
__FILE__
This macro expands to the name of the current input file, in the form of a C string constant. This is the path by which the preprocessor opened the file, not the short name specified in #include or as the input file name argument. For example, "/usr/local/include/myheader.h" is a possible expansion of this macro.
__LINE__
This macro expands to the current input line number, in the form of a decimal integer constant. While we call it a predefined macro, it's a pretty strange macro, since its "definition" changes with each new line of source code.

__FILE__ and __LINE__ are useful in generating an error message to report an inconsistency detected by the program; the message can state the source line at which the inconsistency was detected. For example,

     fprintf (stderr, "Internal error: "
"negative string length "
"%d at %s, line %d.",
length, __FILE__, __LINE__);

selenium core : Technologies used

cssQuery - http://dean.edwards.name/
cssQuery() is a powerful cross-browser JavaScript function that enables querying of a DOM document using CSS selectors. All CSS1 and CSS2 selectors are allowed plus quite a few CSS3 selectors.

scriptaculous - http://script.aculo.us/
script.aculo.us provides you with easy-to-use, cross-browser user interface JavaScript libraries to make your web sites and web applications fly.
What's inside? animation framework, drag and drop, Ajax controls
DOM utilities, and unit testing. It's an add-on to the fantastic Prototype framework.

xpath - http://code.google.com/p/ajaxslt/

xpath is part of ajaxslt: Pure javascript implementation of XSLT and XPath

AJAXSLT is an implementation of XSLT in JavaScript. Because XSLT uses XPath, it is also an implementation of XPath that can be used independently of XSLT. This implementation has the advantange that it makes XSLT uniformly available on more browsers than natively provide it, and that it can be extended to yet more browsers if necessary.

AJAXSLT is interesting for developers who strive aggressively for cross browser compatibility of their advanced web applications.

This implementation of XSLT operates at the DOM level on its input documents. It internally uses a DOM implementation to create the output document, but usually returns the output document as text stream. The DOM to construct the output document can be supplied by the application, or else an internal minimal DOM implementation is used. This DOM comes with a minimal XML parser that can be used to generate a suitable DOM representation of the input documents if they are present as text.

jsunit - http://www.jsunit.net/

JsUnit is a Unit Testing framework for client-side (in-browser) JavaScript. It is essentially a port of JUnit to JavaScript. Also included is a platform for automating the execution of tests on multiple browsers and multiple machines running different OSs.

strands - http://www.xucia.com/strands-doc/overview.html

Strands adds coroutine and cooperative threading support to the JavaScript language that enables blocking capabilities for asynchronous event callbacks. This makes asynchronous code refreshingly readable and comprehensible.

Dojo toolkit - http://dojotoolkit.org/

The Dojo Toolkit is an open source modular JavaScript library (or more specifically JavaScript toolkit) designed to ease the rapid development of cross platform, JavaScript/Ajax based applications and web sites.

Prototype: http://www.prototypejs.org/

http://prototype.conio.net/ ??

Prototype is a JavaScript Framework that aims to ease development of dynamic web applications.

Buy Home

Couple of data pointers while buying home.
  1. Ultimately after purchasing home, will you, your spouce and family members be HAPPY. Have this as the key guidance during the entire purchase process.
  2. I wouldn't recommend not even putting a 5% down payment.
  3. Buying agent and selling agent take 3% each. So, asking for 94% of the asking/listing price is not irrelevant. - Or if this property is not your dream home, you SHOULD ask for less than 94% of the asking price.
  4. Try to by pass the agents - for example, in new homes, try to deal with the seller directly.
  5. Loans (First Mortgage and second Home Equity Line of Credit) are again products and YOU ARE the customer. So, don't hesitate to look for bargain and negotiations.
  6. Don't ever buy more than your means. It is no win scenario gamble - especially if this is your first home where you plan on living.
  7. Buying home on the last few days of making offer / contract is purely 'mind game'. Numbers are just numbers. Stay focused on the final target and see what makes you HAPPY.
  8. Buying home is like buying a stock. It goes up and down. Some one thinks they want to sfel because there are other uses for that money - while the buyer thinks his money will do better in this stock.
  9. When you are in the market, the prices are set also by the personal feelings of the buyers/sellers currently in the market. If you feel better about venturing, go for it. If not, stay back.
  10. Make sure the reccuring income is relatively stable - not much change/impact negatively.
  11. Have some reserve on purchase of home. You might need incidental expenses.

synergy software - multi computer

Do you have multiple computer and you are changing keyboard/mouse to view them? Here is the relief from Open Source software Synergy Synergy works on cross platform.

In one of my earlier projects, we have a developer write a program for Windows and named it 'pauli' (girl friend's name?). I recall the developer telling that this causes security threat - not sure if this is still existing in Synergy.

Hey, cross platform? Not a problem!! I am using this program on windows and Mac OS and it works well. From the tar ball, Linux seems to be supported as well.

testing interview questions

How do you test an office stapler!!
How do you debug a broken stapler!!

Bring a stapler to the in-person interview and have the candidate provide test cases. No one approach/answer is correct. Look for thought process. First make sure the candidate understands an office stapler and it's general features (or else it might not be productive discussion).
