Windows 10 in Nokia Lumia 1520


My Nokia Lumia 1520 now has Windows 10. I downloaded the Windows insider App yesterday and the rest was history. Now my phone has Windows 10. If you look carefully you will see the new Edge browser and Groove music which are a part of Windows 10.
The touchdevelop is also working from the Edge browser. Earlier Internet Explorer in Windows 8.1 could not. Hence the second picture.
There are a few ways to run Touchdevelop Apps. The above method is as a Web App. Then you can make a full fledged app too. This feature has been removed from Windows App Studio.
I need to make the phone tiles better. There is no need for two mail apps in Windows 10 for example. These things I shall streamline and post a screenshot of the Windows phone if possible.


I have removed extra mail app. Included g+ app in it's place. All music and video files are in
place. Playlists intact. The second screenshot is the new index interface. It is indeed Windows 10!!


You can see Nokia Mix Radio in place of Groove Music. Also I have removed flipkart ebooks tile and put films and TV tile in its place. Films and TV app will help me in music directors videos. I have Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Kalyanji Anandji, R D Burman, S D Burman, Rajesh Roshan, Shankar Jaikishan, O P Nayyar and Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar videos all downloaded from Mobile WAP sites.
Also I have put Lock Screen snapshot. Windows 8.1 developed store app are working. Also one Windows 8.1 app which is not in store but in phone is not working. But another Windows 8.1 app which is not in store but in phone is working. So a dilemma here. A simple Hub App with texts is working.

Old Wine and a New Bottle or More Kindle Books


Github essentials is the new book. Engineering mathematics, control system engineering and basic electronic devices are books on learned concepts. During my engineering, these three were my only weak areas. Engineering mathematics due to its vastness. Control Systems engineering due to non visualization of practical utility. Electronic devices due to complexity. This is how I feel now. In those times I remember Electronics being tough. Very interesting. But could not cope with this subject. But I realized the importance of its graph. This graph business helped me in power electronics. Engineering mathematics was interesting but field theory mathematics was above head.
Control systems were about memorizing. Mechanical engineering subjects were automobile principles and their practicality. And strength of materials and other issues. This is how I feel now about mechanical subjects. Electrical engineering subjects had winding diagrams, Motor and generator problems and graphs and electrical faults in transmission. Power electronics was interesting.
I became an engineer with 78%. No backlogs. All subjects cleared in one attempt.
In these books, I feel Leonardo da Vinci is the greatest genius. Amazing that so much can be written on drawing and painting. Lenn Redman of Caricatures is another great. I am finding it difficult to keep up with other authors because their vision is different.

Recent Books


I have bought two new Kindle books. One on Touchdevelop and other on Windows 10.
The above are the 18 Kindle books that I have.
I realized that even objects can be in cloud. Earlier I thought only documents. Correct me, Bangalore IT guys. Cloud is Azure, g+ or facebook. Is it not? And GitHub is Hub of objects. And Hadoop takes one into a group like GitHub.
The Steelbriefings blog is taking my time. And I feel it is a viable solution for our group in SAIL.
These are the thoughts in my mind right now. And correct me if you can.

Anticipated Future in Bodybuilding

Quick and complete dumbbells routine for the rest of my life. A possible 4 feet barbell purchase with weights that can be added. For increasing strength.
What comes in between?
My mind. An excuse that is 30 % strong but strong enough to deter me in continuing exercising.
What about food plans?
Regularity in food is working. Only fine tuning required here.
How much motivating is exercising?
Exercising is great. And now I can stand up and offer a seat to a more deserving traveler in daily metro. Thanks to strong legs.
Any new techniques or tips to share?
No. To follow is what I intend to.
Who are the persons whom you advice for exercising?
There are no whos. There is only how much. How much you want to do exercising.
Is it advisable for vegans to do bodybuilding weights routine?
Frankly no. But then interest is one issue. Then the physique of the vegan. Most importantly, the promise to be mild. So a vegan may exercise.
What about running?
Running is about your weakness. The weakest in you. Whether the lungs, the legs or your metabolic capability. Or all. Or some.
Have you realized yourself through bodybuilding?
I do not know whether it is realization or not. But while doing quick and complete dumbbells routine, I felt the urge to do more over my rapid breathing i.e panting. Is this realization?
What do you think it was?
I think it means willingness to improve breathing ability. Nothing more.
Anything else?
I plan to listen to walk-man while doing dumbbells. Let me observe and I shall blog if something important crops up.

Calculate XML - An idea whose time has come

What is the idea all about?
Instead of representing information vertically down, it represents information horizontally. The zero may be treated in a mathematical sense. It is most appropriate for rational applications. The concept is obviously right considering the number scale system.
Numbers by themselves have no meaning to them. So these may be treated as useful for practical applications.
However there may be confusion. These can be handled with limited group guessing software technologies.
Big financial applications need many such individual systems. They may be combined meaningfully as a function of big time.
How do you like this idea?

New Acer Tablet with Keyboard


I have bought an Acer Tablet with keyboard and Windows 10 for Rs.16,000 (US $ 250), on the occasion of Diwali.
What was the need ? I wanted a Windows 8 tablet. This thought was always inside me.  Now with Windows 10 in the market I decided to make a move and buy this device.
I want to use this device as a Web Services tab. I want to view my blogs as an app. Can I make a post and make comments in a post from an App? I need to check this out. Also I would want to store videos of Kishore Kumar interview, Mohammad Rafi interview, Pyarelal interview videos in this tablet. Also videos of important songs.
I like this device very much. Windows 10 in a touch tablet is a dream. And this dream has been fulfilled.

It makes sense

I have upgraded my office workstation with Windows 10. I earlier had Windows 8.1. I knew that Windows 10 is similar to Windows 8 in many ways. So I upgraded. Here is the screenshot of my workstation:-
I was comfortable working with Windows 8. So I find working with Windows 10 not so different.
In our office we have vision for systems and hardware. We in the office feel that software should only be synchronous with the systems and hardware. But Windows 10 being for almost a mobile device does not easily fit into our vision at office.
But one needs to be in time with technology and this is the reason why Windows 8 was allotted in the first place. And now it is continuing for Windows 10.
All of the Oracle applications do not work in these machines. And also the earlier Visual Studios. But I persisted with Windows 8 so that our company does not loose touch with the latest the world offers.
I shall soon be upgrading my home laptop to Windows 10 as the security is claimed to be higher.
