Setting up your machine for Android Development is a major project before you set up with making your app. Problems Problems and more of problems keep coming on and on! Solution - if you are lucky you might find one! or else keep looking. Well worry not, all your prayers will be heard! Today, I sat down to set my machine up for Android Development. It so turned out that Android SDK was not able to recognize the JDK and JRE on my computer. Even after, several uninstallation and installation it din't work. Finally I found a very easy way to set up your machine for development. Single Download of 400Mb and that's it.

Windows installation over Linux

If you are running a Linux OS, and want to install a Windows OS over it then you have landed at the right place. This post guides you for successful installation of Windows over your Linux OS. First of all, if you have not yet partitioned your Hard Drive properly its a bit of problem. If you have your Linux on ext format then installing windows is not possible, Windows does not recognize the ext file system. Windows works perfectly on NTFS system. To do so follow the steps: Make a Live OS Disk of any Linux Distro ( I had used Linux Mint 13 - KDE), and boot it up with the Live OS. Once the Live OS is running, go to Applications > Disk Manager Here you will see all your hard-drives with the space allocated and un-partitioned space. Create a NTFS partition, with desired space for installation of Windows. Now you have set your machine with NTFS partition for Installation of Windows. Reboot your PC with Windows Disk/USB. The partition you created, would show up with the space

Success - Not Immediately, But Definitely

"Success is a lousy teacher, it seduces the most smart ones - that they can never fail."   - Bill Gates How does one describe success? Let's see, can it be described first of all? What one may think as success, the other one may not agree of it. Here is something, what my Father has to say about how to be "Successful"  "There is no secret of working hard. If you enjoy what you are doing you will automatically work hard. If you enjoy your work, you do not feel exhausted or bored and success gives you further boost to work more harder to maintain it. It is a chain reaction which continues"     A few words, on how I feel about Success. Success is not made in numbers, you cannot be called successful if you are having Billions of Dollars in your Bank Account. Success is a state of heart and mind. It is state when you are content with what you do. It does not mean you stop working! Its just a small mile stone achieved when you look at the larger pi

Education Blues

As I am a student right now, just in college and completed a year successfully. This same time, one year back was very troublesome for me. Applying to every possible university which has a good rank in India for engineering, and more precisely Computer Science Engineering (let's address it as CSE, as done in my college). The education system in India is very strange. If you are an Indian and reading this, you will know what I am actually talking about. And for the rest of you, there are various sets of exams conducted, known as "Entrance Exams". These entrance exams are mostly based on the multiple choice format, you are given 4 or 5 options per question and obviously one of them is right. Seems Fair? Well Let's see, for Engineering itself I can list out more than a dozen of exams which are conducted yearly. India being a big country, is divided into several small states. India is a federation of 28 states and 7 union territories(Looked up on wikipedia, and typed

Introduction?

Well, technically this is my second post on the blog. I had made another blog a year back, its url is theguywhoreadlittle.tumblr.com Anyway, I always wanted a blog on Blogger, for reasons unknown. I think maybe it looks cool. And I finally have it now. I am no great writer, leave alone "great", I am no writer. Today I feel I am nobody in this world; Its not that I am feeling lonely or anything. I sat down today evening in a great conversation with my myself and realised I have not achieved anything worth in this 19 years of life yet. I have had access to the best of best facilities, and I made no good use of anything available to me. I don't regret anything though. Its just its the thought which sometimes makes you think "WHO YOU ACTUALLY ARE? WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?" And trust me, I have not got the answers of the two questions above. I am a student of Computer Science and Engineering in the country of 2 Billion people, 2000 Languages, Birth place of many
