Deep thoughts-Swami Vivekanand

A blind man asked Swami Vivekanand: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?

He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

Do presentation without projector in a LAN

In lecture or training sessions you may not get a projector for delivering presentations. Still there is a work around to give impressive presentations.

All you need to have is a PC for one or group of students or attendees, a presentation-without-using-projectorLAN connecting all the PCs (can be wired as well as wireless network) and a special software that will take care of sharing the desktop of the presenter or the lecturer/ professor who is delivering the session to the students or the attendees.

One of the proclaimed software for sharing the desktop sessions remotely across the network is Radmin. With the help of this software you can share the presentation slides with the attendees in real-time just by installing a remote viewer of Radmin at the client side.

The presenter can control the accessibility of the presentation by the clients. You easily use mouse as laser pointer to draw the attention of audience to a specific area.  Download the Radmin Server and Viewer.

After the presentation you can even share slides a PDF to them, and remember always to convert your presentation to PDF format before sharing.

You can also try the remote desktop client for Mac from Microsoft to view and access the remote windows desktop. And, if you are sitting quite far from the audience, geographically, then you can very well use the Google Docs presentation for accomplishing the remote presentations and conferencing.

And, if you are using Microsoft Windows and having live account, you can access and sync your data across PC and internet devices using live mesh.

There is also an interesting way to control your PC with a mobile using Webex. Also, you can use the screen video and audio capturing software at the presenter's notebook or pc for keeping  video copy of the delivered presentation.

Thoughts-The Japanese spirit

THIS letter, written by Vietnamese immigrant Ha Minh Thanh working in Fukushima as a policeman to a friend in Vietnam, was posted on New America Media on March 19. It is a testimonial to the strength of the Japanese spirit, and an interesting slice of life near the epicenter of Japan's crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. It was translated by NAM editor Andrew Lam, author of "East Eats West: Writing in Two Hemispheres." Shanghai Daily condensed it.

Brother,

How are you and your family? These last few days, everything was in chaos. When I close my eyes, I see dead bodies. When I open my eyes, I also see dead bodies.

Each one of us must work 20 hours a day, yet I wish there were 48 hours in the day, so that we could continue helping and rescuing folks.

We are without water and electricity, and food rations are near zero. We barely manage to move refugees before there are new orders to move them elsewhere.

I am currently in Fukushima, about 25 kilometers away from the nuclear power plant. I have so much to tell you that if I could write it all down, it would surely turn into a novel about human relationships and behaviors during times of crisis.

People here remain calm - their sense of dignity and proper behavior are very good - so things aren't as bad as they could be. But given another week, I can't guarantee that things won't get to a point where we can no longer provide proper protection and order.

They are humans after all, and when hunger and thirst override dignity, well, they will do whatever they have to do. The government is trying to provide supplies by air, bringing in food and medicine, but it's like dropping a little salt into the ocean.

Brother, there was a really moving incident. It involves a little Japanese boy who taught an adult like me a lesson on how to behave like a human being.

Last night, I was sent to a little grammar school to help a charity organization distribute food to the refugees. It was a long line that snaked this way and that and I saw a little boy around 9 years old. He was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.

It was getting very cold and the boy was at the very end of the line. I was worried that by the time his turn came there wouldn't be any food left. So I spoke to him. He said he was at school when the earthquake happened. His father worked nearby and was driving to the school. The boy was on the third floor balcony when he saw the tsunami sweep his father's car away.

I asked him about his mother. He said his house is right by the beach and that his mother and little sister probably didn't make it. He turned his head and wiped his tears when I asked about his relatives.

The boy was shivering so I took off my police jacket and put it on him. That's when my bag of food ration fell out. I picked it up and gave it to him. "When it comes to your turn, they might run out of food. So here's my portion. I already ate. Why don't you eat it?"

The boy took my food and bowed. I thought he would eat it right away, but he didn't. He took the bag of food, went up to where the line ended and put it where all the food was waiting to be distributed.

I was shocked. I asked him why he didn't eat it and instead added it to the food pile. He answered: "Because I see a lot more people hungrier than I am. If I put it there, then they will distribute the food equally."

When I heard that I turned away so that people wouldn't see me cry.

A society that can produce a 9-year-old who understands the concept of sacrifice for the greater good must be a great society, a great people.

Well, a few lines to send you and your family my warm wishes. The hours of my shift have begun again.

Ha Minh Thanh

How to unblock sites and anonymous browsing-Use new web proxies

Favorite sites Facebook, Gmail, YouTube,or Yahoo are blocked at your school, college or at your work place, then you would rely mainly on web proxies.

proxy-server-interactions-diagram

The proxy sites not only allow you to unblock the blocked websites at your school, college and at work place, but also help you to browse anonymous on non blocked websites.

It would would be always better to use SSL based proxies. Also, use https browsing for your GMail, YouTube or Facebook if you access  them through proxies. This would prevent your GMail or Facebook account password get stolen.

SSL proxies which I had tried are,

ssl-proxy.my-addr.com

bingproxy.appspot.com

There are many sites that offer web proxy service for free. But there is a chance that even the proxy sites may get blocked if the network administrator notices your activity. Then you may have to ponder new proxies, may be once in few days!. I found one interesting site which lists some new random proxy sites. So you can rely on a new proxy site, even if existing proxy site is blocked.

flylsites.appspot.com/list

Add the list of other proxy sites in comments, if you have tried and found them useful.
