Xavier Institute of Social Service

Sorry for the delay folks... I joined Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS), Ranchi as Reader in their Department of Marketing and Finance from 1st of August 2006. First Impressions about Ranchi - Difficult to say, it feels like a small town thrust into the spotlight since Jahrkhand became a state. But yes the weather is good and distances are small - compared to Kolkata. So my next blogs would be from Ranchi.

Using Abyss Personal Web Server for Classroom

L et me first explain the background. I am working as Reader at Xavier Institute of Social Service, Ranchi. Ranchi is the capital of Jharkhand - a state in country of India. At XISS, I teach marketing and research related subjects in three different departments - Information Management (IM), Marketing Management (MM) and Financial Management (FM). Each department has different requirement of teaching and from time to time i need to give my students handout and notes. XISS is served with a 2 GB data pipe taken from the Internet Service Provider - BSNL. The 2 GB data pipe feeds into a single server from where it is distributed to the faculty and students using Wireless Area Network. Now, in the city of Ranchi, the ISP services are more down than up, and as such using the internet for distributing the notes and softwares via the internet was a major pain. I tried uploading the notes to various file sharing sites - but the result was the same. With the ISP being down most of the times the ...

F117 Aircraft Identification Matrix

Image
Whew! After almost 4 years of relentless searching on the Internet and other places, I finally found the piece of image which is worth its weight in Gold. Well maybe not for everyone - but for us the die-hard Microprose Flight Sim Fans. Have been flying their Sims  of F19 Stealth Fighter since about 1992-93 and have had the F117 since about 1996 but I lost their manuals etc. It is a different matter that these games are now so old that you need DOS Emulator to play properly - but what the heck. They are the best and will remain the best to me. Here is the Aircraft Identification Matrix Sheet. Hope it helps some of you to get back to the old game

Back on Blog

2009 to 2016 - about 6 years of being away from blogging I decided to revive my blog. The big question I hope to answer is Why? Why after all those years did I choose to revive my blog. The answer is simple. Something happened on the way - a thing called Facebook Facebook ! I can see the incredulous look on your face. How can Facebook be the reason for getting back on blog? I don't know if you remember or not - in the earlier days, the wall of your Facebook page used to be pretty neat and clean. You would get information about your family and friends and people who matter. It was fun and the addiction went way way deep. Then suddenly - as your friends list grew - you saw your wall changing shape. Someone climbed down a tree - it is a Facebook post. Someone ate a chewing gum - it is Facebook post. And suddenly your entire wall was awash with Tom, Dick's or Harry's post except your own. Add to it the growth of smart-phones and you had the perfect recipe for a big load of...
