client-side vs server-side
client-side interaction
- We will get an immediate response to our interaction (once the program code has been downloaded)
- As no information is transferred from the browser, this service is more safe and sound .
- Dependent on the user who is using a particular browser and/or plug-in on their computer
- This will have an effect on the processing speed of the user’s computer
server-side interaction
- Since the program and the related resources are not downloaded to the browser, complex processes are frequently more efficient.
- there are security fear while sending sensitive information
- does not rely on the user having specific browser or plug-in
- affected by the processing speed of the host server
How the user connects to the internet affects both forms of interaction. For client-side scripting, the connection type affects the time it takes program code to be downloaded. For server-side processing, it affects the time taken for information to be sent to the server and the response downloaded.
Microsoft begin advanced robotics platform
Microsoft released the initial extensively available sample version of its Robotics Developer Studio 2008 this week. The preview software is offered now as a free download from Microsoft’s robotics website
Microsoft Robotics Studio 2006 was downloaded over 200,000, according to the software company. Additionally, more than 50 third-party companies connected to build a joint venture with Microsoft in its robotics division.
The new application sports several enhancements, including the ability for users to record simulation tests for later playback and review. There is also a new floorplan editor and a handful of other tools which is not in the 2006 version. In addition to that Microsoft said there is enhanced functionality with LINQ support.
The robotics industry is one of Microsoft’s more recent targets, but it has promptly turn out to be a key player.
“We launched Microsoft Robotics Studio in 2006 in response to the robotics community’s request for a mature platform and toolset that would provide for stability and portability, allowing more people to participate and contribute,” said Microsoft Robotics Group general manager Tandy Trower in a statement.
At today’s Robobusiness conference in Pennsylvania, Microsoft also declares the robotics competition Robochamps, which will use Robotics Developer Studio 2008. The contest will open up on April 21.
Latest Windows operating system code-named Windows 7, to be released soon
Bill Gates the co-founder of Microsoft said that he is expecting the newest Windows operating system, code-named Windows 7, to be released in the next year.

However he comments that a successor to Vista might be released more willingly than expected.
Microsoft has said it expects to release a latest version of Windows around three years later than the introduction of Vista in January 2007. A Microsoft employee said Gates’s comments are in the development cycles that frequently release a test version of the software prior to its official introduction.
“That’ll be sometime in the next year or so that we’ll have a new version,” Gates said in reply to a query from the addressees.
Gates put down his day-to-day functions at Microsoft and contribute himself to the benevolent hard work of the Gates Foundation in June, said the company aimed, through its $6bn (£3bn) annual research and development budget, to acquire the products operating on its software to “the next level”.
He also said that new versions of Windows would facilitate, revolutionize mobile phones and run the desk of the future, which would have a touch surface display permitting the users to call up items with their hands.

Fixing Error in live-chat
We are now trying to keep our site live, monitoring the online traffic 24X7 and supporting users who have any queries. Suddenly our live chat was down since this morning.
The error that kept coming up was “[SELECT username FROM livehelp_users WHERE sessionid=’4d821a82f66f87decb92b77394b20ed6′] ( 1016 : Can’t open file: ‘livehelp_users.MYI’. (errno: 145) )”
Then when I search in google for a solution I found this help in the http://webmaster-forums.code-head.com/showthread.php?t=29
It said that the problem could be one of the following reasons:
1 – Server crash; 2 – Hardware failure; 3 – A MySQL write process was interrupted;
and our livechat_users table got corrupted.
In our case I am sure it should be a MySQL write process being interrupted. Hence to fix the table I have used the query that was given in the forum,
Initally without reading the complete forum, I used PHPMyAdmin, a little hurry. Then I got read the complete forum and have a written a simple code
-> Created a connection to our database
-> used the two lines that was suggested in the forum.
And now the query is running. Our bad luck, suddenly our internet is prettly slow. We are just waiting for this script to get over so that we can start supporting you guys with full swing.

Lotus Notes Mobile Application
My first and the most interesting project of all time, that I have ever worked on in my career is an SMS application using Lotus Notes.
The fun is not making the SMS application, but developing it in Lotus notes was really fun as we met a lot of challenges. It is now a product in UK, Switz as our clients are from there. Especially when we had to support multiple languages and error/debug log features.
Name a feature and we used it in this application. Registry Keys, Environment Variables, C++ API, SMS Rules, SMS Reminders. To top up the challenges I was a beginner.
We supported in 3 Lotus notes versions across 5 diffent operating systems. Hmmm, now I know from where I get my coding skills.
