Eyes but a flood of tears
Her prize to her bosom
Her head in bow

Aspire, the product that I developed over the last few years while I was working with java, servlets, jsp and XML, is being used on some SBIR projects involving JetSpeed and a few other open source tools. I have got a call the other day indicating that one of the forms is not accepting Vietnamese input. They are getting invalid characters placed into the MySQL database. The usage is pretty straight-forward. The user will see a form in a browser and will proceed to type Vietnamese (copy/paste perhaps from a Vietnamese app). This form will then be submitted to the server. The server is expected to parse the form input into parameters. Mahaveer suggested that perhaps I should be using some kind of character encoding to retrieve the parameters.

when it comes to complicated things such as setting digital watches, programming vcrs, ordering a sub for your spouse (Who always has a very discriminating taste), ordering at a local McDonalds drive through, self checkouts at Home Depot, and ofcourse software, I am a minimalist. If something is not hampering my imagination and productivity I usually don't upgrade. To exaggerate and make a point, I would be quite happy with windows 95, Tomcat 1.x, Frontpage, Jbuilder 3 for developing server side java applications that run in any container while David prods me all the time to upgrade to XP and how wonderful it is. (you can tell I am relegated to the auto pilot windows world). Anyway having made the point I still compile Aspire with servlets 2.1 although the current release may be at 2.4. Not that I don't like the new stuff in this particular instance but I want to be as backward compatible as possible as long as it is not crippling my style :-). For the curious I did upgrade to XP because I needed a better photo printing software.

Any way back to the encoding issue. I don't remember seeing any encoding issues while trying to read form submission parameters before. I remember porting one of our web sites to Japanese with out any problem last year. Based on that assumption I have advised Mahaveer that it should not be a problem and servlets probably will figure out the necessary details to retrieve the parameters. Ofcourse I am proven wrong.

My half-suspect-knowledge translation

Anger unknown and enemines none exist to this elevated heart. Take my caution Raja, Raja, that all the oceans should swell and rage and become one should he embark on fury. Take no respite, my King, in the loyal and invincible Karna being on your side, as even 10,000 of Karnas in an array shall be deeply hurt and decimated in his wake. So I beseech you, the mighty one, trust, heed my concerned and earnest utterances and pave the way for truce.

Great art begets Great Nations

More documents like this are at:  05.10-Letters To My Daughter

17-May-04

Dialing through the radio today I heard a passing remark that "Great nations deserve great art". The composition was compelling but I prefered to rearrange the order of the sentence and make a bold prediction that perhaps "Great art begets Great Nations".

Art is the candle. Art is the potential that the drifting masses hang on to in the storm of time and in the time of change. At times of despair it is the hope.

Art is religion for some. Art is song for some. Art is engineering for some. In all cases it is an act of love and the seed of action.

Where it is not held in chains humanity should prosper and where it is a medieval darkness should descend.

Mighty kings may have shaped the dominions in their rein, but it is Shelly that should be known in the next nation.

Rulers of various hues may have empires over the Hindukhush but it might be the Gita that is in the heart of the citizen, the scientist, perhaps the next ruler

She first used the pseudonym George Eliott in a serial for Blackwood's Magazine in 1857 titled The Scenes of Clerical Life. She next produced the great novel Adam Bele (1859),then The Mill on the Floss (1860) and Silas Marner ( 1861).

Later novels Romola (1862-3), Felix Holt (1866) and Middlemarch (1871-2) well display her breadth of knowledge.

7-Apr-04

There are six principle steps to the scientific method.  They are listed below.
1.	Define the problem
2.	Identify critical characteristics and metrics.
3.	Analysis
4.	Generate a solution and potentially more than one.
5.	Pick the best solution
6.	Sensitivity Analysis - check how good my solution is.

These six steps are important to understand and document during any new or experimental concept.

Therefore, most employers make SEP contributions after the end of the calendar year, the model SEP's required plan year. This coincides with many employers' tax years. SEP rules allow employer contributions made by the due date of an employer's tax return (plus extensions) to be considered made at the end of the calendar plan year.

The tax return due date is April 15 for unincorporated calendar year businesses, with extensions available to August 15 automatically and as late as October 15 with IRS approval. For calendar-year corporations and partnerships, this due date is March 15, with an automatic extension available to September 15.

Paul as you can see from the web log I am quite active. :->)

"Alarulu kuriyaga aadenadi" by Annamayya

Alarulu kuriyaga aadenadi
alakala kulukula Alamelmanga..
Araviri sobagula ativalu mecchaga
ara tera maruguna aadenade

Wow. Just too beautiful. Like a cascade of words but falling to the perfect tune. No wonder he is a poet and a singer. Both I presume might be pre-requisites for such form.

This shear beauty reminds me of another profound observation by Annamayya

"Chedanika brathikinche siddha mantrama.."

I am sure this line can mean different things to different audience, but to me this observation seem to say that

"Beautiful song or art is the perfect antidote for the sins of the mind.."
