An open source OS in Tamil

 

                      UBUNTU an open source operating system launched in 2004 & used by many people who hate the system of using licenced software because of its very high cost and their stupid conditions (used in our college) now released its tamil version.

                       Two schools in Malaysia teach computer to their 500 students by Tamil UBUNTU OS.

 Log in

http://ubuntu-tam.org/vaasal/request-ubuntu-cd

and you can get free Tamil ubuntu cd.

Hence it is an open source OS in which any one has the right to develope the ubuntu.

The main 2 requirements are

1.You have to know Tamil.

2.Passion with the developement of ubuntu.

So many people are working together to develope Tamil ubuntu along with some organisations such as Chennai GNU/LINUX Group,NRCFOSS etc.

You may improve it to any extent without the permission of any one.

http://wubi-installer.org

Note:

1. If your software for windows is not working in ubuntu install WINE which is available at www.winehq.org ( but it is not 100% reliable)

2. Now Dell Laptops are marketed with ubuntu OS & even some mobile companies are going to use ubuntu.

Move the world with your Mindsets

 

The economy. Gas prices. Housing. Credit crisis. Healthcare. Education. War. Terrorism. Yes. We face significant problems. Albert Einstein once stated that, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” An adaptation of this comment produced as a bumper sticker subtly personalized and criticized some of those in modern society with this question: “Can the problems we face be solved by the same minds that created them?”
 
Einstein’s comment is the more tactful; the bumper sticker is more pointed. Both direct the needs for solution to the quality and depth of thinking. The answers?
 
Mastering Mindsets
 
Since almost all thinking is conditioned by various predispositions and diverse subjective factors, it may be useful to also think about “mindsets” rather than just minds, or thinking processes. While knowledge, skill, intelligence and other mind-oriented attributes are key assets and requirements toward all success, the true “masterminds” may be those who also master their mindsets. The positive, optimistic attitudes are key hallmarks of the “can do, will do” mindset that is essential to, and absolutely necessary for, all high achievement in every endeavor or pursuit. Such mindsets not only help to gain achievement, but they also help to enlarge and imagine new possibilities and opportunities.
 
It’s a Force—Good and Bad
 
Mindsets are more than just an attribute—they’re also an energizing and directing force. But, depending on the bent of one’s mindset, it can also be a demoralizing and limiting factor. So powerful is mindset that it might be said that mindsets move minds. Perhaps without overstating this point, it might even be said that mindsets manage minds. Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation and is a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. In her seminal book, “Mindsets: The New Psychology of Success,” she identifies two basic types of mindsets.
 
Fixed
People with a fixed mindset (those who believe their intelligence is fixed) prefer to do things that will make them look smart and that will shore up their image instead of things that can stretch them and help them increase their skills. This is true even when they might badly need those new skills.
 
Growth
People with a growth mindset (those who believe their abilities can be cultivated) are highly eager to learn, even if it means that they will make mistakes and expose their deficiencies. A “Growth Mindset is a critical element of success—in life or business. “Learning is not compulsory … neither is survival.” – W. Edwards Deming
 
Learn. Learn. Learn.
 
But in your learning, be precise.
 
Precision Mindsets
 
When I travel by air, I suspect, but not sensibly realize, How the Pilot figure out the air route with no sign boards. :) I was told that the pilot quite often drift off course. But, the navigation systems regularly adjusts the course, in minute steps, as frequently as is needed to have the airplane travel and land almost precisely as intended safely at its destination. But the aircraft does not land with perfect precision. Rather, it lands as precisely as is necessary. This idea that providing solutions, or systems that operate to the degree of perfection that is necessary, is an important one to consider.
 
But, however difficult it may be to measure and monitor all of these effects, still the requirement for the varying degrees of precision and perfection demanded from the products and services offered can usually be quite accurately determined. In some cases, with which many of us are very familiar, such as the quality and reliability of the mission-critical software that Cincom offers, we realize that the degree of perfection necessary is very high indeed.
 
Pursuit of Perfection
 
This need for virtual perfection in our software development, testing, quality assurance and other software-perfecting processes is all the more challenging when one considers the great variety of usage environments, and the almost unlimited interactions of user transactions and application processes. In many ways, living and life are just like the perfection of software. We can never test, and thus quality assure, for every one of the virtually infinite number of possibilities or variables. One can never be certain, nor in complete control of all that may happen. Still, no matter how complex the problems our software must solve, and how infinitely variable their needs may be, customers want virtually perfect reliability and accuracy. Life too is similar. No matter how unpredictable or challenging the times and the uncertainties may be, we are called upon to cope and respond in the many ways that produce the best possible outcomes for all involved—whether directly or indirectly.
 
Our Mindset
 
Whatever job one may have, product one may create or service one may deliver, our mindset should be the “pursuit of perfection—that can lead to a perfect customer experience in business—and in life, lead to a fulfilling and meaningful existence.
 
“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” – Winston Churchill
 
No software system, or any product or service, can ever be considered to be absolutely perfect. So we tend to pursue such perfection in incremental steps that enable us to deliver systems that are as precise as they need to be, remember:
 
No product is perfect.
 
No service is perfect.
 
No business is perfect.
 
No person is perfect.
 
But all can pursue, with a determined and focused mindset, perfection, and by doing so, everyone will be the better for it.
 
One thing is certain. Along the way, mistakes will be made. Yes. Absolutely. But that’s ok.
 
“If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.” – Tallulah Bankhead
 
Make our mistakes—sooner. Learn from them and improve.
 
But We Still Face Significant Problems
 
Yes, we do.
 
The economy. Gas prices. Housing. Credit crisis. Healthcare. Education. War. Terrorism.
 
What are we waiting for? Problems can’t be fixed by the thinking that created them. But new thinking, imagination, guts, innovations and bold, brave ideas can.
 
As I had already taken this quote from Gothe before - “Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Only engage, and the mind grows heated.  Begin it, and the work will be completed.  Begin it now.”
 
Mastery of the world, its problems, its difficulties, begins with mastery of each one’s own self.
 
Mind our Mindsets.
 

Now let’s go forward together to move the world - making it better, safer and above all peaceful place to for you and for me and the entire human race.

How To Make PCBs For Your Project (In College Only).

Here I’m going to show how to make simple single-sided PCBs, using widely available materials. This technique works reliably for thin tracks down to 10 mils, and is suitable for most surface-mount parts.


 

STEPS AND METERIALS

 

Step 1.


So you have to design your PCB in a Computer (or download a proper PCB) then only we can make it. Find "EAGLE". It is a Cadsoft Product to design Our PCB.

You Can Download It From Here

And Use This Files For Install And All  guide.

You Can Download It From Here

OR

Make a PCB design From our college. The softwre are avilavble i guss.

Step 2.


Printing

Print your PCB layout as usual(Only Works With A Laser Printer), and you must print a mirrored layout of PCB.(Use A thin paper For dest result.)
