Centralized TNS names on network

With Oracle 8.0.6 and 8.1.7 versions running in support services, we had to change the TNS names in individual systems (about 30 of them), every time there was a change in host ip or any other parameter which are globally applicable

C:\Oracle\Ora806\Net80\Admin\TNS Names and
C:\Oracle\Ora817\Network\Admin\TNS Names

But one can have these TNS Names in a centralized location to avoid its change in every client system.

Create an environment variable with name: TNS_ADMIN, value for which would be the centralized location (eg. a mapped drive) containing TNS Names file. So, on the client system, it uses this variable to connect Oracle db. The local TNS Names become redundant!!!

l337

We all know the SMS language (you = u, Great = Gr8, are = r, etc.). There is a similar language for internet users which is considered geeky.

"l33t sp34k" is the international internet language coined by script kiddies and trolls who like to clutter up message boards and chat rooms with their claims of being "l33t H4xX0r5".
After going through a ten minutes read, I could interpret the statement: 1337 $|o3/-\|< |=/-\57 3|\|0U9|-| u <'/-\|\| 937 /-\ |0T 0F \/\//-\7 |7 5/-\5, 7|-|3|\| U c/-\|\| F|9uR3 0u7 \/\//-\7 u |\/||553o|.

"Leet speak fast enough u can get a lot of u wat p sas, then U can figure wat u missed" (in Italics - I do not know whether I could interpret it correctly)

How could I understand by just going through that language for 10 mins. Here is the help. Short course, in points, below
  • Think of the symbols as shapes: a 5 looks a bit like an S, as does a $
  • Combine two or more symbols and numbers to make single letters, such as |= for F or |3 for B
  • Pay attention to context. If you can't figure out the meaning of a symbol, try to guess its meaning based on the letters (symbols) around it.
  • substitute letters for other letters, sounds or words like f = ph, cks = xx, s = z or r = are. Interpretation of 1337$p34|<3r is leetspeaker
  • Flagrant misspellings: Some, such as "kewl" (for "cool") are phonetic replacements, while others such as "teh" (for "the), or "ownt" and "pwned" (for "owned") are just an inside joke :)
  • New grammatical structures: the suffix "0rz" can be added to a word to make it plural or to add emphasis, as in "r0xx0rz" for "rocks," where "r0xx" would substitute for "rocks". Another common suffix is "3d," used to indicate the past tense such that "rocked" becomes "r0xx0r3d," as is "7h47 r0xx0r3d" ("that rocked")
  • l337 includes chat abbreviations too: BTW ("by the way"), TTYL ("talk to you later"), and the ubiquitous LOL (generally meaning "laugh out loud")
  • Expand your vocabulary. Though most of the "new" words in 1337 are simply misspellings of English words ("taht", for example, or "pwn"), some are actually new coinages, such as "nooblet"--this could be written, for example, as "n008137"--which denotes a "noobie," or the 'newguy' |\|3\/\/|3 (newb) someone new to 1337 or something else. The best way to learn the vocabulary is to read a lot of 1337.
  • Adapt to inconsistency. Sometimes, you'll see people with 1337 "skillz," sometimes you'll see "5k1||5," and sometimes "$c1llz0r3d."
  • cApItalizE at random. Random capitalization is arguably an integral part of 1337. Some writers employ a consistent method, such as capitalizing all letters except vowels or only ending letters, but many simply capitalize letters (where they are not replaced by symbols), whenever they want.
l337 Chart:
  • Note:
    • The commas are added to separate symbols
    • The symbol | (Example: B = |3 ) is a "down-slash", or "pipe", and not a lower-case "L" or capital "i"
    • The symbol ` (Example: T = 7` ) is not a standard apostrophe, but is a "Grave Accent" and is found on the tilde (~) key
    • Also keep in mind that the use of /-/ for H for example, aren't used nearly as often as the normal letter in a quick conversation. To write an entire sentence this way would take three times as long, thus the quicker single symbol or letter substitutions are more often used.
  • A = 4, /-\, @, ^, /\ , //-\\
  • B = 8, ]3, ]8, |3, |8, ]]3, 13
  • C = (, { , [[, <, €
  • D = ), [}, |), |}, |>, [>, ]]), Ð
  • E = 3, ii, €
  • F = |=,(=, ]]=, ph
  • G = 6, 9, (_>, [[6, &
  • H = #, |-|, (-), )-(, }{, }-{, {-}, /-/, \-\, |~|, []-[], ]]-[[
  • I = 1, !, |, ][, []
  • J = _|, u|, ;_[], ;_[[
  • K = |<, |{, ][<, ]]<, []<
  • L = |,1, |_, []_, ][_, £
  • M = /\/\, |\/|, [\/], (\/), /V\, []V[], \\\, (T), ^^, .\\, //., ][\\//][,
  • N = /\/, |\|, (\), /|/, [\], {\}, ][\][, []\[], ~
  • O = 0, (), [], <>, *, [[]]
  • P = |D, |*, |>, []D, ][D
  • Q = commas are necessary: (,) or 0, or O, or O\ or []\
  • R = |2, |?, |-, ]]2 []2 ][2
  • S = 5, $
  • T = 7, +, ']', 7`, ~|~, -|-, '][', "|", †
  • U = (_), |_|, \_\, /_/, \_/, []_[], ]_[, µ
  • V = \/ , \\//
  • W = \/\/, |/\|, [/\], (/\), VV, ///, \^/, \\/\//, 1/\/, \/1/, 1/1/
  • X = ><, }{, )(, }[

GCal & GMaps

GCal has grown more intelligent. Today there was an invitation for a get-together. I went to add into Calendar from Gmail itself with the option provided - Add to Calendar which appears on the right side of mail. The subject contained the date 14th of Dec, 2008. When it reached GCal, it automatically chose the date as: 14th of Dec, 2008!!! If that was not enough, today for the first time found that in the Add a Reminder option, it had chosen my earlier preferences. This was one thing which I felt should be there, and now it is there. Now I dont know whether it is a consolidation of type of all the choices we had chosen so far, or just the last choice we had preferred. Nevertheless, its more intelligent now.

As expected, it has got GMap already part of GCal. Not to be surprised if GThemes push their way into it apart from the much anticipated and wanted GTasks.

Plus, in GMaps, today when I went about marking the place for this event, could see one new option on Add a place to the map. Earlier this option existed in personal maps alone. But, now this option to add is for the global map. All said and done, there is a lot that needs to be improved in GMaps

Google Maps integrated with Blogger

Continuing with their tradition, culture of integration, Google has integrated GMaps with Blogger after integrating with Picassa-web, Gmail (in contacts) and few other products. I observed it as I was publishing the earlier post. It appears right next to Labels with the legend Location: add location with its cheeky icon. Because of this, the space for labels has expanded length-wise since Location hijacked its earlier territory.

As I tried underlining 'add location' in the earlier statement, there is surprisingly no 'U' icon existing in Blogger's RTF toolbar!

Get rid of alert messages from Taskbar


1.) Go to your Start menu, Control Panel and look for the Security Center icon. Click on that

Also, keep in mind that you need to be in the category view of your Control Panel for this to work. To get there, open up your Control Panel and at the upper left hand corner, click on "Switch to Category View" (if you're not already there).


2.) After opening the security center, look under the title Resources on the left hand side of the page. Click on "Change the way Security Center alerts me."

3.) From this screen, you can choose which things you want to change under the Alert Settings. Uncheck any that you don't want activated anymore. You probably will only want to change the Automatic Updates setting though, because the others deal with your antivirus and firewall and you should always have those running. When you're done, click OK.


You may want to restart your computer when you're finished just to make sure the changes take effect. Then there won't be any more annoying and frustrating messages!

Threat Expert

Many a times, we have files on our system, which are genuine yet get black-listed by our favourite Anti-viruses. At the same time, there are files which though infected by viruses do not get detected by our anti-viruses. A simple solution is to update the Anti-virus, and most probably it will work properly.

Yet, there is a online utility called Threat Expert which will detect any virus in a particular file. Can submit a file and get the report! One can even submit the file using a standalone applet in the PC itself!

Google Task List

It has been known that Google Apps does not have a Task Manager, be it for Project tracking, or for completing tasks on schedule. Google Calendar's daily agenda, was so-so for this work. But Google has got a completely new service called Google Task List.

Living by their nature of integrating each service into every other service of theirs (like getting Google Themes from iGoogle to Orkut, then to Gmail and it might very easily extend to Reader too! Similarly, Google SMS which is part of Google SMS channel, may become part of Gmail filters, where we can set the criteria, for an sms notification), they have integrated Google Tasks List with Gmail. Implying, integrated with Google Apps.

This is what Google Watch had to say about it:

"Click it, then click in an empty part of the list window that pops up on the right and start typing your task list in what is really the familiar Google Chat window. This means they're visible while you're scanning your inbox, reading mail, or searching. You can also pop your list out into a new window to.
The list you create saves automatically and you can hit return to begin entering a new task. There are a number of editing options, including the ability to add, delete, indent, un-indent tasks, move tasks up or down, or switch between task lists.


Here's the best part: You can also convert e-mails into tasks. To do so, select one or more messages and go to "More Actions," then "Add to Tasks." It pops up in the task list. You can read it by selecting it and clicking the related e-mail link. Awesome! More modular e-mail. It's like putting a digital sticky label on your to-do list."

Ctrl & Shift

Many times, we see that the files get duplicated on selecting them, with Ctrl key pressed. Below shortcut explains it, two little known shortcuts that can be useful

Select the file. Then, drag it with

  • Ctrl key pressed, it creates a copy
  • Ctrl + Shift pressed, it creates a shortcut to that file

Secondly, there is one more very less known shortcut: Shift+ Restart. This will just restart Windows and not the whole computer, holding down the Shift key when clicking the OK button on the shutdown screen. This will save a lot of time.
