Well, Of all the days, Tomorrow I have my OOPS model examinations. I thought of preparing for the one question I like the most, which is Exception Handling. I prepared a neat “ESSAY” for 6 pages, content that my new lame ass Lecturer would fall for the page count. Then after, when I tried to print, I got the error “Printer Driver not installed” from my new Ultra fast WinServer 2003 OS. Strike one. I inserted my Driver CD and began to install. After finishing the installation, I got the Error “INSTALLATION FAILED: Printer RPC Call Disabled”. Strike two.

Being smart as I already am, I simply went into Control Panel, Opened Adminstrative services, Opened “Services” and scrolled for Remote Procedure Call (RPC). There it was Enabled and set to Automatic. Strike three. I was at a loss! Then, Luckily, a few lines above that, was Printer RPC Call. That golden word struck my eye.. phew, As expected, It was disabled! So, I clicked it, enabled the thing and restarted.

After I finished Installation of my printer driver,… well,.. the printer worked.. thats it. what were ya expecting?
PS: Win 2003, Huh.. big deal! MCSE, here I come!!

Finally, Its over! After a slight confusion in the examination preponement etc, things are back to normal. Well, its not that I’m gonna start studying yet, but, I got to know the date of commencement of the university examinations, which is important than anything else.
Check it for yourself, here ya go:

Seagate announced the results of a magnetic recording demonstration, setting a world record of 421 Gbits per square inch (421 Gbit/in2). The demonstration used perpendicular recording heads and media created with currently available production equipment that validates Seagate’s ability to scale the technology for the foreseeable future without major technology changes or capital additions. Dr. Mark Kryder of Seagate unveiled the findings during his keynote presentation at the IDEMA DISKCON show in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the hard drive. At the demonstrated density level, Seagate expects the capacity ranges to result in solutions ranging in 40GB to 275GB for 1-and 1.8-inch consumer electronics drives, 500GB for 2.5-inch notebook drives, and nearly 2.5TB for 3.5-inch desktop and enterprise class drives. At 2.5TB capacity, a hard drive would be capable of storing 41,650 hours of music, 800,000 digital photographs, 4,000 hours of digital video or 1,250 video games. Seagate anticipates that solutions at these density levels could begin to emerge in 2009. Seagate continues to invest its resources in research to serve the needs of the storage market and sees a strong future in disc drive development. During Dr. Kryder’s DISKCON keynote, he explained future technologies designed to extend magnetic recording beyond perpendicular including Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) and bit patterned media techniques. Using these recording methods, Seagate researchers have estimated capacities to reach or exceed 50 terabits per square inch.

Well, Back to good ol’ Blogging days! After the useless server crashed, We’re back with a more reliable server, thought VERY SLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!! Man! Taking ages for a stupid page to load!

Marc, Do something dude! My readers will go away!

YoGen Vocal Remover tries to remove any monophonic components from stereo sound.
Quality of vocal removal depends on how songs are recorded and mixed.
This software works very well for vocal tracks that are “up in the middle” of
the stereo mix. Other placement of the vocal in the stereo field can not be removed.
If songs are not recorded in this way, their vocals are not removed at all.
This is why some songs work great while others do not.
MP3 file support has been added over the previous version.
Now it can directly process an MP3 file. So you do not need to convert MP3 files to WAV files anymore. Real-time processing allows you to listen to what a vocal removed song sounds like on-the-fly without having to save the vocal removed data to disk.
Unsuccessful vocal removal is mainly caused by music files explained earlier. They are very closely and importantly related with the quality of removal. Therefore you do not expect this software to remove vocals 100% nicely. In some cases, however, it will be useful enough to remove vocals.

Try it out guyz, Here’s the link.

Marc is currently gobbling up all the Bandwidth to himself in the lab. 3 Torrents running at the same time, Each about 700 MiB. Though this download will take a LOOOOONNGG time to be done with, His duel with Patience and time is to be appreciated. The funny thing is, Our Upload speed is much more higher than the download speed. I have never seen the U/D ratio cross 1. But its 1.40 for a particular file!

Hope the download gets over by the next sunday Z.
