En route to Thailand

On me way to Bangkok right now... Completely exhausted more so mentally than physically. I started on saturday afternoon 12:00 pm from JFK New York and now the clock on my laptop shows 7:38 am in the morning. There are still 3 and half hours left till my plane touches bangkok so this will be a nice 24 hour jaunt around the globe. My first stop was Tokya(Nikara) airport for a couple of hours.. Changed planes there and now I am on a United flight to Bangkok. The flight is packed and I did not get aisle seats either. Note to self :- The next time the firm decides to send you around the globe do not settle for anything less than Business class.
I will be in Bangkok for about 3 days and 4 nights. Have meetings during the day but hope to explore the bangkok night life. Have heard a lot about it by now.
We kinda have some turbulence on the plane now so the skipper has asked everyone to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts. Will write more later

Goin to Thailand

Found out yesterday that I will be going to Thailand and then found out last night that I will have to go to Thailand on saturday morning to be able to attend a meeting on Monday morning ... Been running around since then. Hopefully my tickets will arrive by mail tommorrow and so will the visa.

Back after a long long long time

Wow... This has been the longest time since I last blogged. Have been very very lazy. There have been a lot of changes in my life and was kinda tooo banged up to write anything down on the blog. Rest assured there will be a lot of stuff posted in the following days.

A bit of good news. A couple of Patent Applications that I am listed on as a Coinventor have been published. I have been told that this is the step before they are awarded. They were filed by my firm for products we built. Check them out if you get a chance : 20050015311 and 20050015310.

Dynamic Interfaces with IHtmlViewer (Brew)

Was playing around with generating a different User interface generating different user interfaces dynamically using the IHTMLVIEWER interface. I must say I wish there was a similar class in J2ME and Series 60. Its just to easy. Have the HTML file on the server. When the applet launches for the first time, download and store the html code in a file on the handset. Now that you have the html file, load it into an instance of the viewer and set it to active. Walah ! you have a complete display that can be altered based on the html file that you download.

There are other ways to do it but this way is just so dam simple. Took me about half a day to set up for my purpose. There are a few limitations though - In forms you cannot set the input mode for text boxes and the html tag list is only HTML 3.2 compliant. There might be others but these are the ones I noticed so far. Just glad to have got the job done with so little effort. :-)...

looking forward to a weekend at my sisters place... great food and no worries!

Blog calling Punit ... Come in Punit over.

Been a long long time since my last blog. I tried staying away from computers this holiday season and from the looks of it, did a good job. Spent the holidays at my sisters place where the family had gathered. It was fun playing with my nieces and nephew. Now I feel like I need to sleep for 12 hours to recharge my batteries.
