Every puzzle,
Every Trick,
Every Legerdemain,
Every Idea that is brilliant,
Are like the master Notes of a Composition.

Not for the Notes,
But Search for the Composition,
as it is that which is the genesis,
Of the Puzzle,
Of the Trick,
Of the Legerdemain,
Of every idea that is Brilliant!

How do you analyze and address anxious thoughts?

This research log looks into the push notification capabilities of parse.com. It also gives out a few code samples to test various scenarios. I will have a formal article soon here based on this information here.

Seeking Evolution

More documents like this are at: Shells: My Writes

23-Apr-13

I roam freely as long and as far my limbs let me.
I see the abundant green canopies sway in soothing gait.
I am free and no one could judge otherwise.

No one hurt me.
I am not a prisoner.
I have all one can ask! Freedom.

I saw a Pa and a Son,
On a spring evening coming to a close.
A slushy mat of rolling grass,
barely drained of the morning pours.

A ball is pitched.
A hit! Run and get it!
A miss! Run again and Repeat.

Say I, "You want a catcher?"
Caught a few right in the Mitt,
And just one on the nape of my Wrist,
Pride moved the dusk along.

Move a door ajar,
Hold a cup,
Turn a wheel,
It is a tortuous pain a few dusks forward.

It is not sudden,
It is not unbearable,
Yet on every movement,
Guttorally "ouuuuuuu...",
If not me, perhaps for the World to bear,
it is so painful!

I have no misgivings,
that I am anything like a tiger,
but wailed like one on each step,
whose shoulder dislocated a few days prior

For the first time in a long time I am alive,
Complacency to my wrist is a distant memory!

With each blinding pain, I wondered,
Whose heart is wrenched?
Whose eyes swelled an Ocean?

I stare!
I am not a prisoner!
I am free!

A horse, a cat,
a dog, a human,
Aren't we all, when naked of norms,
Alone?

Perhaps it is early morning,
and the dusk of Evolution is far!

Enhancing Parse with Parcelables: An article

More documents like this are at: Parse Cloud

22-Apr-13

This article talks about how to parcel parse objects so that the target activities can receive parse objects through intents. Parse objects don't natively support any form of serialization. So the approach presented here is an approximation of sending parse object through a parcelable and would meet most simple needs.

Defining Present

More documents like this are at: Shells: My Writes

22-Apr-13

Present is not benevolent,
Present is not kind,
Nor is it anger or revenge,
Neither, as such, it is ambivalent,
It demands none nor favors any,
For Present is not a state of mind!
 
Present is not a zero hour,
Present is not at 8,
Nor is it at 5 and quarter,
Neither, as such, it is temporal,
Although perhaps of Time,
Present is not a moment in Time.
 
Present is not quiet,
Present is slow or slower,
Present is fast or faster,
For sure, say I, Present moves!
 
By Counts and Clocks,
Present is when you make not,
An Account it!!
Allowed duration for a task,
Mundane or Profound,
When Exceeds infinitum,
Present then Is for all foreseeable future!

Slowing Time

More documents like this are at: Shells: My Writes

21-Apr-13

When you tie your shoes,
Seconds, or a Minute, they will be tied!
Why count?

When you read a Book,
It will be read!
Why flip again and again,
Only to see "How much left?"

When going to Disney,
why ask,
"Are we there yet?"

Be it tieing shoes,
Or Reading a Book,
Or going to Disney,
They all take what they take.

Pondering the end before due,
is only going to ruin the Joy,
Which otherwise could have been!!
Or delay precisely what you seek.
And worse, could manifest plaques,
Alas, Of the Arterial type.

Why sprint,
Slow the Time instead!

A Simple Choice

A fork in the road,
I have found myself at.

The first path straight in all its turns,
The other perhaps curvy all the way.

Neither I know well enough for bias.
I could take any as they both get me there.

I agonize, instead.
"is this right or that?
Would I regret?
Would one be too long?
Or the other hard?"

I asked a Sage, the Siri, the Oracle, 
And even an 8 ball!
"How should I lead?"

They all replied the same!!!

"Take any as it matters little which!
Matters most is you commit to what you choose.

Yet be there a lingering doubt,
Take the one that perhaps be harder,
as in equal proportion it would be rewarding!"

Naadi, Nenu, Naaku,
Maaku, Memu, Manadi,
Us, I, We, Ours,
Mine, Mine, or Me!!

Would be perfectly alright,
If uttered,
By a well dweller,
Or a bridled horse with blinders!

Else should heed Krak des Chevaliers:
"Grace, wisdom and beauty you may enjoy, 
but beware pride, 
which alone can tarnish all the rest"

Oh, One on the white horse,
To what graceful lands,
filled with promise and flowers,
You hurry to!!

Thorny, dry, and difficult,
I demand you avert your handsome visage,
as by my right, I need addressed.

Unlike the beautiful, carved, and garbed suitably,
those princesses that you seek, 
I yield not for your charms,
nor for your heft, weight, or fame.

I yield, perhaps, when I am convinced,
I am your destination,
Turn orthogonal.
Pay my tribute.

Pray that you realize,
it is only through me,
is the path to the promised land.

Dance with me,
Perhaps a minute, a moment,
or eternity.

Unless I become your present,
Future is never.

This is a quick research article on what are NoSQL databases and largely when to (and less when not to) use them. These are becoming the staple databases cloud based multi-tenanted systems. This will identify what these databases are and who is using them and what are their core concepts.
