IndiMix '06 -- Webcast

In continuation to my previous post on IndiMix I got registered to the webcast couple of days back.

I have gone through the agenda of the seminar and was interested only in these two sessions.

1. The Genesis of Creativity and Innovation – The Next Web Now (10:15 AM to 11:15 AM)
Speaker: Steve Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft Corporation.

2. Designing for the Next Web Now – Experiences and Expressions that Capture the Imagination (2 PM to 3:15 PM).

Speaker:

i) Leon Brown, Regional Designer and User Experience Lead, Microsoft Corporation APAC (Singapore)
ii) Pandurang Nayak, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation India
iii) Deepak Gulati, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation India
iv) Dax Pandhi, CEO, Nukeation Studios

Not that I wasn't interested in the other sessions. Since that I am in vacation and browsing from home, I wanted to keep my broadband usage to the minimum :)

Today Morning, when i tried accessing the URL (which they have sent me in the registration confirmation mailer) it was throwing an error "We're Sorry, the page you requested could not be found". I tried for almost 20 minutes but the result was the same.

Then Vinod Unny (MVP) sent me the URL to access the webcast (http://server1.msn.co.in/sp06/indimix/challenge.asp). By the time I logged into the site "Steve Ballmers" keynote was already over :(

I got to listen to the topic "Realizing the opportunity in India". Since that I have missed out Steve's keynote, I started to wait for Pandu / Deepak to "perform".

I have seen Deepak Gulati take sessions in TechEd's. Normally I don't miss his sessions. On the flip side, I know of Pandu for a long time but i have never seen him take a session on a huge event like this. So i was eagerly waiting to see him online :) They actually didn't disappoint me. Both of their demo's where great. I felt that Pandu was bit tensed during the session which was evident in his face :)

To be frank, I really don't understand the purpose of bringing in "Mandira Bedi" and "Murali Karthik" for this event!! Do you have a say on this?

Script table as - ALTER TO is greyed out - SQL SERVER

One of my office colleague recently asked me why we are not able to generate ALTER Table script from SSMS. If we right click on the table and choose "Script Table As"  ALTER To option would be disabled or Greyed out. Is it a bug? No it isn't a bug. ALTER To is there to be used for generating modified script of Stored Procedure, Functions, Views, Triggers etc., and NOT for Tables. For generating ALTER Table script there is an work around. Right click on the table, choose "Modify" and enter into the design mode. Make what ever changes you want to make and WITHOUT saving it right click anywhere on the top half of the window (above Column properties) and choose "Generate Change Script". Please be advised that SQL Server would drop actually create a new table with modifications, move the data from the old table into it and then drop the old table. Sounds simple but assume you have a very large table for which you want to do this! Then it woul

[Non Tech] Want to know the recipe for Omelette :)

Fed up with Bread - Jam and Curd Rice, today i wanted to eat Omelette. Interesting part is I wanted to cook it myself :) So in the first picture you see all the items which are needed for preparing an Omelette. When I had a closer look at the eggs I see that almost all the eggs are broken. But believe me when I bought it couple of days back it was in perfect condition! I was wondering whether the eggs have become rotten or pretty old to consume! I tried taking an egg and break it but couldn't break it at all :) Since I have kept in the freezer all the eggs have frozen and looked like a iron ball :) After trying for few minutes of trying i removed the shell of the egg and then kept that iron ball :) into a bowl and placed it within Oven. I heated it for 1 minute and checked. It melted only to a limit. So i just set it for another 2 minutes and checked it later. It has melted but the part of the egg white has become a Omelette :( I didn't leave it there. I took the bowl out of
