Recently I was thinking about a simple tool/program which we can use for sharing expenses. This is what, bought the idea of “Xsharer“. So here comes a DOS application which seems to be easy and simple enough to use often. Implemented in C(of course) and, is full of linked lists

Time being, only windows/DOS EXE is available. So it would be nice if you people can help me to test it.

will upload the source code soon.

By the way, below is the screenshot of main menu options,

It’s been a while, I did not update this BLOG due to so and so reasons
Yes, sort of hibernation after I returned to Bangalore in December.
Now, me again, back to Shanghai. Though, it’s for a very short time. From today i.e 1st May to 3rd May, it’s holiday time in China. No plans as of now. I am waiting for my return tickets, will be flying back to Bangalore this weekend.

I forgot to write something about Diwali which we somehow tried to celebrate in Shanghai, faaaaaaaaaaaar away from our families
This is infact my 3rd Diwali in Shanghai and it was indeed happening.
At first, attended Pooja at Mr. Ramapathi’s place. Then we went on to tryout some crackers. We thought of firing the crackers on Zhong Hua Xin Road. There is a big footpath which we targeted. To be safe, we did check with Shanghai traffic police regarding this. They said, we may fire crackers after they leave from that place. They did not want us to fire crackers when they are on duty
Anyway, at 10PM they left and then we fired lots of crackers… It was real fun
Check these snaps . . .

This is really funny incident . . .
The mega polis of Mumbai holds many a challenge for the ‘rookie’ who lands here unaware of the hurdles and challenges that he or she might have to face.
A recent incident saw one such hapless victim falling prey to the overenthusiastic nature of Bombay’s local train commuters. Our hero, (more…)

This time, holiday started with the woman’s football final “Brazil Vs Germany”. We had tough time in searching for the black tickets outside the stadium. Somehow got the tickets for 150RMB each. When we entered the stadium, the match has already begun. It was so amazing, lush green and the lights
We were cheering for Brazil but unfortunatly they lost. Germany defeated Brazil with 2-0. Anyway, we really enjoyed it.
Then we roamed around some of the standard tourist spots like Nanging Road, People square, Bund etc. On Saturday we went to Shanghai science and technological museum. 4D movie was too good. All ‘n’ all had a nice holiday

World Twenty20 climax, Team India are World Twenty20 champions

What a match… India Vs Australia semi final went down to the wire
Chasing 188 with around 10 runs per over Australia were really in a driving seat till 15th over. And then comes the magician, Bajjhi… he bowled that magic 18th over in which he went just under may be 6 runs and took the wicket of Clarke.
Anyways…that’s it, Indians have pulled off an amazing win, a win by 15 runs to storm into the Final, and will meet arch rivals Pakistan!!!
Had a gr8 time watching the match late night… it’s almost 3.30am here, so a very good morning Shanghai

So me again back to Shanghai and the story “Me and My laptop” continues
Yesssssss, the trip started with a BANG, typhoon Wifa. After 2 days of horrible wind and rain, today it seems to be bit normal. This time staying in an apartment just 5min walk from our office. Nothing special to mention. Here comes just another weekend.

Someone out there either has too much spare time or is deadly at Scrabble
(Wait till you see the last one)!

A collegian was deeply in love with a foreign girl, whom he wanted to marry but he did not have the courage to talk to her in person. So he decided to go home and with the aid of a dictionary, wrote a letter of proposal to her.

2: I’m not really out of the office. I’m just ignoring you.

3: You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn’t have received anything at all.

Today I tried some of the new karaoke available on geetnet.com.
Infact, this is the first time I tried recording on my laptop . . .
Anyway, just check it out

1. pal pal dilke paas . . .
2. meri bheegi bheegi si . . .
3. Agar Tum Na Hote. . .
4. Some of my old karaoke

Some of my friends wanted to know how to record your own songs with the karaoke available on the Internet.
Here is some information.
First you need some audio recording software like Cooledit or goldwave.

Please install any one of the above software and try to record some audio files using your Microphone. Once you are comfortable with this. Now, you can try to download Karaoke music tracks.

If you are lucky, you may get some MP3 Karaoke’s. For this, you just start playing the Karaoke in your favorite player. Now open Audio Settings–> then Recording options –> select recording source as both “WAVE” and “MICROPHONE”. Now try to record this combination in Cooledit/goldwave. Hopefully, you may get a sound file in which your voice is well mixed with the Karaoke music track.

Now, as with the current geetnet.com, they not allowing to download Karaokes. No problem, what you can do is, open the webpage and start playing. Do the same as above i.e. select WAVE and MICROPHONE in the recording option of your sound settings.

In worst case, sound card of your PC is capable of recording the data only from one source at a time (this happened with my laptop). For this case, only thing you can do is play the karoake song from other PC/Laptop and use only MICROPHONE as a recording source. This will record both the karaoke trac as well as your voice data.
If you you are using cooledit, you can amplify the recording (may be around 100DB boost). Next, try using some Hiss/noice reduction (there is one option to do that) option. Then you can even give some ECHO effect (I used Stereo Type-2 option available in the cooledit)

Hope this helps to try out your own karaokes ! ! !
Have a nice day

You can get lots of karoake here
