The later versions of the software will witness subtitle downloader extention and many more.

Here are the basic features which I plan to inmplement in version 1.0

• Scanning user-chosen directories to find media files (films in a first time)

Status : Done

How : Used a recursive OS walk algorithm to extract movies from all folders , sub-folders , sub-sub folders etc.

• Extracting film titles from file names (tough one if files are not properly named)

Status: Done

How: Using Neural Network algorithms and and basic Regular Expression.

• Create a list of these names in a database get films information (duration, plot, poster cover , rating , casts etc) from imdb

Status : Done

How: Used a library named IMDBPy as imdb.com does not provide and API (Another example of Amazon’s miserness). The database used is MySQL which experienced developers feel is a wrong choice for desktop.

• display films list and information of the selected one

Status: Done

• basic settings handling

Status: More or less done until someone comes out with bugs

• Filtering based on genre , title ,rating seen or unseen etc.

Status: Not Done

To Do: Learn multiple substring search in SQL ( SQL sucks , I hate it)

• Clean and simple gui

Status : The Gui is simple but not clean and hangs as I have not implemented the Multi-threading

To Do : Learn Multi-threading and make the network call fuctions run in separate threads in the background and also need to implement customized Progress Bars for UI

Plugins (towards upper versions):

• subtitle downloader
• playlist manager
• automatic new files inclusion (directory survey)
• music album and video series handling

Tools Used:

• Python as the Programming Language
• Qt as Graphics Library
• QtDesigner for the Gui
• SVN as versioning program
• MySQL as database software
• IMDBPy as the library
• GPLv3 licence

Lunch (always a major preoccupation with me) is provided at the 5th-floor canteen, which gets very crowded around 12:45,hence sometimes we need to book the conference room to have our lunch . There’s a buffet of both Vegetarian and its non counterpart for a reasonable sum of Rs 35 /- (Very very cheap as per Bangalore standards but just a bit expensive as per Kolkata standards.)

For a change we can order fresh fruits , as I saw for some ladies who prefered them for the dieting routine.

The Sun break rooms have a great selection of teas, including elaichi (cardamom), masala (what Americans call chai spice), and ginger. Plus a selection of other hot drinks – cocoa, instant coffee, and flavored mixes that I haven’t quite understood yet.

There’s a machine dispensing hot water and hot milk to mix these with. There is also brewed coffee, chocolate powder,tomato soup mix and powdered,badam milk and many more .

Now coming to the important part that is WORK . The very first day I got my Badge ready for which there was a photo session sort of arrangement at the ground floor near the data-center . For the first time in my life I felt very important .

For those of you who don’t know what a Badge is , I will like to tell that it is card like thing with my photo and other details and chip and a magnetic strip .It comes to use at the security gates where we need to show it a sensor and only then the door opens .Besides this is used when we need to use a Sun Ray machine ( Runs on Solaris 10 and has a SPARC architecture) , it is inserted into a slot inside the machine.

Its is a really nice environment around to work with caring and loving seniours and and lots of respect for every employee . The working time is flexible ,by flexible I mean there is no fixed working schedule and timing or anything like that . When you are done with your work you can can go home and sleep and if its like you prefer to work nights then you can work in the office during the nights. 

So I am kind of enjoying the experience as a Sun Intern and another news I have just heard that Sun IEC Bangalore will be celebrating its 10th birthday by throwing a huge party at a hotel called OTERRA at Electronic city and we are invited . So my next post will be on IEC 10 years of Engineering Excellence.

The specs submitted by me are for:

Sribes ( http://scribes.sourceforge.net): Very sleek looking graphical editor for the Gnome desktop of Opensolaris.

Gnome-schedule ( http://gnome-schedule.sourceforge.net ) : Graphical sytem administration tool.

GTK2Edit ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk2edit ): Simple Gnome text editor.

Check the OSUM events calendar for the complete schedule and RSVP today.

• The server and the viewer may be on different machines and on types of computer. The protocol which connects the server and viewer is simple, open, and platform independent.
• No state is stored at the viewer. Breaking the viewer’s connection to the server and then reconnecting will not result in any loss of data. Because the connection can be remade from somewhere else, you have easy mobility.

So to get started with VNC you need to run a server, and then connect to it with a viewer. First of all, you have to download and install the software on the platforms you want to use.

VNC software requires a TCP/IP connection between the server and the viewer. This is the standard networking protocol on LANs, WANs, broadband and dialup ISP. Each computer has a unique IP address and may also have a name in the DNS. You will need to know the IP address or name of the server when you connect a viewer to it.

The VNC servers also contain a small web server. If you connect to this with a web browser, you can download the Java version of the viewer, and use this to view the server. You can then see your desktop from any Java-capable browser, unless you are using a proxy to connect to the web. The server listens for HTTP connections on port 5800+display number. So to view display 2 on machine ‘snoopy’, you would point your web browser at:

http://snoopy:5802/

The applet will prompt you for your password, and should then display the desktop.

Here is what he writes in his blog http://blogs.sun.com/roumen/entry/leaving_sun)

“I have decided to quit Sun Microsystems. I spent amazing 5 years at Sun and I am very grateful for all I’ve learned with the company. Working on both NetBeans and OpenSolaris adoption was real fun so I leave with very mixed feelings.

I am going back to Java developer business and will be going to Java One with my new employer, so you will find me in the Java One pavilion area if you want to say hi. I wish my Sun colleagues good luck with their new adventures!

P.S. Thanks for all the beans.“

Wish you all the best Sir . Keep enlightening us with your screencasts.

You might notice that there is a difference between the content of these books. They are composed by three different documents, and only the ones in English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese have them all. All other languages have only one document.

The books have a pretty basic approach, so they are aimed at people who doesn’t have much experience with the OS. This makes them perfect to be indicated during basic courses and presentations.

It seems that the 2008.11 version of these mini-books will be available only in the digital format.
