How to create a simple bot

Service something like dictionary or movie search is cool on automatic bot. The basic service should be available on line anytime to serve your request. I searched a lot to find good, useful bots around the globe. Here are some which are really interesting to use on daily basis :

url@askme.im

webtoim@gmail.com

googlesms@bot.im

cleartrip.trains@jabber.org

bots@gtalkbots.com

jobs@chat.naukari.com

quotes@askme.im

I’ve added above bots on my gtalk !

another one I just tried with http://www.imified.com/ is mahendra@bot.im :

You just need to create your own free account on imified.com and host a php, jsp logic URL on some hosting site.

Its pretty easy to create your own bot to do basic operations.

Mahendra — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 06:16:41 +0000

Something being hobby or use to is kind of okey but "Addiction" is bad !!

Now a days people gets addicted to cellphone, PC, TV . Earlier trend was old with cigar, drinks, gambling, etc

I came across addition of browsing over similar set of page again and again on net. Something like, just visiting google.com even u don’t have any thing in mind to be searched. Too frequently checking mails are kind of such additions.

Today’s blog is too control Web page addition. Use a simple browser like Firefox. Pretty secured and equipped with billions of plug ins try various things. Get a plugin called http://pageaddict.com/ , available to download in xpi format at http://pageaddict.com/download.html
It supported on Firefox 3.0 & 2.0 so no worry. U just need to install and config it. U can find plugin link in Tools–>Pageaddict
Click on it, it’ll take u too its site. U can do required setting on site itself. Its very simple !!
Here are some screen shot to make it more comfortable.

The Lonar Crater

Mahendra — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:08:23 +0000

Long time before I had visited a geo meteoric crater ! It was just coincidence I happened to meet person Mr Anand Mishra . Guy with great personality and knowlege of Lonar crator. A photographer, reasearcher, etc .. quite multi dynamic personality.

I never thought to be the at this place. I was at Lonar with friend to meet my friend Balaji Darade.

I had heard a lot about the crator from friends, but never had seen it. It’s a huge lake with multiple water origins around the place. The lake surrounds the huge trees. Its dense forest area in bank of lake. The mineral composition of soil is very fertile for trees.

I specially thanks to Balaji, Anand for such a memorable time with us in such a sorrow moment. We were accompied by 3 scientist friends Satish Raut, Muralidhar Shinde and Gajendra Jogdand. They infact took sample of the water to get it tested under microscope.. Hussss … i dont understand bit of it. Anyways had great memorable time. Will never forget

Gateway of India!!

Mahendra — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:37:00 +0000

Recently I had visited CST and Gateway of India to show some great things of Mumbai to my cousin.
He was happy to see the Arabean sea and The Taj. Location was too much crowded. Still it was okey for any Indian to enjoy the atmosphere. I noticed to shabby things in sea. Location just infront of Taj. Crowd use to eat stuff and throw the waste in sea. Have a look at below pic :

World Environment Day 2009!

Mahendra — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:32:00 +0000

The day was June 5th ! We had environment day celebration at office. We had a small kiosk rather just a gardener with handful of small plants for selling. The guy was illerate and wasn’t even knowing names of the plant. Every time we ask something .. he always said,”saab, ye accha hai.. ye bhi lo”
Every plant was prices based on how much it has grown and the quality, health of plant. It was average ranging up to 100 bucks.
I took the below one :

2 days later, we have celebration of “vad savitri pornima” .. where Ladies- married women tag a thread around tree and ask for blessing for god of tree for their husband …
I came across a tree which they use to ask for blessing. It was a small brank of tree somebody brought after cutting from tree.. It was shame of human being to ask blessing from almost dead tree .. what a culture we follow. Can’t we save some of geniun plants, trees and our nature to avoid such situation.

So .. its must for all of us to observe World Environment Day !!!
Save nature ! before it ends !!!

Beautiful memories of school

Mahendra — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:34:00 +0000

It was almost 8 years, I left the school. Havn’t seen those blue & white uniforms. Regular morning PT with Mulik sir. Vestle still bangs my head. That was final wake up call we had. Still remembers the orders and school bells bangs in head. Dangerous style beating. Specially TPJ (Tejerao Jadhav sir, Hon’s in Maths), Prasad sir (English). We use tremble on entering class roon which was labeled as “English Lab”. Guys, can u believe, subject like English too have the laboratory. There were pics of many old authors, poets,etc. Including Shakesphere, HG Wells, Williams Wordworth, bla bla. Who the hell remembers the names of those oldies who wrote those bullshit poems and we need to mug them all.

I reached the school at noon. The only person known to me was Kumbhar mama. I called,”Kai Kumbhar mama, olakhale ka? (Kumar mama, did you recognized me?)
I was damm sure, the old guy must have forgotan things 8 years back.
Mama yelled,”Kai Tipale, tula kai watale. Topi, chashma ghalun aala mhanaje zale ka.. ha ha ha” (What you think, by wearing, spectacle and cap , u ‘ll fool me.. Tipale I remember you very well…)
To my surprise and happyness. “Thanks god… somebody still knows me here “

I visited the whole school. Took pics of those classroom, where we got punishments, got sticks on buttocks, that huge 10 acres ground, where we toiled daily PT (physical training) under honorable command of Mulik sir, that main notice board with very first name “Mahendra Tipale 80.80% , batch pass percentage 95.20%” … pic attached.

Mr Piraji Watole and his Story!

Mahendra — Fri, 22 May 2009 08:17:00 +0000

I was traveling to Parbhani last week. Full rush, some how managed to get a place. Bus stopped at Manjalgoan tehsil. The person from window shouted to keep his handkerchief on empty space next to me. Actually, its custom in buses to reserve your seat in rush hours, typical for State transport buses. I observed same is being followed to book your seat in restaurants in Singapore too.

The guy in late 20s, displined accent, like a teacher came to the place. I was watching around. Somehow I started to discuss, Where are you from, what do u do? Etc

Guys from small family, who could do medical graduation due to poor economy. He had caste certificate of ST to get admission to some good college. He was a teacher and was teaching some basic subject in primary school near tehsil place. I shared my details with him. Told him I ‘m traveling to Navodaya Vidyalaya, Basmathnagar. I’m 2001 pass out from that school. Surprisingly, he too was from Navodaya Vidyalaya, Nanded. Located at Shankarnagar.

In fact, we had some of common friends from Shankarnagar. We started discussing how, when and what?

He was senior to me by 2 years. He did his graduation and now trying to get admission for Bed. Which will help him to get in to professors job at some higher secondary school. Being only source of earning for family. He was too busy with family stuff. Piraji also told, his motto is to clear MPSC exam to join civil services for Maharashtra state. We both hate the politics and politicians, so had good thought about things around. The day was deciding day for Politician as it was polling day.

Most interesting fact was he shared his email id. Actually, he had recently purchased a laptop and so he thought to have email id. He asked his friend to open one for him. It was pirajiwanole@yahoo.com . Along with email id, he also shared his mobile number and told me, my password is my mobile number .. ha ha ha … wohchh.. i told him this is suppose to be secret man! Dont tell anybody about your password.

Bus stopped at Dhalegoav, small village based on bank of river Godavari. Its famour for Bhel. Most of buses stop here for break. One of Piraji’s friend met. He offered us a glass of lussy (thick butter milk with Kaju, Badam-Almonds). It was great. We proceeded the journey. We had long talks on education system, working of systems, etc, etc

Felt happy to meet such a struggling person .
