Nice Journey

I went for marriage function of Vijayakumar on June 16th 2010 by Anantpuri Express. Marriage function went fine as like it is a political meeting presided by KKSSR. A musical troop praised Karunanidhi and their son more than the couples. If you guys would like to hear on the tunes of the troop praising the couples…you can reach ramkumar. After marriage, I thought of going back to rajapalayam and waited for bus @ Vembakottai. On college days, myself and Senthil will wait for Tamarai bus a long time there. Finally the bus for Rajapalayam came. On way back to rajapalayam, i passed through Alangulam, where I was born and brought up. It was a great feeling to pass through the places where I had my feet all over. But I could see peoples flooding on the Sankareswari Tea Stall @ alangulam. Maybe it could be for vadai with sambhar and chutney. But I could not spot any known faces there. Almost most of them working at Alangulam Tamilnadu Cements were retired. It was a great feeling to see the chimney of TamilNadu Cement factory which is pulling out the dust all times. The bus went through Keelarajakularaman and a childhood remembrance came to light. When doing 7th standard, my schoolmate Selvakumar S invited our schoolmates for a match with their native team. We travelled all through 7 km in bicycle. Atlast he fixed the stump @ ploughed land and return back with frustration. The bus passed through then Ayyanarpuram. When doing 10th standard while going to Rajapalayam, the bus was stopped at Ayyanapuram due to riot. I was gone to look what was happening there. As the police entered the scene, riots burst out. I had no choice other than running out of the spot. I along with my computer teaching staff, Senthilkumar was then running in fire with the fear that there should no attack on us. Everyone is running out of the spot. As the bus i was travelled return back and those who travelled inform my mom that i am missing, she started crying and gathered a gang between. I catched a bus atlast and reached rajapalayam and called home to inform I am safe. I was questioned and also scolded my many of my mom’s friend for being careless. When the bus crossed over Rajapalayam SBI stop, I find Manimekalai madam(my English madam) was walking aside. She was working in my school till i left out of it. I had a great schooling. I could name all my staff even now. But i dont really remember the names of all the staff who take my engineering subjects. Finally i booked ticket @ parveen travels. On the whole it was a nice journey figuring out the past things.

Why use equals() to compare strings in Java

Hi All,

Many might aware of the reason to use equals() method in Java string comparison. Let me summarize the reason behind using it. I once tried to write a simple java program to compare both strings in java using double equals operator(==). I assigned value to the first variable as “Hello” and to the next variable i assigned the value as like “Hel” + “lo”. I then compared both the variable using double equals operator(==). As everyone expects, I too think that it goes through the equals condition. But it went to non-equal condition loop. I went on to search for the reason with google. Let me write the code snippet of it

String firstName = “Mahesh” ;

String lastName = “Mah”+”esh” ;

if(firstName==lastName) {

System.out.println(“Equals”);

}

else {

System.out.println(“Not Equals”);

}

OUTPUT: Not Equals

The reason behind failing of String comparison using double equals operator is it looks for the reference value. Hence for string comparison you should use only equals() or equalsIgnoreCase()

Search unmodified files list over a period of time in Linux

Hi All,
Recently I went through an article about linux. I was searching for an information to get the files that were not modified for certain number of days. Most often i used to do every action through command line. Unfortunately i was not able to find the command for such task in Windows. I turned my attention towards linux if that can be possible to list out all the files that are not modified under a folder for certain days. I had a long time interest to learn Linux always. Recently I requested for a Free CD from Ubuntu and i received Ubuntu 9.10 CD. I installed linux on my personal laptop. On going through various blogs, finally i was able to search for files not modified for specific days. Here is the following command

find /home/enpysoft/npselvan -type f -atime +10 -exec ls -ultr {} \;

Where /home/enpysoft/npselvan is the file path and 10 refers to the number of days. If anyone knows a command to do the same in Windows operating system, reply here.

Thanks in Advance.
