We have Apple Fans, we have Android fans its a never ending discussion and raging battle between the two OS. Some people just love Apple for one or the other reason and some people are Android lovers for its open source nature and other facts attached to it.
As per the infographic below Android will surpass Apple in August 2012, will it? It's for us see. It also mentions 99.6 million smart phones were sold in first quarter of 2011 (may be its 2012), still its a staggering number. Other interesting data is Facebook added 45 million mobile users in 6 months, for all other details run your eyes through this infographic :

Git is a  free & open source, distributed version control system which can be used for projects of any size and complexity. I have been using git for more than past 2 and half years, you can even see my github and I find git essential for most of the projects I have been involved in. If there are multiple developers (be it one developer and one front end developer) you should consider using git. It is a developer's best friend and even helps you go back to history and see how your code/website looked like may be 2 months back (provided you do regular commits).

Git was developed by Linus Travolds yes the guy who coded linux kernel. He says "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git." May be true but git is free and a great tool to have in your development tool set. Git is more for the command line person so its not very easy to get started with windows. Now using the Msysgit you can git yourself quite easily in windows, so the slides below may be the icebreaker you were looking for to start git in window. (I am using windows 7 - 64 bit)


(function() { var scribd = document.createElement("script"); scribd.type = "text/javascript"; scribd.async = true; scribd.src = "http://www.scribd.com/javascripts/embed_code/inject.js"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })();

I hope this helps you to get started with git on windows. http://geshan.blogspot.com - Geshan's Blog

Just after a week the government has again reduced load shedding, I hope it reduces the petrol products prices as well (if they don't we have banda from tomorrow, it seems). The news read that the decision comes due to some water reserved in one of the hydro power projects and in view of the S.L.C coming soon (what great reasons). Anyways below is the lad shedding schedule effective from 5-Mar-2012 for Kathmandu, Nepal.


And the experimental table (makes my life easy)

And for the ones who want it as released by NEA:


Jai Nepal !!! Always against load shedding. http://geshan.blogspot.com - Geshan's Blog

After some good news of an incumbent minister getting jailed for corruption first time in Nepal lets hope Nepal sees better days like this. But I have read some recent news which are not really positive as such. Another good news is load shedding is decreasing and its 10 hrs / day now, the new schedule is below:

Jai Nepal !!! May load shedding decrease day by day and come to 0 hrs/day. http://geshan.blogspot.com - Geshan's Blog

May be its the rain, may be its nothing. Whatever the case the load shedding in Kathmandu, Nepal has been reduced in negligible amount. Still its 12 hours per day without electricity. The new schedule effective from 13 February 2012 is given below:
You can veiw the live load shedding schedule below:

Update Just saw this video by Lamps Nepal, may be the government will listen (but it will be music to deaf ears I sense).
