my great grandma used to call me bosky. she could never twist her tongue for roxy. roxy comes from persian roxanne meaning dawn. pals used to call me all sorts, roskie, sexy, foxy, rocky whatever mutations and i lent my ear to all of them. so this rocksea came in between like a brand name, suited my profession and sounded like my name as well. once, i remember when i was 14, i cried cuz i didnt like my name and demanded it shud be changed. now itz fun playing with it.

saps adopt a child

Posted by rocksea on 13 Feb 2006 | Category: pages

On what we can do. The idea is still in its preliminary stages.

Excerpt from the first email.

Talking more about the group, let me tell some feasible and beneficial ideas. Most of us are in touch or in reach by an email or phone call. We’re a previleged group in such a developing country like India. Why don’t we collect a small fund or smtg from among those who’ve settled with some jobs? Shouldn’t be a compulsory one. With such a fund we can do smtg like adopt (not techinically) a child, i.e. we provide a 100Rs per month (itz low but easy for start) towards education/dress/books for a child. If just 12 people put a 100 Rs per year such a thing is possible. May be it looks an ugly idea (is it so ) now but it would be worthy in the long run, as we grow. Other benefits are: satisfaction of doing something, to have a child of our own, bettering the world, some use of the money we consume every month, future investment, etc etc

Supporters so far: (Physically / Intellectualy / Financially or in whatever ways one can help it)

Do you support? If so please mail to saps or comment here or email me.

  • Herez how we can do the financial part:
    1.make a paypal account for those who can put anything thru credit 
    2.open a bank account in Kerala (litty :D ) for others.
  • For the working out part we have to do detailed study on how we should utilize it and where when etc. may be this should be done before collecting any funds and the plan laid out.

We’re still studying on the idea and it may take time. Meanwhile, here is a wonderful documentation/statistics on the state of the world’s children 2006 by UNICEF to chew on. Excluded and Invisible, State of the World’s Children 2006 (pdf, 3 mb)

Services at Hokudai

Posted by rocksea on 27 Jan 2006 | Category: pages

Following Computer related services are carried out at Hokkaido University:

Data Recovery

At hokudai we students are handling a lot of data, notes, thesis, materials. It may happen that one friday your computer stops responding or you lost some precious files. Can something be done? Yes!

  • One day you restart the computer and you see a blank screen staring at you! You’re not able to boot your PC. Such a situation is not so rare. Most likely the failure is due to the MBR (a record having the basic structure of ur pc) getting corrupted. In most of the cases, it is possible to recover your system to its previous stage.
  • One of your drives/partitions just disappeared and you don’t know what to do. Or you got some data deleted accidently. It is possible to retrieve this data from your pc. Just make sure that you don’t do anything on the pc after you deleted it as that may erase the traces forever.

Operating System Management

  • Partitioning. You have only a C drive. You want to make D, E, F, G, .. drives.
  • Dual boot system. You want to install Windows and Linux both on the same system. You need to transfer files between both these operating systems.
  • You want to run certain windows applications in Linux.

Email

  • Backup/Restore email. Your studies are over and you’re leaving but you want to take the emails saved in your Outlook. Or you are changing your pc and your want to transfer the mails
  • You’re using windows and linux in the same system and you want to access your Outlook mails in windows when you are booted in linux.

Website

  • Launch a website for yourself? Not a bad idea! Could be done at nominal costs. Anyways, can’t teach you on how to make website, html etc. Only installation related services.

Classes

  • Sorry, no classes due to lack of time. Yet if so necessary a few tips can be given if you have some basic idea on things.

Fee: Low cost. From 500 yen onwards (Even that bicycle repair shop facing my lab asks 1000 yen for a puncture sticker), depending on the technical info involved + time. You can bring the laptop to my lab. If you want me to come to your lab, 500 yen extra. Of course if you are short of money, services will be free.

Time: Any time other than when I’m sleeping (now thatz difficult to tell!)

Other:
All these services for windows english versions. Can try for japanese/chinese versions but not guaranteed.

Contact: rocksea-at-gmail.com or 090 2053 2979. Email preferred.
