FireBug is a must for web-development

FireBug is really a cool Addon.
You can inspect the web pages and debug the javascript with breakpoints within the Mozilla browser. I have been using this addon for an year so far...
It shows even the html source code for the objects created dynamically through javascript. You cannot see the dynamically generated code through View source of web page.

You get download the addon from
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1843/
If you develop any web applications using javascript, FireBug is a must...

Medical Profession

Medical profession is one of the valuable profession and at the same time, it is one of the profession that cannot be validated by the end user...

When I go to a doctor, I cannot figure out how good he is in his profession.
We can come to know only when we recover back from the illness.
We never know whether the doctor prescribed right dose of medicine or prescribed over-dose of medicine...

There are viral diseases which takes long time to recover...,
There are life time diseases which needs continuous medical treatment...,
There are diseases which needs surgery with 50% - 50% chances of success...

Whatever the level of the treatment, quality of the treatment, or outcome of the treatment, the money reaches the pockets of the doctors...

Which button to press?

While waiting for the lift, I have seen quite a few people pressing the wrong button.
When you want to go up (say from ground floor to 3rd floor), you need to press "^" button.
It means that you want to go up. For the same, I have seen few people pressing "v" button, which is wrong.

Indian Rupees Vs US Dollars

In the recent days, Value of Indian rupee is rising over the US Dollar.
It is good one way - Indian currency value is going up :)
It is bad one way - Lots of traders, employees getting affected because of the decrease in exchange rate :(

Whatever the consequences are, Should the government support this and appreciate the rise of Indian currency value or should it act to stop the rise?

Indian Provident Fund Organization...

Last week, I received the PF statement, which was distributed by the office Guys.
You know what, that PF statement is for the 2004-2005 Financial year.
Today's date is Nov 8th, 2007. They are distributing this statement almost 2.5 years late.
It is very shame to see that it has not changed yet, can we still say that India is a developing country??? If things are like this, when will this country become a developed country???

At least the PF organization should cope with the attrition rate in the Indian IT industry... sigh...

I am surprised to see a site for the PF organization (http://epfindia.nic.in/)
I clicked on the "Know your Claim Status" link and selected Karnataka as state, it thrown an error "

The resource cannot be found.
