Job

Hi !

well.. it all started on 1st of June. I returned from exam. Probability and Statistics.. ashamed.. because of what I had done there and I knew am gonna fail for sure. Provided there is no Mumbai-University-Magic

I was thinking whats next.. a year drop for sure but can’t afford wasting an year.. so.. Job !

What I have right now as qualification is .. well.. pretty much.. Nothing ! I am still a commerce guy till I finish my MCA but I was confident that there will be something because I can code

I went to punetech.com/apply page once again. Had solved the challenge almost an year ago.. when friend showed it to me. Had done it in vb.net as well.. using interfaces and stuff.. and Haskell too !

I was browsing punetech.com contents and I noticed that gtalk widget on site started showing Navin as Away. Pinged him, got response really quick.. then had a little chat.. explained whats the problem.. what I want.. why I want etc.. He said fine.. send me your challenge code and resume.. Lets see..

HNotepad :: Haskell -> Gtk2Hs -> HNotepad ()

Hi !

this time went ahead with Gtk2 + Haskell [Gtk2Hs]. First GUI program… so.. thought to make simple Notepad

wasn’t a waste anyway.. learned quite a few things.

code might not be pure Haskellish.. but I’m slowly getting used to use Haskell..

This is how it looks -

and you can download source [.hs + glade file] from my skydrive or have a quick look at source on hpaste

Windows Search Index Reader

Hi !

Few days ago one of my good friends, Ishan lost alot of his data when his 1TB external hdd fell from desk. Sad

There are almost no chances of getting his data back. Today he found he had indexed his entire external hard disk on his computer….  fine, he can’t have his data back but there are some hopes to know what all he has lost !

I quickly derived a very simple app from Windows Search SDK code samples that lists all the entries in a DataGridView and gave him but it was pain to see whole file list in table. So made this thing.

It will also show indexed files in Explorer like view. Again, note that its just an index, not the true files. Its only to tell him what all was there so that he can try to get those things back from other sources

My first Haskell Adventure !

Hi !

I’ve been trying to spend some time with Haskell for long but college.. assignments … etc..were keeping me away. Finally got time + kick + excitement last night and decided to code something meaningful.
Thought to solve this challenge one more time > http://punetech.com/apply

Its quite simple. Read from input.txt [which is actually a twitter feed] > remove duplicate id entries > sort in descending order of Timestamp and save to output.txt.

Took pretty long time though. I was also reading relevant pages from RWH. had to read some things like Monads twice/thrice to understand. Then talking to folks in IRC #Haskell.. Still have to go through alot.

but it was fun. yeah! my first Haskell program that works as expected

here’s the code. It still requires alot of cleaning and will do that after posting this. but this is the final v1.0 that works. So wanted to share this one only

Yup ! I am here !
