Malayalam typing made easy with Google IME

January 7th, 2010 by Sunil

For the couple of year back, it was very hard to type Malayalam on computers. For generating a single character we need to use combination of keys in some Malayalam softwares.  It is very hard to remember the combination keys and it is time killing.

Earlier, Google has started Google transliteration for web interface.  So it is very easy to type Malayalam in  Blogger, Gmail, Knol, Orkut etc. Now Google has released a standalone software which you can download and install on your machine.  So even if you don’t have internet connection you can type Malayalam.

It is quite interesting and it is a chance to general public to understand the science little more closely. The entry to the exhibition hall is free.

BSNL Broadband and new connection settings (Multi Play)

December 12th, 2009 by Sunil

Last couple of week I was busy with personal things and I could not open my home PC. Last Thursday I checked the home PC and realised that the Internet connection was not available. I checked the modem and Internet settings. It was perfect and I couldn’t able to find any problem.

I complained that day itself and didn’t get any response. Next day I rushed to BSNL office and asked the person who is in charge of the broadband. He said he has to check the modem. I gave the modem and he changed something. He said it will work. I asked what was the problem. He said the connection settings were updated and gave me a print out with new connection settings.
