Spurthi visit ....

Yesterday we visited spurthi foundation, is an organization for underprivileged childrens located near ECIL, Hyd. We are planning from last 1 month, atlsat yesterday we did this along with KSN,Pavan,Arvind & family. Actually Pavan was donating from past few years with his childhood friends. This visit not personal one, we went there as part of company social giving program. This is my first visit to this kind of organizations. Kids painted building walls very well, ofcourse they had taken google team help, but superbly painted...liked it..!! We distributed pens,pencils, chocolates and had taken some snaps with kids. We spent 2 hours there and kids taken us to show all thier rooms, library, ..etc. lastly they presented hand made diyas to all of us.

Adding Quick Launch view to Taskbar in windows 7

2 days back my system formatted with windows 7 due to audio drivers issue. I don't like the win7 default Taskbar look. Some time back I adjusted taskbar as I liked, but I forgot the procedure. A quick googling I got the tips to re organize the taskbar. For future purpose I am posting the steps to adding Quick Launch ..

1. Right click on Taskbar and choose Toolbars and click on New Toolbar
2. in folder line paste the following path %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
3. Click on Select Folder button
4. Now you have Quick Launch bar in your Taskbar.

 You can adjust the Quick launch in taskbar as you prefer by unlock the taskbar.

Are you thinking Y 3389 as default RDP port?? Lets chage it ..!!

To do this we need little bit knowledge on windows registry. If you are not aware of registry just follow my steps blindly.
1. Goto Registry Editor (Ctrl+R and type regedit).
2. Find the PortNumber registry subkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
3. On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal.
4. Type the new port number, and then click OK.
5. Quit Registry Editor.
6. Restart the computer.

Dont complain me about these steps are copied .. Yes it is copied from MSDN. here is the link change RDP default port

Generate MD5 hash to a given string -- java

Yesterday I had a requirement to compute MD5 hash for a particular string to validate in my code. A quick googling I got lot of sources. Here I am posting the code which I worked out.

public class MD5Hash {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
String md5Hash = MD5("Give String");
System.out.println("MD5 hash is : " + md5Hash);
} catch(Exception e) {
//TODO: Nothing
}
}

private static String convertToHex(byte[] data) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < halfbyte =" (data[i]">>> 4) & 0x0F;
int two_halfs = 0;
do {
if ((0 <= halfbyte) && (halfbyte <= 9))
buf.append((char) ('0' + halfbyte));
else
buf.append((char) ('a' + (halfbyte - 10)));
halfbyte = data[i] & 0x0F;
} while(two_halfs++ < 1);
}
return buf.toString();
}

private static String MD5(String text) throws Exception {
MessageDigest md;
md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
byte[] md5hash = new byte[32];
md.update(text.getBytes("iso-8859-1"), 0, text.length());
md5hash = md.digest();
return convertToHex(md5hash);
}
}
