First Day Experience when time is one hour ahead

Today was the first day on DST timing system. It was little bit confusing for the people of Bangladesh. Today I walk up at 07:00 o’clock and when I saw the outside I felt that it is not that much shiny here. After a few times remembered that it is 1 hour ahead now. At 10:00 I again forgot and felt that, the sun is not that much shiny today and again when got that I thought that, it would be pretty difficult to adjust with this. Main interesting thing was happened on my lunch time. Normally I take my at 14:00 hours when I am in home. But accordingly to new system the time would be 15:00. But I can’t able to wait till that time . That means I took my lunch at 14:15. The prayer time has increased one hour also. But I heard the azan of ASAR at 17:00, which done mistacally by the Muazzin. Lastly, I feel the when the sun sets it was 20:00 hours and I was thinking, “how is it possible at 18:00 it just sun sets?” Today I went to Kamalapur for taking an important document of me, which was coming by the train. The right time of the train is 20:00 hours and normally it arrives 20:30 hours and according to the new DST system it also supposed to be reached at that time. But it has come 21:30, may be the railway is following the old time :O . I am a type of boy who follows early to bed and early to rise. Normally I go to bed at 10:00-11:00pm. It is now 11:00 pm and still I don’t feel that much sleep on my eye. At last, I would like to say that, I am supporting this system very much, because it is good for my type people who follows early to bed and early to rise .

Instruction of using BTCL dial up internet service..

I am using dial up internet service since 2007 and for that I used internet cards and these are provided by different ISPs. Yesterday I went to BTCL Maghbazar office and there I found that they provided a type of dial up service which is very friendly for the user I think. Here I give the details for using the BTCL dial up internet service.
BTCL has two type of internet service.

1. Standard Service
2. Premium Service

Here the details…..

Standard Service: For using this internet people have to fill up a form like all government office. This is very traditional and disturbing. I don’t support to use this internet service.

Rates: 40 paisa/min (peak hour)
30 paisa/min (offpeak hour)
and for every hit it takes 1.5 taka

The main interesting thing is that, for this internet service BTCL provide another bill which is not included with telephone bill.

Premium Service: This is the best dial up internet  service I think. Just put the hunting number , user name, password and you are connected… And you don’t need to registered. In other hand, I think it is cheaper than other dial up services. So at first let see the rates..

Rates: 15 paisa/min (peak hour -08am-08pm)
10 paisa/min (off peak hour-08pm-08am and govt.  holiday)
and no money reduction for every hit.

And now let go to the main place how to connected in this internet service…

Access (Hunting) Code:  0101234,  Username: btcl,  Password: btcl

These are all about the connectivity of BTCL dial up service..

Be sure that for this connection you need to have a modem..

May be I am starting Bangla Blogging…

Yesterday I have attended a program which was organized by prothom-aloblog. That was a very interesting program I think. I am little bit introvert type of guy and don’t want to talk by myself with other’s. And here I feel that everyone talks with everyone even me also. This event organized for giving the gift to story and poem writter and another part is for the book summary. One of my friends Sheriff Al Sire got a prize in the story writing event and for this reason I went there. I met with a lot of Bangla bloggers there and everyone feel proud that they are blogger . In introducing part everyone said their name, blogging name and their occupation. And the astonished thing is that, everyone know each other by their blogging name which is not possible in wordpress. This is a big community and it is appreciable. Unfortunately, I don’t have any account in prothom-aloblog, that’s why I couldn’t able to gave my blog name. But I like this community and that’s why think I shall open an account in prothom-aloblog.

What Banglalink is actually doing….

I am a regular Banglalink sim user, that means I alltime using Banglalink since 2007. But recently some of there decision make me astonished or I am little bit confused that what they are doing? I realized that, recently the call rate is become higher than ago. Some of there work make me angry also. For example, Banglalink has a monthly bonus based on callback on that phone and that bonus minutes are only usable for the other operators only. But few months ago, I realized that it doesn’t work for the other operator’s and it only work for the this network only. And they did this work without any announcement. Now, in this month I am seeing that, the bonus minutes don’t come yet and I think that this will not come. Because they are doing this kind of things before without announcement. And now my question is that, how they can do this kind of change by avoiding the valuable customer(according to them)? I see that, they send the messages to every customer when they create a new offer, but they don’t need to send any messages to the customer for any change. As customer, I must need to know what change will be there. They made big big add for new offer, they care the customers. But the real word is that, this all are show up…and fake…

A day with PhpXperts

Last Saterday(16.05.2009) a seminar was organized by the group phpXperts, which is the most popular technical group in Bangladesh. This group is for the web developers and also who are interested in web developing. This time the title of the seminar was “Recent Development Trends” and a lot of curious experts attended there. I am also little bit curious on the web development and that’s why I attend there. There eight lectures was presented and some of them I liked. Actually I liked the first three presentations. I think other presentations are little bit upper level than me. The first presentations was on “How to become a ninja in Php”. That means how to become good developer in php programming. This title was presented by Emran bhai and the total presentation was easy to catch and very helpful for the new developers. Second presentation topic was “Facebook Application Development” and presented by Junal bhai. It is also very easier to get. Actually his slides are very easy to get and from there I got that facebook application development is not harder. Third one is on the “jquery”. Before this presentation I thought that jquery is very hard to catch. But the presentation style of Anis bhai and his slides made it very easier to the experts. The another topic I understood, “How to become a ZCE” presented by Mahmud bhai. But I Hasin bhai make me frustated. His topic is too much higher level to understand me. But some of the information he gave was interesting to me. For example, a google buy 0.5 million server per year, facebook has more than 200 million user etc. The other topics I didn’t felt any interesting thing. Security is one topic, but I don’t think about it . Another one is on Ecommerce, this one I also didn’t feel any interest and another is on Quality. I think that, no enjoyed it . It was already declared there .

By the way, whatever learned by attending there,  seminar that is main thing and meet with experts of Bangladesh. Wish this kind of event will held regularly.

Tour of unknown archeological places of Bangladesh

Last month(April 17,2009) I with a lot of senior and junior friends of IUB Engineering Department went for an outing. We went to two Jamidar Bari(Landlord Palace) and these are  Baliadi Palace and another is Pakutia. These are very unknown archeological places of Bangladesh. And the information of these hidden places, we got from our Director of School of Engineering and Computer Science(SECS) Dr. Maohammed Anwer. Actually he organized this outing and also work as a guide of this tour.

• Baliadi Palace

This palace is situated in Baliadi under Saturia thana in Manikgonj. It is a very specticular place. Actually it is difficult to find these kind of place at this kind of place. This place is consist of seven buildings and the structure of  these buildings are amusing and it has a pond which has seven ghats, that’s why the name of this pond is satghata dighi. Actually the history was in that palace seven brothers lived and for that it has seven buildings and for their wives they made the pond which had seven ghats. This place is now is taken by archeological department and they take care of it..

• Pakutia Jamidarbari

Now it is used as a college. The name of this college is Pakutia BCRG Degree College. It is 8km away of Baliadi palace and situated in Tangail :O. The structure of this palace is also good. It has a big field and we played different types of games there.

These outing is arranged for having a good program organized by CECS which is called Bangla Utshab. After having a lot of masti in whole days, we back to home at the evening. I must thank those for whose the Bangla Utshab successfully completed and thanks to Anwer Sir to organize this different types of tour.

Celebration of Pohela Boishakh in a suburb

Actually this is too much late for writing this kind of topic. But I have to write it because I found it different from other time. This year in pohela boishakh I was in my home Dewangonj,  Jamalpur and I found that it changed there on celebration of pohela boishakh. It is celebrated everywhere, but in different way.

I came Dhaka at 2004 from my place. Before 2004 I didn’t find any celebration to the people. Just only a rally was organized by Zeal Bangla Sugar Mills High School. But now, in this year I found that everyone is enjoying the Pohela Boishakh. From bazar I informed that, there sells rate is over that any puja or eid this time. It become pretty defficult for a person to stay out from the home in that morning, because of the spreading of the color. In every corner of the road the boys were waiting for spreading it. But in afternoon the day change to other color. The girls come from home and everyone wore the boishakhi sharee which didn’t ever seen like this way in my area.

At last it can be said that, Boishakhi Utshab is becoming the part of every bangladeshis. Whatever I saw this time that, it is celebrated more than the eid or puja. How is it spreading like this way. Is it for the terrorism? Yes, I think this one is a silent attack for the terrorism. Live long Pohela Boishakh like this way……………

Hello May…

After about one month again I am starting to write on my blog and it is May.  IUB sucks me this one month. I didn’t find any day where I didn’t have any academic activities, exams, presentations ufffffffff. At last I safe from it. Already on a previous post I wrote that, this will be my worst semester and yes, it is becoming my most worst semester in my IUB life. Actually I don’t understand why this is happening. Is it my problem or the problem of instructor……. By the way, I completed all of my exams yesterday and it takes two days more than the scheduled time. This is first time I am eagerly wanted that when the exam will completed. Actually, mind is not supporting to read. It is all time saying when it is  completed. Most probably this were my last written exams. Because, next semester I sit on a course which is experinmental based. And now the time to find out the intern…Can anyone give the intern on a good post in a mobile operator company. I need to learn something technical from there, not data entry..

Bangla Utshab

First time in Independent University,Bangladesh(IUB) celebrated Bangla Utshab organized by Club of Engineering and Computer Science(CECS). IUB is a private and also an English medium university. According to the people’s of Bangladesh, they think that private university students follow the western culture and they avoid the bangla culture. In other hands, people think that, engineers are not creative and they don’t have any connection with the world without educational purposes. Both of these two sides we want to prove that, private university students all time follow the bangla culture and engineers are creative. This program is totally bangla program and all the words will be use in bangla. We have a lot of events here and think that most interesting thing will be the funny debate, drama.For update about the program please visit here .

The event will be held on 5th April, 2009 Sunday.

Venue: Ground Floor(C-8),
School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS),
Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB)
Road: 14/2-A, Baridhara North Road,
Baridhara, Dhaka.

the day of storm has started

The stormy day has started. From the day before yesterday it started and the hot weather is becoming cool. The first day’s rain was very cool. It had the ice with it and the length of the rain was also long. Beside it also create some problems. When the rain was started, the electricity was gone and five hours later it has come back. And now I am thinking about that, if it is happen in the city, what is the situation in other part of Bangladesh. Now I am comparing the storm between my village and the city. I spent my most significant time in the suburb and the house where I lived it had the tin made roof. It was really enjoyable to heard the sound of the rain and the other thing is that, in this time a lot of mango is found on the tree and they are dropped from the tree for the storm. We went to collect it just after the storm, some peoples were collect it in the storm time. As a result all time I found a few amount of mango . Other thing is that, the result of this kind of storm is found in this kind of area…after the storm we saw that a lot of trees size become unsize…..But from it is difficult to find and it is not so much enjoyable from Dhaka.
