Tableau and Me!

Data always excites me and in last 3-4 years I got fascinated by the beautiful work of visualization tools. I always loved playing with excel based analysis but it was a cumbersome job to create charts and graphs out of Excel. It became a cake-walk once tools like Qlik and Tableau took over the market.

I too interest in Tableau and it wen to an extent that I have now decided to build a career in Tableau. I was particular impressed with its integration with R, another powerful tool. I went on to clear the Desktop 9 certification and registered for Tableau 10 beta testing.

I want to work a lot i Tableau and try to find and solve problems for mankind. For this it is essential to meet like minded people and I feel Total Tableau Engineers Group is the best place to be. I am excited to join this group and contribute to solving all kinds of problems based on data.

जगाच्या पाठीवर

आज जगाच्या पाठीवर हा चित्रपट बघण्यात आला. त्यातला एक धागा सुखाचा हे गीत बघितलं. जुन्या गाण्यांना खूप अर्थ होता.

एक धागा सुखाचा, शंभर धागे दुःखाचे 
जरतारी हे वस्त्र माणसा, तुझिया आयुष्याचे || ध्रु ||
पांघरसी जरी असला कपडा, येसी उघडा, जासी उघडा
कपड्यासाठी करिसी नाटक , तीन प्रवेशांचे || १ ||
मुकी अंगडी बालपणाची, रंगित वसने तारुण्याची 
जीर्ण शाल मग उरे शेवटी, लेणे वार्धक्याचे ! || २ ||
या वस्त्राते विणतो कोण ? एक सारखी नसती दोन
कुणा न दिसले त्रिखंडात त्या, हात विणकऱ्याचे || ३ ||

Browsing....

I have recently started liking google chrome. It is much better in terms of response as compared to traditional IE flavours. I also have an iPod Touch and I want google chrome for iPod touch also. I was searching for it and suddenly went into the memory lane

1999:-

It was the first time I came across the 3 Ws (World Wide Web). It was sometime in around Jun-July. I experienced how do web pages look like. And i can not forget it either. Because we started connecting using a dial-up modem probably around 9 PM or so and we could connect only after trying for almost a couple of hours. The download was so fantastic that we could get the first page only in 5 minutes (I guess it was Yahoo's Home Page). Too much patience we had...

It was the same year I created my first email id on rediff.com. It was psujay99@rediffmail.com :-)

2000:-

It was my second year of engineering. And I came to know one of these weirdest browsers. A text based browser on Unix operating system (Yes... yes... a text based browser, i know it is hard to believe but ya its true). The browser called Lynx. 

It was fun working on the browser. Mouse was useless in this browser. It was all keyboard show. But that actually helped me. Keyboard usage is more productive than mouse usage. 

2001:-

After going through pain of text browser (ya its pain sometimes..) I got to see the GUI version of web browser, I think it was IE 4.0 or 5.0. And it was my third year of engineering.

2006:-

Thing did not changed so much but in this year I got exposed to multi-tab browser e.g. Mozilla FireFox. It was quite faster than IE and the multi tab feature kept the things very tidy.

2007:-

Again nothing much changed but I went to US and I experienced some of the fastest Internets ever. I mean if I wanted to watch a charismatic Tendulkar Innings or some episode of laughter show uploaded on YouTube in India, it was next to impossible. The video streaming was an impossible thing. However I could watch India beating Australia in Australia or IPL final or T20 final live on Internet in US.

2008:-

And then came a moment when i bought iPod touch. And I was online using the palm top. When I was coming back from on site, I had a stop in Dubai and then I used the free Wi-Fi on Dubai Airport to log onto google talk and chat with my family. It was a unforgettable moment. I know Wi-Fi came on scene quite earlier, and I was quite late to use it, still it was a fascinating moment. 

Well, I started in 2009 and went down the memory lane. I am again back in 2009.

People keep on talking about evolutions of thousands of types. It's a nice feeling that I am witnessing one. :-)

See you next time. Till then Keep Browsing

After a long time...

Its been a long time that I have blogged. Last time when Tendulkar broke Lara's record. I was busy with office work, precisely, certifications. Now I am kinda of free because I need not bother about them at least for six months. 

However I keep on browsing and surfing and suddenly today i found an interesting thing. WhoIsHostingThis.com Well some of you must have guessed already about the site, but its interesting to actually visit the site and check the results.

CNN takes note of Tendulkar's record

I have hardly seen CNN publishing cricket news on their website. But they have take a note of Tendulkar's record of highest runs in Test Match cricket. Check it out
