Spy software, total stealth, local and remote monitoring

You can virtually spy on, control, monitor any windows based computer, located anywhere on this globe, in almost total stealth mode.
The first time I discovered this stealth monitoring spy software was in 2002, back then it was still in its infancy, it has evolved as one of the most killer and foolproof computer spying/monitoring tool.

Total Stealth Mode Function: This is scary but true, win-spy stealth monitoring software can function in total stealth mode. by total I mean,it will not appear in windows system tray, task manager, desktop or add/remove program.

Oh, I realized that if I start writing about each of the scary features it offers in details it will take me hours, so I will just give a snapshot of it here and you can see the rest at the official website of win-spy at : www.win-spy.com

Short list of features :

-Screen Shots.

Gaming Clans - living real in the virtual world. .

I am not new to the word clan but it was the first time I heard about the word "Gaming Clan". It's a term used to describe a group of people who connects to each other through some common game. They are from across the globe with all the diversities you can imagine.



I came across one such growing gaming clan called "Ministry of Defense", I was amazed to see that they maintain their own fully functional website for it's members.

The site for 'Ministry of Defense - gaming clan' has a profile section where each member can share their profile with the rest of the clan and the world. It also offers members only area for its 'registered only' members. You can see the profiles of wonderful 'M. O. D. - gaming clan' members here.

If you want to join M. O. D. (Ministry of Defense), as they call it, there is a separate section on the "Ministry of Defense - gaming clan" site, one can join the clan based on what games they play. Here is the link to 'Join M.O.D.' page.

It is so interesting to see how people live real life in the virtual world and form social networks.

Wireless credit card, wow

I came across this news headlines "Wells Fargo, Visa to offer consumers wireless credit card option"

The news detail goes like this :

"Wells Fargo & Co. is looking to give its credit card customers a way to pay for items at stores and restaurants with a wireless device through an agreement with Visa USA.

Wells Fargo is currently testing out Visa's mobile platform payment technology. Bank officials also are examining whether consumers would buy into the mobile service.. to read the full story go here.

The reason I am writing about this news article is that it got me totally confused. In India I have not yet witnessed any form of wireless credit card payment option. So, it was diffcult for me to imagine the it will work.

After spending a few minutes searching and filtering throug materials on wireless credit card processing, I realized that there are two diffirent things people might be talking when they say wireless. They might mean wireless or mobile. The news article got me confused because it uses wireless as well as mobile both terms in this sentence- "Wells Fargo is currently testing out Visa's mobile platform payment technology."

I am not sure If the article is talking about the wireless payment or the mobile payment option.

If you want to learn the difference between wireless and mobile payment options, I found this material to be useful http://www.merchantseek.com/mobile-credit-card-processing.htm.

I am still not sure if I got them right ;)

Ruby, Ruby on Rails, RoR and RadRails . .

For a couple of months now I have been reading about Ruby and Ruby on Rails also known as RoR.

During these few months I came across these new stuffs. I will just try to jot them down, as many as I can remember for now.

Ruby:
Rails:
Ruby on Rails (RoR):
InstantRail:
WeBrick:
Mongrel:
Eclipse:
RadRails:
Aptana:

I will try to give a brief desc. of all of these here in the simplest way possible :)

What is ruby ?
A dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.
source: www.ruby-lang.org

Its different from any other programming language, one must have a basic understanding of Ruby syntax and the Ruby way of programming before he can start developing application in Ruby on Rails. In simple words one can say that Ruby is the language used to write Ruby on Rails application.
--my words

Ruby is a pure object-oriented programming language with a super clean syntax that makes programming elegant and fun. Ruby successfully combines Smalltalk's conceptual elegance, Python's ease of use and learning, and Perl's pragmatism. Ruby originated in Japan in the early 1990s, and has started to become popular worldwide in the past few years as more English language books and documentation have become available.
source: Curt Hibbs @ http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html


What is Rails?
Rails is an open source Ruby framework for developing database-backed web applications.
What is Ruby on Rails?
source: Curt Hibbs @ http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html

What is Ruby on Rails?
Use of Ruby programming on Rails framework to develop web application is called Ruby on Rails.

What is InstantRails ?
If you want to start developing web applications in "ruby on rails" right away, InstantRail is the instant solution.
It has almost everything one needs to start developing a web application.

"Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby, Rails, Apache, and MySQL, all pre-configured and ready to run."
source:http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl

I wanted to write about all the terms that I mentioned above buut I realized that I am running out of time. I will write about them as soon as I get some time again for my this little blog.

If you are someone like me a few motnhs back, My suggestion will be to start with learning Ruby first. Its very important to be versed with Ruby programming syntax and structure.

So, go ahead, download the and install Ruby runtime from this one click installer http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/18566/ruby186-25.exe

grab a ruby book and start practising.
