One of the most flexible point being a bachelor is that you never need to really plan hard for anywhere you go or choose to stay for and here we did that again going to Fraser Hills with a very short span of plan just telephoned the hotel seeing it on web and asked for a flat to stay and that's all didn't plan anything packed up our bags with clothes, drinks & just raw chicken with hope of barbecuing after reaching there as its hill station and BBQ suits most there.
headed towards the Puduraya bus station hoping to get a direct bus to the hills and to our disappointment cant get a single direct bus connecting to that place and finally on enquiring to our surprise had couple of city buses connecting to that place and we all boarded into the city route bus.
Finally reached the place by evening and checked into our hotel rooms got freshed up and were out with our cameras snaping each other and the beautiful scenaries all around. Much to our surprise we had everything needed to BBQ available there and managed to cook the entire chicken that we took there and trust it really tasted good...didn't left a morsel of chicken.
After eating drinking slept heavy and woke up for the 2nd beautiful day at fraser hills amazed by the morning fog and feeling the chill in the weather headed for another round of photos. Later visited Jeriau Waterfalls had some good fun time there and headed back home with nearly 2GB of photos covering every minute thing of the entire trip. And yet again a safe and well executed trip guys....kudooooos

3. Many of the Internets popular websites use MySQL as there back end Database systems like Google, Facebook, YouTube & Flickr etc.
4. MySQL records on an average 50-70k downloads per day

This is an article about the speech of Apple's Co-Founder Steve Wozniak at Software AG's Innovation World 2008
Apple's co-founder recounted his fledgling career as a young computer programmer starting the company with present CEO Steve Jobs.
Wozniak said his beginnings as an engineer at Hewlett-Packard gave him access to resources such as hardware parts which he needed. He eventually had to leave HP, when he approached the company to help him make a line of personal computers but was turned down.
"They were a great big company, but couldn't stray from their ordinary line of business," said Wozniak. The personal computer product he had envisioned eventually became the popular Apple II.
Wozniak related how he encountered resistance from the HP engineers when he tried to share a method he had discovered, for working out a particularly error-prone equation. In spite of proving that his workaround would be faster and easier to help solve the equation, his colleagues could not switch to his new methodology, Wozniak said.
"People don't like change," he said.
The message he put forward, directed at Software AG's partners and developers present at the conference, highlighted that the path to being an innovator is understanding that one does not have to seek validation from everyone to achieve personal goals.
"You don't have to convince people to do everything like you. Do what you want to do--you have to know who you are," he said, adding that innovation is sometimes also "squeezed" out of a lack of resources.
"When you don't have a lot of money, you [want to] find out new and innovative ways to get the job done," he noted.
