Bright Future

Exit polls indicate a simple majority for NDA. And good performance by BJP.  People wanted a change. People voted for change. Now, people have to work for change.
I was interested in exercising. My brother ordered Bullworker by parcel during school days. He also bought dumbells from market. Over the years I discovered that spiritual balance can be brought out only by exercises.
I was always a reader. I remember being a member of four libraries during my school days. But now, I find music more interesting. Currently I listen to web direct music; thanks to Nokia Mix Radio. However, I like reading economic news. I read Economic Times and mobile Mint everyday.
I am reasonably religious. I am reasonably good in music. Film music interests me. Younger music directors are quite good. I enjoy their music.
The reason I wrote about exit polls and about myself is because one has to give positive contribution to the new government.

My attempt at a Windows phone App:-




 
There are readymade templates available. These have to be filled with right information.    
 
Nokia 720 having Windows Phone 7.1. Look at the background. There is an image !!
 
 
Below are the snapshots of Storyteller Apps in my laptop. You may observe my cartoons from my cartooning site. Also you may observe my dafli video posted on Youtube. Dafli video has been made using Youtube template in designer with search conditions "dafli+percussion".

 
Below is the snap taken from Nokia 1520 of my Nokia 720 having Cortana. Cortana is the yellow rectangle around the corner of the screen. She gives instruction in speech. You may observe that phone tile is missing. This is because it may not be needed as AI instructs about phone and I felt tile is not needed because of this. Also observe the background image.
 
Below is the status of my Lumia 720.

 
This is how my Nokia Lumia 720 looks like at present. Notice the Cortana tile.
 
The final position of my Nokia Lumia 720. No SIM. But as long as VoIP is there, using Nokia Lumia 720 this way is no way morally wrong.
 
Nokia 1520 is my regular phone now. I bought a Bose headset with Bluetooth from Reliance shop. Nokia 1520, Nokia Mix Radio and Bose goes just too good together . . .
 
 
The latest position of Lumia 720 is as below. Cortana is still unavailable in India. I was trying for evaluation purposes. It was enabled by changing region to US and not India. Now I have disabled Cortana. Region is India. Also, the access point was configured at last. The internet works, now, in Lumia 720. Hence the news section tiles.
Lumia 720 as on 30th June 2014.

Blogs as personal pages

You can set permissions so that only blog author can see. This way blog can be made as personal database.

Opinions please, Destination Infinity, SM, B

I suspect Indian networks do not allow XML containing anything else but ASCII text, on a personal app. But as a RSS feed, yes.

Kirtivasan Ganesan said...

I made an app for Windows phone. I was able to get RSS feeds dynamically.
Instagram, Flickr personal accounts and tags not working at all. Mine is Dolphin(MTNL) connection. Facebook works for some tags.
Then this idea of Blogs as personal database clicked. It would be RSS feeds. And personal also.

nicely done

Thanks, sm.

Another thing,sm. I got developer license. I have made my Nokia 720 Windows 8.1. Also, I have developed Storyteller(the above app) app for laptop having Windows 8.1 and have installed it.

Yet another thing, sm.
Cortana got activated. I was 50% interested only, because I lead a routine, circular life.

Kirtivasan Ganesan said...

Cortana gives command. If you tap accordingly, then command is executed. This is how it is here.
Going around lockscreen password was tough. It took 17 hours, with 10 hours sleep to discover the way out. Camera is the key.

Working with Cortana may improve programing skills.

Kirtivasan Ganesan said...

I had to reset my phone to factory settings.
Bing was unfriendly in searching in my phone. It fetched web results.
This is my observation as a developer.

Kirtivasan Ganesan said...

Cortana is an App now. I have a tile for Cortana in the main screen.
I have deleted the access point from my Nokia Lumia 720. It can only work for calls.
Cortana and internet work with Wifi.
Cortana works with commands like "Fetch me headlines from India","Remind me to take notes at 4 pm" etc.

MTNL gives two access points setting. Evolving Windows technology did not take this.
This is the crux.
