My Top Ten list of new features in Windows 8.1

            Windows 8.1, formerly known as Windows Blue, is recently released on 17th October.It is considered to be a comprehensive update to Windows 8.It is available for free to the existing Windows 8 users via Windows Store and is available from 18th October in market for buying.It is updated keeping in mind about the needs of PC users along with modern tablets.Here are some of the remarkable features on my top 10 list you can see in Windows 8.1.

i.)Start Button is Back
             The start button is what most of the Windows users has been missing in Windows 8. It is now back with windows 8.1,although it still redirects to Start Screen rather than the Start Menu.

ii.)Lock Screen SlideShow
             Lock Screen is the screen that appear on your PC when you boot your computer or when the computer is sleeping prior to entering password.

           People started using Lock Screen to put their favourite photos ,so that they can be seen at the very     first glimpse.Now in windows 8.1, you can make slideshow of pictures to make a photo frame that can be uploaded either locally from hard drive or from Skydrive.

          Moreover you can unlock the Camera , answer a skype call and get email notifications without needing to enter a password.


iii.)More Snap Views
          Now you can choose snap views, of two apps running ,at any ratio you  want. For eg: You may prefer 50:50 ratio of snap views of apps as shown in figure below.Also you can have multiple windows of same app snapped together.

iv.) Boot to Desktop
           With Windows 8.1 , you can boot directly to desktop,if you like with no metro in sight. This retains the property of traditional Windows O.S. that may you'd love to.

          
v.)Attractive Start Screen
          Windows 8.1 has added more colors to the start screen.It has also added attractive backgrounds for start screen.One can set a desktop background as a start screen background.

vi.)Reformation of Tiles
            Windows 8.1 features variety of tile sizes i.e.small ,medium,wide and large.Grouping the tiles with specific names is also made easier.You can now select multiple tiles all at once and do operations such as Resize , Uninstall,Unpin,Rearrange in groups  etc.We can view all apps in Apps Views by swiping from buttom and filter the apps by name,date installed,most used or by category.When you install a new app from Windows Store ,it will no longer appear in Start Screen instead you will find the apps under Apps Views as mentioned above and the app is marked as 'new' so that you can choose it to pin in the start screen.

                           

vii.)Improved Windows Store
                    Windows store is much improved now compare to that of Windows 8.It is now easier to find new and interesting apps.Now, there is the feature of automatic installation of App updates in background coming from the store.Also,  there is a search bar at top left side of the store to search the desired apps. Here is the screen shot of the store:

BHAKTAPUR, JUN 11 - The Office of the Controller (OCE) of Examinations, Sanothimi, has published the results of School Leaving Certificate (SLC) exams for the academic year 2069 on Tuesday.

According to OCE, 41.57 percentage of the total 547,165 students have passed the examination, more commonly known as the 'Iron Gate' among the students.

A total of 547,165 students had appeared at the 79th edition of the SLC exams held on March 13-24 earlier this year. Of them, 430,097 are regular and 117,068 are exempted students.

The pass rate has plummeted by 6 percent compared to the last year. This year's SLC result is the second worst of this decade.

The decline in the pass rate could seriously impact the education sector, claim the education policy analysts.

Organising a press conference after the announcement of the results, Examinations Controller Khagraj Baral said among the total passed, there were 96,454 boys and 71,481 girls.

Of those who passed, 16,924 have secured distinction while 76,165 secured first division, 69,830 the second and 5,016 passed in the third division.

OCE said that the result of 818 students was withheld while 6,067 students failed to appear the SLC exam while those of 230 were cancelled.

For those who failed up to two subjects, the supplementary exam will be held from August 4 to 11.

Similarly, 21,890 invigilators, 7,297 peons and 19,860 security personnel were mobilised for the exams. The answer sheets were marked at 60 centres under tight vigilance.

A board meeting of the OCE that took place this morning had decided to publish the results today.

OCE has already stated that it will not publish the results in newspapers citing budget constraints. However, the newspapers can publish them if they make it free of cost.

The results can also be viewed on www.ekantipur.com.

Likewise, the results can also be viewed at OCE's site www.soce.gov.np, Education Ministry's site www.moe.gov.np, Education Department's www.doe.gov.np and Nepal Telecom's slc.ntc.net.np. Results can also be known through telephone by dialing 1600 and following the instructions.

Big Impact on me by small act of MIC Nepal

  It's been nearly one and half year since  i have been associated with MIC Nepal in one or other way. I came to know about MIC Nepal through our previous MSP Aashish Acharya, when we were in 1st semester .I  attended "MTA Training in Networking Fundamental" as a first event in MIC Nepal.It has not been much fruitful to me as i realized then my field of interest is being developer rather than in networking. Thanks to MIC Nepal ,i realized my field of interest early in 1st semester. After that i keep on involving in many activities related to MIC Nepal like Install Fest , Tech Explosion , DBA  programs etc.  which boost my knowledge as well confidence.
       Now comes the dramatic change part in my life. I attended windows 8 app development camp organized by joint effort of MIC Nepal , our previous MSP Aashish Acharya and current MSPs Chandan Gupta , Puja Shrestha and Alisha Thapaliya.Till then ,i know nothing about visual studio or C# .But amazingly i learned and  I developed a nice app within 5 days training ,which would have been impossible without their supports.It was my first app but get nice response from others. It develop confidence on me like "I CAN ALSO DO SOMETHING" and MIC Nepal provides the platform for me.
       Again  i attended recently conducted "OFFICE APP DEVELOPMENT CAMP" at MIC Nepal . As before, i have almost zero knowledge on HTML5 , Javascript, Jquery and CSS3. But again i learned and develop an app.This time my app stood second in the camp  and got a cool "waterbag" from Allen sir.It was  one of the happiest moment of my life. Since then, i am working on developing another cool app . Thanks to MIC Nepal , now i have confidence that i can develop cool apps not only in MICROSOFT platform but others too.
        MIC Nepal consist of bunch of experienced and cool teams .Allen sir , Junu mam ,Purnima mam , Sonika Mam ,Nairisha di,Prashish dai etc. are the bunch of friendly people over  there.They are always helpful and cooperative . I feel like "my own office"  when i visit MIC Nepal :D due to their friendly behaviour. It means a lot to me. Thanks MIC Nepal for having "BIG IMPACT ON ME DUE TO YOUR SMALL ACT".

MSP-2013 from IOE ,Pulchowk

          Recently, new MSPs were selected in 13th the friday. The lucky one from our college are Miss. Alisha Thapaliya , Miss. Puza Shrestha , and Mr. Chandan Gupta(Dai). It's natural that i am a bit disappointed as i am not selected for it . But i am not so sad , since i have already assumed the results early and i have already made my mind to be strong. I had already known that there is very less chance for me to be this year MSP , since they deserve more than me.

          As Allen sir said , it's like sports where win and loose is compulsory . And i am happy in the sense that both girls from my class were selected . and also my MSP orientation partners Miss Sagina and Miss Ranjana are MSPs now.

         As Allen sir said there were few non-MSPs who are very  active and have equal contribution , I know i cannot be compared with them , but i will try my best to work with MSPs 2013 , so that i can also contribute a little .It will be my pleasure if i am able to do so.

        Atlast , congratulation to all the current MSPs. And to those who are not selected(like me) , i suggest not to be disappointed but work hard to prove you deserve to be MSP of next year.
                                                      Good day!!!

3rd orientation for MSP applicants

      Recently Microsoft Innovation Centre, Nepal finished the 3 orientations for the applicants of MSP 2013.I was one of the participants in 3rd orientation of MSP applicants.I am going to share here my experience of that BIG  day.

      I wake up a little early that day , i don't know why but may be due to excitation. After my daily usual activities i reach MIC , Nepal at 11:15 am , there were very few people at  that time.We were given microsoft bag, pen ,diary and T-Shirt.  We were informed that the program will start at 11:30 , But the actual program starts at 12:00 am . We were hearltly welcomed my Junu Mam that time.

        I was very much excited when Sir Allen Bilochan Tuladhar interacted with us. He was my idle from the day i know about Microsoft Nepal and it's very great to interact with our idle live to live  as we all know , he has great contribution in developing the IT field in Nepal . I came to know that he was very friendly and funny person too.

       Now, after some introductions,we were told to express ourself that how we want people to know us in future when we are dead in the form of condolense. It may sounds a little wierd but was great fun to do so. Allen sir told us to make pair with a person whom we don't know to discuss about condolence . I was little confused and nervous how to choose my partner. But Allen sir make that easy. He chooses Miss Ranjana Dangol for me . She was really co-operative partner for me . We discuss our idea throughout the lunch .After lunch i was a bit nervous thinking how to present  my condolence message.

       Again , allen sir instruct us to find a new partner , this time i myself find miss Sagina as my partner who is equally friendly and helpful. Then it comes my condolence presentation time . I was a bit nervous but things went ok i guess. After that there comes a video recording part of  the question "What big difference  do you want to make? " .It also went ok i guess.

          In this way , the fantastic orientation ends. The live concert from  Purge Catharsis was awesome . Interview from Aashish dai , Midusa di and other ex-MSPs were inspiring.

          Thanks to Allen sir , Junu mam and other for the wonderful day.I really enjoy the day making new friends and learning something .

    

Microsoft's surface

Microsoft is still no. 1 software company in the world . With it's huge success in software world , it is nowadays also starting it's step into hardware fields. The latest example of it is MICROSOFT SURFACE , which is coming soon.
         
                According to microsoft "Surface is a tablet with a unique expression of entertainment and creativity. A tablet that works and plays the way you want. A new type of computing. "

             It is said that it is a tablet with attachable keyboard and windows 8 operating system which can be even used as a laptop     It seems that it is comparatively going to be cheaper that "Ipad or Samsung Pads". But again question is "can it compete with those pads?" or "it will just be like another Amazon Kindle?"

             It is to be noted that the cheaper Amazon Kindle Pad gain huge popularity while releasing but sooner it can't struggle the world of tablets.

              Here are some pictures of microsoft's surface:
