Ranjith’s Castle

I was reading through how the browser agent read through the html code sent to the browser from a server. A couple of interesting things happened. A different kind of rendering with 6 dots and their projects for the blind.

It was first designed as Night Writing by a Charles Barbier when Napoleon asked for a silent communication code for his soldiers during night. It was designed to have 2 columns of 6 dots each. This system was little complex to learn and use and it was rejected by the military. The same system has been miniatured to 6 dots by Louis Braille. It once again had two columns, but only three cells each. A simple representation for A and 1 and what should precede on a number and letter is as shown in the figure.

A, 1	Capital letter follows	Number Follows

Chennai roads are getting dangerous day by day. There are a lot of people driving across the streets with no traffic sense. From June 1, the law enforces wearing of helmets for the bike drivers compulsory. Inspite of that there are a lot more things to be set right.

• Metro transport drivers should be taught with some common sense of driving and strick punishments for accidents.
• People should be taught to keep lanes when they cross signals to turn right or left. Some thing like “Right lane should turn right”, “Right turners should not take any other lane”,etc.,
• Speed limits should be enforced strictly except in case of emergency.
• Unnecessary crossing of roads for basic requirements like metro water should be avoided. I noticed today morning a lady crossing the Velachery main road in Pallikaranai to fetch Metro water @ 9 am which is a very high traffic flow time.
• Warnings, fines and License cancelling should be enforced correctly and should be followed. 
• and more ….

Drive Safe !!!

Cheers - Ranjith
