How to open mutiple Netbeans simultaneously

Unless we give the check box checked in the pop up when eclipse IDE is opened, the same icon can be used for opening various workspaces at a time. But this is not possible in the case of Netbeans IDE.
To over come this, follow below mentioned steps:
1) Create a separate folder (say F:\Workspaces\nbuserdir2)
2) Right click the net beans icon and take properties
3) Including the double quotes, your existing value will be like this "F:\InstalledNetBeans6.8\NetBeans 6.8\bin\netbeans.exe"
4) Add this line also to it. --userdir F:\Workspaces\nbuserdir2
5) Now the target will look like this:
"F:\InstalledNetBeans6.8\NetBeans 6.8\bin\netbeans.exe" --userdir F:\Workspaces\nbuserdir2
6) Click apply
7) Click OK

4th Anniversary Celebration Report

After fine tuning of the plan, everyone has sticked to the plan. The challenge was to overcome the limited number of cars for transportation and the limited time we have. There were many people who came to Trivandrum only to participate in the function. Preetha came from Chennai and reached in the morning. Sony and Teena came from kochi. All girls from the Technopark side was taken care by Jyothish. Vineesh was suffering from conjunctivitis. Bad luck for him. Vimal and Jose came in bike. Deepu collected all those who were in the city side.
Anyhow every one came to Zoo but it was very late. So we kept wandering here and there in the Museum and talking asking for updates from everyone. Aswathy and Vasanth came to zoo directly form their home. There were photo sessions as well.
Next was our main item of the day ie. Buffet @ S P Grand Days Hotel. From zoo everyone reached SPG hotel. We had to make little bit hurry as we didn't want to skip the schedule. Here we had various dishes and all.

Without any delay, we moved to our next program. That was for watching the film 'cocktail' at Ajantha theatre. The film was good but little bit dragging. It is a copied version of an English film also.

After watching film, aswathy, vasanth, vimal and jose went back to home. Rest of the 11 people went to Veli beach. Took photos and had chit chat. At sharp 6'O clock it rained we decided to disperse.

Over all, the celebration ended smoothly and gave memorable time.

Final Plan for K6 Anniversary

The plan for celebrating 4th Anniversary of K6 Group is finalized.

The decided places to visit at Trivandrum are:

1. Zoo


2. S P Grand Days Hotel


3. Film at Ajantha Theatre

Movie for the week

THE CHILDREN OF HEAVEN (BACHEHA-YE ASEMAN) BY MAJID MAJIDI(IRAN)

One of the most gentle social commentaries you are ever likely to see, with heartwrenching performances from two young (non-actor) children. This will melt your heart.

Consider writer-director Majid Majidi's plot, which is simplicity itself.There are no explosions, no guns, no fight scenes, no car chases, and no eye-popping special effects. None of these things has a place in writer/director Majid Majidi's story about how a poor Iranian family copes with the financial difficulties of their day-to-day existence, and, despite the apparent obstacles, remains a happy and loving group. Sound boring? Perhaps on paper, but, on the screen, it makes for an enjoyable 90 minutes because the characters are vivid and sympathetic, and because Majidi's keen view of the human condition is universal, not parochial.

Now wife too...

Everyone knows that Hari got to CTS.
Now what???
Yes....
Now Lakshmi also got offer letter from CTS.
She will be moving to Ciombatore very soon.
Both will be in the same location.
Congratssss........ Lakshmi

Recipe for Ellunda by Preetha

Roast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until they start to burst.
In a separate vessel, make syrup out of jaggery, by heating it.
The syrup should become thick enough, so that when you add a drop of it in a vessel of water, it should solidify immediately.
When the syrup reaches this stage remove from the stove and add it to the sesame seeds.
When the temperature cools down to a state where the hand can withstand the heat.
Grease the hand with either rice flour or ghee.
Make the sesame into small even sized balls using the hand.

K6ian went to CTS

Hari has resigned from UST and joined CTS, Coimbaatore on 27th September.
There he is in insurance domain testing. Enjoying the atmosphere with less work pressure. Technical work is less but process is more. He said "First day, I took 3 hrs to test and 5 hrs to update the details in QC."

There are malayalees i the office but they also speak tamil. So it is difficult to distinguish.
