After a long time surfunion meet was arranged today at Cafe coffee day, Bandra. I joined Bhooshan from Borivali for the meet. Since the summer vacation and marriage season is going on I had to wait in the long railway ticket queue. But any how I along with Bhooshan managed to reach the venue on time at 11.00a.m. Since the summer heat has started to grow both of us decided to wait inside the A/C room at CCD. Bhooshan was waiting for other members to come, I went out on the sea to do some of my experimental photography. The summer heat forced me to come back. I met Vijalesh and Rayo who have recently passed out from CDAC. It was nice to meet both of them. Later on Ranajit and Raunaq joined the meet. But this time the response from the members was less. Thirteen members had confirmed that they will come fo the meet, but only 6 of us spend some time at Cafe coffee day having some thanda drinks and then decided to move to Zaika restaurant for lunch. It was after long time I was meeting Ranajit,Bhooshan and Raunaq. We had some great chit-chat while having lunch and also decided to push Surfunion one step ahead. Along with Bhooshan I rushed back into the evercrowded local train to come home back.

I have been using Google talk for quite a few months. I liked the interface very simple and loads very quickly.
But with the new Google talk we can see pictures in the friends list and chat sessions. We can even change the appearance of the chat sessions. This one is very cool I liked of Google talk.

I received an email from Adobe for the Adobe Production Studio event. It was held in Mumbai on 20th April,2006 at Samuruddhi Park. Adobe softwares always attract me to learn new things. Its not boring to learn them. This forced me to reach the event on time.
Adobe Production Studio is well integrated with After Effects 7.0, Premeire Pro 2.0, Encore DVD 2.0 and Audition 2.0. The first session was conducted by Abhinav on Premeire Pro. He covered some features like Multicam Editing, expedite reviews with Adobe Clip notes, Embed video into a PDF file and make full resolution, interactive DVD’s. Thanks Abhinav for that.
Rajesh Patil took over with Adobe Encore DVD 2.0. This was something new which I was introduced to first time. Thanks Rajesh . Later After effects was taken by Raja. It has new features like Open GL acceleration, redesigned user interface, Graphic editor for easy adjustment of multiple keyframes, hundreds of timesaving animation and behaviour preset and Macromedia Flash Video(FLV) support. Overall it was wonderfull session I had at the event. Thanks Adobe for this one.
