Bringing back 10 years old PC to life again

During this recent lockdown I was stuck at home so I decided to revive my old PC which was last turned on around 2011 when I was in college.

Debugging the random application crashes in windows

Many a times we start some application and we want it to keep running day and night.

In my case it was a software ( v380 pc software ) which used to display all my cctv cameras and continuously recorded the stream and saved it on my hard drive.

But many a times I had to restart the application and had no clue why it stopped.

Then after googling , I came to know about event viewer.

Using event viewer you can see the logs for every event on your windows PC.

You can also filter the logs by error and warning and info messages.

I filtered the logs by error.

When I opened I found the application error , it was crashing in some dll which is Microsoft visual studio 2013 redistributable dll  with  exception related to memory violation.

Still no update is available from the developer so I am still stuck. But I did one thing, I changed the memory stick and also the hard disk because windows uses hard disk also as virtual memory.

Still crashes are there but not that frequent.

Working on Yourself

Working on Yourself


Today we live in a materialistic world where money is the medium through which u can buy food clothing and shelter which are the  bare necessities of life.

So one cannot simply ignore it. In fact ,it can actually help you to keep focussed on interesting tasks which bring some meaning and experiences to life.

As time is money. The best way to keep track of money is same as keeping track of time.

The best way to organise your time is to use google calendar. If it is not the best, I think it is the most popular and most android phones come with google calendar installed.

It is best to plan in terms of number of hours u want to devote in the day on making money . Yeah!!

I try to log into my google calendar as much as I can and later on see which parts I could have planned better.

So At the end of the day , you should just sit 10 minutes and see what you could have done better and plan for the upcoming day.

Life is all about getting better and better!

Good Luck !!
