Exciting GOA tour with Family

 Last few weeks were really exiting in my life, my entire schedule was dedicated to my family, specially my sweet daughter Kanika.

I have been to GOA, one of the best place to visit with beautiful beaches and food. If you are sea food lover you must visit GOA once. GOA once ruled by Portuguese, you can also visit old beautiful Churches.

Kanika`s first boarding pass of her life.

It was 3 night 4 day trip, but really enjoyed, most important i had plenty of time to spend with my wife and daughter.

It takes 10 hrs by train from Mumbai to GOA and one hr flight journey. If you plan to visit use GOA Tourism (GTDC) site for online reservation, its really worth staying at GTDC hotels. Specially at GTDC Calangute Residency which is facing Calangute Beach.

Nights life is GOA is as awesome as day time, with beautiful candle light dinner near sea shore. For music lovers visit Pubs near Calangute like "TITOA Pub" really awesome.

Lotus Notes 8.5.2 Preloader

I am really impressed with Lotus Notes Client 8.5.2, some great new features. One thing that i would like to highlight is Notes preloader, which allows for faster Notes client startup by preloading some required Notes libraries when the OS is started.

The preloader option is off by default. You can enable the preloader option during Notes client install or upgrade. Using the Launch parts of Notes when the operating system starts to enable faster Notes startup option in the user interface.

Preloader run it does the following.
Calls NotesInit which causes low level Notes DLLs and files to be loaded
Reads several client databases including DESKTOP8.NDK, CACHE.NDK, BOOKMARK.NSF, and NAMES.NSF
Loads a number of Java JVM DLLs

When the preloader runs, it preloads a portion of the Notes APIs and subsystem, a portion of the Java JVM, and some NSF databases that are used immediately at the time of the Notes client startup.

The NNTSPRELD.EXE runs with user privileges, in the same manner as the NLNOTES.EXE process.


To confirm preloader is install check the Windows registry
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run - IBM Lotus Notes Preloader
