Medical Data Insight Sprint 2 Retrospective

This Blog and all future blogs with title Medical Data Insight are updates about the very Open Source Project which I announced some weeks ahead via this blog article: Open Source Project "MEDICAL DATA INSIGHT". Open Call for Technical/Non Technical Collaboration.

Even though this is a Open Source Project and maintaining consistent contribution is very rare, I'm following AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES for this project. This is the reason why you are seeing the Updates about our Retrospective and Planning. Following AGILE is actually fun and productive. And I can keep a close track of what's happening with the project. 

Here is the RETROSPECTIVE summary of SPRINT 2. Please go thorough the link and do provide your valuable feedback to us.

TODOIST SUBSCRIBERS DONOT GO PRIME

TODOSIT is a really cool app I'm using these days to set my daily goals. Todoist helps to add tasks and manage out tasks in an easy way. Wherever we are or whatever task we want to logs in any projects we can do it here at TODOIST.

Todosit has many features that are available for free, which are listed below:

But it says you to go PREMIUM for Setting REMAINDERS

But I don't suggest you to go PRIME and pay for a feature which should be paid. With this easy trick you can get the remainder for free.

TODOIST PREMIUM FOR FREE

• Go to the Todoist App
• Go to Settings menu on your browser's top right area
• Go to the Integrations
• Now choose Google Calendar
• Sync your Google Calendar with Todoist app.
  On your mobile phone you might be using some applications for getting the remainders like: SPlanner or the Google Calendar itself. For most of the Smart phone from Samsung which runs Android they have Splanner as default Samsung Apps.
• Now Create a new Task something like:
  "COFFEE at 14:00 with Techjhola"  as  a remainder.
• Your todo items will now automatically get synced with Google Calendar and you will get a remainder on your phone.

DON'T GO PREMIUM UNLESS YOU CAN HACK any apps in any possible ways. Because sneaking out and taking advantages of loopholes is more fun than paying money.

Cheers!

Happy Blogging

DUCKDUCKGO: GOOGLE TRACKS YOU , WE DON'T ( TAKE BACK YOUR PRIVACY! )

GOOGLE TRACKS YOU , WE DON'T 

DuckDuckGo began as an idea for a better search experience with more instant answers and less spam. With this idea back in Month of February, 2008 DuckDuckGo started with a few servers in a dusty basement. DuckDuckGo was soon announced/introduced to the Hacker News and reddit communities.

DuckDuck TimeLine

Duck gained even more popularity on January, 2009 when they decided to make a bold move and not collect or share any personal information of users'. On January 11, 2011 Duck Team told the world “Google tracks you. We don’t” with a billboard in their backyard. On Febrauary,2012 DuckDuckGo reached a record of 1,000,000 searches a day. Well that is not the only good news, it reached 2,000,000 searches a day in June 2013. Just after 8 days it reached 3,000,000 searches a day. on February 2014 it got 5 Million searches a day which is 1.825 billion searches in a year. On Febraury 2017 15 million searches in a single day (15,106,357 to be exact) was achieved by duck team.

DuckDuck Donations

Being a search engine which don't keep any users' personal information and who don't display add in the browser DuckDuck has been continuously donating several Open Source Projects. Some of the organizations & Projects that DuckDuck helped this year with $225,000 divided equally are: SecureDrop, Freenet, OpenBSD Foundation, CrypTech, Tor Project, Fight for the Future, VeraCrypt, LEAP, GPGTools

All these information are available in its official site: duckduckgo.com/about

Will you ever get these data always available on any other site. Last week when there was a sale on daraaz.com, I searched for like a dozens of smart TVs. And now on my google search everytime I get add of this Smart TV SONY BRAVIA. And this was annoying so I changed by default browser to duckduckgo.

This is a shout out to all those who care about privacy, who don't want to be a puppet of searchengine like google who crawls not only what we search but also tracks about every searches, sites, location, online shopping etc.

HOW TO SPREAD THE WORD?

• Use #ComeToTheDuckSide hashtag in your social networking post
• Change your default search engine to DuckDuckGo
• You can find an extension in for your browser. install this for your Chrome Browser
