The year that passed me by

Well 2008 did not turn out to be the roller coaster ride I expected it to be. Here is the list of stuff that happened this year:

1. First and foremost, I royally jacked my GMAT exam (Of course I will be taking it up again but I should have gone in with more prep rather than confidence).
2. I seem to be making a meager living working in my current company. I should have taken up the job offers I was given by other companies (screwed this one up!!!)
3. I am shaping out to be a fat blob. I have not been exercising regularly and have become a bit lazier than usual.
4. The recession has not done me any good. The catastrophic problems that have literally brought the U.S economy to a brink of rapid disintegration has in deed made a gaping dent in my pocket.
5. CAT was a cinch, I should have improved my math speed and I might have just made it into an IIM. I definitely believe that I haven't crossed the cut off in Math. Any takers on this one???
6. Family life for me is getting complicated and I am planning everything in this regard with aggression.
7. Stopped taking meat for healthy reasons this entire year but I have yet to see the advantages(except of course adding a couple of more calories to my burgeoning blubber deposit).
Well 2008 sucked for me big time and I am looking forward to 2009 to make up for 2008. And I posted this video of my Amazing race entry in You Tube:

The other being that some key logging aspects needed to be handled in a Legacy platform that could not be decommissioned at that time.

Power BI To Embed Or Not To Embed

It is very critical for organizations to work & play with data. Power BI - the reporting solution from Microsoft is literally scorching the market with its rapid pace in usage. On a quick note while interacting with your Power BI report like the following--> This report is accessible by the public. In order to create a more personalized/advanced security reporting structure with Power BI, the Power BI embedded would be the way to go. Create a workspace collection in Azure and then generate the required API keys (two by default - primary and secondary). These API keys will be leveraged by your web application. Once this is done create the pbix solution file in your desktop tool and publish or import the pbix solution to the Azure workspace using powershell/C#/ruby/java etc... Now to interact with the pbix file in your application, you need to leverage the Power BI Embed API's. However there is another approach using Power BI API's instead of the embed API's. The em
