Other side of outsourcing
I saw this documentary (Link via: Scoble) “The other side of outsourcing” for Discovery done by Thomas Friedman (of “The world is flat” fame).
It is a must watch. I will just document/summarize what I saw and what are my reactions to it.
On one hand I was feeling very proud to be a [...]

Happy
These days you can catch me smiling, giggling almost anytime :D. Some small reasons or otherwise. I am generally happy (Except when I think I have not even started to study…back again to procastrinating of Engg days). I go near mirror, I will realise myself smiling. I look at monitor, I will be giggling looking [...]

Delicious Ambiguity
I had come across the following sometime ago and thought of waiting for a better occasion to post it. But I realise, now, that any occassion is better than other.
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and [...]

No surprises
Looks like there are no surprises from WP2.0, as has been mostly discussed, the improvements are underhood.
No surprises considering we have already seen wordpress.org.
There are default plugins like Akismet (but I already have spam karma) and Backup manager which too is already in place in my current stand.
Been hearing lot about incompatibility of current plugins, [...]

Question
“Let’s say that passenger A’s usual fare would be $1, passenger B’s is $5 and passenger C’s is $9. If all three share a cab (and assuming A and B are allowed to hop out on the way to C’s destination, without incurring any special fees), the total bill would be $9 — rather than [...]

Waking up to loud noise
In practical sense, it is music. But technically unwanted signal is noise. I am facing the same problem that the character in Hyderabad Blues faces…disturbing loud devotional music hampering the early morning sleep. Ok, if you thought it is doing the job of alarm clock, you are wrong. Did I say loud ?, it [...]

Whats making difference?
I just now read the hilarious post on Indian Idol by Vinod G, though hilarious it addresses important issues - that of making viewers getting stuck to the show and making them idle and giving them an impression that with a mobile they are all powerful.
After glancing at one or two episodes I never ever [...]

Dumb charades
This is a game I never knew of before my PU. But in PU(SYJC) along with A,K,V,A we started playing this in the PG(patli galli) after college or when we bunked the college. I was clearly an underdog there in terms of the signs or the awareness of film names. As a sidenote I am [...]

Good Morning!
I have been sending Good Morning! mails everyday morning containing one quote. It all started when someone else used to send me mail with a quotation. I just used to forward the same to other pals of mine. But over the time, I started sending them myself.
Initially I toggled between images and text but certain [...]

Burst Spectrum
My Engg final sem project was Burst Spectrum Analyser. The input would be small meaningful signal bursts buried in constant high frequency noise. The burst is also going to appear at a particular frequency (regular interval) and its resonant frequencies.
Well, when I look at my blogging frequency pattern, I am always reminded of that [...]

Full or partial feed
Last two days saw me pondering and arguing over full text feed vs partial text feed here. Today I find that Scoble too raised the concern. His comment space show the argument in full light where full text as well as partial text is finding support. Those who support partial text feeds are looking at [...]

Internal fights
There is a saying in Kannada if I try to remember means (close to), that the family quarrels should be kept within the closed doors.
When we do not sort out our fights and blow it out of proportion, we are only going to be hit. As you can see here (Kannada newspaper link), the earlier [...]

Role reversal
Still in the hangover about the contents of my previous post.
It perfectly demonstrated the opposite of what they had to convey. Mena had to call names and thus cease to remain nice after getting upset over a comment in the backchannel. It is very natural to get agitated when one points a finger at [...]

No I did not miss
It looked like I missed to know about a big shout and debate that happened else where in blogosphere. It is about what is right and what is wrong. Every blogger would have had these thoughts at least once about what is right and what is wrong. He would take actions on his blog about [...]

India questions Aamir Khan
Yesterday saw this show of India questions Aamir Khan on NDTV with Pranoy Roy. It was quite an interactive interview with the audience and the best part was that Pranoy Roy did not intervene himself. There were no leading questions asked and another best thing was Aamir did not shy away from taking on difficult [...]
