Thumbs down!! Yahoo Web Messenger!!

Thats what i felt when i crept into it today although with a speed of only 44 kbps. It took me 10+ minutes just to login. And once i did i found nothing that made me jump with joy!! Just found a handicapped Yahoo messenger inside. The only thing i found extra was the chat history when compared to my current installed yahoo messenger( older version i suppose). And theres a lot missing, actually theres only the chat function with the offline messaging intact. Nothing to be excited about!!

It is not anywhere near what gmail provides in the inbox with ease.



So i tell you friend!! it will be better to go through the hassles of installing one( especially if you are using a low speed net connection).

Although it will be faster when used with a higher speed, but it obviously doesnt increase the features, dude!!

Bin Laden strikes again.

Osama bin Laden's "letter to the American people", reported in today's Observer.





In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,



"Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" [Quran 22:39]



"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan."[Quran 4:76]



For the full letter please visit the link below

One thing clear from this letter is that Bin Laden has got a lot more weapons than what Mr. bush has got in English vocabulary. These fighters are well equipped in Weapons of Mass Communication (WMC)!!

I think Mr.Bush will need an English expert from the Oxford university.

Orkut!Orkut! Go away.

Orkut had eaten into the majority of my internet browsing time and i had to do something soon to avoid Orkut becoming the one and only point in my internet history sidebar. And cos of that little effort you are reading this, because as a result i was suddenly into blogging. And i am lovin it, may be because i was too fed up with orkut(or to obsessed). Still it isnt nothing like that i want to get rid off Orkut completely, it wouldnt have been possible without Orkut to get all those old friends back. Its only that i want to reduce the time that i'm killing wandering through those profiles and communities.

And another source that i found useful for this task was del.icio.us. I was aware of this delicious thing a lot earlier, but Orkutmania somehow dragged me away from this. And when i tried to step out of the Orkut world, the first thing i stumbled upon (not stumble upon) was del.icio.us and rightly so because it was the most happening place in the internet when it came to finding new and happening things on the internet, which was exactly what the doctor had ordered for me.



And i have already found many interesting del.icio.us marks which were damn cool. One standout thing i found out was Thickbox 3.

ThickBox is a webpage UI dialog widget written in JavaScript on top of the jQuery library. Its function is to show a single image, multiple images, inline content, iframed content, or content served through AJAX in a hybrid modal.



Thats how it defines itself.



A must visit for all web designing folks out there.

I will be roaming the net(read del.icio.us) for more things like Tb3, meanwhile you can visit my delicious markings through the link i've provided on the left side of this page.

Work on Mini!!

I'm currently on my mini project, which is a firefox extension.That is i am planning to create a firefox extension. Although i am pretty comfy with installing and using a firefox extension, i am new to this thing called firefox extension development. I got some tuts for this from the net and i hope things fall in places before the deadline.

It will be great if someone already with experience of extension development comes with a helping hand.



For all those who are wondering what i am talking about and heard "Firefox" for the first time. Please click the link on top of this page and download firefox for a start.

If you are still browsing with that old Internet explorer, i tell you baby!! You are in the stone age!!

Great player=Bad coach

That is the conclusion i have come upon after Greg chappels short and disastrous stint with Team India.

Great players never made great coaches atleast in the game of cricket.Greg chappel for one,Kapil dev, Javed miandad all were zero when it came to coaching.
Tom Moody was never a great cricketer,neither were Bob woolmer. I doubt Dav whatmore ever played cricket, but they made great coaches for their respective cricket teams.
Same is the case even in football, Jose mourinho, Arsen Wenger, Alex ferguson were never great players.
Does that mean Venkatapathy Raju is our next coach?? Nah....... i didnt
mean that!!





*I try to make my posts short enought to make it interesting and large enough to cover the subject, a la Sania mirza skirt. If you still dont find it interesting, the mistake is all Sania's.

Fake is the Trend!!

Fake, the one word that pops up every time i turn on a news channel these days, oops forgot to add encounter in front of it.
The Police folks out there are determined to kill 9 innocent people for one real terrorist, wonder how hard it must be for a terrorist to survive in these hard days when he might be mistaken for an ordinary man and shoot upon!! dishkauooooooooon...........
If i am sounding too harsh on the victims, i'm sorry.
These bloody cops should be hanged upside down till death(hitler style), i.e hangulta unto death.
So be a bit more cautious when you step onto the street next time, cos you might be the next Faker victim (especially,if you are a muslim)!!
