Holy Ghost (XKCD)

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Go GhostBusters! *Yay* Cross the streams!

Alt text: Okay, everyone, cross yourselves, then cross the streams.
No offense to x-tians but come on! Ghostbusters are always FTW! A ghost, holy or not, remains a ghosts meant to be sent to the Ecto-Containment Unit. Only Slimer (pet ghost) can stay outside. WLOL.
Don’t you wish you had Ecto-1, the [...]

The Guild

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I was watching Doctor Horrible (a web series) a few hours ago, and noticed that Felicia Day was starring in it. She’s a brilliant actress and geeky WOW gamer. She also writes and stars in The Guild.
The Guild is a superb web series which had its premiere aired on watchingtheguild.com last year (27th July 2007.) [...]

FUP PWNAGE

Friday, August 1st, 2008

I’d sent the URL to a report (PDF - hosted on a fast webhost4life server) to a collegue of mine who had subscribed to the MyT package (for home users.) He told me it was slow during day time and sent me a snapshot.

Is the MyT service that bad during the day? Why is FUP [...]

Cautionary (XKCD)

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Today’s XKCD comic is so cool.

Alt. Text: This really is a true story, and she doesn’t know I put it in my comic because her wifi hasn’t worked for weeks.

Fantastic and so true! And he teaches the newbie all the man pages without focusing on the xorg. She’s lucky to have such a cousin. [...]

Of tables & upcoming Infotech 2K8

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Finally, I received an email from Miss M.R, the Manager of Business Development @ NCB.
Extract:
We have taken note of you request and shall try our best to provide you with tables, depending on availability of facilities at the Convention Centre.

Get yourself started with Silverlight (ASP.NET with VB.NET scripting)

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Silverlight is the big thing right now, esp. in usable animated display (I stress on the word “usable,” - think in the line of DeepZoom) in replacing AJAX and working alongside AJAX (there was a time when one would have said “payback is a bitch.” Now, it’s “postback is a bitch.”) and of course to [...]

Internet/SMS Lingo = Path to “Idiocracy”

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I’ve just read an article (click) entitled “Online writing is a typographical and grammatical mess. Should we fix it?” and I must say that Internet and SMS Lingo sucks.
I get it - people have few space and less time to type entire sentences. But this is applicable to stressful environments mainly in gaming. Else, if [...]

A privacy policy for Google Adsense

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

A lot of bloggers I know display Google advertisements on their respective blogs in order to earn some money. Naturally, I also have two Google advertisements on every page of this blog for exactly the same reason… (I’d like to point out that I have not received any cheque from Google up to now.)
