Favicon! Yippee!!

Wheeeeee!!!!! I successfully managed to add a favicon to my blog!!! I did it! I did it! I did it! I am very happy and excited too.

So the next time anyone opens my blog in firefox(works in chrome too, i guess), you can see a small green car next to my blog's url in the address bar. Yeah thats my favicon, its green(my fav color) and its a Volkwagon mini (one of my fav cars), and I call it "Herbie"!! :D

And I want to share that excitement with you!!

New Look :)

I have successfully explored and changed the look of my blog!! Hurrah!

I am impressed with myself.

Professor Lewin

People who have gone through four wonderful years studying under the Anna University, particularly in the self financing colleges will be familiar with the feeling of latent irritation that one goes through when one attends a class hour.  

But all teachers are not as bad or irritating.  Professor Walter Lewin used to teach physics at MIT,USA(I'm not 100 percent sure if he does even now).  His classes will first seem crazy, but at the end of the session, you can actually walk out of class and say "I did grasp something today".  

I have not attended any of these classes in person, but THANKS to MIT's open courseware and youtube, I have been able to view recorded videos of his sessions. 

Here is a video you must watch... These girls here are singing a song for their professor(Prof Lewin) pleading him to pass them in a test.

Watch and enjoy....

Keeping tab on too many things!!!

I have been working on a small project for over a month now and that has led me to browse the internet more than ever. Consequence: Numerous tabs running on a browser window, with all of them seeming to be important...

And today has been the crowning glory!! Right now I have some 29 tabs open over four browser windows!!!

Crazy me!

Virtual Tutors

I was stuck at one point today in my work, and I had lost all hopes of finishing that part of the code today. And that was when I found this person Mr. Peter Lavin on the internet who had put up this one line in his article

eval('$newarray = ' . var_export($array, true) . ';');

This one line really opened up things for me, and if all goes well I can finish all that I have set myself to do!!! Yippee!!
Here is the link to that page, for those of you looking for help:

And hats off to all those people who make it a point to share their working knowledge by way of tutorials!!!!

A friend indeed

Well,  a friend of mine is leaving the city for joining his colleagues at his place of work.  And I just cannot say farewell.

Still my best wishes are and will always be with him... And I submit very humbly that some friendships make a lot of difference in your life.

CHROME??? not at all its PLATINUM!!!

Like a lot of other people I was pretty excited about the new browser from Google's stable. And I'm pretty impressed with it too!! They've named it "Chrome" but may be we could call it "Gold" or "Platinum" or may be just "Precious"! I know this is going a little too overboard, but any heavy internet surfer will know the importance of a browser that doesnt crash and that doesnt suffer from memory leaks.

So here I am all excited about this beauty that I affectionately call "Precious" ;)

P.s. I had blogged about Avant being good.... Well it is good even now, but turns out its more a skin over our darling(*sarcastic*) IE.  Avant's  system requirements is IE6.0!!! now how is that???  ok.. my rankings stand thus: 1. Chrome 2.Avant  and everything else is after this.
