Toy story 3: http://www.apple.com/tra… !!! (via @sidnangia)
Oh shit. Nadal’s out!
@ankur_sethi People can do that? :O
@ManishSinha Why not boot it off a partition?
I thought my MagSafe adaptor was suffering from strain relief. Turns out that all the plug points I use have gone bad.
@ankur_sethi Really? I’ve reached such a state that now I find it odd when I use other keyboards.
@ManishSinha Why do you need a DVD?
@ankur_sethi That’s like 3 bottles of Jif. These Sundrop bottles look like Gerber bottles in front of them.
@ankur_sethi Ha ha, no. The peanut butter lasts(expiry) for two years. And I’m not the only one who likes it.
@ankur_sethi Aye!
@ankur_sethi It’s so good that I told my relatives to return the 5kgs of Peanut Butter they were going to bring for me.
@ankur_sethi Yes, sir.
Sundrop Peanut Butter is as good as Skippy. Made in USA too.
@ankur_sethi Haicodrive
@ManishSinha That’s because people buy their computers with Windows certified hardware.
@ankur_sethi How’s it going?
@ankur_sethi They haven’t released the SDK. I’m talking about the app Palm developed.
@_Baylink Yeah, but it would have been so cool to have a native app.
My love for the original Palm expense app keeps growing. Why is this not on the Pre? #palmpre
@yuvipanda haha. It’s a pain I know, I lost a phone a year back too.
Perl is fun. So are regular expressions.
@ManishSinha LOL. Wasn’t Dan Lyons the first person to call him Monkey Boy?
@ManishSinha A month back, he said Zune HD was a stupid idea. But now it’s as concrete as it can be.
@ManishSinha I’m not saying it will be there. I’m saying it could be. Who knows, till they actually release it?
@ManishSinha Which may be based on WebKit for all you know.
Now I know why Schmidt said Twitter is a poor man’s email system. Google Wave is huge.
Google Wave is awesome. I wish I had access to this right now.
@ManishSinha If you have your dad’s PF Index Number you can register at mail.sbi.co.in.
@ankur_sethi Told ya. The Midland bookshops are a great place to shop for books. Not browse, but shop.
@ankurb Yesh.
@ManishSinha Not a mail service. It’s the bank’s internal mail system.
@ankurb It’s for internal use.
@ankurb State Bank of India Mail
@ankurb Things are improving. My dad was sent emails to switch to Firefox for improved security while accessing SBI Mail.
Ye! Untitled Batman Project in Development. http://www.imdb.com/name…
@rungta Bringing the Dictionary dashboard widget in view is much easier. You have to bring the mouse over it to see the meaning. Effort!
@kbhargava Yes, ANDC.
@kbhargava Brother in Class 10.
@kbhargava In 2007, I got an 84%. In DU, it takes them a couple of months just to type all the marks.
If you disable JavaScript, you can see results of other regions(if they’ve been uploaded) on the CBSE website? Stupid.
I hope Apple lets this happen. But I bet they wont. http://bit.ly/erIwh
@debsuvra Join what?
Aren’t Dictionary meanings on Spotlight useless and annoying?
My college organised a PHP workshop today. Wondering how it went.
Time for the coolers to go off and Air Conditioners to come on. Hot and humid.
@ankur_sethi I wish they would look more like the phones Google uses to show off every new iteration of the OS.
Nimbuzz for the PC. http://nimbuzz.com/en/pc/ Much better than Pidgin and the Trillian Proshit that you have to pay for.
@glossial Happy Birthday.
Apple’s back to school offers have started again.
@ankur_sethi I always thought using the app was a pain. For the quick math that I occasionally need to do, this is awesome.
Playing around with Tumblr’s theme customisation view.
@ajuonline Really? But anybody can access streams at twitter.com/username so what’s the big deal?
Studio versions of Idol Top 10 are awesome. Specially Kris Allen’s Heartless, Adam Lambert’s One and Anoop Desai’s Everything I do.
@ankur_sethi I think you’re just biased towards AmaroK. iTunes is equally good, if not better.
Video tweets through Tweetie. This is the first time I’ve heard of something like this.
@ankur_sethi That impossible. iTunes isn’t slow. I’ve been using it since the time they released version 4 on the PC. It’s faster on my Mac.
@ankur_sethi You don’t think iTunes is fast?
Make people switch to OpenDNS, and they’ll start thanking you for their amazing new internet browsing experience. Heck, even ISPs do it now.
If ads look so good on the free version of my Twitter client, why would I bother buying the ad-free version? #fusionads #thedeck
@ankur_sethi Don’t you think compression would sometimes mean increased processing? The aim is to build a faster application.
@ankur_sethi iTunes does a lot. They could complicate things by splitting all the functionality into individual apps. I don’t see the point.
RoughlyDrafted Mag has some very good content. Subscribed. http://roughlydrafted.co…
@ankur_sethi Depends on your definition of bloated.
@rungta People tell me I should try and experience this myself since it builds character. :)
Why do people form opinions about software just seconds after use? Ovi is facing all the heat now.
If you are ever asked to pay when you want to read beyond the excerpts of paid subscriptions, Google News will give you a free pass.
@ankur_sethi A lot of people in my family used their handhelds. Visor, Tungsten, LifeDrive and similar devices.
@ankur_sethi Nope. No idea when it’ll be available in India.
Can’t the Iconfactory help Mozilla redo Firelight from scratch?
@ankur_sethi How can I? They don’t go up for sale till June 6. Can you gift me $550?
I was hoping the Shiretoko nightly builds would sport some nice UI changes on Firelight. Odd though because Windows users actually like it.
The webOS supports multi-touch but it can be operated almost fully without multi-touch. Awesome.
@adipedia I wish. Looking at the walkthrough videos embedded on a Gizmodo post. http://bit.ly/EmyRH
The Palm webOS notification sound is identical to what’s there on iPhone OS.
@ankur_sethi Um..the ones you wanted people to beta test?
@ankur_sethi Did you download those DMGs you were going to?
@adipedia Yeah. And OMG. Lord of the Rings is there too. WTF?
Se7en is a brilliant movie. BRILLIANT.
@adipedia In probability sequence doesn’t matter. That is why it is considered 1 event.
@adipedia Actually they’ve added a table now with a few images. I think I made one like this from somewhere else. That explains everything.
@adipedia I actually did the Bayesian analysis for this long back for a school project. I don’t think I had a problem understanding it.
@adipedia The calculus?
My previous host is also called Monkeyballs. http://monkeyballs.com/
@ajuonline Monopolistic behaviour.
@ankur_sethi Myntra. Upload your images and place your order. Next time I’ll use Pringoo for better positioning.
Arkham Asylum looks like a game I want to buy.
I meant narcissistic. http://twitter.com/xAbhi…
@yuvipanda I got my Myntra T-shirt. http://twitter.com/xAbhi… Tip: Make sure you use only 75% of the drawing area.
People may think I’m narcissist for wearing this T-shirt. http://yfrog.com/58n4xj
Flickr Slideshow requires Adobe Flash. :(
@shivaas Oh he did play the guitar too.
@shivaas The guy with the guitar looks like Mendiratta.
@ankur_sethi Random uncle? Sounds like some GTA action.
@ankurb Did you get an email?
@ankurb There you go. This is just for you.
@ankurb I don’t think they would do that for new plugins. They don’t have so much time to test all those plugins.
@ankurb Of course. All developers bump those numbers with new WP releases.
@ankurb The last I checked it was 2.5.
@ankurb Because it’s not been tested on 2.7.
@shivaas Is that Mendiratta?
RT @rungta French Open draws up:
Men: http://tr.im/mcFT
Women: http://tr.im/mcFS
@ankur_sethi Also, see this. Illegal, not impossible. http://bit.ly/zCaeK
@ankur_sethi Click on the Exclusive Features tab. And hit Command + F and search for ‘Snow Leopard’. http://tr.im/mcpW
@ankur_sethi VMWare machine*.
@ankur_sethi Has he tried. I’ve used Tiger on a VMWare.
@ankur_sethi its*
@ankur_sethi I don’t want to beta test it. I want to use it in it’s full glory.
@ankur_sethi You can. But you are not supposed to.
@ankur_sethi Are you mad? I thought you’re supposed to be working on Haiku. Install that instead.
@adipedia Awesome idea. But it somehow doesn’t feel right.
@shivaas This when Delhi is supposed to have the best roads in India.
@yuvipanda :S Why?
@rungta And I used to think I was the only one glued to college schedules.
@ankur_sethi Followed. Now you need to do something awesome.
Oh shit. I need to charge my camera’s battery. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Parikrama’s Sound Waves today. My younger brother is performing there.
@nujra The rest?
@kanduri You may find this interesting too. http://xabhishek.com/200…
@macappstorm Count me in too.
@yuvipanda LOL.
@yuvipanda No idea. Mine’s going to reach me on 29th.
Just bought my first T-shirt on Myntra.
@macappstorm Sounds interesting.
@kanduri Best of Luck.
The last 42 second Day Dream. http://vimeo.com/4155700
Google’s finally decided to stick to the Google News theme that they’ve been experimenting with for over a year now!
Some jackass from Airtel called me and gave me the OpenDNS IPs stating they are “Airtel’s global DNS server IPs”.
..with reference to the Are You Sre Those trend.
Another reason to staw away from facebook
Shit. Kris Allen won American Idol. American Idol is like Indian Idol now.
@ankur_sethi People’s streams are no longer about them. Just boring retweets.
Now I can’t differentiate between the people and the bots following me.
@shivaas Is your iPhone working here?
Why don’t people want to jump on the PalmPre-wagon? Has the Palm Pre ever been on Twitter trends?
MTNL’s network is back.
@ap00rv Exactly. My previous phone had 3G. The 7210 I use now doesn’t.
@ap00rv Wow. And will you use those things even once before the phone reaches its end-of-life?
@ap00rv I always that it was 10 paisa for every 10 KB.
@ap00rv They’ve increased the rates to 20 paise for 10KB? MTNL keeps becoming better and better at sucking.
@ankur_sethi The read/unread markers aren’t in sync on the Timeline and Mentions views. That’s one flaw I see.
@ankur_sethi WTF?
@ajuonline I could be mistaken. My school is using 200/1000 free accounts.
@ajuonline You can request for more accounts. When you sign up, you have to mention the number you need initially. So I guess 50 is that no.
@ap00rv 4th for me. :(
@ManishSinha Isn’t FW short for FireWire?
@ManishSinha Huh? Didn’t understand one bit of your tweet.
@rungta LinkedList doesn’t pick up your global feed from your homepage. It’s hard to understand why.
I just don’t have time to pick out and approve comments from a list of 1800 of them. Delete all spam. Phew!
I’ve started liking(and using) Helvetica Neue a lot more than Gill Sans now. Awesome typefaces; both of them.
@ankur_sethi That’s not true. The people who charge transaction fees are making you pay what they should pay from their pocket.
@ankur_sethi I don’t mind writing all the PHP myself.
@ankur_sethi Aren’t they free?
@blah_bleh I’ve read the Zend and CodeIgniter documentation. I somehow don’t feel like using any of them.
Why do I find using PHP frameworks such a pain in the arse?
Yay! Airtel’s DNS server does the job of recognising nameserver changes much faster now.
@kanduri MTNL has one too. Zero talk time for 15/30 days. It’s called the Vidyarthi plan.
@kanduri I thought all they did was hurt people’s pockets with their CDMA service. Now GSM too? :O
@HateMyHosting No, thanks.
GoDaddy’s Preview DNS is kind of useless. All kinds of database complications.
@ankur_sethi Who isn’t?
@ankur_sethi Why do you think I went offline when I was in conversation with you?
@ankur_sethi Oh man. I’m going to buy myself a new SIM anyway. I’m not going to sit and wait for two months like @kanduri.
I’m switching to Airtel if my phone doesn’t start working properly by tomorrow.
@rungta Nice. Global feeds. Finally!
@ankurb I have a relative who went for a wedding there and he was told “Your share is 10000 Yen”.
@ankur_sethi Ermm…I mean the Indian video they used to preview Quicktime X
@ankur_sethi Saw the shitty video?
@ankur_sethi Disable the browser plugin.
@ankur_sethi g e t m e a n k u r is where I sent it. Check your spam too.
@ankur_sethi Did you get the link? You’ll be able to see 3 videos there.
@ankur_sethi Lemme upload em somewhere.
Wow. In Japan, people are charged to attend weddings.
@ankur_sethi I may have a copy of a few of them.
WinMo 6.5 is WinMo 6 with more icon spacing?
@ankurb Which network are you on? Postpaid/prepaid? GPRS charges?
I remember it took me 3 days to download a 60MB app for Windows on dialup. Now it takes me 7 minutes to download 60MB of HD from YouTube.
Seeing the Snow Leopard demonstrations linked at AppleInsider. http://tr.im/lGGk
@ankur_sethi Ok. It works fine here. You could contact atebits.
@ankur_sethi Tab + Spacebar work just like they should.
@ankur_sethi That’s the one thing it doesn’t have.
@ankur_sethi What
is
wrong
with
that?
@ankur_sethi It works. I remember you telling me you mapped your keys a different way. Is that the problem?
@ankur_sethi What usability issues?
@ManishSinha Waat? You have a leased line?
My landline is working. But each MTNL landline I call is going dead. Weird magical powers.
@ManishSinha Which wont be, if the students there are normal.
@ManishSinha Oh. I’m not sure. My cousin had his 128Kbps connection upgraded by Airtel to a 256K connection for free recently.
@ManishSinha Oooh. TRAI should kill ISPs which offer 128Kbps connections and call them broadband.
@ManishSinha It’s 25MB of awesomeness.
@esukhdev Time to switch. Customer support is so awesome that the people there don’t even know about it.
@ap00rv Lucky you. I’ve been unable to use my phone for two days now.
Awesome. http://yfrog.com/5g4c8p Google is behaving like MTNL too now.
Wow. My MTNL landline is unusable. When I call, all I hear is a weird beeping sequence.
@ManishSinha It worked a few minutes later.
@CruciFire wtf? :S
Wolfram Alpha just got stuck when I searched for x^2+5x+6=0.
@ap00rv Broadband too? That’s just :(
