Doordharshan will be the first channel in India to serve high definition content.
@ankur_sethi I’m always reminded of Ballmer in Pirates of Silicon Valley when I read some news story that quotes him.
@shivaas That’s like the shittiest news site around.
Mac OS X update 10.5.7 has increased my MBP’s battery life to 4.5 hours(web browsing over WiFi).
@sudhang Wow. That’s a whole lot of movies.
Twitter’s homepage looks slick.
Busy at college, Busy at home. Life is fun.
Haven't seen this before. Happened the moment I restarted my PC and switched to Windows. http://yfrog.com/0o9c0p
AdSense spots suddenly flooded with Google Chrome ads.
GI Joe next month.
@ajuonline Cost to Cost or Computer Empire
@ankur_sethi Is HCD09 over?
RT @ankur_sethi The Free Software Foundation are a bunch of whiny douchebags. I couldn’t care less about what RMS has to say these days.
@ankur_sethi Yes.
@ankur_sethi It’s become annual. I’m not sure but I think it happens at different times of the year in different colleges. Ours is now.
So many blog posts sponsored by 9.9 for 9.9 products. No one seems to be saying they’re being paid for though.
Some weird (annual) teachers’ strike today. But our lucky class is taught by some non-OBC non-permanent teachers who can’t go on strike.
Wikis hog on storage space because they store every idiotic edit as a separate entry even if all that’s changed in the edit is the edit date
@ankur_sethi Why shouldn’t we be using the internet there? :S
@ankur_sethi We’re actually more productive this way. Why shouldn’t be using the internet there? :S
Today we setup our own Ubuntu cluster from scratch. Details on WikiEducator. Next step is to add more nodes. http://bit.ly/XcjdG
@ankur_sethi On the PIs in the cluster lab where some machines have just X(Xorg and Xvesa don’t work!), we use Lynx as our browser.
Google News doesn’t let me choose sections on Lynx? Why Google, why?
Firefox for Windows following the Chrome path. http://bit.ly/WAaZC
Daughtry “You Don’t Belong” #aolradiorequest
@KIMDAURIA huh?
This month is going to be a Daughtry month.
Daughtry out with new album. Pretty good too!
‘Make Your Own Kind of Music’ on a continuous loop.
@emkwan Fun. Miss having such arguments after joining college.
@sudhang Are you adding to what you originally said? As in patting your own back?
@shivaas Dude, Amazon.
@sudhang You mean the way you think about Stallman? No way!
@sudhang It starts with the 5 rupee pen I use. I like it. I talk about it. And I say its name out loud.
@sudhang I just threw the dart on the dartboard you showed me.
@sudhang Say all you want. The moment you use something else, you’ll know the difference.
@sudhang typo in previous reply: should be ‘its value’ instead of ‘it’s value’
@sudhang Your “gift” loses it’s value because you’re not able to play Ogg. So you should return it for something you like better.
@sudhang That was more for blogs. The second link is what you need to look at.
@sudhang And I know you love your mp3s. Oh wait, you listen to FLAC? Move to analog man.
@sudhang Of course you’re a user. A pathetic one too. If you cared so much, you would have found a way to get an Ogg alternative.
@sudhang OMG scary! http://bit.ly/5UBQ4 http://bit.ly/11bOJn
@sudhang You own one too. Amazing that you’re so cynical about the whole thing.
@KritiA That would have been weird.
@KritiA Now that really makes me want to to say “eh”. So, eh?
You will soon be able to order pizza from Pizza Hut on your iPhone OS devices. http://bit.ly/DXDZY
@itsanimesh I bought a Netgear for 1550 and a Belkin 1590. The Belkin one rocks because it lets you use it as an access point too.
@itsanimesh How much does GPRS cost you on Vodafone?
@gursartaj lol. Where did that come from?
I love the way a Gmail message gets grouped with replies. That’s the one feature I miss on Mail.app.
RT @blah_bleh Must watch on Mumbai terror attacks. http://vimeo.com/5409826 (via @rungta) You should watch this.
LOL. People just can’t make up their minds. http://bit.ly/AR2Qj
@ajuonline Tell me where you finally get one. All the details.
@ajuonline I want one too.
Don’t risk destroying your Super Drive. Stick to VLC 0.9.9 till bugs are fixed and discs stop spinning at insane speeds.
@sudhang normal people?
Just came back from a shopping spree. Clothes at Westside are awesome. Levis, Lee have reduced prices to half. The money I earned - Gone!
So much for Schmidt dismissing Twitter last year. http://bit.ly/G1DVF
@ap00rv http://bit.ly/QhozQ
This page says it doesn’t.
Awesome VLC mod that makes it look more like Leopard. http://www.mediafire.com…
@ap00rv If you have your GPRS settings right, it should switch to EDGE whenever possible automatically. On S40, the small G on top becomes E
MTNL’s EDGE coverage ain’t bad. When I have network coverage, it’s actually pretty fast.
@ap00rv I thought it was weird when I heard a person say say “I’m Google. What do you want to search today?”. Try it. http://bit.ly/Ddwen
Most of the Heroes and Lost episodes are exactly 42 minutes long.
@sudhang Did you pick this up from that stupid show too?
@kbhargava Quality no, but audibility yes. http://bit.ly/iPnAH
VLC turned 1. And it didn’t turn into a Twitter trend? #theworldisending
Picked up a graphic design job at 9.9.

@karmanya Ahem. WinModem? Dial up?
@ap00rv Forget 3G, I’ll be lucky if I am able to have a coversation with someone without the connection dropping.
@ankur_sethi if this is a book used by a good number of colleges here, then you’ll find the rupee edition that will be much cheaper.
@emkwan you RT yourself?
Anyone who uses the word ‘fanboy’ in an offensive way only cares about hits. And they always start articles saying they aren’t fanboys.
By not saying much about Chrome OS, Google gets to read a lot about what the community expects from it. Great way to gather information.
@karmanya And why are you still using Windows?
How does the supplementary exam system work with regular courses(not following the semester system) in DU? How can total marks be just 400?
@ap00rv and since nobody uses brute force to chose a network based on the password, there’s no need to broadcast the SSID.
@ap00rv They don’t need to change the SSID to do that, do they?
I wonder why people like to broadcast their SSIDs.
Belkin Routers are the most feature rich. I’ve set it up as an access point, to simplify all the port forwarding for VNC.
@ankurb The website looks very 1995.
@ankurb the usual. Pointless, really.
@yuvipanda Seems like fun to me :p
@yuvipanda Still, I don’t understand how that is bad?
@yuvipanda That doesn’t answer my question. There’s nothing wrong with the Linux kernel. It’s an excellent base.
@yuvipanda And how does that stop it from being awesome?
The first app I used with Push Notifications looks pretty awesome. It’s an IM app called eBuddy. Some neat UI too. Hate the blue though.
Me too. RT @gakman I, for one, welcome our new Google Chrome Operating System overlords.
Creating a little Joomla installer of my own that does a little more than fantastico.
Thinking of picking up some HTML5 projects.
@emkwan Any case. I think ZAGG’s InvisibleShield is an exception.
@emkwan Oh, you think that case wont scratch it? The scratches will be neatly carved. I wish they had an aluminum version like the nano.
Now why the hell does Mozilla not want to build a Firefox theme like the one Camino uses?
@sudhang I don’t think so. Unless you can write a script to maintain the encrypted XML database.
Very, very difficult to keep an iPod touch scratch free.
@sudhang doesn’t fedora bundle gtkpod ootb?
The export option in Pages ’08 was way better. DOC exports look so weird.
@sudhang Every friggin Indian.
@ap00rv Michael Emerson was by far the best actor in the show.
@ap00rv I don’t know. All the tome travel was a little crazy. Didn’t like season 3 and 4 as much as the others.
@sudhang jeez, you too?
@gakman nice. Progress?
Finished watching all seasons of Lost.
@karmanya In 5 minutes.
Here’s how you find out who manufactured the LCD on your Mac - ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed “/[^<]*</s///” | xxd -p -r | strings -6
@ahujaankit The only way you’ll get it with support from Apple is when you buy it legally(Airtel/Vodafone). Very expensive option though.
@Pixelgun I don’t think you will. But it may take some time getting used to if you’ve used Joomla for a long time.
All text wallpaper with Apple logo. http://bit.ly/v7vjc
Awesome ad network for FOSS-related websites. http://adbard.net/
@ap00rv It’s actually pretty decent. I can’t get the encoders working though.
@ankurb I don’t actually mind it being there, most of the websites I’ve using Joomla have menu categorization. I just don’t use content cat.
@ahujaankit You could check out Pricegrabber. Some StoreFront sellers there even ship to India free.
@ahujaankit Saw some of your GSOC code. Neat. Is anyone working on improving the menu item creation in the administration section?
@hilsatlvsonline Probably will.
@hilsatlvsonline Is Drupal that old? I think I’ve pampered myself using Drupal, seeing the hundreds of little additions with every iteration
@hilsatlvsonline Create the article, go to the permalink and then edit them from the frontend. That’s still a lot of work.
@hilsatlvsonline I know that and it’s so difficult. If this were possible on the page where I create the article, it would be so awesome.
Joomla is still as unusable as it was 2 years back. You can’t create articles, and link them on menus directly. Drupal rocks!
I understand that most WordPress plugins still serve XHTML code. Now that 2.0 is dead, I hope they start supporting HTML5.
I’m still not used to Safari 4’s progress indicator. Firefox 3.5 is way better than I thought. After changing the default theme, that is.
@shivaas Nope. Bad luck.
@adipedia I meant FLV by Flash.
@adipedia Huh?
@adipedia Google plans to support both Theora and H264 in Chrome. Someone leads the way, others are fast to follow.
@adipedia It’s a start. Better than Flash, any day.

On Thunderbird 3, you can archive emails like you do on Gmail.
@ankurb I have no idea. But 2 new Seagate HDDs that I bought last year and the year before that stopped working.
@ankurb Maxtor is a Seagate brand. But the Seagate Free Agents I’ve bought never lasted like the Maxtors have.
@gursartaj I think they gave themselves some space if they ever need it for ads (even though that seems unlikely) or something.
@ankurb I think WD is probably the best. I’m using a Maxtor right now. But I think it’s all luck.
@kbhargava All my Seagate(other than my Maxtor external HDDs) hard disks have failed. My 5 year old internal WD works just fine though.
Maxtor is Seagate’s low cost external hard drive brand but those are way more reliable than the expensive hard disks they sell.
@karmanya will send you one in some time if you like.
@ajuonline I thought htc hero was a device.
@ap00rv unfortunately this doesn’t look like an April fools’ joke.
@rungta I was looking at Ogg A/V as an open(better?) alternative to FLV. Kinda unique too.
