@ankur_sethi Yep. The TRAI doesn’t listen to me since the rest of the population seems to be happy with dialup class speeds.
@ManishSinha Well the kind of patches that break other code not inspected. As in the recent ffmpeg update.
Cloud formation at the AIIMS subway. Seems almost like an explosion. http://yfrog.com/j4p6lj
The Twitter client on the iPhone seems so complete. Maybe Twitter makes more sense on-the-go.
@ankur_sethi Maybe iTunes should use an addon system. But then it would lose ootb support for a bunch of services, devices it supports.
@ankur_sethi Google Chrome is the only Mac OS X app that doesn’t use this system of updates
@ankur_sethi patchwork can be very daunting at many times. The dev can avoid this completely
@ankur_sethi the system does have it’s advantages
The iPhone version of Google Wave seems to have graduated to alpha. Still gives me the ballot chart though. http://yfrog.com/c9z8hj
@lut4rp No patches. Each version of the app has a new build that can’t be generated just by replacing a couple of files.
Starting today I will not use ‘Linux’ and ‘Ubuntu’ in the same sentence. Linu
135,000 vs. 3.2mn. Hope the Droid does better.
@ManishSinha you bought an iPhone? :o
@ankur_sethi you still don’t get how software update works on Mac OS X. For everything other than Google Chrome that is.
@ankur_sethi like?
So my dad switched off the Windows computer. It took me an hour to bring it back up. All I wanted to have access to was my printer.
@ahujaankit LOL. Reminds me of Mapple(The Simpsons).
So HP gave in and handed over proprietary drivers for many of its Windows only drivers to Apple. The list still misses my printer though :(
http://twitpic.com/ndput - Is it just me or do the edges of the display on this MacBook Pro look a little different?
Picasa Web lets you upgrade your storage but forces you to share the space with Gmail. Why not let us use Gmail storage even otherwise?
Ruby October Meetup, New Delhi on 31st. http://bit.ly/3Hr9a4
For those of you with a .edu address. Here’s how you can get your Windows 7 license for 30 bucks. http://www.win741.com/
A few seconds after I disabled email notifications on Facebook, it sends me one saying someone asked me to become a fan of his. Ugh!
DU has Mac labs in South Campus. And these came from there. http://www.flickr.com/ph…
What’s up with you fans? It isn’t that hot.
Use your own URL shortener with Tweetie. http://bit.ly/2DbU8s
@ankur_sethi Bootcamp drivers disc?
@lut4rp Where can I buy Drupal merchandise?
“Don’t be a dick” - http://bit.ly/18PEsn #wikipedia (via @ajuonline)
Going to organise Drupal Workshops in College. Should be fun.
@lut4rp Why didn’t you just wait for the Maemo devices when you knew they’re gonna be out soon?
@rashmiswamy New iMac?
Is it that difficult to make the next version of Photoshop startup in a couple of seconds?
Suncolor, the first photo print shop near Green Park and Hauz Khas is shutting down. Digital cameras killed their business.
Or did they just dub ‘iMac’ over ‘MacBook’?
I wonder how many times Ive rehearsed for the iMac video.
There’s also a new Apple Remote that hasn’t been talked about on the rumor sites or the Apple website. http://bit.ly/4GAtfQ
@adipedia I find it hard to fiddle around with MAMP because it somehow doesn’t seem the same.
I somehow managed to destroy my apache setup. Should have listened to @lut4rp and used MAMP for Drupal.
@siracusa And you don’t need to have POP, AFAIK.
@siracusa Gmail allows you to import old email. http://bit.ly/hk2JY
For those of you who don’t know. Google Wave works best with Google Chrome.
You can never say you like something about Linux without the possibility of an update “fixing” it the next day.

A people free Diwali was a very pollution free Diwali.
Even at 9000 feet the it doesn’t feel chilly. And i packed a dozen sweaters.
Open air jeeps are very cool at 10 degrees celsius.
Thank you Opera Mini for making things so much easier on my crappy S40.
Very nice. More fun with Google Wave after I’m back.
Testing Tweety.
Tweety the Google Wave Twitbot, why did you have to be down right now?
@ManishSinha Nope. Nope. Nope. Just a planned trip.
@ManishSinha Munsiyari.
Goodbye New Delhi. Hope you have a Happy Deepavali. One with less pollution, more lights.
So I finally got a Wave Invite. I have zero contacts. Which means I got an invite from Google.
If something like the guest account bug had turned up in Windows 7, Apple would have made another Mac vs. PC commercial.
@ManishSinha if you pay the doctor 200 rupees then they pay 200 USD. So it’s ok.
Gmail now India’s most used email service.
@lut4rp That too. BTW, ES lost the original black/white themes. Didn’t you notice?
@lut4rp Oh there are hundreds of brilliant paid themes. If I start using them I’ll lose touch.
@lut4rp True, true. I am not complaining because there’s so much more to love.
The themes at Drupal’s theme garden aren’t that great. I think by the time people become good at this, they sell their themes.
@kbhargava LOL. I’m waiting to see the replies.
@ap00rv I didn’t have to do any of this. It just works on Safari for me.
@ahujaankit iTunes killer for Mac OS X.
@ap00rv google.com/ncr
200px x 200px Flash advertisement on the Flickr homepage. It looks like they’re waiting for users to revolt.
@kalyan02 Start.com always had some background to spoil the fun. This is pure minimalism.
@ankur_sethi I shall join the Goonj bandwagon on 20th October.
@kalyan02 You should probably head to google.com/ncr to see google.com instead of google.co.in. It’s important for you to be at google.com.
Ok, so I was foolish to post that. Here’s how you get the minimalistic Google homepage. http://pastie.org/651872…
Head to Google.com.
Paste this in your address bar: [removed]void([removed]=”PREF=ID=2602f2ce49362929:U=7b6893 (cont) http://tl.gd/lfd0
@kalyan02 Sometimes too short for comfort.
@kalyan02 140 characters isn’t easy.
Now, if the whole world used Tumblr, things would be really easy for me.
Hmmph. TextMate 2, where are you?
@ManishSinha Because they have had a tie up with AT&T since the very beginning.
@ManishSinha That’s the thing. Subsidies are handled by the carrier.
@ManishSinha Maybe they’re upset with Airtel and Vodafone for not marketing the device properly.
Apple no longer allows Bharti Airtel to unlock the 3G. http://support.apple.com…
@ManishSinha Yes it happened. But when the same newspapers run contradicting stories, you don’t know whom to believe.
Everyone says so many good things about Ferns N Petals. I need to say only one bad thing - Their website is IE only.
@ManishSinha Marquee? :S This is 2009.
@ManishSinha Flash I like, it’s the player that I have a problem with.
@ankurb Limited testing phase.
Love the new no-button Google homepage with links that fade in. http://yfrog.com/2go6wp
@ManishSinha The point I was trying to get across was that people should let Flash rest in peace. It’s mainly for ads anyway.
@ManishSinha Isn’t your 3 year old laptop still faster than the fastest smartphone available today?
@ManishSinha Because Flash isn’t coming to the iPhone. Counting all other plugins, Flash is the biggest resource hog.
By this year’s end, (after a Software Update) Flash will slow down every smart phone but the iPhone.
@ankur_sethi They had also said it would look different. Does it?
Cancelled my hosting contract.
@shivaas BarCamp = Just talk, don’t do. Maybe they’re done with all the talking.
Oh. 21 years later, Homer isn’t half as funny as he was in the first season.
I now realize that without Shankar Mahadevan’s background music in Wake Up Sid, the movie might have been really drab.
“So what if a computer can beat you at chess? Ever tried kick boxing?”
@lut4rp What answers?
If people don’t know why something is happening, they blame it on global warming.
I’m convinced that Richard Stallman is for FOSS what Steve Ballmer is for Microsoft. Bad press.
@lut4rp My Tweet’s timestamp contradicts that case.
@ankur_sethi Actually, Objective C guidelines.
@ankur_sethi Objective C would prefer @lut4rp’s version.
When I accidentally pulled my table cloth down, the only thing that didn’t come crashing down was my MacBook Pro. Phew! #whomdoithank
@rungta I wouldn’t bet on any such thing. We need competition. If there were no Squirrelfish, Nitro and V8 may never have been as good.
Holy shit. Peter Borg isn’t developing Smultron any more.
Looking forward to the 600km drive to Munsiyari next week.
@fossdotin favorited
@fossdotin whether you welcome them or not, they’ll be paying their delegate fees on 12th.
On syncing with iTunes, the only app iTunes deleted was Facebook. It transferred rest of the downloads and purchases.
@sudhang ha. That’s a good one.
@ajuonline i don’t remember and it’s too late to ask someone who took it. :)
@ap00rv Follow @atebits, Loren’s stream. Or the blog at http://atebits.com/
@ajuonline Um, they’re given pills in their Gnoffee.
@fossdotin when I booted up Mac OS X at Freed.in, some people were pretty offended.
@atebits Great v2. One thing though: the Settings don’t appear on the Settings app.
@ajuonline iPhone 3GS = iPod touch 3G(32/64 gig versions) > iPod touch 2G > iPhone 3G = iPhone = iPod touch
@fossdotin It’s obviously good. *Gives you a pat* I’m surprised no one has shot you down. :)
Whoever tweets at @fossdotin uses Tweetie. I didn’t expect that.
RT @fossdotin: Lots of people are asking about delegate registration for FOSS.IN/2009, some answers here - http://bit.ly/TFepc
So MobileSafari does not support @font-face.
@ap00rv Atebits has something coming for you too. Tweetie 2 for Mac.
@GoogleWavelnfo Just requested my Google Wave Invite! Get yours at http://www.google.com-wa… - #googlewave #googlewaveinvite
@yuvipanda Not with extensions it isn’t.
Tweetie 2 is awesome.
Microsoft will probably display huge ads to annoy people in Office Starter edition. I hope I am wrong and their ads look like Fusion Ads.
@ManishSinha Which is what I had said when I last replied.
If Halo were non existent, people may never have bought as many XBox 360s.
Psst..and logging in with a Mail client doesn’t count.
Yahoo deletes your mail if you don’t login for three months. That’s nice.
@ManishSinha The carrier subsidizing the cost of the phone still needs to pay the full amount to the phone manufact (cont) http://tl.gd/kmvu
@ManishSinha Huh? I meant phones like the iPhone and Hero. Phones aren’t costly there because the carriers charge a bomb for the service.
Crazy. Walt Mossberg says Mac OS X is faster than Windows just by stating that his Mac started and restarted faster than most PCs he tested.
@ankurb And people complain about not having carrier phone subsidies here.
@kbhargava I don’t see a lot of content encoded in RM these days. And now that VLC does RM pretty well, I wonder why people need this bloat.
Sadly, RealPlayer is currently the most popular app being downloaded on MacUpdate.
Seeing what CBSE has in store for those who dont take the class X board exams, students will save themselves the trouble and take the exams.
@ajuonline pikchars?
If you still aren’t sure about whether you should help Teach for India, I’ll try to convince you. http://bit.ly/4xgptg
Teach for India. Do help, if you can. Even if it’s just to spread the word. http://teachforindia.com/
Are there any stores in New Delhi that print tees like Threadless?
@rungta Whoops was talking to someone about YouTube, typed YouTube instead of Flickr.
@rungta It all started the day they added support for video on YouTube. And the Yahoo logo next to Flickr’s.
The Yahoo-fication of Flickr has started. Ruining a good website. http://yfrog.com/13qqtp
Wishing @adipedia a Very Happy Birthday.
RT @pizzahut We will donate 4 meals 2 World Hunger Relief 4 each person who RTs this: http://ow.ly/qWn8 #pizzahut #charitytuesday
@kanduri No it isn’t. It never will.
I hope I don’t have to switch for some time now. http://bit.ly/7pwsh
Switched to Tumblr. Always liked the service. Support is excellent.
Finally something to look forward to in Flash development. http://bit.ly/39Q3d4
If the URL field is ignored, the signup form on Tumblr’s homepage can also be used as a sign in form. One click less.
Lowered my expectations and mnaged to enjoy Wake Up Sid. 3 stars today. 2 otherwise.
On the latest Adium nightly, when someone sends you a buzz Adium reconnects. Funny bug.
@ankur_sethi It was there on Leopard, not sure about Tiger.
@ankur_sethi Debian? Do they use their own display manager now?
@kbhargava Scam. The link says so. It takes you to the Stop Badware website.
NetNewsWire 2 and Tweetie 2 are apps that show us that iPhone doesn’t need multitasking.
Some people are getting Google Wave Invitations in their spam folder. No such luck here.
Microsoft should re-release their search engine every now and then with a new name. Maybe then, it’ll remain in people’s minds.
RT @sudhang RT @sidin: You know what my dad says? Gandhiji started Indian civil disobedience. Forgot to call it off though.
@ajuonline HBO? :)
@shivaas where?
Drupal.com looks very nice. Never knew that they use it to promote Drupal.
Seeing the number of Tumblrs on my feed reader, I wonder what would happen if Tumblr went down. They still don’t have a business plan ready.
