The "online" dog ate my homework

With home works moving from paper to word pad the reason of "my dog ate my home" can no longer be applied.. Well thats what you think...

Check out http://www.xnet.se/fd/ the file destructor... It gives you a file of a format and size you want.. Its up to your professor to try and open it :D

If nothing else its a nice tool to get that extra day or two.. akin to saying "the dog ate my homework and i need to do it again.."

really loved this....

Google rocks

You know an internet company is really making it big when you have a multi tabbed browser and every tabs opening a site owned by the same company...

i have search,orkut,gmail,maps,and this blogger.... yup they seem to be doing it right...

back to school first glance

being back to school has been such a weird experience.. its so much like doing a new project in a new technology in which your pm has advertised your proficiency and you really just know a knot; yet its also so different..

it has all the thrills of a project for sure.. there are the weekly deliverables(hence forth called home works) the status checkpoints(hence forth the bi weekly tests) and yes the weekly meetings(those are the lectures)

and yet its so different.. there are all those honey eyed guys n girls with dreams to land up a perfect job.. there are the professors who make you stand in their cabins while they sit talking on the phone in front of you and finally there are the smart ass fresh graduates who think they know everything.. lol

am really enjoyin the experience...

The "new 7 wonders" thing

This whole new seven wonders thing is getting on my nerves.. Some commercial organization launches a money making campaign and so many fall prey to it is amazing...

I just can not fathom the need to have a v2.0 of the book called "Seven Wonders". Maybe its the name that doesnt agree with me; maybe they should have named it differently.. "Great Places to See" or something.. atleast that would have made the commercial aspect very clear akin the "Miss Worlds Universe" contest..

Whats interesting is choice of candidates for this new seven wonders.. newly developing nations with strong IT infrastructure.. always ready to pride up that little piece of meat in the global theatre.. sending a single vote by sms is an absolute waste of money.. and these countries have millions who will just do it for national pride.. A million bucks for the mobile operators.. Am sure the new7wonders foundation gets a cut of the money and not the votes alone..

Then there was this "google voting gateway" .. Gave me an mailer dameon when i tried using it.. ordes of ppl trying to use it and i dont see a single mail on the forwards i receive proclaiming its non utility.. People are going crazy..

Less he be outdone the president of some country installs computers at public places to facilitate voting.. maybe he should donate those to a school and have some kids learn some thing useful off it..

Celebrities and self proclaimed heritage gurues blaming govt not promoting our national monument when UNESCOs dissassociated itself from the whole campaign.. i would say one sane thing the govts doing for a change...

The party at Lisbon on 07.07.07 will no wonder boost the tourists for that city but how much will the winners stand to gain? I am convinced zilch !!
