Woah! - Ye mera India
I just found out that I’ll be going to India in late September for a week - work related. Woah! It’s been like 19 years since I was there last. I have mixed feelings. My first thought was that I want to go to Meerut (where I was born and am very fond of that town) and eat some Gajak! That’s an off-the-hook Web 2.0 name for mithai. My next thought was - holy shit - what if...

Apple TV finally hacked for USB storage expansion →
I think it’s getting close to the time where I finally put down for the Apple TV. I’ve been looking at getting one of these mammie-jammies for a while now, but my issue has been the limited amount of content that I could possibly use it for. Ideally, I want all IPTV available through this unit. I know I can download video podcasts and use it for that, and for my pictures. What I...
Scrambling
So today being a nice and rainy day in Boston, I decided to stay in and enjoy my day off. And oh, let’s play Scrabble. I got my ass handed to me in both games. Next time I land up with a ‘Q’, I’m not gonna wait for the stupid ‘U’. WTF!! Soon as I throw the ‘Q’ back in the bag, the next letter I got was a ‘U’ - go figure! My...

Science and Atheism are NOT faiths. →
FTA: “Science has a number of core assumptions. … it is generally assumed that the laws of physics are the same for all observers… These are the sort of core assumptions atheists make. If such basic ideas are called “acts of faith,” then almost everything we know must be said to be based on of faith, and the term loses its meaning.”

“If the US-India agreement is really consistent with the letter and spirit of the Hyde Act, as the administration claims, why won’t they release the text?” Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) asked in a statement released his office late on Friday. | Laws… just more of that annoying paper

I can’t believe I wrote 400 + lines of pl/sql and overwrote the stupid file with garbage. The way I justify it to myself as not being a self-smacker is that when I write the same crap the next time around (which i’m doing now), I’ll write it better and it’s gonna just compile like it ain’t nothin’. God Damn I’m Pissin Mad!!!
Once again it's on!
I’m finally getting my act together and starting to put together the groundwork for my next project. I hope this one is going to be huge. It’s a good way for me to come up to speed on some web2.0 scripting. All these social networking sites and apps are getting to me though. I’m gonna do something different. Something sick crazy. Time is my enemy though :( The domain is...
