Speak Out!

Words Of a Guy who thinks big!

HP and DH!!!Warning:-Spoilers Ahead

leave a comment »

Downloaded Hp 7 within a day of release in pdf and read it in about ten hours.Plot of the story is quite interesting.Hype over the deaths of characters in the story is so great that i thought the the worst may happen.But the Chosen one lives.So as his best friends.But there were losses too like that of L****,T****,F***,M*****S****etc. A very good book to read but i didnt enjoyed as much as that of HP and Order of Phoenix.

P.S:-At some points,I couldnt hide the fact it same so close to that of the plot written in the fan fiction “The Seventh Horcrux”

Who am I?

with 2 comments

Who am I? I’m not me.I have changed!!!!!!

1.I’m no more a guy who wakes up a whole night and sleep for a entire day.I’m getting up and going to bed a lot earlier.

2.I feel a lot lonely.After a lovely four year with a lot of friends
it’s definitely lonely to be with only a few closer people.

3.Living without blogging,mails,twitter,orkut and whatever i used to do in web.This image explains everything.

By the way,Got time to read blogs and do e-mails after a long gap.

Read loads and loads of blog posts today.Sad to know that i missed a real lot of interesting news and posts.Got to know about MS Surface,Popfly etc now only:-( Meanwhile I’m into .NET now and it’s really hard to miss Java.I like Microsoft but .NET is not my all-time favorite.In office,Javid does love .NET and we end up arguing.

P.S:

1.In the past hour,I found that posts on .NET and C# in my regular reading blogs is higher than usual.Is it directly related to my new stint?

2.Found this and this quite interesting(Thanks Yuvi) although i know nothing about Silverlight and .NET.

Karnataka bans Night Shifts for Women-Where is equal opportunity?

with one comment

Women in Karnataka are likely to be barred from working in Night Shifts.IT employees are exempted though.(Who else will bring revenues?).Karnataka Government is citing safety of women employees for this absurd rule.How come this rule is passed in assembly?The home for Silicon Valley of India is moving to stone age for sure.How in a democratic country which proclaims itself as giving equal rights to all gender,caste,religion etc. proposes an inequality to an entire gender?It’s stupidty at its high. Hope Women are not banned from employed though in future.

Guys,Let us protest for equal opportunity.Ban Night shifts for men too!!!!!!

(Fake) E-book of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows

with 2 comments

This ebook is doing rounds here in the web.I’m not going to provide links to it.Sorry.It just breaches the terms and conditions i agreed with WordPress.This book is most probably a fake one.I just read three pages and felt that it’s style is not at all like that of JKR. Rather, if it’s the original one i will be disappointed with JKR. Let it not be the leaked original.

Update:-

It seems Google is listing my blog as one of the top result for HP and Deathly  Hallows ebook.For those who came here thru Google and found nothing here, try the following links.

Firefox Spell Checker

leave a comment »

I have no idea of writing this post until i found that Firefox spell checker tool had helped me found around 25 typos(disgusting) in my previous two posts.Its so cool.When Firefox 2.0 came with this feature i really wondered whether its such an useful tool?I’m wrong.Firefox rocks!

Find Firefox Spelling Dictionary hacks here. (Linked this,not to make this post a total self ranting crap).

Box.net not accepting uploads

with 2 comments

I felt excited when WordPress announced they are releasing a Box.net(a file sharing service) widget. Thought of trying it out.But Box.net says its not accepting uploads temporarily, for the past two hours.Box.net is losing valuable customers coming through WordPress.Sigh.Box.net,Make hay while the sun shines!

Google History!A helpful tool.

leave a comment »

I thought of trying out the new Google history(previously Search History).Its really good and they had made a major revamp in design and usability.It also has a Trends section which lists our top searches,top sites and top clicks.It provides us a nice graph of our yearly,monthly and hourly search patterns.Really good.This tool can be also used as a quick bookmarker. Just search about a site in Google and its automatically recorded.View it later in History and you can just star it(as in Gmail) to add to your bookmarks.Great!I just came across a nice Firefox extension,Platypus for writing Greasemonkey scripts and i simply searched for it in Google and found related site which i can later refer in my home thru History to install that extension.Google,you are making my life a lot simpler!Thanks.

HP & DH Pre-Order

with one comment

This post is for people who have money lying around and reads only Original copies.

Pre-Order for Harry Potter and Deadly Hallows is now available here with great offers.The ad tempts me but i am not that kind of guy who spends Rs.635 for a book at present.I may grab a pirated e-copy within hours of release.(Sorry Bloomsburry).

Performancing Firefox is real quick.It saves a lot of my precious time.
