The Weird Side of me!

I was tagged by Mahen, who has written some weird facts about him.Now I have to write six properties or acts of me that might seem strange and weird to others! So here we go!!

My mom still hand-feeds me if I am at home!
I cry easily when I miss someone. I think this is weird [...]

My blog featured in a newspaper article!!

My blog was featured in a Tamil article on blogging and related information in a supplementary page of the Dhinathanthi!! The screen shot of the article is given below,
It reads

Spooky!

I was reading Xavier’s post on What would you be if you weren’t in the Information Technology Services Industry?
This set me up thinking. I had been thinking of many ways to drum up money over the days. One was freelancing in web design, something which I am already doing. Another was serving advertisements on pages, [...]

Easy million!

I came across The Million Dollar Webpage again today. It is a totally novel concept of selling pixels to advertisers over a guaranteed five year period and perhaps more which helped the founder of the site, Alex Tew to pay his way through college.
It is kind of interesting to see so many small images advertising [...]

Orkut sucks!

Orkut is a good community website alright, but the functionality sucks in a whole variety of ways. There’s something called the Scrapbook, which is as the name suggests, Scrap.

Create mobile picture messages to be sent through SMS easily!!

I came across this nifty utility for converting conventional image files to the OTA format to be sent as picture messages using your mobile phone. The source code and the binary for the same can be found at The Code Project. Since zipped files are only available for download to registered users(free) of the Code [...]

Monopoly sucks

With the Football World Cup fever at its peak, I consider myself lucky that my Cable TV provider, SCV, has decided to air ESPN on which the matches are shown live. For over two years, some channels were not provided here at Coimbatore since they were pay channels and not everyone was willing to pay [...]

Where is the EXIT?

I am talking about the almost obsolete floppy disk. I have known it to be one of the most unreliable of digital media that I have personally used.
Right now I am looking after an internet cafe. Sathy, my friend, who owns a browsing centre near my place asked me to take care of his cafe [...]

Get-together ‘06

I have informed most of my batch mates from my school about our annual get-together. The response wasnt as usual, not many responded, but having taken up the responsibility indirectly of getting everyone together, everyone expects me to contact everyone and make arrangements and I would be happy to do so, but I am not [...]
