Google is Brain Dead

Google Dance happened this week (They have updated their Index, along with updating the shitty page ranking). I donno why google wants to shoot itself on the foot. The already screwed up page ranking system, just got worse and the results are totally meaning less. For example, – Search for search engine and Google itself is ranked 5th. – A week ago if you had searched for linux fundamental, the link to my site would have been the top link, which right now is not even there in the google index. how the heck can they remove a link completely…

Weekend Blast

Finally a ‘non-boring’ weekend. Went to check out this new hangout called Spin on friday. It was jam packed coz of some fashion show, and honestly it did not live up to the hype. Was surprised to see and there ( who were tough to find, considering all the chicks that were surrounding them). Yesterday was ‘s Birthday bash. After making a small pit stop at Alliance Francaise to attend the world music day celebrations, headed to khader’s place. Party really rocked thanks to shanu ( pinky? ), and who can forget the yummy pizza’s. And khader+mona thanks for letting…

Think twice before you lick !

From the latest issue of Crypto-Gram Seattle police needed a DNA sample from a suspect. So they mailed him a letter, and tricked him into mailing a reply back in an envelope he licked. There was enough DNA there to link him to the crime. http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/05/21/old.murder.ap/index.html

F1 Canada

Today’s race rocked. Loads of incidents thought the race. Kimi is really a world class driver. Coz of his goof up yesterday, he started last, came upto 5th position, then his type blew, got back at the end and managed to finish at 6th place towards the end. ravi, did you manage to catch it ? And when was the last time we saw all the 1st 4 cars together at the checkered flag 🙂

Matrix and Geekdom

I finally caught the movie on the big screen yesterday ( after watching it twice on a crappy VCD) . Thanks to rashmiprasad, I managed to get tickets for the 1st day. The more I see the movie, the more I seem to like it. Though the 1st half of the movie, could have been better, the story line is just brilliant and it almost lives up to the first part. I just cant wait to see Revolutions. One thing I really like about the movie is its relation to Geekdom and Religion. I know religion is a sensitive topic…

Work and Music

This week has been one of the most hectic one in recent months. I have written more lines of code this week, then what I have in the past 4 – 5 months. I am trying to make sure, the UI issues in my work don’t bother me ( I’m really sick of making things look pretty, and spend very little time on actual core development ). Well anyway I think I will get to try out some really cool things in the coming week, from xmldb’s to high performance process. There was a Pooja today at the new office…
