Hall of shame was a famous list of websites which are highly cross browser incompatible website. I was shocked to find Microsoft Vista site highly incompatible on Firefox. Check these shots.
I guess by now many of us might be making a very long list of resolutions for year 2007, I'm no different. I don't have a hard and fast rule that I should go with resolutions as it is, a little bit flexibility is considerable. Here it goes my list...
<1> Stay Away from Chix, I'm too good for them.
I was never into this babing business before. They are too complex and imaginary for me. Its better to lock down my kernel space.
<2> Better find a new job or get back to school.
I never imagined that I would stuck in here. I'm in search of a job that really interests me. I'm fucking confused. I should get back to college I'm not well educated to fit into my dream job.
<3> Go Yoga
I not a guru but still I practiced some of those complex asans of yoga. I need to get back to them. Yoga give me power...
<4> Cheerup...
New concept for year 2006 would be...Just Chill!
<5> Lighten up with pure fun!
do you know that year 2007 going to be real fun! Have Fun!
<6> Follow those five points.
All those space enthusiast who dreamed of getting to NASA or ISRO one day, don't need to loose your heart and fade way those wild dreams. Still you got chances to get yourself embed in those stars and for that you don't need anything beyond clear sky and bright eyes. One day i will definitely have my own huge telescope on the top of the mountain in the backyard of my home. I found a nice post at slashdot about a book on sky watching. Its amazing book with very nice illustrations for each and every day of year 2007 and the best thing is that the complete pdf book is available for free download. Its really excellent job by the author of the book Tammy Plotner. So if on any corner still there is any hope of exploring the wonderful universe go and get the book right away from here >>>>
Happy Sky Watching 2007 :)
After a long battle with proprietary NVIDIA drivers and Xorg setting my linux up with XGL/Beryl. Though there is no 3d accelerations support shown on X settings, the whole XGL thing is working pretty smooth. First I've tried Compiz which is default window manager shipped with OpenSuse. Its was quite clean and looking good, but I need more eye candy stuff. Then I've updated the Beryl window manager along with emerald theme. There are infinite number of options on Beryl settings to customise each and every effect on XGL. Its pretty beautiful on KDE rather than GNOME. I was supporter of GNOME environment but after looking at the beauty of KDE I thought of giving a shot. I can assure that these pretty eye candy stuff will definitely blow the pants off any vista enthusiast. There were lots of customisation but only few among them were pretty. I tried to sceencast the whole thing but I had some problem with vnc2swf, It didn't worked properly. I will definitely post the video if I find a way to record the screen.
What is good about 64 bit? Truly speaking, I didn't care much about 64bit computing untill recently i've got a laptop running on 64bit AMD Turion processor. To the matter of fact i'm not technically sound enough to understand the advantages of 64 bit computing over 32 bit computing. What I used think was that any 64 bit program would execute in larger instruction set or may be on larger cpu registers which might give a better performance over 32 bit computing, but this was a vague idea. As I was searching for the 64 bit drivers for my Geforce Go 6150 graphics card, I came across a informative site about 64 bit computing. If you still doubts about 64 bit computing, I would suggest this would be the best place to find 'em. >>>
The Internet has given birth to a quirky range of modern addictions and maladies, the British weekly New Scientist says in its Christmas issue published this Saturday.
They include these:
Ego-Surfing: When you frequently check your name and reputation on the Internet.
Blog Streaking: "Revealing secrets or personal information online which for everybody's sake would be best kept private."
Crackberry: "The curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother's funeral." BlackBerry is a popular handheld device that can be used for phoning, emailing and web-
rowsing.
Google-Stalking: Defined as "snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates."
Cyberchondria: "A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer."
Photolurking: Flicking through a photo album of someone you've never met.
Wikipediholism: Excess devotion to contributing to the online collaborative encyclopaedia

Ohloh is really a nice web based tool to asses any open source tour. It provide pretty statistics of any project. I was checking on projects like 'Linux Kernel', 'Beagle', 'gcc', etc. There are so many interesting detials like LOC (lines of code), effort of men per year, avg. salary per year per person, total cost of the project, License Info, percentage of code in various languages and percentage of contribution and merging by various contributors and many more..bmp)
There was a pretty live demostration of emerging web 2.0 slide sharing utility. Check out the slides from the slideshare.
Here it goes, BarCamp Hyderabad went pretty nice. I really amazed to find geeks out here in hyderbad, I always thought that only Bangalore would be ultimate geeks planet, but it ain't. This time the BarCamp is hosted by Infosys Hyderabad. I was right on time to the conference, kishore mentioned that barcamps would have some wifi kinda stuff so that you can go with sharing some stuff go with braino clash, but it ain't there. There was lots of fun out there at foss.in, people where present both phisically and on IRC avatar. I got to meet a nice man and he is from Microsoft. He is technical evangelist of microsoft technologies, infact he know much about open source and other technologies around. His machine was on vista and i was running (oops! rather experimenting ) on the opensuse which i've installed the last night. It was hard to navigate on those KDE menus without real mouse. It was quite new kinda interface and I couldnt find application on fly as in ubuntu. Anyway I'll resume my developments on that distro very soon.
Coming back to BarCamp, there was a nice kickoff from pramati technologies. The session from slide share was very interesting. Janakiram gave an awesome (excuse me for the typo) demonstration of Windows live technologies. There was a live demostraion of Messenger Live Bots, which was quite funny. There was quite a interactive discussion among us about the MS and FOSS things that are going around these days.
I was fan of ubuntu distribution for a very long time, but times changed. There is lots of bugs I experience the 32 bit version of ubuntu. Most of the time it doesn't support my hardware. Finally I made a shift to OpenSuse. As of now every things going pretty smooth. Thanks _Riaz_ for taking great pain to burn this stuff for me! Without him I think I wouldn't get this chance to use such a wonderful piece of beauty. They have customised lots of stuff in both GNOME and KDE. Though they offer GNOME as default desktop, I find KDE more advanced than GNOME UI, The start menu which they customised for KDE is far better than GNOME. I'm very sad to say that I couldn't run XGL on my machine though it has a very good graphics core from Nvidia. Behind this attempt even I've crashed Xserver which led to reinstall the whole distro. I think these hardware manufacturers either should release their specs or should release the drivers under GPL, until then I had to experiment on all kinda stuff available on forums and wiki. I'm not very used to yast thing. I love the good old method editing flat files rather, Still I don't feel much comfortable with OpenSuse. I guess time is the healer. BTW http://linux.wordpress.com is one of those great blogs dedicated to help you out with problems on opensuse. In future I would like post some reviews on opensuse. Till then...
Stay Alive,
Happy Hacking!
There were days when I used to hack into Matrix from my Zionmainframe, but some things changed in the source, So I upgraded to new Geek machine to hack into the matrix. This weekend I've got a new laptop and its the best machine I've ever worked on. It has all what I need. I have a personal inclination towards AMD machines with Nvidia Core. I got this machine totally outta my money. I'm searching for a good name for the Devil. I went for a intermediate model as it fits the depth of my pockets. But one day I will definitely go for extreme machine like Acer Ferari or AlienWare. Very soon I will unleash the devil to the Matrix, as of now its offline. I tried Ubuntu edgy eft on it but there is some problem with the display of the boot screen, its fucked up its total dark and not showing any thing. I guess OpenSuse 10.2 would be best choice for me. Already the ISO of DVD is on one of my friends machine and I need to burn it on to disc. This is the configuration of the Death Machine.

This is going to be third BarCamp organised in hyderabad. when I was there at Foss.in, I head that people at bangalore also organised a BarCamp. Recently I was chatting with Kishore from pune and he told me about BarCamp pune which will be totally headed by him. Then I was exited to find BarCamp Hyderabad on the same date Dec 16th 2006. This time its going to be hosted by Infosys, hyderabad. I did some googling about these BarCamps and found many interesting facts about that. In the beginning I thought it might be just any congregation of Linux geeks or some, but its going to be a discussion on latest developemts on Web Technologies like Web 3.0 or RIA and all. The theme for this camp is- "Web 2.0 Communities". So people wanna jam show your ass on BarCamp Hyd.
