The 11/3 Project: Takeback your appendix

2009-11-08T15:38:00.001-05:00

Glenn Beck has been an interesting character in the news media. Being a media person himself, he has been successful in drawing much attention. In this clip John Stewart , a comedian from Daily Show, mocks the 11/3 program. If you were aware of Glenn Beck style you will find it interesting presentation. I am taking it as a light fun! This is little controversial matter of discussions. People

at&t: wake up, it is Day Light Savings already

2009-11-01T12:08:00.000-05:00

This is my second year with at&t service. Let me tell you besides multiple dropped calls, when it comes to the day-light savings time at&t is a big FAIL! I remember that I had written similar story last year... http://ajabgajab.blogspot.com/2008/11/day-light-savings-what-time-is-it-now.html Last year, the clock was not re-set till 2/3PM. The improvement is that the cell is updated at around 11/

On time evolution of Nepali Language

2009-10-31T09:15:00.002-04:00

I was reading an excellent piece of Basanta jee's writing on Nepali Language. http://www.basantagautam.com/2009/01/blog-post_23.html However, One also can not deny the time evolution of language. The out-cry was there when we decided on 36 consonants in Nepali Varnamala. It is also quite interesting that different people around the world have different accents and hence different number of

2009-10-19T15:14:00.003-04:00

Gliding from mountaintop should be fun... mixed with a close invitation to death. Follow these crazy adventurers falling off the cliff and gliding. People call them Bird Men.

// Mistake on "http://"

2009-10-14T15:02:00.000-04:00

It gives me sheer excitement to think of being able to make a mistake which would trouble generations to come... :P The creator of the WWW has confessed that the // in a web address were actually "unnecessary" [1]. I remember being irritated when people start spelling or typing http://www..... dot com or something like that. Since I have been using Firefox for the long time, ctrl+L, nabinkm+

No! Nope! Nada! Saturday Night Live

2009-10-07T16:59:00.001-04:00

The following is a clip from Saturday Night Live, embeded from Hulu. This pitches strong comedy onto the presidency of Obama. The main topic is: What did Obama do in 8 months? Last year Saturday Night Live was famous for showing Sarah Palin Mimic by Tina Fey. I had one post here. I think it would be less painful for the politically motivated people to watch the comedy and take it as way of

Get More Google Chrome Themes

2009-10-06T20:51:00.000-04:00

Google Chome has new themes online! Go ahead and try some... https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html I noticed it from the bottom curve of the chrome. I think this is one of the nice way to get attention to new feature. I have to admit that even though I loved Firefox the most, I love the speed that Chrome brings to to browsing. It might be the 20 ad-ons I have been using

Michael Moore's: Capitalism: A Love Story

2009-09-27T11:36:00.003-04:00

I have been hearing about the movie by Mike Moore: "Capitalism: A Love Story" The reviews are very mixed and very compelling at the same time. I am not an economic expert, but it seems to be an interesting presentation on how the American/world economics is driven by some people. Let me put it this way: When you put a driver in driver's seat to drive a public vehicle, the driver needs to

Enjoy Podcasts in Ubuntu

2009-09-25T13:44:00.007-04:00

Listening to podcast while working is fun. It reminds me listening to the radio programs while I was doing my homework back in primary school! I found the feature of podcast in the Rhythmbox music player. Simply add the podcast RSS into the "new" button and life is easy! One of my favorite is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/ The 'discovery' by BBC is also very nice one. I am looking for

Happy Vijaya Dashami to All!!!

2009-09-18T19:50:00.001-04:00

I would like to wish Happy Vijaya Dashami to all!!! Dashain is one of the major festival for Nepalese people. The description goes beyond the capacity of words. It used to be the national festival of Nepal and I suppose it still is. Besides the fact that Nepal has been named as a secular country. Culture and religion are so tied with the people that it does not matter what is written there. I

Impact of President's Speech on Kids...

2009-09-12T08:54:00.000-04:00

There has been talks for and against the President's talk to the school kids. For people like me, who used to be taken out to rally from school to shout politically motivated slogans for or against political leaders and the submerged in such propaganda, this is not a big deal. Not even debatable. The debates on whether president should talk to school kids were taken to interesting level by media.

Trying g-Chrome in Ubuntu with Flash enabled

2009-08-21T13:40:00.002-04:00

What makes Chrome attractive is its speed and sleek look. The Chrome for Windows has picked up its grab of users (and counting...), the reason is very obvious. Today, I was playing with the Google Chrome on Ubuntu , and eventually got the "beta" version installed (Named Chromium). Even though it is named as "unstable-Chrome", It is pretty much stable for me, for now. I added --enable-plugins to

CDTA bus: few comments

2009-08-18T10:58:00.002-04:00

Hello! I am a SUNY student and use route#12 (and 10/11). It is the best and only public commuter service here, free for students with SUNY/ RPI / Saint Rose College card. I am just curious about some stops being dis-connected on route 12. Do you have posted info about it on your website/blog? 1. The riders are basically local students who does not have car or low income families. 2. I saw

Kubuntu DVD on sale at cheap price!!!

2009-08-15T16:40:00.003-04:00

I felt this one was ridiculous! Number One: The CD/DVD image is available for free at: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/ Number Two: even if one would like to buy open source operating system, one should try to support the system. Compare with MS OS: amazon link for MS-OS However, Someone else (not canonical) is selling the DVD on open market. Who does

The Dark Side of Remittance!

2009-07-15T12:15:00.003-04:00

After anyone returns from Foreign country, people think that s/he earns a lot of money. This is general thinking of general people. The mindset creates such environment that everyone wants to go aboard. I am basically focussing on the Laborers going aboard. Going aboard is a nice experience, but one should be psychologically prepared of the consequences. Many people do not consider the worst case

I am starting by assuming that You are not new to Gmail (beta). I know Gmail has been beta forever, so nothing to miss yet! Some people have had hard time to migrate to Gmail. I can promise you one thing: Once you jump in, you will love it!!! So, what is so different about it?
