Yay!

Do your computers used for developing your websites run Linux? Were you pissed off by all the dirty layout/script/rendering problems for the same on Internet Explorer? Now it's time for you to scream Yay!

Kudos to Web Expose, check this article to find out How to get IE 5.0, IE 5.5, IE 6.0 and IE 7.0 (release) running concurrently on Linux.


I found this out through /.

"Agent Smith"s on ORKUT!

Remember the character Agent Smith from the Matrix trilogy? The character who has thousands of clones!



Just cited the reference above since i remembered it immediately when a strange incident occurred recently to me! (This post was to be written a couple of months ago, but i am posting it now due to lack of time then!)

Someone had created a fake profile of mine in ORKUT! The fake profile was an exact clone of my profile! and the only difference was the number of friends!

He/She, whoever it is, was very clever and had already started adding all the people on my friends list!

I did not come to know this till some of my friends started asking me why another profile when i already had one! They thought it was me who created the profile and thought it was one of those pranks which i casually did!

I was taken for shock when i saw the fake profile, luckily he/she had not abused anyone using it, else there was a chance that i would have been mistaken by my friends.

I decided to get rid of that profile immediately, sent out a mail to all my friends to report it as a fake profile. I also did the needful from my side by lodging a complaint on "Impersonation" in ORKUT.

Surprisingly fast enough, By next day morning, the profile was gone!

Now i do regular checks on orkut to find any so called clones or fake profiles of myself, which i suggest to all my friends since anything can be done and end of day, you will be held responsible since it was done on your name!

On a last note, getting a profile deleted in orkut is not that easy! Since i had a huge circle of friends(close to 700) i could do it easily! ORKUT has some threshold to decide if the profile is actually a fake one, if you don't get it reported to that level, you cant get the fakes deleted, so better be careful!

The best thing about being me is that there are so many of me.

A Phenomenon called YAARI

Social Networking Rocks!

Here's an excerpt from a comment i left on the blog of a social networking site called Yaari

Social networks will become an inseparable part of people who are hooked onto internet, as of now, the net is drawing more and more people towards it… People will definitely get in once they start recognizing the awesome power and usefulness of social networks (for example, i started orkutting more after i got in touch with school friends with whom i had lost contact for past 8 years)…

Yaari is a new entrant in the whole plethora of social networking sites out there! None of these sites were interesting to me after i came across ORKUT! But Yaari is a different story! I am hooked to Yaari since the time i joined, It has cool fresh look and feel with vibrant colors and guess what, The interface is done in AJAX! Rearranging page elements is as easy as it can get!

Will write more on Yaari sometime later... try it hands on!
