httpfuse : best way to aggregate links

Httpfuse is a very simple concept which allows collaborative link aggregation. The strength lies in the fact that a significant part of the functionality is developed and it is well populated with data. I have displayed one of the fuses i developed over at httpfuse, does it not look great. I have worked upon the data collection actually *well it has 4 million odd links* beat that :D. Its probably one of the very few Indian sites to have this amounts of data in its system to be honest. I know the founder, and he has done an amazing job …. and continues to add more value to the simple concept of link aggregation.

[story] the want of boy

boy

***************************************************************************************
Second in the series of stories based on photos. kaa and supreet have also added their stories on their blogs.
***************************************************************************************

This was yet another trip for Dan to Delhi … the huge capital of India, it was all looking good. Camera in hand, some crisp dollars in his pocket-this was a great place to be in. Sophistication was in the air, atleast when he was visiting the forts and monuments around … eveyone spoke in *accented* English. Even the beggar boys were very nice, they would always quench his “want of boy”… yes that’s all he needed to say when he was around in those shady monuments.

This time around he was yet again covering some religious strife in secular India, but then he felt the urge… the need, the want … he turns and finds this kid smiling at him …. the want … he could see the people inside reading their namaaz. All he needed was to exploit that smile for his needs ………..

[story] it all about meme

it is me, meme

*******************************************************************
My friend Supreet started this meme of writing a story based on this picture. He had given me 100 words. I have taken my artistic license a lil far beyond. And I am writing it as a parable. More posts from supreet and kaa
*******************************************************************

Once upon a time in a land far far away existed a magical creature called meme, it had wings it could fly and all the jazz. But but there was a problem, he was the only one of its kind to have survived one of the many ice ages on its planet … turns out the only way he could ensure his potential survival was to exist as a small bug or a bacterium in other *animals* stomach.

It was a compromise as he was one fierce individual who would burn up all the living things around himself by spitting fire … but life has to go on … meme still survives in all of us today. Take for example the story of janet and her so called boy-friend Bob …ohh they so love each other … but then on Friday the 13th stirkes MEME …. ouch

Janet was taking in the beer like a bear … and yes, it was a bad idea … she vomited out all her food. But MEME inside was not satisfied, he wanted more more … Bob managed to incite her and she took some of her vomit and threw it at him (thus infecting him wit meme for the rest of his life) Shocked Bob took to reading xkcd , phdcomics and decided to his PhD thus continuing meme’s legacy.

Some new movie reviews and a bit of E17

So today i watched “Stardust” , a fantasy romance to keep it simple actually. Interesting watch … a 7 out of 10.

Stardust : IMDB

So this last week i have been playing around with couple of really cool things. First of all i tried out e17 which i am loving right now .. and then i setup Samba(a windows network share) on QNX.

So i had an embedded board lying around, and this Thursday i was really frustrated with work … so i decided that i needed to setup the file server i long wished for. So i got the new version of QNX .. tinkered around and viola my own file sharing (40GB of it)… I do think that i should post pictures of it … that is when i have more time off ..
