How was 2006 for me.
Bala had tagged me to write this.The problem is that i cant remember anything now.I had never been awake for a new year eve.So the year 2006 too should have started with yet another dream in the sleep for me.Finished college.Got into my career.They are some of the personal milestones everyone would feel happy about,so do I.Cant think anything more now….thats what happens when you write a post on a friday evening,i am half a sleep, half in mood for the weekend.Will write some more if i remember later.
Lets see what anand has to say about his 2006.
Holiday atlast!!
Last two days was my first holidays for weeks now.Got a nice break from work.Did so many things that i made up for all of those weekends that i missed.Watched three movies from three languages.Thiruvilaiadal arambam in Tamil,Empire Records in English,and Lage raho Munnabhai in Hindi,which i was eager to see for so many months now.First and the last was good.Empire records was yuck.Had a get together with college friends at Marina,visited one of my college friend, kumaran’s place whom i didnot see for longtime now.Played some snooker.I was bad at it since i am playing it after 4 months.Finished reading Ignited Minds which i was reading for 2 months now /sigh/.And had my usual nap of 12 hours during weekends.It was great.Looking forward to the next one.
A few Google pages- which normally we won’t see.
We have seen a lot of products from Google like gmail, picasa, googlepages, adsense, adwords,trends,co-op etc. I just got curious to find out their entire product line. So did a Google to find that. (It was a simple site:google.com query on the search string.).Here are some of the rather interesting pages that came up in the search result.
Don’t confuse with the IE with Internet Explorer, this site Provides a bare minimum search engine with only the links coming as result. Great site when you want to search through a large number of search results.
2. Google Gulp
Google’s got into beverage business!!.It’s a drink with autoDrink technology. Lol I think this must be site developed for some April fools day.
3. Google Moms
Photos of moms of those behind Google I guess.
Again photos of moms.
This is a hilarious site developed for April fool’s day in 2000.
6. Google Moon
Similar to Google Earth. It provides the Map of moon. Sure will be of some help when we start touring moon.
7. Google Mars
Well this is for those who think touring Mars is better.
Robots.txt is the file in the root folder of any site which says what all pages in the site is to be indexed or rather what all pages which should not be indexed. This is the robots.txt file of Google. It means that the pages listed in this will not be indexed by Google.
Dilbert Comics featuring Google.
10. Google sets
It returns a list of items which are in the same set as the search query.
Eg: I entered Idli, Vadai and searched it retuned Dosai, RavaIdli etc.:0
11. Google hires for working in Moon.
This is for the ones who don’t want to tour moon but rather stay in moon. This is a job opening in Google for its Moon base.
These are the keys stored in the registry if you are using Windows OS.
This one is for the season. You can download the santa.kml file which works along with the Google Earth. The objective is to find the Gifts hidden by Santa using the clues.
This isn’t the complete list. I found a lot of sites with doodles and holiday logos which I did not include here. You could always do a site:google.com (or something better) search in Google to find out more yourself.
Yuvan rocks in Paruthiveeran
Paruthi veeran is my latest addiction.Awesome tracks by Yuvan.Its quite offbeat with only folk intruments.The songs have good lyrics too.
Tanka Dunga is my favorite.Nathaswaram solo is too good.Vuroram puliyamaram is irresistable.Ariyatha Vayasu,Iayyayo and sari kama pathani are in trade mark ilayaraja style.Son has learnt his fathers style.
Altogether a good indeginous tracks.
Interesting Open Projects
I was going through the list of Best Open Source Projects,found a few interesting open projects….hmmmm they aint projects perse…
Yoism is the world’s first open religion.Yoism joins the already long list of religions around the world.But this is open.Their ideology is inspired by open sourcing.
Was wondering what open humans was…free and customizable humans??
Lol..Its a site where people can be open.Reveal all their secrets.Do what ever freaky thing.
So Religion,human beings wats the next thing going to be open??i am keeping my fingers crossed.
gmatter got patriotic
Thanks to Garlands theme by Steven Wittens.Gmatter is now in Indian Colours.
Ps:this wont last long will shift back to the old theme after some time.
Update:Back to the basics Theme changed
Psychedelic
Credits:The lyrics featuring in this story are real rock lyrics by artists like black sabath,judas preist,Pink Floyd and one more rocker who i was not able to find out.
Whats my name? Did i ever have one.Not that it matters anymore.Now dont give a damn about it.Who has last recognised the existence of this creation of God.Now who is this God.A weird control freak.
Satan My Master
I slit my wrists to drain me of my blood
Satan My Master
Up side down I turn the cross of God
Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
Listen!
I hear you- demon.
You’re a slave
Of your own restrictions
Of Christian morals
Of the book of lies
What am I?
“You’re a slave”
Forever submissive
Forever in holy chains
where is my joint.Hell with it– i have ran out of them.Go get the grass.
The grass dealer will ask money.I already owe him some bucks.
Stop being so humble
Stop showing remorse
Cut it off
deal i am gonna cut it.
There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it’s so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
break it.Break it once for all the world to see.
Twisting the strangle grip
Won’t give no mercy
Feeling those tendons rip
Torn up and mean
Blastmaster racks the ground
Bent on survival
Full throttle hammers down
A deadly scream
All Guns, All Guns Blazing
Grass…..Joints….Grass….Joints….Grass…..Joints…
PAUSE REWIND
“Paul where are you?”
“i am playing in garden mommy”
“now stop playing and come back.” “i dont want you to come back with injuries.”
“10 mins mommy please”
“No.come at once.Its time for you to get ready and go back to the boarding school”
This mommy why is she always not allowing me to do what i want.Always in a hurry to send me back to the school.I hate that School.Nobody likes me there.They all keep me away.Teachers are trecherous they find every lame reason to beat me up.
“where are you??i said come at once..”
“coming mommy”.
PAUSE FORWARD
“shall i join you.I play rugby very well.”
“hey see this kid who wanna come with us and play.you will get killed kid..this is men’s game not kids game.Go play some hide and seek.”
nobody likes me.every one hates me.everyone hates me.
“hey are you feeling alone.”
“yes”
“is everone in the world is hurting you”
“yes”
“wanna be on top of the world.”
“yes”
“now listen.All the world is your enemy”.”I will show you the way to happiness.i will show you the way to punish your enemies.”
“you know something….nobody has ever given even a second look at me….you are the first.”
“would you do anything to retain this relationship.”
“yes ofcourse.”
“good dude.now go to the back entrance of the school,there will be a bag coming in from outside just catch it and bring it to me.”
“hey are you trying to use me to bring in Drugs?”
“Drugs-who said so.Its grass its the grass of happiness.Grass to lead you to heaven.Now go get it otherwise you are going to lose this dude too.”
PAUSE INTERMISSION
That was the first time ever Paul stole something.He stole the marijuana out of the baggage which came in to school before giving it to the anonymous adviser.Afterall ‘all the world’s ur enemy now’.He never knew what to do with it.He hid it in his Brief Case for two days.There was a urge to try it.He almost refrained from it.But then….
PLAY
“dude do you always bring in heaven and never wanna try it.”
“But…”
“Stop the buts..roll the joints”
“nothin will happen right??”
“you little dumbass wont believe until you try once.If you didnt like it.then leave it.”
—-*—-
Thus Paul’s journey started.He tried it once.Didnt like it.Left it.But kept on stacking the grass on his brief case which he stole when bringing in the bag.When the so called ecstasy is so near by and in such abundance anyone will try it once more.And so did Paul.He did it now in good frequencies.
—–*—-
“you know something–When you try grass,You must hear pinkfloyd,black sabbath and the likes.I dont know why,but i dont have grass without rock..and no rock without grass.”
“rock is my messiah.They speak to me.I hear the inherent voice in it.”
Well people look and people stare
Well I don’t think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give?
You’re only killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live
Was the first message he heard.
PAUSE FAST FORWARD
Grass..joints..grass….joints….grass…joints….grass…joints…..
Well people look and people stare
Well I don’t think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give?
You’re only killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live
he heard his first message again now.
Killing Yourself to live.
Killing Yourself to live.
Got a gun but no bullet.How will i kill myself.I wanna taste hell.But how.Swallow it.Swallow what?.Swallow the gun.
Gulp.That was the end of Paul.
