Finally! uploaded my pics!
Today morning as i was browsing through my latest ajaxian rss feed, i found a mention of this new AJAX offering called "Twango"! At the first glance, i thought it was one other in the countless AJAX driven social sites, which keep mushrooming day in and out!
But wait, it turned out to be a pleasent surprise as i chose to give it a try. The features are awesome! Simple, elegant, fast, easy and straight forward. And all for FREE!
I'll have to write a seperate post enumerating all its features! :) my! me's started liking this site very much.
Well, it has atleast got me successfully motivated to publish all my collection of photos.
I just started with some selected pics from the NYC trip during may/june 2004.

a moronic message!!!
got a stupendeous sms from an unknown number, out of the blues!
the message contents was in an obscure tamil slang used between college guys.
so, a baffled me called up the number, as none of my friends use such language with me!
it turned out to be a confused youth, trying to converse with this friend 'bharath' aka ME!
Urgh!
Heights!
anyways. i kept the phone down still baffled.
and i get a call back from the same 'youth' after a few mins... and apologising for the mistaken identity!
sigh! for some reason, i didn't get any mad at all, on this fella.
to err is human right! and i had better things to do than to shout at an unknown face!
accepted the apologies and let him go.

Tip # : Zeroing in on searches effectively
While trying to find info. on an topic, where you don't have any specific starting point or even a concrete phrase
to base your searches on, the following approaches might help.
Taking a case, wrt., our website data organization and the IA, i wanted to check out on the cataloging / organization of
data as a part of the study of library sciences and the search and retrieval process as that was the closest thing our
business need would match.
I remember to have read a specific kind of mechanism / numbering system / algorithm related to the categorization of huge
volumes of data. But the search was not going be easy, as the subject of my search itself was a non precise, vague rememberance at best described in my own words.
Not good .. Not any good at all.
So, what do i have in my hands? Just a few words to state precisely. and to begin with.
a. Library Science
b. Algorithm
c. Some kind of numbering system / Maths
d. Organization / Cataloging mechanism
e. Classification System
#1. Google for any of the various phrases
#2. Check out the wikipedia, for the subject you search (for ex. library science)
#3. Check out for online glossaries related to library science
and after hitting onto a library sciences glossary, voila, found what i wanted :
Dewey Decimal (DDC) scheme.
Whew! And it took a best part of 20-30 mins!
now getting deeper into Dewey Decimal Classification, it is becoming more clear that i can pick up some very interesting and releavent points which can be applied onto our business - but for achieving similar purposes - to organize, catalog and retrieve vast amounts of information, quick and easy. Oh yeah - the DDC also talks about retrieving related info., along with the exact!
Perfect - for our catalog ... taxonomy... and searches!
Okie, now am off ... delving into DDC for more!
(boy! this feels good)

A Thanks for the ban!!!
ஆயிரம் நன்றிகள் - இந்திய அரசுக்கு!!! (and to the ISP's as well : ISP - ஜை தமிழில் எப்படி மொழிபெயர்ப்பது என்ரு தெரியவில்லை)
Found 'Tor' and 'FoxyProxy' because of the ban on reaching blogspot.com, so i could see my own blog! (let me be very clear, am most worried about accessing my own blog rather than being interested on viewing the controversial blogs, which caused the govt. to issue such a ban)!
Tor & Foxyproxy - the combo is such a beauty to work with!
Great way to proxy!
Awesome!
Am Elated

blogspot.com blogs blocked by indian isp's
From Yesterday onwards, the blogspot.com domain is no more accessable : Thanks to the indian government and the Indian ISP's.
Now i've to find ways / another blog server to move my posts.
Sigh! why does the govt. want to do that???!!!
What is going to be achived by this blockade?
Is this a mistaken move by the ISP's - blocking the whole domain instead of blocking a certain special blogs?
How long will it take for these blocked blogs to reappear in different servers, across the www?
How can this extra terrestrial intelligent prevent using public proxy servers to access the banned domains?
Is it not in the human nature, such regimentation will lead to finding ways to bypass these limitations (which could be more intimidating!!!)
Buliding dams over the www? eh?!!
Nonsense!
Intelligent Babu's!!!
Foolish moves!!
When will this blockade be over?

Realisations...
After i started to blog in both tamil and english, i realise how much rustic and clumsy my grasp on tamil, has become.
What the heck, i can't fluently think in tamil and it dawned upon me that the de-facto language my thoughts are concieved are in English!
mmm, now, dunno if that is good or bad.
(for the curious question of how this realisation dawned upon me out of the blues - well, if you think fluently, you can pen fluently and since i was trying to pen my thoughts in tamil, i realised how clumsy i've become!!!)
Simple!
But i certainly realise one thing .... it is time to brush up my basics on the linguistics front.

செந்திலுக்கு ப்ரமோஷன்
:) செந்திலுக்கு ப்ரமோஷன் கிடைக்கப் போகிறது.
இன்றோ-நாளையோ அப்பாவாகப் போகின்றான்.
இருவருக்கும், ஓரு நாள் இடைவெளியில் திருமணம். And more similarities.
(எனக்கும் கிடைத்திருக்க வேண்டும் - ப்ரமோஷன்!!! ஆனால், இறைவனின் சித்தம் வேறு விதமாக உள்ளது. But anyways, it is not
something i would regret. He has already blessed me again. என்ன, இன்னும் ஒரு ஏழு மாதம் காத்திருக்க வேண்டும்.
அவ்வளவுதான்) ;)

First tamil post
இது என் முதல் தமிழ் வலைப் பதிப்பு. தமிழில் என் வலைப் பதிப்புகளை வடிப்பதற்க்கு நான் உபயோகித்து வந்த w.bloggar மூலம்
இயலாததால், புதிதாக zoundry blog writer என்ற மென்பொருளை பயன்படுத்த வேண்டியாயிற்று.
But it just feels Awesome at the end of the exercise!!!!
வார்த்தைகளில் விவரிக்க முடியாத உணர்ச்சி.
ஒரு இனம் புரியாத மகிழ்ச்சி. :) ஏதோ கிடைத்தர்க்கு அரிய பொருள் கிடைத்தாற்ப்போல்!!!

Another curious coincidence??!!
I found this visitor, having bumped on to my blog and out of curiosity i visited back his blog.
To my surprise, this blog turned out to be full of internal conversations and thoughts that runs on one's mind. like as if, providing an interface to one's mind.
In particular i enjoyed this post ... "From Absolute to Relative **". and for a moment, that sounded like reading myself - my own thoughts.
and what more curious was that, thought sequences i've had within myself, but never could put on the web was out there!!!
This exactly would be how i would have put to pen, of the thoughts and conversations with myself.
Any possible connections?
PS : Oh, here's more to his blogs:
Mystery of Existance
Pre-Blog Writings
Transdual View
Society & Ecology
Design
Rants

Co-Incidence
A Quote i got in my mailbox today, exactly capturing my frame of mind in its present state.
Call it co-incidence. :)
"Strive for perfection in everything. Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn't exist, create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough."
Henry Royce (1863-1933)
English industrialist, co-founder of Rolls-Royce

Showdown
Quite a Day! Quite a Day!
Arguments, Issues, Confrontations, Firings, Survey, Meetings et al.
Too much action for one single day!
Lost my temper, Was damn so angry, skipped lunch and finally met with FT to reach some conclusion.
I Wish i could be more expressive on this but, well, i'll stop with this!
