Of feeding Orkut and being fed by Google
Posted in Blogging, Google, News, Web on June 9, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Orkut has added another feature to its bouquet: that of adding your feeds to your profile. This could mean you can add your Flickr or Picasa Album feeds, or even your Blogger or WordPress feeds. Other feeds like news and jokes from popular websites can be added, if that is sensible. Google also acts [...]

Just as I was ruminating over the done deal of IITK website hacking, an alert netizen points out that the website has been hacked again. This is straight from the website.
ɱcDonalds buys IITk for 40 80 Billion USD (Perhaps our new bid will catch your attention. Yesh, We’re loving it still!!)
I guess this is [...]
The singularity named Google
Posted in Blogging, Google, Web on June 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
With a very unpopular blogger like me as its author, the only hits my pitiful blog manages to generate are from the search engines. In today’s world the search engines are instant oracles. Google has become a verb of sorts and might pop up in the next Oxford dictionary (with a big copyright symbol of [...]
IITK Website hacked

Yes its true! The official website of IIT Kanpur has been hacked by apparently a McD fan. Click on the screenshot to see a bigger image.
The IIT websites, atleast the main pages, are never put to any important use. So not much harm should be incurred, if you ignore the embarrassment of the sysads [...]

If you use firefox (read if you are sane), here is a nice way to make all your searches all the more faster. Yes Firefox lets you add search engines to its search bar at the right top corner of the browser but there is a faster (if you prefer to use the cranky keyboard) [...]

Sage is an extension for Mozilla Firefox, that helps one read subscribed RSS and Atom feeds. It keeps track of read/unread feeds and seamlessly integrates within the browser as a RSS client.

Impressed with the panache of the theme “Quentin” (Theme has been changed on “special” request), I decided to modify my Sage stylesheet to look as close to it as it possibly could. Sage is a Firefox extension for reading RSS feeds, and appears in a list of my favourite extensions. It lets one choose a [...]

Push da button, and off we go. Blogging really is instant moksha, by the digital bodhi tree. I wont say as a blogger I have grown wisdom teeth yet, but it sure has been a long while since I shed my milk teeth. Gee! But hey with every new start, there are those additional drops [...]
