Our president asked?
What should we do to free our planet from terrorism?
And everyone, including kiran bedi, leander paes and seri ravihakar answered. Read it here

Wanna know what type of a persion you are? Myer Briggs is a standardised, and widely respected personality test. Test yourself.And then, as the Oracle said, know thyself.
BTW, I am an Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging. Oh but I knew that already.

Programming Joke? Is that the joke? Well, no. We geeks can be funny too.
When Shakespeare asked, To be, or not to be?, he did not provide the answer. But programming can. Well the answer is FF.

2B |~ 2B = FF

Explaination:
2B hex = 00101101
(bitwise NOT) 11010010

What is nanowrimo?
NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is a creative writing project originating in the United States in which each participant attempts to write a fifty-thousand-word novel in a single month. The project was started by Chris Baty in July 1999 with 21 participants, and has been held annually in November since 2000. Despite the name, the project is now international in scope. In 2005, 59,703 people participated and 9,765 were declared winners, each having written at least 50,000 words. The cumulative word total for all participants in 2005 was 714,227,354 words.
From wikipedia

Since in next two years I have to write two movels, (have you read my todo yet? Previuos post.) It was necessary I start. I have far too many half written novels none of which have been completed. Possibly a deadline will force me to do so.

My Progress

My long term goals
Apart from the second last one, every thing's pretty achievable, won't you agree?

Working is really a lot of work! No, really. Its not like college, where you have all the time in the world to goof off. I have been so busy that I have not been able to write in a month. Now that means something.
But I have been busy with more than work. Read a lot. Shopped a lot. Its amazing what a shopaholic suddenly having a lot of money can make you. When you get from getting 3K a month to 30K a month, you really get mad and buy everything in sight. Bought a bike. A red APACHE. Am I elated.
Oh and parting, what Have I been doing/reading lately,

Ok there is no doubt about the fact that the government has been trying to shutdown blogs. I mean come one Mr. Government, did you even ask your security experts about the feasibility of this block. Do you really think that by cracking down on number of Blogging sites you can stop communication between terrorists? Oh no, those poor terrorists, they can't even afford a domain name.
Heard of something called proxy? Oh, forget that I asked. Do you even know that Blogger alllows posting by email. Heard of Wordpress MU. It allows anyone to set up their own blogging platforms. What are you trying to block.
I know the terrorists are dumb people, but are they dumb enough to post their communication to public blogs?
India has 1.2 million bloggers, but I guess they donot count. Right? Miniscule minority.
I wonder who gave a such a order. Probably some babu sitting in some nondescript office, who just heard the name of blogs and email. Tossed a coin. Heads I ban blogs, tails I ban email. I guess we should be thankful that the coin landed head.
But who am I kidding? Blogs have been banned. Means you can't read my blogs. How do we fight this stupid legislation.

Finally, just the updates,

I donot know how much of this is true, but there are some disturbing signs.

So India joins the illustrious leage of China, Pakistan and other Dracon-law countries. However I am still able to acces my blogs, My stats show that I am having a number of visitors from india, so erm not sure if anything like that has been implemented.

Sometimes you just come across a blog entry which you are forced to acknowledge. A post so good that you must step asiede and say "Dude, you rock". http://aphrosh.spaces.msn.com/blog/cns!406153B977C7BE5
is an open letter to the Mumbai Blast terrorists. And man, am I touched?
Salute to you Mumbai. But salute to you too Bombay Brat.

We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis or ....
WE ARE MUMBAIKERS (Bombay-ites, if you like).....
The city has simply dusted itself off and moved one - perhaps with greater vigour.

Amen.
