Views, News and Cheers!
Interesting movie making concept: Movie making through online collaboration. The same kind of feeling I got from RGV‘s Factory a while ago.
BTW, online collaboration led to writing very compelling (although very technical) books like Stealing the Network series.
PCWorld posted the first 100 domains registered. Interesting read. It took more than 1 year to register the 11th domain and the 100 list took more than 2.5 years.
Toyota announced potential first ever operating loss (since 1941) for the next quarter. All cars are hitting road bumps!
A new laptop from Lenovo. With 2 LCD screens. More weight. More fans. More cores.
Interesting guy. Last year, he paid taxes with dollar bills and this year with coins. His plan for next year is impressive. He reminds me of one of my friends who used to pay his bus fare in cents and nickels.
Friday, Dec 19th is an interesting day. BSE Sensex, US DowJones and US NASDAQ: all are up or down by less than 1 percent from the previous day. Even if we consider the change from last Friday, none of these indices have gone through a major gain or fall.
Is this going to be a flat season for a while? Let us see.
My Santro went for servicing on Saturday. I got a call from technician that the front shock absorbers are completely gone and they need to be replaced. The trunk struts are gone too, but they don’t have the spares in stock. Overall, it is a long service session. They messed up with the FM antenna during the last service and refused to fix it. So I had to take it to the service manager. Eventually, the FM antenna got fixed too.
The service session costed me about 7,250 Rupees (about $150US). That too, with the trunk struts not replaced yet. :-(.
BTW, the prices of Santro are down to a bare minimum right now. The GLS model, with Dual fuel (LPG and Petrol) feature is not being sold at 3.87 lakhs. The offer is valid till tomorrow I guess.
I never thought explaining flowcharts is this simple!
The first test match between India and England is a very good one. Both teams have put in their best efforts. England dominated in about 9 of of the 14.5 sessions, but India finally walked away with the match. I got a glimpse of the match, especially Shewag’s batting, on Sunday afternoon. A very nice watch.
Expectations soar high for a Puri Jagannadh, Raviteja and Chakri combination. But this album doesn’t live up to those expectations. However, a good filming may make the album hit. That is the typical case with many of Puri’s films.
