Gimme back my creativity!



What's Next In Science Technology - Unravelling the secrets of a 2,000-year-old computer - Greek technology was far more advanced than previously thought



Never hear of such things being made these days. Creativity seems to have halted in its tracks. I can hardly think of any bright idea! Or is it just the dumb me? :P

Good news for Linux enthusiasts?

French parliament dumping Windows for Linux | CNET News.com


Not sure how much this means for the Linux community and open source community. However I hope it does influence sections of french population to shift to Linux from Windows.

Truth of Abu Ghraib reiterated - But for deaf ears?

Rumsfeld Okayed Abuses Says Former U.S. General

"Make sure this is accomplished" -  The truth of Iraq and American despotism keeps coming out again and again. I wonder if anybody's listening at all or have all of us gone absolutely numb and insensitive to others pain?

2002 Riot Compensation

The compensation should actually go out to thousands of muslims in Gujarat who were displaced, lost their houses, were killed, burnt, raped, demoralized and insulted in every possible way. Their houses were burnt, their shops were burnt, thus breaking their economic backbone.

However here the argument is how many people should actually be rehabilitated and a paltry number of 5000 seems to be a burden at this moment for the Gujarat Government. Wonder how much more remorseless can people get.

Flock

Testing out flock for the hundredth time to see if it has achieved some sense of stability. Hope it does now.

Got a stomach upset. Was quite miserable all of sunday.

This is the first blog am posting through the flock blog editor. Its neat to have a blog editor right within your browser, especially for people like me who are lazy to logon onto websites to post blogs. Even posting (s)craps on orkut seems so much of a pain.

Hope I can learn a wee bit of html as well by looking at the 'Source' tab in this blog editor.

Now that I am forced to be at home all day today, I want to do some studying once I am done with the little work I have which includes debugging the stupid mysql server which I screwed up a couple days back and sending a couple emails. For the record, I have no clue about mysql. Google Zindabad!

More later as I keep 'Flock'ing. Adios.
