New Socialist Movement (http://nsm.org.in)

A formal website of the New Socialist Movement has long been due. Through the years of people’s struggles, union formations, labor movements, and the eventual foray into politics, word-of-mouth served its purpose to spread information and knowledge about the movement.

For some years now, activists and workers have begun to realize the potential of the internet. The idea of liberating our thoughts, ideologies, opinions and actions, and making them available to the booming populace of the virtual world is undoubtedly appealing.

You can find the most current, updated news about the New Socialist Movement (NSM), the Jansangharsh Movement (JSM), and the Gujarat Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU) on the respective pages. Besides, there is extensive information, commentary, and news about events in India - events which don’t just affect the lives of Indians, but also present paradigmatic shifts in thought for the entire world.

You can also find out about the public interest litigations (PILs) being fought in court by lawyers of the Jansangharsh Manch.

Among the several downloadable files you can find on this website are party documentation, the Manifesto of the new Socialist Movement, and researched presentations on the Godhra riots.

imfeeds

In the past I have mentioned about Anothr which is an IM bot for RSS feeds.

Now there's another startup which is trying to achieve the same.

And no, I'm not going to try it. Am happy with google reader.

Need Gtalk Halks

Is there a Gmail Chat Javascript Shortcut/Bookmark which can be placed on the bookmark toolbar on firefox, and can be used to quickly message specific contacts in the Gmail Chat List. For those who use Gmail Chat and have it on all day and talk multiple times to a few specific
people in the day, its cumbersome to put their name in the Quick Contacts search field and then click on "chat" or "send offline chat" (for the times when u know they are invisible).

What I tried was using the javascipt open to open the popup link corresponding to an email address (the link that u get in the address bar when you popup a chat.

javascript:void(open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=7c2ea6ae3d&view=cw&fs=1&tf=1&ver=zpuf6AhpH1w&am=#xxxxx%40gmail.com'));

This works, but corrupts the gmail interface.

Any clues how this could be achieved?

UPDATE: I love google keyboard shortcuts. Use 'q' to focus on the contact search box, write in the name of the contact you wish to chat to, and navigate to either "Send Offline Chat" or "Chat" using arrow keys. Life is simpler now. Though I still wish there was a bookmarklet which allowed me to do the same.

gmail labs

I guess a lot of people would have been enabled with gmail labs by now. Not many useful features yet. However, possibilities are unlimited. Lets see what the geeks at google crunch out in their quota of the "20 percent" time.

Posting to blogger through imified

testing the imified interface to blogger.

Update: didn't like it, it inserts an extra new line at the start of the post which I dislike. Btw could try Anothr, its a cool rss bot for Google Talk etc. In the past, I had divided my feeds between Anothr and Google Talk.

banshee media player

banshee is cool, and there's a 1.0 beta release now, yet to try that .. will do so soon. I want a full featured media player with a lyrics plugin most importantly, used to love foobar on windows, lets see which one of rhythm, amarok and banshee actually make it to that level. And yes I love that last.fm is integrated into banshee.
