Music Graph!

June 11, 2008 1:46 pm

I love stats :P So when i found out that LastGraph3 can take your last.fm data and make it into a cool looking graph… I so had to do it :P

I have been using last.fm for about 2 years now and the data collected is enough to start creating fancy graphs :P One glance at the graph and I could so easily point out songs that I liked and explain the increased frequency of listening to certain artists.

Recommend 2 Haas - Portable GPS Navigator…

June 5, 2008 11:53 am

I am planning to pick up a Portable GPS Navigator. I am planning to use it for the following:
* Post processing information from treks and drives.
* Monitor runs.
* If possible to hook it upto my camera and GeoCode photos.
* Not too pricy as I am not going to use any mapping features

I am not too worried about the mapping facility of the navigator(India does not seemed to be well mapped either way).

I am currently looking at the following models:
Garmin eTrex Legend Portable Navigator
Garmin eTrex H Portable Navigator
Garmin eTrex Portable NavigatorLCD

So what do you recommend?

  

3 Years…

May 21, 2008 1:34 pm

It has been 3 years since I started blogging… I have changed a lot during that time, met loads of people that have influenced my life… all thanks to that decision 3 years ago.

I know its very hard to imagine who I would have been if I hadn’t been influenced to enter the blogging world… I guess such introspection is basically a waste of time but what I should be asking myself is “why I started blogging?” and “Does it still serve the purpose I started it for?” The answer to that is for me to contemplate and (re)discover. But what I can reveal is that the reasons and inspiration has changed over time… many many times over.

Vandalism…

April 28, 2008 3:10 pm

I was looking at the Bangalore Royal Challenger’s page in wikipedia to find where todays match is being held. Guess what I found! Read the Result column next to today’s match!

Bangalore Royal Challengers... Schedule!

My instinctive reaction was that I started laughing! BRC is my team and I really support them but this is so wrong(a little funny though) :P For ppl who did not know, Chennai Super Kings are clearly the strongest team in the IPL so far and the Royal Challengers have faced a fair share of defeat.

Ps: This constitutes vandalism doesn’t it? How do I report it?

UPDATE: The vandalism is removed! Was just about the do it(after figuring out how :P ) and someone already did it :) Looked at the old revisions of changes and that moron who did the vandalism looks like a top class loser!

Now that includes partitioning, Installing the Operating System and Commonly used programs.
