jQuery 1.2 released!
…and it’s awesome. Take a look.
I have been using Moo.fx for quite sometime. But was having hell of a problem. It was by one popular Digg, that I decided to give jQuery a try. And to be frank it is great. I mean, less coding, less harassment. Javascript is frustrating sometimes. but trying out with Jquery never really frustrated me. I am now working on a new template (of course with jQuery) for blogger platform.
They have also promised to release the all-new UI. Can’t wait till Sunday the 16th! 
Thank you
…to Anjan Dutta for letting us think differently.
I was listening to Anjan Du Ghonta (Two Hours with Anjan) on Sunday night. FYI, Anjan Dutta is one of the best contemporary Bengali Singers. And this program on Friends FM has been a great success right from the beginning. He’s more personal than we can really imagine.
Anyway, what he said was really touchy. He was talking about the new gen and computers. “Ekhon, kichhu kinte hole online e click korlei holo. Jinishta barite puchhe jabe. Mane, aj r kono bikreta nei.” (Now, buying is just a few clicks away; you get the stuff. That means there’s no seller.) Now, it may sound very unreasonable. But, think about the time before the online-shopping craze came into being: you used to go to some shopping mall or some shops where you used to bargain and then buy. But now, what you do is click on some products pics and order. The whole story of going-n-buying is missing, isn’t it?
“Confessions of a…
…college Callgirl” is a great post.
I went there from Del.ico.us homepage, partly because i saw the tag “sex”, partly i was astounded how del.icio.us homepage can have such ‘porn’ stuf. But what i read there was heart-wrenching. We seldom know what happens to those “college students and single moms” desperately doing ‘that’. Do read this article.
Now, i am happy i went there.
Orkut Blogs
…’are’ great.
Now, you may be wondering why i used plural. Orkut has done a very
nice job by including feeds of blogs rather than adding thier own
version of blog which is Google’s Blogger. Since it’s still in beta,
they did a survey a few months back. They asked whether ‘we’ would like
a blog feature, somethin’ like mySpace. I voted for the option but i
was very skeptical. Because in past they disabled their pictorial scrap
feature only because they don’t want to waste their ‘donuts’ (read:
server space).
But they did some wonderful job by simply adding feeds to users’
homepage. It only needs a li’l bit of scripting to add these feeds to
your site. I guess they would love this feed thing more ‘coz they
recently acquired Feedburner. However, they have also started
scraps-with-pictures. This time too by adding HTMLs.
Now, since this blog is still in a nascent stage, I thought about
adding this to my Orkut profile. And seems like whoever is visiting is
from my Orkut a/c. 
When Pain Comes
…nothing really stops it.
I came to know about a guy both of whose kidneys got damaged. His financial situation is not too good either. I guess having the wealth of Bill Gates may help him. I mean the kinda money one has to spend (at least in India) for renal diseases is really too much. I heard that his college friends are raising funds for his treatment. I wish God helps him. But to be very frank, as my gf told me, it is hard to live more than 3/4yrs even someone does a transplantation. I wish there were no disease at all.
