The one with the drawing.

First drawing in a long time! Thanks to a boot-camp at work which re-kindled my love for drawing.

Software versions

Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:24:00 +0530

Mid 2008

There was lot of campaigning to create a record downloads for Firefox 3.0 in 24 hours. Like everybody else I upgraded on that day. It was a successful campaign.

Later that year …

Chrome debuted. Though it was missing many features and extensions, I loved the look and feel of the browser. I started to use both Chrome and Firefox for more than a year.

Early 2011

Chrome is my primary browser now. I heard about release of FF4 from a friend of mine who went to a FF4 launch party. I played around with it and I am sure it has improved a ton but -

it’s not Chrome!

Today

I was checking how some scripts will work in FF and I got a popup asking to upgrade to FF8!!! I am very surprised at so many major releases in the last eight months. What ever happened to minor version number?

The other day I also found out Fedora is at 16. Last one I used was 10 and then moved to Ubuntu more than a year back.

With so many releases - I wonder if major version numbers of software make sense anymore. Perhaps one should consider time based version numbers - include year/month/ in major version to keep track of progress.

What do you think?

Orbiting sun at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think throwing birds at pigs is a neat idea.

Came across this excellent series of videos on javaScript. These videos are a great resource for beginners. At times provided even tiny details which may bore seasoned programmers.

That’s name of the building I live in. They are beautiful flowers named after a German botanist. I even photographed them, but never knew the name.

Henley Sequence from Social Network. Gripping music (Song: “In The Hall Of The Mountain King”) . Wonderful Tilt shift photography, which makes everything look miniature - what this race is in the scheme of things that are going on in the rest of the movie.

Can’t get tired of watching this!

Comfort

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 11:10:00 +0530

I love that in a day when nothing is sure and when I say nothing, I mean nothing. You can go to gym and absolutely know that if you run on thread mill for one hour, 400 Calories will be burned. That’s such a comfort.

I just have to do this consistent and long enough to enjoy long term benefits.
