Have not posted anything for a while
Have not posted anything for a while, due to being busy and distracted. Would like to get back once again and revisit this. I had a few interesting projects lately and good things are happening.
After almost 2 years I finally starting to like working with .NET, or rather figuring out how to do things my way easily.
Have been using plurk pretty consistently as well so I have been...

Website to Kiosk
I am working on a website project right now that due to the lack of time available will also be used as a content in a kiosk. I see a bunch of problems of using a regular website for in kiosk mode without specifically programming/adding kiosk functionality, but it this case it needs to be done and we have to make best of what we have considering that.
One of the issues with that is that links...
Felon - mini review
Just watched this movie over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. Good story good actors and good acting. Somewhat unusual and surprising role for Val Kilmer.
Recommend it.

A step towards sostainable energy in every home.
This is exciting. This article on MIT website is about the new way to use solar power, or rather a way to use it more like the plants. During the day using the power of the sun and with some basic accessible materials splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen storing them and at night when sun is down reversing the process and combining it back into the water using a fuel cell.
This is quite...

X Files: I want to believe - Mini Review
Like someone said “I want to believe” it is good. When asked how good of a movie it was I tend to say:
“It was an ok movie, but it was not a good X-files movie”
I am somewhat of an x-files fan and just watched the whole 9 seasons of the show last summer over a period of a couple of month and enjoyed it immensly. The show never really went bad after being on for so long...
Batman Dark Night - Mini Review
Movie was quite good. Well developed charachters, good storylines, good acting. I am still convinced that Christian Bale is a best batman yet.
The movie was quite long and could probably have been split in two. I found it to be almost too long for my likes, but there was no time wasted the whole time it was action packed and kept me entertained.
I did have a couple of complaints the main one...

MTA's systemwide nonacceptance of credit or...
Wha… Does this happen ? Apparently… It took me an hour today to get from port authority to my work which is aroun 85st. There were some train delays it seems but thats not what slowed me down.
I was trying to buy a metro-card and the lines were unusually long. After staying online for about 10 minutes and getting to the MTA vending machine, I try to get a card using my credit...
Young Members Project
Wow it has been busy couple of month at work, and it is not about to get better. I am about to finish a project for the Young Members section of the website where I am integrating the Flickr API into the website. This was a trip this whole thing..
First I thought I would just use JQuery and JSON to pull in data from flickr and then use couple of JQuery plugins to format it and turn it into a...
It has been a while...
It has been a while since I have written on tumblr. Somehow I fell out of the wheel. There is a number of things that has been happening since February. Here is a partial list:
I have been reading some books on social/web networking with people and Php5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice.
Working with some API’s for work (Flickr, YouTube)
Getting deeper knowledge of Drupal on the side and...

Noteworthy Parable...
I once heard some type of paradigm or principle mentioned by Edward Tufte on one of his lectures about how when organization creates some hirearchical model such as website for itself it tends to replicate the hirearchy inside of that organization. I further draw this parallel into what humans create and look at the computer. Recently, since my computer died, I have said a number of times. My...
PC Death
My computer gave up its ghost last week… It was bound to happen one of these days, there were symptoms that pointed to that, nevertheless it was a bit unpleasant. Out of the death came out search for new system. I almost bought an 24” IMac, was getting ready to, but in the end I was convinced to go with better computer for half of the price. I also played around by putting Hackintosh OSX on the...

Silverlight Thoughts
So far I have had mixed expirience with silverlight. While I like the technology in some ways I found a lot of problems trying to jum into using it. There were problems getting it to work in my visual studio and browsers. Then I found that some of the Quickstarts were not working and even example code. I like some of the features and it seems that overall the Silverlight is pretty cool, but since...

January
Year started with a few vague goals on my part. They are sort of like ideas that I would like to implement. Not much of a resolution because they are sort of amorphous flowing one into another. Basically I would like to stream line a few things, put a better portfolio together and give a few things to the digital world. Place to start, maybe a template or theme or two and some other freebies of...

Hello, so this is suppose to be from my cell phone to Tumblr. listen Powered by Jott — This was pretty good… Posted from my cellphone by speaking the note. It makes some mistakes but hopefully I can learn to speak more clearly :).
Connecting Dots...
Just signed up for a couple of services which will hopefully enable me to post things more often. Jott.com allows to post from the phone, Imified allows to post through google talk. Looking forward to tumbling more often.

Digg/Reddit like website for developers… Pretty cool.
Arrrg.... Effin Thing...
Just spent an hour trying to figure out what was making this extra space appear on the page between the link and the period at the end of the sentence. It is one of those things… Amazing how I had to dig through a bunch of file to get rid of that little bug. In the end solution was quite simple. Of course

So many ideas, so little time… CURL is COOL
