Playtime one liners
Blog ring is an idea that Santhosh came up today morning. The idea is to *connect* all the gdit 99 bloggers together. A list of such blogger is maintained at the blog-ring page.

No I didn't go to Europe. I am talking about the movie EuroTrip. It is one of the best funnies I have seen in a long time. There are two highlights of the movie, the first being the Europe tour (loved the east Europian part) and the second being the "Scotty doesn't know" song.
I have never been voted the top athelete, not that I deserved that. But yes I have been a little bit active in sports at parts of life. Here I am trying to try my hands at rock climbing at Planet Granite, Belmont. The first time I tried rock climbing was at runway 9 during one of my college batch party. Both times I didn't set any records but had a gala time.
I have tried many browsers till date, at least 20 of them. I started with Microsoft IE and at the end of the day I still use IE. There had been glimpses of other browsers trying to get ahead of IE but IE ruled all the time. Some of the good ones giving competition were Netscape, Opera, Konqueror. But none survived. Now I am playing around with Firefox and it is absolutely mind blowing. Some of the features like setting themes with ease and adding extensions are out of the world. One can literally choose which feature one wants and you add that extension. It is still in the early stages but if it gets stable (the biggest 'if' in free s/w), it has great prospects.
SpaceShipOne was a success, though with some glitches. But id does open up a lot of possibilities that always seemed just another 5 years away but never became reality. Difficult to tell how far are we from developing a commercially viable option for space travel. Things such as the SpaceShipOne encourages us, but not to forget the high costs, that we had to pay sometimes.
