Frivolities it is...

Your postponement of deeds till the time when you are free is one of the frivolities of the ego. [Ibn Ataillah]

One has to learn from history!!!

Those who were destroyed before you were destroyed due to three traits — excess in speech, excess in food, and excess in sleep. [Ibrahim al Nakhai]

Hamilton certainly has professionalism... he has the presence of mind to thank everyone in the pit garage even after suffering his first retirement of the season... reminds me of schumi... he didn't dump the blame on the team, stating that the decision was a collective one to push the already slick tyres a little bit more...

Glitch in Formula1.com

Strange that 77% = 15% on the graph...


They revamped the website recently... I liked the older version better... it had everything in a single screen... Now only 1/3 of the page appears in a browser window.. that too with the header taking up almost half of the screen...

u have to scroll down all the way to even see main information area of the page...

Hats off to Google Developers

I use Google spreadsheets a lot... n often exhaust the number of rows available[100 by default] very soon. There was no straightforward way to add a large number of rows in one shot. One could use the workaround given in their Help Center. But it provided no control over the number of rows added. Or you could add a row from the context menu on the margins, add one more, then select those two rows and add two more n so on...

Google added a new option, a + at the bottom left corner of the spreadsheet just above the Add Sheet button. Clicking on it pops up a dialog... enter the number of rows.. click OK and u r done... It has one quirk though.. it will add rows to the end of the spreadsheet only.



But don't worry... Google developers must have seen this coming... they added a new option to the context menu on the margin... select the number of rows u want to add just above the place where u want the rows to be added and select insert from the menu.



It's nice that Google pays attention to such minute details... Life is much easier now... :-)

Finally...

Sudoku... it's definitely addictive... I've been trying to crack the HARD Sudoku that comes in The Hindu for quite some time now... The EASY n MEDIUM levels pose no threat to me, but always get stuck half way through with the HARD level. Had just come back from a late night movie... Ocean's Thirteen... was in a "happy" mood... the movie and the drive back, were pleasant... maybe that acted as a catalyst... i took at it against the backdrop of a peaceful night.. finished it in about 45mins... can u believe it!!! i was ecstatic... wooooowww... felt like i had conquered the world... ;-)

Very true...

It's really true that you don't know what you know until you try to explain it to someone else!!!

Great day...

Today was a good day.. i got up early in the morning.. had coffee n breakfast[n thatz a rare thing in my life now a days].. I took my friend's bike and went to office... watched Deja Vu... had lunch at Kairali[a malayali restaurant here.. they have nice food at reasonable prices...] came back.. finished the movie.. then i went to the gym[after a looong break]... came back n surfed the net for some time.. had dinner at kairali itself[puttu n meen curry.. that was just too good].. went home n watched another movie, The Prestige n slept while watching it..

The day was special not because something special happened.. but a lot of things that should happen.. that normally don't happen.. was present.. :D
