I got rid of this by removing the default profile and creating a default profile again. I forgot to back up and lost all my bookmarks and downloaded plugins.

De-brate....

Some quotes!!

Most sensible comment seen there: End of the day, use what works for you.

Other, nonsensical comments!!

Linux - vim
Windows - Notepad

The answer is obvious for the people out there with half a brain…get OpenOffice.

But what about the average family who doesn’t need X amount of extra features?

First, most people don’t need the advanced features of MSWord, so OpenOffice - for free, will do the job just fine.

so, don't format your documents, resumes, flyers printed for your home business... here, take this toy, oooh, look at the pretty colours...go play with it, you don't need any of them jazzy features...one size fits all... Non-geeks like Office? death to the non-geeks...the geeks shall inherit the earth, until then, death to micro$oft...go through the 3000 page manual and memorize it before you even think of asking me some question...i'm too busy and cool to think about you user people anyway, and to boot you people are insects inside my bottom....just nuisance factor....sigh! what paradise it will be if there were no users in this world...

What is this?

Can anyone identify this jelly fish like thing? It is more or less the size of a thumbnail.



The photo i took somewhere south of Thiruvanmiyur, Madras.

This is the response from a group:
Google on "Irukandji' and see the images. It closely matches the images in the pic....though I know that Irukandgi is mostly colourless very difficut to detect with naked eyes. This jelly fish is the most poisonous organism know to man. Its a recent discovery and very few clinics in the world have managed to successfully persons stung by this fish.


This is the deadly Irukandji fish, but my 'discovery' is different from this in some ways:

1) mine is a cobalt blue in colour, while Irukandji is transparent
2) Irukandji has only 4 tentacles, mine has more than four.
3) this was found in India, whereas Irukandji is supposedly found only in Australian beaches

Grandma and her guns

My grandma's sisters will do the same..

Be careful, Indian grannies are trained by the Indian Army!

Observation Baba

Saw this billboard near Gemini Flyover a long time back, coming back from Marina Beach.

First billboard is about the godman Sai Baba's visit to Chennai; the second is an ad for a radio station - someone imitating thala Rajni's Baba. The caption for the second says "Beware of duplicates". Just wondering, towards which Baba is this comment directed? hmm...
