Crap Work

You'll know what crap work/stress means when you are sitting in a cubicle confined to doing EVERYTHING which is useless, knowing that doing it will no way help you in what you plan to become and being unable to shift out of it for "personal reasons".

News Feature

Enough of idle minds' posts. Instead got down to the engines of coding and coded the "Top News Stories", available on the right :D, on the side bar. Initially on load of the page, i was planning to show all the current top stories, accessing it from other sites. But, IE seems to have some security restrictions on a web page accessing resources of other web sites. Ok, i think that's what it is. So it pops up some security message. So i have shifted over to using a textbox and a "Go" button. On the click of the "Go" all the news as per the xml feed in the text box will be displayed. Go ahead and try it, but remember to click "Yes" on the security warning. Anyway for the knowledgeable. On click of the "Go!!!" it uses XmlHttpRequest , retrieves the XML feed from the site mentioned in the text box and displays it in "user friendly" format.

The fight is in the open

Been busy lately and so have not managed to post for quite long. But I just had to post this. This post is dedicated to all persons who dont know anything about the fight between MS and Google: Check out the links starting from: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5875433.html?tag=nl.e589 There are more links as you get thru the article. Be sure to read those too. And just as a side-note: Check out " Atlas ". These are client side and server side components, which easily (??) enable you to make Web calls. This is done by encapsulating AJAX. (please dont insult by telling me that you dont know what that is).

Movies common for 2 actors/actresses

One question: Which all movies did both George Clooney and Brad Pitt act in? Am sure you would be going to google. And what do you do after that? See all the links, and check each and every page, trying to find the common movies. Now why could the computer not do this? Why are you spending 5 minutes trying to find this out, when you should be able to request the computer to do this..... Enter Semantic search, a mechanism where you can query data for relationships which the human mind understands, and secondly the computer understands. There are many places where they are trying to build this semantic search. I build a small application which uses freebase . And built an application where you can provide the names of 2 actors/actresses and find the movies both worked on. Check the page http://www.nlighten.in/CommonMovies.html . Details about freebase: Freebase uses the databases provided by Wikipedia and multiple other providers, and provide all the data in OOP ...
