Google Reader

I dont know if this is old or new but i saw a link coming to my blog from there and thought of taking a look at it. It seems to be a good way of organizing the feeds though I am not very keen on doing that I thought giving it a try wont be bad. I tried to make it get the feeds of my own blog and it worked though it takes awfully a long time for that but it gathers all the posts and presents them in a very good way.
Now when you have two or more feeds ur page on google reader will look something like this.

google reader

google reader 1

You might see its quite simple and is low on features but for someone who just wants simplicity can go for this. But i dont think it will be liked by many for it lacks many features.

Insight to Kerala Politics

I am well aware of my origins and I felt to blog this post. I am a malayalee and I am proud of that. But many people don’t know some things about Kerala. Everyone thinks that Kerala is very beautiful with its great scenic terrains and a place were there is highest literacy in India (I guess Mizoram has highest literacy rate now). But while everyone wishes that if only their state could also have high literacy rate and while people praise Kerala for the same, I say there is a downfall to that. Kerala has a negative side too. Kerala Politics according to me is the most dreaded politics you can ever witness. Though politics is a part and parcel of every state in India, somehow it has dug deep into the lives of a normal Keralite. Whenever someone leaves a house he has to check the newspaper for any strikes or bandhs which might have been announced by some political party or any trade unions. Some people might say that this is not the case, but recently my sister who had to attend her BBA exam was nearly going to miss it because of one of such bandhs. Think about the student’s mentality when he or she goes to write and exam in such a condition. Most of the political leaders are too inconsiderate. Most of the political parties use College students as their weapon. You might say that happens in all the states and maybe even in different countries, but the truth is its widespread and more gruesome in Kerala. Recently there had been great drama on one of the leaders of CPI (M) {Communist Party of India} party being thrown out and being taken in again. Though every state sees such dramas it’s too often in Kerala. Why? If that is the question that comes to your mind I say maybe that the population is too much educated or the population has no choice but to bear all the difficulties and keep quiet. Why is that? Why can’t we rise to this issue why does everyone have to bear this? I though don’t live in Kerala but whenever I go to Kerala I feel like even if I go will I be able to go around the place, with the amount of tensions and amount strikes there. But still I like my birthplace and I thought it would be nice for people to know about it. If you are a Keralite and reading this you may add to my post by commenting or criticize my post by commenting.

PS: In no way do I mean any harm to anyone but anyone reading this is hurt I apologize for it.

Bloghopping is not fun anymore

Oh the word was given to me by Qwerty  for blogjumping he made blog-hopping. But you guys might say that is the best thing but when you cant track your comments its useless. Now everyone knows I am on leave from blogging so in free time from studies i do blog-hopping. But the problem arises when my comment is not registered in cocomment so i cant track it. Why doesnt it get registered; very simple because the site is down always. Its too annoying when a comment is not registered as it does not let me track my comment then. And Qwerty’s cocomment greasemonkey seems not to be working. Now all this has made me think if this is hoe it goes how will i continue my blog-hopping. Maybe they have server peobs but they should tell wats the prob atleast here they should tell wats the prob.

A Minor Upgrade

Though the upgrade is very big to me it might be small to everyone. Anyone who has read my blog might know that my Dad was not at all in favour of upgrading my system and i tried to convince him but it neve worked but atlast I made him to get me a new hard disk. Now I have total of 120 GB space on my computer with lots of uses for it. This is a big major upgrade for me as I will be installing Linux on my 40 GB hard Disk and will learn how to be free. I am currently in discussion with my friends at thinkdigit forums on how and what on linux. So this my one of the rare personals bye.

Update: Dad just bought a new Optical mouse and it seemss to be working fine

One more in Google’s Grip

Okay as we know google is on a widespread mission to acquire anything it sees it has jumped up to acquire sketchUp. For everyone’s information SketchUp is an 3d doftware used to make models and other stuff. Now the most important thing is that the proggie was not free it is available for $495. These guys had developed a plugin for google earth and that is why i guess google liked them and took them into its hood. Actually Google has not only acquired the software but the @last company itself which means google has nice control over it. It seems there have been no big changes and they are still working as they were before the acquisition. This shows that Google has some hidden plans for sketchUp and its creators which we might see in future. Google always hides something while acquiring new things.
