A for Aardvark
In a couple of special electives I have taken in my last term on campus here, I have come across a whole bunch of interesting online resources to help accomplish various tasks. It is brilliantly surprising as to what one can perform simply by being aware of the right sets of tools for the right kinds of tasks. Some of them might be old and [...]
What Will Our Children Think?
During one of those times when I was supposed to sit and work on something important, my mind, as usual drifted off in one of those random flights of thought that have been so characteristic of me since class two when I was thrown out of class for not answering my attendence despite occupying the first bench. Being thrown out of class was [...]
Of Premature Celebrations and Apologies
It has been seven days since I did anything related to the internet. I took a few days off work, and combined with holidays for Dasara, the total number of days for which I was away from the office was seven in all. Being a cheap and lazy guy who doesn't want to spend all his time at home online, I have consciously avoided getting another [...]
Twitter Fundas
It is only recently that I've caught on with the whole twitter phenomenon, previously being a passive observer of the same as a few other people I know went about twittering away to glory. Despite using my twitter account regularly now, I doubt that I put up anything of significance, much like how I unleash on my website as [...]
Wanted : LOL Code Developers
It was a fateful day sometime in the early part of this year when Tharunya sent me a link to this popular internet meme called the LOLcats. I found it quite absurdly funny, and thereafter, forwarded the link from this meme to a few of my friends, who, I was certain hadn't seen it before. In turn, on receiving that link and having seen it, I was [...]
LOL Speak v/s Tech Speak
With the popularization of the infectiously absurd but funny internet meme, the LOL Cats, LOL speak is now among the in-things in the present day pop culture lingo, in line with 'RESTECP' as said by Sacha Baron Cohen in 'Ali G InDaHouse' and 'All your base are belong to us', from the Jap game 'Zero-Wing'. I confess to cheaply conforming to LOL [...]
Welcome!!!
Welcome to the all new Hari Shenoy dot com. What you see right now is the end result of something that happened circa January 2007, when my ex-flatmate Sankar (a formerly regular reader of all the nonsense I used to spew, but now ruined by a punishing B school schedule) got me an advance birthday present in the form of my own domain name. Not [...]
Why you shouldn’t believe everything you come across on the net
My livejournal hasn't been my first blog. This has always been dedicated arbit post and rant space, and frankly, the investments involved in putting up posts on this haven't always been been significant or noteworthy enough. However, Al Jaljira has been around for longer, and is the space on which I make dedicated posts only on occasion when I [...]
