Today, I casually went to see what’s new on jQuery mobile and was treated with a wonderful surprise. The alpha is released! I immediately fired up my stock browser on droid and tried it out. It is so beautiful and I can’t believe its not a native app! It worked great when the device orientation…
I’ve never been excited about typing text on my mobile, but a new technology called swype well might change that, and I bet is going to revolutionize the way we all input text on mobiles. Unlike tapping a series of softkeys, you enter text by “connecting” keys. You should check out the demo videos! When…
You would have all known about freeware, shareware and vaporware. I’m experimenting with a concept that I call Socialware – that is using software to help with social causes. While shareware is used by the developer to fund their developments, all proceeds gained by a socialware should go to a charitable cause. In addition, All…

When I was studying in 9th/10th standard, ZX Spectrum was my object of desire. I used to buy whatever books on ZX Spectrum I could get hold of. Finally Dad bought me a similar Z-80 based home computer called Color Genie. The above is a spectacular interview with Sir Clive Sinclair, the man behind ZX…
Played around with POV-Ray, GIMP and the photo I took, over the weekend. Oh the joys of ray tracing! Credits to Ian Shumsky for the mug object! P.S: If you like any of your photos to be on the virtual mug, send it to me and I’ll generate a scene similar to this and send…
I usually take a nap Sunday afternoons, and I like to hear some streaming radio during that time. I wanted something that would fade the volume down to 0 after a certain period of time (say half hour). I decided to give it a shot myself. It’s Tcl and Snack to the rescue! After twiddling…
