Links to cellphone software

Wonder why I've put those up? Yup, easy way to transfer them to my cellphone when I don't have the USB cable or when I'm at work on my Linux workstation. Just put the link on the blog, point my cellphone to it and download... works like a charm.

BitTorrent anyone?

Maxwell's Demon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon

Maxwell's demon is an 1867 thought experiment by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, meant to raise questions about the possibility of violating the second law of thermodynamics.

Since a tachyon moves faster than the speed of light, we can not see it approaching. After a tachyon has passed nearby, we would be able to see two images of it, appearing and departing in opposite directions.

Places I've transited through in recent times (other than Noida and Delhi, of course):



1. Helsinki

2. Oulu

3. Lucknow (2 separate trips)

4. Rae Bareily

5. Allahabad

6. Durg

7. Kanpur





And for varied reasons too, work-related, wedding reception of a close friend and recruiting.



Used up 3 more of my lives: 2 road near-accidents, 1 actual-accident-but-not-quite-fatal.



Got myself an Xbox 360, NFS Carbon and Gears of War (phew... it does grow on you), another 300+ GB hard disk to help out my old, aging 250 GB one, new DVD writer, new Antec Nine Hundred case for my PC, new power supply for the old PC at home.



A word to the uninitiated, who wonder whether they need an Xbox 360. No. You don't. But if you do end up buying one, pair it with a good PC monitor, NOT a normal Indian TV. Doesn't matter if it's one of those giant ones that you pay for through your nose, if it can't do 1280x1024 or the HDTV equivalent, it's no good.



And a word for the initiated, who wonder about the Antec Nine Hundred. Yes. Totally worth it, especially if you don't go lugging your system all over the place.
