Face recognition

Found this very cool website. You upload a picture of yourself, and it works out which celebrities you resemble. Check it out:

My heritage

Just for the record: I resemble Bill Clinton, George Clooney, Juan Pablo Montoya, R. Federer(the swiss-south african tennis player)

Pagerank Update

Well, its the 26th of January, and still no Pagerank update from google. That makes it 98 days since the last update. A quick web search brought up pages that estimated the update would occur yesterday. Still waiting.

Whats with the weather?

Talk about El-Nino...
Russia has been suffering for 2 weeks, Ukraine has reported over 40 people lost, and the whole of Europe is freezing.
Mother Nature is taking revenge me thinks.
-31 degrees Celcius in Turkey?? You must be kidding...

A young man looks though a frozen window of a tram in Minsk, Belarus, Sunday, Jan. 22, 2006, as temperatures plunge to - 30 C (- 22 F). Abnormally cold weather that has gripped Russia, came to Belarus as well . (AP Photo)

Ubuntu Linux

I just installed the Ubuntu distribution of Linux on my pc.
Still sorting out some basic needs.
Its a big step, since I've been a Windows user since always.
But the overall look and feel is great.

New ideas

I cant stop thinking about this idea I've had for years, and how to implement it.
No, I'm not going to say what it is.
But I will say that I'm currently trying to learn how to use XUL. (what is XUL?)

Thoughts that cross my mind quite often:

1. Since google/blogger are into the whole AJAX vibe, why not use it to its full potential?
2. When bookmarks were first introduced, the idea was to use them as their name suggests. As bookmarks. Websites I intend to read. NOT as pages I like to read every once in a while. We've got RSS feeds for that.
