wtf is this ? .. Why the hell do they even allow such dumb students to enter in IIT ?

Got a mail from someone that gallery plugin, which I made for IkiWiki is not working and is giving error while rendering images..
Firstly, I thought that he must be making mistakes in setting the permissions of directories or probably because of some difference in settings. As, I formatted my comp few days ago, I didn’t have working version of IkiWiki so I downloaded the newer one and installed the plugin. Sadly, I found out that I faced the same problem. After, long hours of looking in the code and IkiWiki discussion pages, I found out that IkiWiki has changed the permissions for files which are being rendered by plugins and are not present in source directory mentioned by user.
And, files in directory called underlay dir can only be used by plugins.
Updated the plugin, so as to allow turning off resizing feature.. I still don’t know how the thumbnails were getting rendered when images were not..
Anyway, plugin is in usable state again .. and you can use it as

[gallery imagedir="imagedir" resize="0" options="" ]

I will allow resizing again as soon as I look into the “conditional underlay of files”. For those of you who are using the older version of IkiWiki, you won’t face any problem, so enjoy :)

It always feels great to see that people are using something developed by you :)

I need to switch to IkiWiki asap for blogging. I need desktop blogging software, I don’t want to go to blogger every time I have to write something. See, this is why frequency of my posts is very low.. .. I can peacefully write from my terminal window. :) Only problem with that is that, I only would be managing the database in that case which increases the probability of all the posts getting deleted by infinity :(

Jo bhi hai, newer version of gallery plugin is at SVN repo :

the day yesterday was…

a frnd of mine told me that thr is one particular ad of reema laagoo featured in dd1, in which she acts quite repulsively doing all those stuff which you can never expect from her..
while searching for the ad I found out that just like gmail search in youtube sucks too .. it only search for full words…
So as ad was featured as “laxmi chachi ad” , i searched for “laxmi chachi ad” .. then “laxmi chachi” only to be disappointed.. no results :( .. tried few more searches with different spellings of both laxmi and chachi and thr combinations .. again with not getting what i was looking for ..

then i tried search on vtap, a video search engine by veveo(company i interned in ), and thr u go as soon as i typed “lax cha ad” , i got the video i was looking for .. .. (well this is not the only thing vtap is good for…it even categorizes videos quite well .. just search for anything you will automatically find it out)..
i have no idea why youtube or any video uploading sites does not have incremental search .. it is highly highly useful… forget incremental search .. youtube doesnt even search for part words.. .. like it didn’t search for “laxmi chachi” because the name of the ad was “laxmi chachi’s” .. sucking…

Anyway, we finally came up with the name of our company after tons of naming sessions :) Later on Papa said that today is the best day to do that.. Aaj GuruPukh hai :) .. :)

Took the Final decision of not sitting in placements this year.. so one tension off my mind, though giving way to lot others ..

My laptop is back. :) .. posting from it after a long time.. :) .. Now, I can have videos running on one side without blocking my “work view”.

SSHFS rocks :) .. Whether i work on my PC or on my laptop, it’s no different for me..same directory structure in both. :) No need to do ssh, every time I open a new shell, as sshfs mounts remote files. :) .. I am loving it :)

You said that it’s a phase
.. That will pass by
With time everything will be k
.. And soon we’ll comply
Old memories will fade away
.. And we’ll be on different way

That time
.. It never seems to come
This time
.. It never seems to end
Which way to go
.. I still don’t know that

It’s not that this makes me sad
.. But I am not happy even
I laugh with people
.. I work with them
But all day and all night
.. I miss you my friend

Tum raasta main ajnabi ..
.. Kyu yeh lagta tha har ghadi ..
Aadhe adhure geet ki ..
.. Ek main kadi, ek tum kadi ..

Tumhe dekh kar lagta tha yeh ..
.. Tum bane hi ho mere Vaaste ..
Milna tha hi hamein magar ..
.. Hum na mile toh naa sahi ..

Aate hai musaafir …
Yun jaate hai Musaafir …
Jaana hi hai sabko …
Fir kyun aate hai Musaafir …
