Moving on

The time has arrived.

I am now headed to tumblr, but this time with my own domain name.

I still remember the time I moved to wordpress from blogger. WordPress had been my platform of choice as they added features and faster and better than anyone else at that time.

Tumblr seems to be make it easy to use all kinds of media in our posts – short posts / long posts / photos / videos etc and I like that.

2010 – Tweet-by-Tweet!

Taking inspiration from Ramesh Srivats’ post , here’s a snapshot what my mind coughed up on twitter in 2010 –

JANUARY  –

How about a “Keep as unread” option for missed calls on the phone. Also a “Last called time” for each contact

It is irrational to believe that being rational is right

FEBRUARY  –

your solution is as weak as your weakest assumption..

My name is (guldu) Khan!

Smart and hard working is a deadly combination of personal qualities, but rarely seen together. Plain hard work beats plain smartness anyday

MARCH –

Maybe Murphy _is_ God.

speak your mind. and stay in a place where it doesn’t hurt to do it.

Resilience is the secret of the victorious.

Information overflow is better than information underflow

God lives in the stomach. look no further!

APRIL –

There’s always space for one more quality player. Gmail, Facebook, Iphone,. None were the first to do what they do..

eat to celebrate. celebrate to eat.

It’s fine to make an irrational decision, as long as there is no illusion that it is rational

MAY –

Once people think they know you, they don’t look beyond.

Quality is a culture.

you can’t really argue much with the compiler, can you?

JUNE –

Productivity kills creativity

‘Self-motivated’ is a myth.

JULY –

clear. concise. complete. #meetings_should_be

Amber is not green!! #traffic_rules_for_dummies

AUGUST –

This is what I want. This is the requirement. You can’t change the requirement.. You have to change the product!

short term scheduling. medium term scheduling. long term scheduling. Where should I spend more time?

What you sow so shall you reap; so also what you reap so shall you sow

SEPTEMBER –

Home is where sweet saaru-anna is!

NOVEMBER –

Psychology is harder than Technology.

can I claim life insurance that I don’t “have a life”! 😛

What does time come from?

TED videos on phone with subtitles

There’s subtitles available on the TED website, can i have it offline?

Yes, you can! Superb conceptualization and implementation at – http://tedtalksubtitledownload.appspot.com/

You can get the .srt files from the above url, and merge them into the video file using a free application like Any Video Convertor (which itself is a GUI for ffmpeg)

Super! Now you have it! Really good thing to try, if you also spend 3-4 hrs in commute to work like i do.

If you haven’t ever watched a Ted video yet, check this out – http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_at_state.html. It’s one of the best talks I’ve heard on TED. I use miro to download videos from rss feeds. You can directly download from their webpage as well. They give you a direct download button for every talk in its webpage.
