DIGG --- dig out the news for others
This is a new cool web tool i am discovering. It is a list of news articles which are sorted by number of recommendations made by others users just like me. Gives me a lot of relevant information to read through and assures that what i am getting is the latest buzz.
This sounds like competition to my trusted news source Google news. It is very radical in it's own right. Sources stories right from where they are generated (news portal) and right when they are generated. Sorts them on categories and eliminates duplication to a large extent.
Although I am still exploring Digg. One thing that is not clear is how do stories get started initially. It is very easy for stories to get more diggs once they get noticed in most-popular pages.
I guess this will require a combination of both these tools. Go through google news to look for latest happenings. Find that useful and relevant go ahead a digg them.

2.047
this figure made me smile the other day when i saw this on the display of the petrol-pump.
this is how many liters i got for the 100rs i gave.
For the first time since i have been filling up for myself did it is go past 2.
But anyways it was all nulled and voided just moments later when i got stuck in a massive jam coz our asshole CM or some other asshole (equally "very important") had the khujli to pass thru that route at 830 in the evening
PS: one particular santa singh wont be able to share my joy
Petrol ke rate badhne par Santa bola: "Menu koi farak nahin penda. Pehle bhi
100 ka bharwata tha ab bhi 100 ka bharwata hoon."

TP is not time-pass any more
Got a new laptop or TP (thinkpad) as it is called here. It is a brand new Lenovo T60. Pretty cool but isn't such a big deal. Now I have an extra baggage to carry home and back every day although I can jst leave it at office. It doesn't serve much purpose. I hardly spend 3 waking hours at home and obviously won't work even then (not that all office hours are working hours :P). Also there is a lot of fuss to access office network from home. So effectively it is a fancy item with little value addition and a lot of load addition. I am sad since they will take away the desktop now :( (overaction now ??)
