| I dont think I told many people about my fabric painting skills. Though it is not of my finest, I achieve a certain goal that is otherwise not possible. I have always wanted to wear some geeky shirts instead of "Beer is better than women" or "Screw me". But I dont get to buy them anywhere , even in Bangalore. So, I decided to put my fabric paints and brush, a bit of my free time and some thinking/browsing to do it myself.
Believe me, it is a fine hobby and is not too difficult. Just needs lots of patience and enthusiasm. I plan to share a small bit about fabric painting later in an other dedicated post. Now, I am just going to recall the cloth paintings that I have done so far. These things are not something that you frame and put up in a wall. You put them onto urself and make use of them. So, it is practical and it is cool because you can show off too.
- A spoof of the matrix - I dont seem to get this picture back in search. This was back in the college days, atleast 4 years old.
- An asterix hand kerchief. My chief still carries it in her bag and never uses it to wipe anything (She is trying to preserve it, apparently)
- A Donald duck handkerchief that I gifted to my little brother. Dont think he or anyone else knows where it is now.
- A black shirt with "There is no place like 127.0.0.1" on white. Came out pretty ok.( Pic coming as soon as I come back to India. )
Well, why I am writing about this shit right now is, I got content for my next shirt. I am going to plagiarize from thinkgeek. Sorry guys, I cant afford to buy T-shirts for 20 bucks. I still earn in INR.
The content is quite simple.

| This is hilarious. Read it in today's TOI, searched for it and got this. I am also embedding it here just so that you dont have to click click.
It is simple, How many Materazzis can you( as zizou) head butt before the umpire notices you and flashes a red card? It is not made well. Any flash gurus out there going to make it better? Please send across a link.
Oh, this is simply for sheer fun. No hard feelings. I love Zizou.

| The story might be a little weird, but it is true. On my trip to sikkim, if there is one thing that I really got to know well, it is river teesta. It was everywhere and anywhere we went. It was as though it was a part of my trip. Accompanying us without questioning and complaining and infact, enjoying our company. And at the end of the trip, I knew I was going to miss her and was quite sad. That, in short is my love affair with Teesta.
Once you reach zero point ( end of roads, basically) towards north sikkim, All one can see is nature, virgin and full. It is quite unfair that despite knowing I cant possibly describe her beauty, I am venturing into writing about her. Anyways, at this point, Teesta is this small streamlet, slowly learning to crawl along the soft beds of colourful stones laid out neatly. She is quite reluctant to begin and I think she is quite unaware of the distance or the arduous path she is about to take.
As we drove back, she grows up. She learns how difficult things can get and quickly matures by drawing sources from various channels that come along. And by the time I am close to Gangtok, she is blossomed into this forceful river scaring every passer by who I dont think how lovely as a child she was. As the driver chose to take the road to the city, she decides to leave us, for her own good. I felt my kid is on it's own now, capable of taking care of herself. Surely, she will make it to the sea.
Bye Teesta, I love you. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Have you guys seen this video ? Hilarious...
The transcript is here...
Tina Fey: Paris Hilton is a name that's on everyone's lips these days. Here now in an exclusive interview with Jimmy Fallon in Paris Hilton.
Jimmy Fallon: Thanks for coming on.
Paris Hilton: Nice to be here.
JF: So, we agreed, we won't be discussing the scandal that's been in the papers the past couple weeks.
PH: I appreciate that.
JF: We want to find about you, Paris Hilton. Your family...the Hiltons own hotels all around the world.
PH: Yes, in New York, London, Paris.
JF: Wait, there actually is a Paris Hilton?
PH: Yes, there is.
JF: Is it hard to get into the Paris Hilton?
PH: Actually, it's a very exclusive hotel, no matter what you've heard. JF: I hear the Paris Hilton is very beautiful.
PH: I'm glad that you've heard that.
JF: Is there double occupancy at the Paris Hilton?
PH: No.
JF: Is the Paris Hilton very roomy?
PH: It might be for you. But most people find it very comfortable.
JF: I'm a VIP, I might need to go through the back entrance.
PH: Doesn't matter who are you – it's not going to happen.
JF: Fair enough, okay. I throw a lot of events. Do they have ballrooms there?
PH: We do.
JF: Great, I'd love to have my balls held by the Paris Hilton. Sounds awesome. I'd like to check into the Paris Hilton.
PH: I don't think you can.
JF: Really? I'd only be able to stay there a minute and a half...two minutes, tops.
PH: Good luck.
JF: Paris Hilton! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) Do you like both Blogspot and LJ? Do you have your readers split between these two lovely blog provider sites ? Well, I do. I was telling sunson the other day that I want to blog in LJ and then syndicate it into blogspot. Apparently, you can do this by paying LJ for a premium account. I dont know what else a premium account provides, but I really dont want to pay for something like this. Why would you do that when you have Greasemonkey and PHP? So, A bit of a night out and some ciggys amalgamated into the "LJ Blogspot integrator".
What is good ?
Well, this entire thing, isint ?
What is bad ?
- You need to install this greasemonkey script. That means, you are stuck to firefox and you have to install it on all the firefox browsers you blog from.
- The backend is PHP. So you need a server to run it. Maybe, at a later point, I will write the entire thing in javascript.
- You have to switch to the "plain text mode" before you click "update". This is because I dont know how to capture the text written inside the rich text editor. You can help me to fix this.
- LJ user links have a broken image. Will fix this later.
- Your update entries will not take effect in blogspot. Not sure if I want to fix this.
Go find the greasemonkey script from here. I am hoping you already have greasemonkey and know what I am talking about. Find the backend PHP code here.
Read up the code to see what all you have to change. And then you are all set to go!
Ensaai!
PS: If you find this blog on my blogspot, it got there because of what I just told you! | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| | Blogger does it by safely having two domains. Does LJ believe in it's HTML filtering module so much ? Or is there something I am missing? | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Only recently was I my manager asking me if I was using Picasa. I told him I dont put on my windows anymore. I dont, partly because my installation is screwed and I dont know better than to re-install the entire god damn thing, and partly because I really wanted to evaluate linux as a home desktop OS. Where I am on the the evaluation? well, I am fairly convinced I can do all my day to day activities without much pain. A situation happens once in a while when I hate myself for being on linux, but that happens when I am on windows too. So, that evens it out I guess.
Ok, getting past the crap, these situations I was talking about has been narrowed down a bit by Google's amazing gesture to us, poor souls by releasing Picasa for Linux. Wow! I mean, seriously.. I love picasa because it has the simplicity and usability that photoshop does not have. Now, it is on linux. Baby! I cant ask for more, and I wont go back to Gimp unless I am shooting Aishwarya Rai.
Thanks Google! I love you.
PS: Video Search on the new video.yahoo.com for Aishwarya rai sucks. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Something that my friend Sairam sent over to me. Parental Advisory required....
little johnny went to the pope's house for dinner with his parents ! in order to give respect to the pope his mom and dad speak to him with great respect ! mom says "pope the great , pass me the plate" ! then his dad says "pope the divine , pass me the wine" !! so little johnny thinks that he also has to speak the same way ! he wanted some dessert to be passed , so he says "pope the bastard , pass me the custard" !!!
little johnny is very foul mouthed , keeps using bad words in class ! the girls in his class hate him for that ! so one day all girls in his class decide to leave the class and go out if he utters something unacceptable again ! one fine day , the teacher asks all students to go back home , and on the way if they find something new , they will have to speak abt it the next day ! so the next day comes , and the teacher asks one by one to come up on stage and speak abt what they found ! first a girl comes up and speaks abt this new company being constructed near her house , and how her dad happens to be the ceo ! next a guy comes up and speaks abt this new restaurant coming up near his house , and that it serves italian food , which happens to be his favourite ! then little johnny comes up on stage and says " there is a new brothal coming up near my house" , immediatly all the girls in the class get up and leave - to this little johnny says "oh little whores , wait , its not started recruiting as yet"
Little Johnny was heard by his mother reciting his homework: "Two plus two, the son of a bitch is four; four plus four, the son of a bitch is eight; eight plus eight, the son of a bitch...'" "Johnny !" shouted his mother. "Watch your language! You're not allowed to use the swearwords." "But, Mom," replied the boy, "that's what the teacher taught us, and she said to recite it out loud till we learned it." Next day Johnny's mother went right into the classroom to complain. "Oh, heavens !" said the teacher. "That's not what I taught them. They're supposed to say, 'Two plus two, the sum of which is four.' " | | comments: Leave a comment |
