Demystify those mystical Asterisks
Then comes the time to test it all out and I hit my first road block. I have conveniently forgotten my login credentials for the broadband service. DAYMN ! But wait I have it stored in my browser. Which is why I could log in and surf all this while. So I did indeed have my password but it was hiding from me in plain sight behind those pesky lill asteriks. There had to be some way I could have a peek behind em to get to my real password. Asked almighty Google a solution to this and it threw this nifty lill jewel my way:
And Volaaa! I Has Password! woot! What I had essentially done is change the password field into a text field. Since the text field does not mask its contents with asterisks I could now see my password. Which now lead me to think I could write a generic script which if I pasted in the browsers address bar would seek out all those pesky lill asterisks. ~Evil Grin~
So after a lill bit of tweaking and a quick run though the closure compiler me has this to off to the world.
javascript:(function(){for(var a=document.forms,b=0;b<a.length;++b)for(var c=a[b],d=0;d<c.length;++d)if(c[d].type.toLowerCase()=="password")c[d].type="text";})();
Enjoy stealing unsuspecting stored password that innocently were left unattended on a pc .. MUHUHAHAHAHA ! oh wait I have a couple of those on my pc .. ~Quickly wipes em out using CCleaner~
Which reminds me that I still haven't written that script I initailly started to write. Gets back to learning Python.

Posts ahoy!
You see it wasn't just the laziness part it was more coz most of these thoughts that I think I should blog about happen during my daily commute to work. That's probably the time I am most wasted and have time to think of things. Some of these thoughts occasinally might be amusing enough to be bloged about ;-) so here I have these thoughts and think ill get home and soo write a post. But the drudgery of public transport in Mumbai just sucks not just ur phone /mp3 players battery but ur very life energy too! So by the time I get home all I really wanna do is get some food and hit the sack. And if I ever do conjure up the power to write something in asleep half way through which kinda explains the unfinished posts.
I may have found a way to take me out of thy cycle. Thanks to a decent mobile phone (a lg optimus one) with full Internet and a nifty lill blogging platform called posterous, I don't have to wait till I get home. I can type out my thoughts right then and there. It feels nice to be sitting in vashi station and typing this out as I wait for a train which is taking forever to arrive. Although I must point out that virtual keyboards on full touch screen phones kinda suck at prolonged text entry. My fingers feel tired.
Till my next post.
Cheerios...
It's gonna be a lovely day
The day is jam packed and I don't know how well I'm gonna get through it but I know it's gonna be a lovely day. Why you ask? It's simple really. At the end of the day It's the magic of 3rd lill letters G O A... woot!Mmmmm .. Mello
To make my favourite Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey they need to mellow the whiskey through charcoal (filter it so that the whiskey don't have any unwanted flavours)
For that they need lots of charcoal, which they them selves make by burning loads of oak
To burn the wood you need to douse it with some accelerant, you know lighter fluid, petrol and such. but hey the charcoal will then will smell of that accelerant.
So what do we use instead :D We douse it with lots of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey ;) let it burn ! anyone for whiskey flavoured charcoal - you can use it in ur home water filter .. :D
as they say on the website ..
Jack Daniel believed "Every day we make it, we'll make it the best we can." For him, that meant mellowing his whiskey drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoalSeven generations later, we still mellow our whiskey just as Mr. Jack did. The reason is simple: it imparts a distinctive smoothness folks have come to expect from Jack Daniel's. Charcoal Mellowing makes Jack Daniel's what it is – a Tennessee Whiskey and not a Bourbon. It refines our whiskey's rich flavor even before we fully mature it in barrels of our own making. Yes, it's a painstaking process that demands extra attention and makes our whiskey a bit more costly to craft. But Mr. Jack wouldn't have it any other way. Neither would we.

Cut at will ...
Ever since I played my first Metal gear solid game - Guns of the Patriots , and it knocked my socks off with its amazing graphics, intuitive game play mechanics, and intriguing and captivating story (Its almost like you are watching a movie), I have been wanting more. At E3 Kojima productions announced their upcoming title Metal Gear Solid: Rising featuring the sword wielding Raiden instead of solid snake . Heres the debut trailer
And it is drool worthy. These guys are masters at doing things just right. The trailer just shows a sliver of what can be done with a free slicing mechanic. imagine being able to cut through almost everything that is there in the game, at will. AWESOME ! I cant wait to see how this title develops. What makes this even more exciting is the fact that Sony also announced their motion controller tech, they call Sony Move, at E3 too. I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to do this title with the motion controller. How cool would it be to slice through things with that blade as you are actually doing the actions :D .. so maybe im being too ahead of the times :) .. fingers crossed
Another game that looked equally impressive was Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Heres the live action trailer followed by an game play demo at E3
They always makes these cool google chrome ads.
So I need something in between
I have been twittering and blogging for a while now, trouble is I am one of the laziest bloggers on the planet. Its not that I don't want to write its mostly coz i end up writing insanely long thesis every time i write something on my blog. Which is why I loved the idea of twitter. I could punch away ideas in that 140 char limit and be happy about it. but as things go somethings even that isn't enough. There has to be some middle ground.
