Google Caffeine!

Just bumped in to the article about Google Caffeine @ techtree.com http://www.techtree.com/India/Guides/Google_Caffeine_Promises_a_Stimulating_Effect/551-105887-584-4.html wont say tat the article was reallll impressive but then i found tat google Caffeine existed and i got the URL from it ;) So Danke TechTree!!
I had always wondered  how to remove a search entry from the Google History in a easy manner. I had wanted to pause Search History using a Dell Pause Play Button kidah stuff on my browser window or atleast in the google search page ;) but then Google caffeine has the ability to REMOVE a indexed/saved search query from your history! You could see the option "Remove" next to my indexed search query which is listed based on Auto Completion.
Of all other milliseconds wise comparison, this should be a feature which should attract geeks ;) I even tried n found that this feature is NOT integrated so far in the original Google Search. ;)

Keeping track of the words you stumble up on

I got to admit am not tat gr8 @ vocabulary. . I do look up the meaning of the words which i stumble up on. Mostly its a search query "Meaning [word]". I do use both Bing and Google. Lets not debate here which is btr, i do feel both have their speciality.  Considering Google Caches the search queries of mine if you had turned on Caching, lets forget the security risks, pro's & cons stuff. I know for sure i cant memorize the entire Dictionary, but then i can do stumble up on words on an increasing frequency and i SHOULD keep track of the words i just found the meaning of.

I was thinking why not use the Google search history for that. I was compelled to Search " meaning" in the google web history. There was no option to add an Extra Filter say "Meanings/Synonym" along with "Web, Images, Sponsored Link" blah blah blah.. I seriously think custom filters can be added.  No EXPORT as Xlsx button!!! Thats got to be really cool & innovative.

I wanted to export all ma "Meaning/ Synonym" searches. On querying "export google search history" This bugger had a 4.4 * 10 power 6 Search hits & still NO Feature Addition to Web history!!!! any ways,  i was led to this page, the first result.
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/04/google-web-history.html searching for "export" i nailed ma intended text which was

"* How to export all your web history?

You can export it as a feed. Here's the URL: http://www.google.com/history/lookup?q=&output=rss&num=1000 (the num parameter controls the number of items included in the feed)."

I was able to extract a RSS out of it, evidently using a small .net app i will be able to Extract the XML and process it to get the list of words i had found the meaning for in the past. Was just wondering if Google Search APIs could be used to pull data from Users Web History. Bing doesnt cache the search queries, but then On user Searching for Meaning or Synonym we can pull it from a IE addon and process the same.

i could visualize a cool desktop gadget which asks you the meaning of the words which u hav searched earlier. I neednt explain the further functionalities of the application right?! :)

Stocks N BAdminton two new Entries

Just like tat i wana try ma luck with making money using ma indigenous Heuristics.. Ma first stock was Satyam. I was lucky and a Moron! Guess why, coz i got a whooping profit of 390% and All i had invested in Satyam shares was "750" bucks.. Recently though i dont have a deep pocket i have been trading with medium risk factors.. Got to admit i read Economic Times web page for the first time in ma lyf, jus to know the market and make profit out of it.. When i was doing ma 12th, i used to wonder why these elder folks were watching Business newz!! now am hunting for the best business newz medium ;) tats quite a change..

And there comes the other guy, "Badminton" i dont play the best but then all i wana be is "Not 2 hav ma frnds frown tat I had come to play wit em ;)" i do play th best in a place, i seldom run around the court.. Wana improve on tat part.. Last time i had played badminton was in ma school, Now i have resumed tat sport! Infact tats the only sport i do play now, ofcourse excluding playing i do with th mouse and KBD.

got to say, these two things are sucking up quite my IDLE && worthless way spent time ;)

Spectator for the First International Match

Finally i made it to an International Match AKA The World Badminton championship @ gachibowli.. Aint sure if the organizers read ma blog, but then they started selling daily tickets :D We bunch of frnds attended it, and yeah we went in the evening tho we bought a Days Ticket ;)

First thing, it could hav been organized lil more bettr.. Ended up watching matches between players whom i have never even heard of! Thanks to our frnd AKA "the Feminist" who said "Who is Who" abt each player.. It was like as if we had a commentator with us :P :D
There were couple of kids supporting the players with their cute voice.. Peter had a 0.9 prob of success in Children supporting him js tat the Kids learnt how to spell "King Peter" in their School lessons.. The complex named chinese lost evidently..
"If u wanna be a Celeb, go ask MAMA to baptize you with a Common and easily spellable name dude!!! :P ;)"
And thr came saina.. I cant say tat i play as gud as her but then tat doesnt prevent me from commenting on her shots.. She could have been spinning around the court but then she was no way comparable to the other World No. 2 "Complex named" chinese player.. Though we supprted "Saina, Saina" gues the other player tuk it optimistically as "China, China" n kept smashing Naina oops, its Saina :P ;)

Sainas shots were too high even while handling the opponents Smashes. Was just wondering Gopichand sitting there Got 2 "luv to grab the racket from her hand and finish th game al by himself :P"

And there is the H1N1.. There were loads of ppl with Worthless masks tied on them and many protecting their NECk rather the nostrils and mouth!! Off the doubts i had while checking out ppl ;) the one main thing which kept me thinking was.. " Are the ppl with Masks really trying to protect themselves or Are they Infected n trying to prevent an Endemic?!?!" the very thought of it scared me!!!
I even entered the Yonex spcl sales counter, had a Hi wit couple of Chinese and Japs who where trying to bargain on the racket prices along with 100 others including me.. I was shit scared of having one infected around me..
In th nyt while having a Spicy Chicken from the local Malayali mess ( Kairali) the usual watering in the mouth and the running nose due to spice made me wonder!! Am i?!?!?! i know it sounds stupid but then some times i am happy tat i think like a normal man ;)

Though i had been a ardent fan of Jack Bauer and have witnessed much worse things in 24! H1N1 still scares me ;) Wish i am immune :D Wat the hell, Wish every one is Immune ;)  God bless US.

Badminton World Championship @ ma backyard!!

Yeah this time the World badminton champtionship does happen in ma backyard ;) bt then al the gud thing abt it is, the roads got cleaner, pot holes and Valley Holes!! where removed! street lights were laid, and lots of benefits :D bt then dont ask me how the players felt :P th only worse part is tat i heard the tickets are sold for a person for watching the entire tournament! Which is really funny, in india you dont find so many ppl who wana dedicate so much time and money! the best could hav been selling tickets per match or per day! may be along with entire tournament package..

lets see if they do sell a days ticket, then you could see me on TV :D recently i hav got a sport to track and play!! rather stuck wit ma usual stuf!!

BTW today ma firefox happend to bleed to death, though it was some sites issue or me killing the process pre maturely it stil was so humble 2 display the below msg!!! i kindah liked it ;)

Never Chain the STUDS they create too much NOISE! :P

I visited ma parents for about two weeks.. it was defntly a break from ma office stress.. Not to mention i was getting up daily with possible answers to the Expected Questions tat might b thrown @ me.. Tat was defntly the pathetic way to get out of ur bed.. N tat made me tak a break for 2 weeks ;)
Okay getting back to the point of STUDS and Chain.. it was @ ma home  as a typical Indian house there wasnt power fr most of the time.. and each power cut will be for an interval for couple of hours.. and some times there were Complete power shut down for a whole day...
Already i was missing internet @ ma home, added to tat i was sweating like hell and was getting bored due to power cuts.. Inspite of all tat i somehow tried to sleep, bt then i was never able to sleep @ any point of time.. The reason was "the male dogs chained in more than 7 neighborhood houses.. "  All the 7 houses have dogs and i got to mention they are REAL STUDS! well fed and moderately trained, but then if u r a thief then u got to think twice before entering our area ;)

Having continously been disturbed i jumped out to check out wats really wrong with these dogs. That too not one was barking like hell but it was the whole battalion of dogs in ma locality.. when i jumped out i immediately started to laugh seeing the pathetic situation of these so called STUDS ;)

There were couple of stray dogs in a real bad shape and there was a female dog ( i think i can truly call her a BITCH :P) now these Guy stray dogs were having an awwwwwsome time wit tat BITCH and these poor STUDS chained had no other alternative but to BARK BARK n BARK

At tat time i was cursing these stupid dogs for not letting me sleep, bt then aftr witnessing their pathetic state.. i really felt sorry for em! infact i could correlate the same things wit humans :P ;)  NEVER EVER EVER CHAIN THE STUDS!

i really dont get this EU intervension in OS sales

Jus read an article which said MSFT has agreed for a web browser ballot screen. it reads as ""Microsoft has decided that the last thing it needs in this economy is some combination of the following: fines, legal bills, and a delay of Windows 7. It has offered to adopt the European Union's preferred solution for browser competition: a browser selector screen at startup." - http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/07/24/1927255&tid=77

 What th hell, now they ask us to give a ballot screen for Browsers and wat prevents them from asking for a media player ballot screen in future and So on and so forth.. We dont say tat OS will work only with IE, users can install any damn thing they want.. it really puzzles me wats th necessity in having a ballot screen..

Plz dont tell me tat the EU is gona b mad again for a possible DEFAULT Checked=true in the Radio option next to IE among other alternatives!!!!
