My second video

So i had made this video earlier of Agnimayan Maar. That was of a little poor quality. So today i have made a new one- the same tune- but the quality is slightly better. I will try to upload more of such songs.

Fact: In the whole of internet, this video is the only source of songs from Orthodox Malayalee Christians of India. Enjoy!!

You may view the video below or here (YouTube.) Or you could view full screen over here.

Crickball or Fooket

I was just going across some site when i saw this news report about Chessboxing-Yup you heard it right- ChessBoxing. It may be common to many, but certainly new to me. According to Wikipedia

A match between two opponents consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess, starting with a four-minute chess round followed by two minutes of boxing and so on. Between rounds there is a one minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The form of chess played is speed chess in which each competitor has a total of twelve minutes for the whole game. Competitors may win by knockout, checkmate, a judge's decision or if their opponent's twelve minutes of chess time elapses. If a contestant does not make a move in the chess round, he will be issued a warning by the referee. At the second warning the contestant will be disqualified.

So I thought of sport- that would be the hybrid of Cricket and Football.


Oh how good it would be
For starters, the ball to be used will be the mixture of sizes of the Soccer ball and Cricket ball- say a medium-large cricket ball. The ball will be placed just before the crease line at the off-strikers end. The striker will kick the ball to the batsman- No chucking that way,eh Murli?- who will be wearing half pants, like the rest of the team (Tatenda would look like a school boy then.)

Scoring: The official unit to measure the points(like runs or goals) would be ruls (gouls would sound like the name of an animal. Imagine-'...and John has hit a goul..'-PETA alert). The batsman will have to hit the ball into the goal posts placed at the boundary lines which will be at a distance of 15 yards from the wicket. Each post will have its value according to dificulty to score into that area. The fielders will be wearing gloves and standing like goalies- each for each post- to save the opposite team from scoring.

Rules will be a mixture-like you may tackle the batsman when he his attempting to take a run,but only the bowler. Bowler may bowl beamers all day which the battie could head around all day.Doping is allowed.

And of course it will be played in a rectangular pitch with rounded corners.

This post is not intended to hurt anyone.

What happened yesterday

Yup, at last- after 3 yrs,3 months,3 days and 3hrs (it could have been 33.33 seconds as well, but i spent it in trying to just boot up my XP) of useless planning, last night i decided to write my first novel. So after attending the Holy Mass I sat on this PC to begin writing my novel. I switched on my PC and there was a chkdsk scheduled and it took the best part of half an hour to get my PC running. Just as i was above to open Word( yup, i still use Word), I remembered that I had to catch up on my serial, F.R.I.E.N.D.S.( dont still know what the dots are for). After that my mom came yelling in to clean up my room-Sunday-Beginning of the week-Auspicious day. After that i just saw the newspaper and well the next hour was over. I had recorded a song and wanted to see how i could edit and make it more special. So I began to put effects in it and re-recordeded it.Then..

----Snack Time-----

----Movie time-----

----Dinner Time----

----More Junk Food Time----

----Sleep on the sofa with all junk food wrappers Time----

And this was how i forgot to brush my teeth.

Save nature- I While searching

So as the first part of a series i wish to begin, on saving the nature, the first step we all could do is to change our homepage or search to blackle.com
Blackle is a google custom search engine, but as the name suggests, it supports a black interface. The developers say that the power a monitor requires to display a bright screen is more than that required to display a dark screen. This is what was written in the site about it-

How is Blackle saving energy?

Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.

Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002

In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.

We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.

How can you help?

We encourage you to set Blackle as your home page (Ctrl+D). This way every time you load your Internet browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Blackle page load.

Help us spread the word about Blackle by telling your friends and family to set it as their home page. If you have a blog then give us a mention. Or put the following text in your email signature: "Blackle.com - Saving energy one search at a time".

Have a look at our energy saving tips page for ideas on steps you can take to save energy.

There are a lot of great web sites about saving energy and being more environmentally friendly. They are full of great tips covering the little things that we can all do to make a difference today. Try Blackling "energy saving tips" or visit one of the many great blogs dedicated to environmental awareness.

Also the actual person who first struck the idea posted the followin content in his blog-http://ecoiron.blogspot.com/

Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year

As noted, an all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. I thought I would do a little math and see what could be saved by moving a high volume site to the black format.

Take at look at Google, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background [on a CRT monitor! mjo] will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that's $75,000, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.

So how about it. Do your part for the enviorment. Go to blackle.com

Save the world. Save yourself.
