  • vim Settings in the File You’re Editing

    Vim scans the first and last few lines of the file for modelines, if the modeline option is on (which it is, by default). If it finds any it will apply those settings as if you had typed them in manually using :set in command mode.

    #!/bin/sh
# vim:ts=2:sw=2:expandtab

  • TOYOTA: Speech by Akio Toyoda – president of Toyota Motor Corporation

    “Contributing to society” at Toyota means two things.  First, it means, “to manufacture automobiles that meet the needs of society and enrich people’s lives.”  And second, “to take root in the communities we serve by creating jobs, earning profits and paying taxes, thereby enriching the local economies where we operate.”

  • Russian Peasant Multiplication

    Start by writing the two numbers to be multiplied at the head of two columns. Then they repeatedly divide the number in the left column by two (dropping any remainder) and double the number in the right column, writing the two new numbers immediately below their predecessors, until the number in the left column is one. Then they cross out all rows where the number in the left column is even, and add the remaining numbers in the right column, which is the desired product.

    For instance, the product eighteen times twenty-three is found like this.

  • Learn More : Longer videos – YouTube Help

    Youtube video rejected

    Ouch! And I was on my way to use Youtube as the only video sharing too. Duh! What was I thinking?

    Maybe now is the time to start hosting your own videos.

    Learn More : Longer videos – YouTube Help.

    “You can no longer upload videos longer than ten minutes regardless of what type of account you have. Users who had previously been allowed to upload longer content still retain this ability, so you may occasionally see videos that are longer than ten minutes.”

  • Solving Rubik’s cube

    Finally I can solve the regular 3 x 3 rubik’s cube, and the more complex 5 x 5 Professor’s cube with ease. 🙂
    3 x 3 solve –

    5 x 5 solve –

    Once my children learn to solve it as well, I’ll upload their videos too. 😀

  • Amrita talks over phone

    If you can understand what she said, do explain it to me too! 🙁

  • Dell 5150c not noisy any longer

    My desktop, a Dell Dimension 5150c, purchased about 3-4 years ago, was annoyingly noisy for a while. Last time when I changed the PSU, I thought the annoyance would go away. But it didn’t. The CPU fan, San Ace 80, was the main culprit. At sometimes (which was almost everytime) it used to power the CPU fan so loud, that to listen to music or watch a video, we had to pump up the volume to almost twice than usually should be.
    Today I took up in my mind to replace it, and switched to a Kama-Flex.
    Superbly quiet, about 2500 rpm, and cooling efficiency nothing comparable to the older one.
    Was worth the try!
