awesome question!!!!!!

Which way is the bus below travelling?

To the left or to the right?












Can't make up your mind?

Look carefully at the picture again.

Still don't know?












Primary school children were shown this picture and asked the same question.

90% of them gave this answer:

"The bus is travelling to the right.."

When asked, "Why do you think the bus is travelling to the right?"

They answered:

"Because you can't see the door to get on the bus."


How do you feel now???

Lyrics Plug-in

It’s a handy plug-in that downloads and displays lyrics of any song u play from Winamp/Media Player or any other recognized music software.

There is this particular plug-in for lyrics that I’ve been using for ages right now but i find to my surprise that many of my friends don’t use any similar software when they play music..


download at http://www.lyricsplugin.com/.

There are dozens of such software of course but i find this the most comfortable.You can google lyrics plug in if u want a different software.

Of course, you need to be connected to the Internet while using the software.

The lyrics database is pretty huge and recognized most songs. it correctly displayed the lyrics for a few German and Spanish songs in my collection, leaving me pretty impressed.

A usual problem that arises is that your song file has not been named properly. For example, if you are playing a Led Zeppelin song, and the name of your file is LedZep’s Best Ever Song-Stairway! , Lyrics plug in might not recognize it. Go to file info (which can be accessed by right clicking usually) and correctly enter the name of the song and artist and u should be ready to go.

So next time you like a particular song and want to see the lyrics…don’t go google it or something…see it right on your music player.

Enjoy!

awesome movie!!!

jana tu ya jane na!!!

the movie simply rocks atleat according to me..its abt a group of friends n abt their life after coll.songs simply rock..
got to see the movie yesterday with my friends.as usual we got the best print through rapid share account.enjoyed watching it..

Music map!!

I came across this Awesome Website to find new music.
it is music-map.com , the tourist map of music.

You like an artist? Find him on the map and the closest artists to the one you entered are one s that you are more likely to enjoy.

It Works brilliantly, atleast for me.

My favourite artist is The Doors, and the closest on the map to The Doors?Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, next in my line of favorites!

And so on..i just used this “map” to find somebody like Simon and Garfunkel,a band i really like.I got Cat Stevens…and im Hooked!!

Check it out. :)

Gloss session on Open High Availability Cluster(OHAC)

gloss is the open source club at ma collage,SASTRA..
we had a inagural session for this academic year on 30 june,and along with that a talk on clusters..i just had a basic idea about it but after attending the session i could get a clear picture of it.the session had a great start by a vidoe being played.then abhishek atarted off from the basics and explained a whole lot.
There would be a heavy loss of data and currency when we have a crash in servers or say, when a disaster strikes.
Interrupt received!!!
Oops! No donut for you! etc..
Actually clusters are two or more systems that execute a applications given to them.In case of a failure to one cluster, the other cluster tolerates and gives a fail safe execution for the application.
so the loss of data can be minimised!!!
the session was really useful n informative.
hope to have such in the future too.kudos to abhishek..
