Dear ‘Dr. Doom’ [ March 7th, 2010 ] Posted in » Internet

Some chap calling himself Dr. Doom (I thought Adithya had dibs on this name) posted some stuff on my shoutbox that I felt deserved a reply in the form of a post. I wonder if he will see this.

Dr. Doom : Hi, I found your blog when I was searching information about CS. I have a few questions. Can you answer them please?

Use the Email Me link.

Dr. Doom : Your blog is really good btw. I don’t understand the veeraswamy clip. You south Indians are a bit strange.

I’m surprised that you speak English. Where are you from?

Dr. Doom : Sir, can you answer my query regarding CS? Also, I am not sure if you have noticed but your about page has been hacked by some hacker called rAgHa :/

Email me and I will reply in detail. And yes, I know what the contents of my about page are. It is intentional.

An Inspiration

It is said that Jeffery Archery was inspired by this:

Unrelated: Check out Gouthami. A welcome relief in that ghastly era of fat heroines.

Anime Oz

Hmmm. Interesting look. But why does the lion looks like a scarecrow while the scarecrow looks like a cowboy bounty hunter?

Mile Sur… Ennavo Indhila Solranga Pa

Remember that old ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara’ (I don’t know what it means nor do I care) that we were forced to listen to on Doordarshan over and over again without knowing what the hell it was until we got some real television channels and could remove DD from the channels list? Well, for the 60th Republic Day they remade the whole thing.

Read Krish Ashok’s review of it here: Mile Sur Mera Tomorrow? Fail

Yes, It’s Because Of My Tonsils

Today I met this friend of a friend who was totally surprised when I said I was from [place]. “You don’t have the [place] accent”, he said gesturing at his throat.

I wanted to tell him “Yes, you’re right. I had throat surgery to have my accent removed.” Instead I did the Apu accent and asked if that was preferable expecting him to laugh at it but the guy didn’t quite get it. I suspect he knew people who actually spoke like that! :O

How can you get away with this?

Seriously, how can you get away with this? Oh, the lengths that we go

And http://weather.nic.in directs to Yahoo!’s weather page. Pathetic.

Vaporware 2009: Inhale the Fail

This Wired article is so full of awesome phrases such as Inhale the Fail, Prepare to taste the waste, But the alien super-races must have signed some sort of armistice, because 12 years have lapsed since StarCraft’s release, and there’s still no StarCraft II and Perhaps it’s taking them extra time to figure out how to take the LAN networking code out. –Andrew Lett (a comment about StarCraft’s release date).

Black Mesa is especially interesting since I haven’t played Half Life. By the time I got to the game, I had already played other games with superior graphics and Half Life looked so dated and upappealing.

Tones On Phones

So far I’ve heard the following ringtones on my floor at work:

  • Rammstein – Engel
  • Duck Tales theme in Hindi (yes, the one that they used to run on DD back when we had no other channels)
  • The IT Crowd theme
  • Swat Kats theme

What’s my ringtone you ask? My phone is on Silent at work.
