I heard that the movie ‘Aamir’ is too good. So, I was reading few reviews of it on ‘Passion for Cinema’. While reading the reviews of it, I thought, I’ll just google for more reviews. Well, Google pushed me Aamirkhan.com as its first result. I’ve read that Aamir Khan has started blogging, but never seen his blog.

Well, as the matter of fact, he is more active than me, he started smoking again, and his blog’s registration has an injection vulnerability. I couldnt find any details of the webmaster there (duh, I dint search hard). I’m just attaching the screenshot of the vulnerability. If any of you guys are hard core Aamir fans, just catch the stupid webmaster and tell him the fix the bug. If any of you SRK/BigB fans are reading this, don’t drop the table.

• What the heck happened to democracy
• Threat to freedom of expression
• Big brother
• Hypocrisy

These the few comments I’ve seen on a post today at TechCrunch The post is about an Indian software Engineer getting arrested for creating a community in Orkut. Well, its not ‘any’ community but a community which he named “I hate Sonia Gandhi” and he had few vulgar comments about her there.

As Sonia Gandhi is PM of India (Isn’t she the real PM ?), few people might wanted to impress her or may really din’t like what this kid is doing. They asked Google for his account details. Google dint tell no - and gave his email id. And through email id they got his identity. Trust me, this guy is either a dumb-f*** or he never expected his silly-hatred-hobby to become such a big deal. He had that community under his email address rahulvaidindia [at] gmail [dot] com and the cyber crime cell of Pune cought him and now he is arrested.

There are several things to be given a thought after this incident. Major of them are

• Don’t be a dumb-f*** and start hate-communities
• Freedom of expression, democracy etc etc are the terms which others use for you when you are in jail
• When doing stupid things DO make sure that you are not doing anything against law
• Not everyone is as good as Piratebay guys - they are doing nothing against law (in their country atleast) and even they were arrested once
• And finally - Grow Up. You achieve nothing by creating a hate-community other than waste your time

If you see few of my previous posts, you would understand that I hate rediff. But, come on, its my best time pass. Those dumb bugs, annoying ads, silly flame wars on boards make my day almost every day When you hate something (someone), you are doing nothing but giving it (them) more importance in your life which you certainly wouldn’t want to do.

Have fun on internet.

Friendfeed is a one great service which I’m using from few days/weeks. So, I thought, I will publish my friendfeed on this blog. Well, as usual, I’ve some of my own requirements. Requirement is that I dont want to show it on my sidebar, but I want to dedicate a page for it. So, I need to take json/xml/rss/atom from friendfeed and create html out of it. Obvious is that I’ve to either write a JS to parse it client side or PHP script to parse it server side. PHP was my choice and I needed an option to exec php on single page. There was on plugin named phpexec, but, I wasn’t very comfortable (call it being paranoid) for using that plugin.

So, I used a small work around. I created a page feed.php and added

/*

Template Name: My Friendfeed

*/

Now, my wordpress thinks that its a template and gives me an option of choosing template while creating pages. I created a page but without any content. I wrote all my php logic in feed.php and now wordpress parses the template and gives me required output. Anyway, you can download the code here. You’ve to extract the contents to your theme folder. Btw, You can see it working here.

Well, its a hackjob. It works (only) for me. If you want to do same, you’ve to edit the code according to your needs. It could have been done far more easily, but my stupid host has php4 and I missed many features. And, I’ve had something else in mind (I thought to publish friendfeed I follow, ie., all friends’ feeds) but later changed mind. By the way, if you don’t know what’s friendfeed, it is an aggregator of all 2.0ish services you might be using in a small definition. Check it if you want to know more, you wont be disappointed.

PS: There is absolutely no reason why I haven’t blogged for more than a month. I wasn’t busy. Its just that nothing had happened in my life to blog. Absolutely nothing. Uhmm, wait, I’ve been to Coorg on an adventure trip. Nothing more than that.

Scared and bored of this stuff. Even before the traces of VTech were gone, one idiot did same crap in Finland and now another idiot did the same thing in Northern Illinois university.

As everyone tells, US Govt. should do something regarding this. I’ve no clue what they should do, but they should do something. They should do that ’some thing’ so that this ’same thing’ wont happen again and again. Bloody they really should do ‘that thing’ as fast as possible to avoid another occurrence of ‘this thing’.

Enough crap. I’m pissed off by the idiots who are killing people just because they’re losers and they want to die. Guys, there is something named suicide, bloody do it if you want to die, don’t kill others.

All you psychopaths there, understand this. Live is a long process for others unlike you guys. They have had worked very hard for their life. They have had worked very hard for their relations. Bloody, atleast one of them must have called 100 times in a weekend to apologize his girl friend. Atleast one of them must have slept at 5 AM for a week to finish his homework. Running behind the bus to catch it so that he don’t miss the examination. And you guys have no clue about desi-students there. I know how hard is life of an Indian student. Competition, competition and more competition. Just in search of better life, they’ve left their loved ones, friends, city and even country and are living in your place. They’ve had lived all their life to make the rest of their life better.

You being one annoyed kid right from your child hood, take one bloody pistol and shoot in the crowd and when it hits one of the above students I mentioned ….. That’s it. All the trouble he has taken for whole of his life, for the rest of it, is gone in vain. Because of one ass’le like you, not only his dreams are shattered but all his loved ones hearts are broken.

After doing all that, you don’t get any satisfaction. You just want to kill yourself. Why the hell you wont consider this option first when you really want to go out of this world ? If you want a normal solution, bloody consult a damn psychiatrist. He will certainly give you a solution which doesn’t involve bullets and broken hearts.

Well, after writing this, all I can understand is, argh, who’s going to read, understand and change ? Just chillax with a joke. Thanks XKCD.
