Ranjith’s Castle

Twitter is a micro blogging application on the web. I really hate the punch line “What are you doing?“. I do all my micro blogging under the name “From My Mind“.

Twitter should give some option to change the Tag Line to whatever people like to put there..

Expecting Twitter to come out back with the IM Option soon !!!

Cheers - Ranjith

There is an option of Pages from India in both the search engines Yahoo and Google. There is a basic flaw in the way yahoo displays the results for this option. I have my blog hosted with skynet hosing an US hosting company. But I am also looking at changing my service provider to India Hosting. I often use to check where my blog stands for a check on google and Yahoo for wrods like ranjith,ranjith kumar,etc., Good to see that my site comes third on Google

I used to write about India and the surroundings of Tamil Nadu on my travel and other stuffs. I thought of searching with the pages from India options.

Yahoo treats Pages hosted in India are only the pages from India. On the contrary, Google lists my page at the same place as all the previous entries of mine holds thoughts and writings about India in spite of the hosted province.

That is good right, a page having information about India is a page from India. It seems Yahoo has taken the English meaning of the phrase while Google has taken the contextual meaning and implemented what people exactly need.

These are the small things that makes Google go big on the Search Market.

It is interesting to know that a date last for 24 hours. I saw the following quote on one of my friends chat status message.

A day lasts 24 hours, but a date lasts 48 hours!

Every one know that the world rotates and one part of earth sleeps while the other part runs in day life. To be more precise, for a person the day has 24 hours starting from 00:00:00 am to 23:59:59 PM. But when you see the date of the month. It starts for a person sitting @ x deg longitude @ 00:00:00 hours and ends for a person sitting @ x + delta deg. longitude on the west is  at 23:59:59 PM the previous da(y)te. So for a particular date to go out of the earth in not 24 hours and it will take 48 hours.

This is defined by the International DateLine. [Little hard to visualize, But Interesting…]

The unit used to measure the size of the binary data in the information technology world is Bit,Byte,KiloByte, MegaByte,etc.,

The actual measurement has a binary [bi] inbetween to define it belongs to the IT world. But for the convenience of us we are using the words commonly used in the decimal world.

1 Kibibyte [1024] is 2.4% more than than 1 Kilobyte [1000] and the factor increases as the size increases.

Start using KibiByte

Larry Page is the co-founder of Google. He explains that there are a lot of opportunities present around us and we are not ready to take them up and convert them correctly into a commercial winner. The area like Thermal , Solar Energy and Accident prevention are todays necessity and a very very few people work on the same and the progress we make in these areas are very very less.

Excellent read on CNN Money
