July 2008

It’s almost 4 in the morning but I had to finish this one. After all it was on my list of must-watch flicks this summer. Wanted is one hell of an action movie. James McAvoy is simply superb and Angelina Jolie fits in brilliantly. Full of special effects this is one movie I really wanted to watch in the theaters. Morgan Freeman was wasted, totally. On the whole a must-watch no nonsense super action flick.


my first facebook application

I am supposed to come up with something for a Summer Training project. I can’t bang my head into Java (that’s actually what I am supposed to do) so I decided to play with Facebook instead. After a little reading and a lot of head banging I am finally there! All that time spent earlier on developing in PHP, MySQL and JavaScript finally paid off. The application is for movie reviews. I plan to integrate it with an upcoming venture in the future especially when Facebook Connect has been announced. The application is still in an Alpha stage. A lot of work needs to be done. That’s on my agenda for the entire next week. Wish me luck!

Top Essential Gadgets for College!

July 27, 2008

Alarm Clock “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” We all remember Benjamin Franklin’s saying so well. I agree the early to bed part doesn’t fit within the college lifestyle but early to rise sure does. Morning alarm clocks are as essential as high speed broadband connections for [...]
