It is difficult to verify the performance gain as DNS resolution occurs very quickly, but apparently the code aims to help you save a few miliseconds :)

My meetings this week

I was wondering on how much meetings I had this week and was trying to write some thing to figure that out automatically. AppleScript came to help since I was using ical and it took me about 3 hours to start from basics to get what I have, the following code. Result is 18 meetings and the total time I spend on meetings is 16 hours.

global total_meeting_hours

global num_meetings

set total_meeting_hours to 0

set num_meetings to 0

tell application "iCal"

tell calendar "calendar"

set theEvents to every event

repeat with e in theEvents

set sd to start date of e

set sm to month of sd

set d to day of sd

if sm contains March and (d > 21 and d < 27) then

set ed to end date of e

set h to (ed - sd) / (60 * 60)

set m_summary to summary of e

set total_meeting_hours to total_meeting_hours + h

set num_meetings to num_meetings + 1

end if

end repeat

end tell

end tell

 

display dialog total_meeting_hours

display dialog num_meetings

Crockford's Talk

• HTML was derived from SGML. SGML is something used internally at IBM and Tim adopted it for world wide web
• The browser makers went into a competition on who could make the best sense of a very bad html document
• Next is the end of all things!

Yahoo Maps

Its very inconvenient that I have to do an extra click on the text box to start typing in something. Why don't they auto focus?

Why Google Will Die One Day!

I was trying to post a comment on a youtube video today and found that there was a bug in the comment feature. I am not sure on what the bug is but it surprised me that, a major destination on web had a bug on a very basic feature with a lot of talented engineers behind it. Where is the flaw? process? ownership? View this screencast (watch it on screencast if you cannot see on whats going on) -

கனவா நினைவா

(மணம்)
கனவா நினைவா என் கண்கள் தேடும் தீவா
உறவா உயிரா என் மனதில் பூத்த பூவா
உனை வேராக உறிஞ்சிடுவேனா
எனை தீயாக சுடுபவள் நீயா
மழையாய் மனதில் விழுந்தவள் நீயே தானா...

(மலர்)
எனை தாங்கும் புவி தாயே
உயிரான மெய் நீயே
இதயத்தில் இன்று கேட்கும் இசை நீயடா
கடலோர அலை நீயே
எனை தீண்ட வருவாயே
நிழலாக நானும் அன்பே நிஜம் நீயடா
மலரில் மனமாய் ஒன்று சேர்ந்தவன் நீயடா

(நிழல்)
கனவாய் நினைவாய் என் கண்கள் தேடும் தீவா
உறவா உயிரா என் மனதில் பூத்த பூவா
(நிஜம்)
உனை வேராக உறிஞ்சிடுவேனா
எனை தீயாக சுடுபவள் நீயா
(நிழல்)
மழையாய் மனதில் விழுந்தவன் நீயே தானா...

(உயிர் - நிழல் + நிஜம்)
கனவா நினைவா என் கண்கள் தேடும் தீவா
உறவா உயிரா என் மனதில் பூத்த பூவா..
