I've put the blog on an indefinite Hiatus (again). Sorry, I don't have enough time to
blog anymore. But I will be back.... sometime. So please keep checking, and do not
remove my blog from your bookmark! Later, homies!

eXlinks is supposedly an exponential link growing site. It is supposed to increase incoming links, boost pagerank and traffic massively. In short, eXlinks is going to kick some major ass! Follow the link above, or the one here to go to their page and sign up. Signing up now gives some extra benifit after the site goes live, says the eXlinks sign up page.
How does this work? They haven't revealed it yet, and won't, until the site is launched officially. But paranoid nuts who care about site traffic (like me) can go there and sign up now and invite a few friends to beat the rush.
P.S: This blog will probably be hibernating this whole week, or there will be some random posts. Regular readers, pardon.
In a new move, Microsoft has decided to incorporate a new feature in the yet to be released Windows Vista, which would stop running Open Source or any other non-Microsoft product. If the user(s) want(s) to run them, Vista would cost an additional $ 95. "This new decision has been taken to keep the competition out of the way," said Billy Gates. "It would also help me cover my recent deficits" he added.
When asked what Microsoft would do if people started moving towards alternative Operating Systems, the Chairman replied, "Heh. Our cool new interface would keep the suckers glued to our product. We're roping in a famous model-actress to promote Vista."
With the already seperated features such as Windows Aero, Integrated Search, Sidebar, Windows Mail, Windows Calendar, Photo Gallery, DVD maker, Media Player 11, Media centre features and loads of hoardes of other features, the Windows Vista Ultimate Edition would cost around $ 500. Looks like Billy will cross the $ 100 billion mark very soon.
Almost a month after planet Pluto's demotion, Bluto - popular villian and arch enemy of Popeye the sailor man (toot, toot) gets the axe. Bluto has been officially demoted to Blutoid status, which contains other has-been villains such as Yellow Pinky, Goldflipper the walrus, Dr.O the opossum and Morocco Mole's evil twin of Secret Squirrel fame, Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory and - in a move that surprised many - Dick Dastardly and Muttley of Wacky Races fame.
Bluto was reportedly disappointed by this decision from the panel of experts which chose to demote his status, "This is a real blow for genuine bad guys. I'm being axed for doing my job. Meanwhile, Popeye is setting a bad example by continually smoking the pipe."
Popeye, on the other hand, seemed rather amused by the apparent demise of his rival, "Ug! Ug! Ug! Ug! Now I gotz Olive all to meself!"
He was last seen heading toward Ms.Oyl's bedroom with a tin of spinach.
The Slim's Wacky Blog!™ Board of Directors (me and my alter ego) have decided to include 'Satire' as one of the many subjects this blog covers. A new category, satire has been created so you, the precious reader, can keep track of posts under that category.
Alright, enough foolin' around. Keep'a lookin' for some good stuff in the near future.
Today's newspaper headline screamed those exact words. For a change, this news of death made me go . "Ah, the towelhead is finally dead!", I thought. Reading on, I came to know this was not the first time his death was reported. I became a little sceptic then about the news. Then it went on to report that this news was leaked from the French intelligence. The French, bah. Now I had a real reason to be sceptic about the whole thing. He's probably hiding in Pakistan, in President Perverse... err... I mean Pervez Musharraf's basement with his four tootsie (read: whore) wives.
Tomorrow, we'll probably see Bin Laden releasing a video tape dismissing the French intelligence reports and mocking them (who doesn't mock the French?). He'd probably go, "I almost did die... My terrorist friends threw me a party, and I got drunk as fuck... and almost had my 119th child with this hot Arabian chick!".
A lot of you probably have Gmail as your primary email account, and it frustrates you that you have to use another email service when attaching executable (exe) files in your mail. Though Gmail does it for "security reasons", it is no excuse since they have an anonymous virus scanner (they haven't named which AV they're using) to scan attachments. But now, there is a solution to send executable attachments in Gmail! I accidently stumbled across this idea, and it takes you, the sender, and the recepient to do a little trick before you can send and recieve EXE's. Read on to find out how I stumbled across this idea, and how you can send EXE's!
So, this is how I stumbled across this idea. I was trying to embed a swf (flash) file on my MySpace that would play music. But MySpace, as arrogant as it is, started blocking the file and displayed the actual source code instead. I tried removing the .swf extension, uploading the file to a host and embedding it. Worked like magic! And suddenly I had an idea. Yep, you guessed it, an idea for sending EXE files with Gmail.
Firstly, you have to go to your Control Panel and look for "Folder Options". This can alternatively be accessed from the "My Computer" or Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer!) "tools" menu. After the menu pops up, click on the "View" tab. Look for the option "Hide extensions for known file types" (highlighted in blue in the picture) and unckeck it. Click Apply, and then OK. Now, you will see the extension ".exe" in every executable file on your PC.
Now, the neat trick I was talking about. Rename the executable you want to attach in Gmail to ".jpg". For eg. if the file you want to send is "Blindows.exe", rename it to "Blindows.jpg". If the executable is large, you can Zip it. But remember to do this neat trick before zipping it.
Your recepient has to do the next part of this neat trick. Ask him/her/it to download the recieved file, do the renaming trick on his/her/its PC. For eg. ask him/her/it to rename the recieved file back to "Blindows.jpg" to "Blindows.exe". Now, attach the file and wear an evil smile on your face because you've fooled Gmail into attaching an executable file.
Note: This trick can be done on any email service that does not support certain file types. Just do the renaming trick to change the extension to a supported file type.
Warning: Be sure to scan executable files you recieve with a trusted Anti-Virus software. You never know when a script kiddie would misuse this neat trick.
You heard it right, folks. A years supply of tiger poo went on auction on eBay. And wouldn't you know, someone actually bought it. For £ 241. Now before you conclude the world has gone nuts (like I did, and well, it is nuts but that is a different story altogether), tiger poo actually keeps domestic moggies (whatever that is?) and foxes away from your garden, when "strategically placed". That's what the auction description says. I never knew foxes prowled domestic gardens though. Hmm.
The Chessington World of Adventures auctioned a years supply of dungs of Sumatran tigers Batu (the big fella in picture) and Ratna. They even described the poop as "the new 'black gold’ in the gardening world".
I wonder if human pee has a market. There's gotta be! Just think of all those random drug tests. eBay, here I come!
Because this is a long code, I had to split it into three parts. Copy the above code in red first, paste it on your browser's address bar; copy the one in blue and paste it next to the already pasted code in the address bar; and finally copy the one in black, paste it beside the other two and hit "go". It works differently in IE and Firefox. Haven't tried it on Opera, and not-so-famous browsers. If you do try this on other browsers, let me know how it works.
So Microsoft is launching an iPod + iTunes knock off, with a couple of exceptions before Christmas. This knock off is called Zune, which comes with a Zune media player (which works like iTunes, complete with a music library, playlists and online music and video purchasing). First of the two exceptions, the Zune wireless technology allows users to share songs, photos and playlists between devices. A user can listen to any song they recieve upto three times in three days. They must purchase it after that if they want to continue listening. Another exception, the Zune devices will come preloaded with content from some major record labels (which mostly produce sucky music) such as EMI, TS, Sub Pop Records, Virgin Records etc.
It is probably not correct to call it a "knock off", because it will probably be pricey like Windows Vista. Looks like Billy doesn't want to stop even after crossing the $ 50 Billion mark. In other tech news, PC World released a list of "The 25 worst Web Sites" list containing scam sites to dot-com's that are just plain stupid. Some of the sites on that list would make you raise an eyebrow, though. Check it out here.
I came across a creepy video on PhotoBucket.com. The guy behind the camera is taking some shots of the top of a building, slowly bringing down the focus to ground level. He then finds someone's head peeping, tries to follow it... only to find whatever it was, has disappeared. Looks ghost-like. It could be fake. I really can't tell, because the whole thing is pixelated. Check it out here, and conclude yourself.
For quite a while, this LonelyGirl15 chick on YouTube had people fooled into believing her stories (vlogs or video blogs) were real. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then check out the entry in Wikipedia. It is quite interesting, especially if you're really bored to death and in need of something exciting. I never knew there were so many gullible people on the internet. And this guy here, LaSlut makes a very valid point. I couldn't have put it better myself. Also, check out LonelyGirl15's vlogs here. Pretty face. This is exciting shit, if you're a moron (and a pervert) like me.
Kimberley Moody Alexander, a schoolteacher from Columbia, SC was caught "getting hot" with a 14 year old boy over the weekend. She is a second grade teacher. What a sick pedo. The school district says Alexander is still an employee. They will not say if there is any disciplinary action against her, saying it's a personnel matter.
Kids, stay at home until teachy gets sacked... unless you want a Michael Jackson experience. In other news, Britney Spears and K-Fed had their second child, a boy. I wonder what would happen when her kids come to know that everyone calls their mom a slut. Hmm.
It's a known fact that four out of five flicks cause nausea, vomitting and headache. But there are movies that can cause severe iwanttokickthedirectorsballsgitis. Here are some of the WORST movies I've ever seen (in no specific order), and could probably make it to an all-time list of worst flicks.
Dude, Where's My Car?: A movie with silly humor and a really boring plot. This movie has stereotype humor. But then again, I have no morals and will laugh at anything. I'm used to silly teen humor, but this one is just.... too silly for me to accept it. I saw this movie when I was 14 something, liked it... saw it again a few days ago, and I'd rather not say what happened then. So one can safely conclude this movie is for teeny boppers.
The Medallion: Another stereotypical Jackie Chan movie, where he plays a cop from Hong Kong. He goes to way too much trouble to protect a broze medallion. This one is only for Claire Forlani fans who'd pay to watch her drink a cup of coffee.
2 Fast 2 Furious: WTF. Is this even a movie? Souped up cars racing one another in the beginning, I had a feeling the director was a Need For Speed fan. It has way too much emphasis on the cars than on the actual plot, I feel. The only good part of this movie is Eva Mendes' boobs.
Phantoms: Ben Affleck stars in another bomber of a movie. This is supposedly a horror movie, but even a 5 year old would guess what's going to happen next in the storyline. The two chicks, Rose McGowan and Joanna Going arrive at the conclusion as to why the town they arrive at is deserted, and thus diffusing all mystery and tension. The "creature" just pops out of nowhere in the middle of the movie. This movie looks like some bad adaptation of a sci-fi/horror novel.
Exorcist: The Beginning: An excuse for a horror movie. All it has are cheap thrills,like sudden sound, gore, shock etc. It is nothing compared to its predecessor. This movie is as scary as Paris Hilton without makeup... a few shocks, but you knew it was coming.
Face/Off: Probably one of the worst action flicks in history. We're actually supposed to believe Nicholas Cage and John Travolta change their faces through a complicated surgery so as to look like one another. I wonder how the Hong Kong cheapie, John Woo managed to fool Hollywood into taking this movie seriously.
Godzilla: Perhaps a Jurassic Park influenced movie. The director should have known that even 5 year olds are not interested in plastic lizards that breathe fire anymore. But nonetheless he went on to make this crappy movie. The funniest part is where they actually hint on a "part two" of Godzilla at the end.
New York Minute: I don't even know how I ended up watching this movie. Maybe because it starred Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. But this movie isn't worth seeing, even for these lovely (now anorexic) chicks. As I had to keep my eyes open with toothpicks, I can only remember this movie was mind-numbingly boring.
Hercules in New York: What do you get when you ask Arnold Schwarzenegger to act in a comedy flick? That's right, an unmitigated disaster. A chariot race down Broadway, A fight with a hilariously fake bear in the park, in which his screaming girlfriend looks at the camera very blatantly; A weightlifting competition with a "Monstro the Magnificent"... all to the sound of silly Greek wedding music... probably the goofiest movie ever made in the 70's.
House Of The Dead: Supposed to be a horror movie, turned out to be a comedy of errors. There are so many goof-ups in the movie, this movie makes 'Exorcist: The Beginning' look pretty good. There are so many goof-ups, its not possible to list them all here. Click here to see all the hilarious goofs this film and its crew made. This flick is worth watching for its goof-ups alone, nothing else.
It's pretty funny how I stumbled across this today, being five years after 9/11. This is one of the major drawbacks of contextual advertising. Amazon.com better do something about how their ad's get displayed, or they'd have to face some embarassing results like this one.
On a different note, here's a tribute to the 9/11 victims... and a big FUCK YOU to whoever did it.
Just like you, I always thought using invisible technorati tags was a good idea since the reader(s) wouldn't be clicking the tag link and thus, leaving the blog (which I really don't want to happen, 'cause I want the reader to stay on your page as long as possible). So I used to do the good old invisible technorati tag, like so: <a href="http://technorati.com/tagname" rel="tag"></a>, leaving out "tagname", which could be any tag. Wise indeed. But for one, the Technorati people don't like it when their tags are hidden. They may tweak things to penalise those who leave out link text for tags by refusing to index their posts properly (it has probably happened already). Two, google and other search engines stop indexing your (and my) pages, thinking we're some kind of spammers. That's not all. There is a third reason why you shouldn't do it. Read on and find out what it is, and the possible ways to get around it.
So, you made it till here. Good. Okay, straight to the point. The third reason is, Blogger marks your blog as a "spam blog". You don't want that happening because you'd be losing potential traffic to your blog from the "next blog »" link at the top, in the blogger navbar. Blogger automatically prevents your blog from appearing when someone clicks the "next blog »" link, when your blog is identified as a spam blog. Another possible thing, technorati probably stops pinging your blog (if you've set it to automatic) and if you manually ping your blog, it takes its own time to update it. For eg. if you blogged about Lindsay Lohan's boobs today, add 543657 invisible tags and then manually ping your blog, technorati will only update it after a day or two. I'm not sure about this though, I'd like some citing source on this, if available. Whenever I pinged my blog with invisible tags, it wouldn't get updated for atleast 20+ hours, so I'm guessing it is a possible fourth reason.
Now, the how to's to get around this. There are two ways I know of to get around this. Both of them use CSS. The first method uses a CSS selector to hide the technorati tags. Paste the following code between the <style> and </style> in your template.
.invisible { display:none; }
While tagging your blog post(s), simply add a 'class="invisible"' to the technorati tag you copy-paste. For eg. <a href="http://www.tecnorati.com/Lindsay+Lohan's+Boobs" rel="tag" class="invisible">Lindsay Lohan's Boobs</a>
The next method does not actually hide the link, but makes it look as if the technorati tag is part of your blog post by changing the link to resemble the text color of your blog. If you didn't understand that, don't panic. Let me show you an example, 'cause examples are neat.
First, add a a.technorati { color:black; text-decoration:none }
in between the <style> and </style> part of your template. Make sure color matches the color of the font you are using for your blog text. Now, that would look like this in a sentence:
...have you seen <a href="http://www.technorati.com/Lindsay+Lohan's+Boobs" rel="tag" class="technorati">Lindsay Lohan's boobs</a>? They are sexy!
Because you added a class="technorati", the link actually appears like normal text. But this method requires you be a little creative in choosing your tags, and smartly adding them in the right places (instead of adding them at one place, mostly at the bottom after the blog post) so it would appear as part of a sentence. If you're too lazy to think, the first method would do just fine. But I can't guarantee your blog would not still be marked as a spam blog. It depends on whether the technorati and Blogger bots read your formatted page, or the page source code. I actually prefer displaying the technorati tags from now on, in small text links under each post. Any doubts, comments, ideas? Found errors in this post? Feel free to comment and let me know.

What the fuck happened to the "stepped-up" security in the state? Almost 10 bomb blasts (Bombay + Malegaon) in a period of two months. 38 people have died so far and 100's injured (in Malegaon). This time, the terrorist morons targeted a Muslim temple, believing they would think the Hindus did it, and eventually leading to Hindu-Muslim riots (thats what they want ultimately, isn't it?). Oh no you fucktards, we aren't THAT stupid.
But that's besides the point. What is the security team doing? Everytime there is a bomb blast, the Government says the stereotypical "It was a cowardly act". And they deploy a security team and an "Anti-Terrorist team" to investigate the blasts. During this time, every other state in the country steps up the security, and innocent people are bugged to open their luggages in airports, train stations and even shopping malls. It's fodder for the media, which hypes up the whole story. People start talking about it as if they were actually present at the site of the blast. It goes on for about a week or two at the maximum. Then, everyone gets too involved in their own worlds that it would appear as if the bomb blasts never even happened.
All this while, the terrorists enjoy the whole drama... from the Government's reaction to the people's idoicy. After a few months, when the people concerned with security start to take it easy and relax, its time for another blast. It's a vicious circle. People need to grow up, become socially concious and the Government, mature to put an immediate end to this madness. BUT... I don't see that happening soon, so we can expect the same old story happening for a few more years (I don't mean to be pessimistic, but thats the ugly truth).
This one Australian born feminist, Germaine Greer (author of 'Female Eunuch') said that she hoped the death of Aussie "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin would mark the end of "exploitative nature documentaries". In short, she is trying to say Steve was a disgrace and harassed animals. The dumbass wouldn't stop there. She also said that anyone who mourns Steve's death is an idiot. WHAT THE FUCK, CHUCK?!?! People like this should be locked away in a mental asylum.
The real disgrace here is not Steve, but this moron feminist. She is using someone's death to gain cheap publicity. No one cares what her personal opinions of someone are, but shouldn't she be having some fucking respect for his passing and his family? No, instead she spews some dumbass comment to get publicity. “The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin, ... millionaire, animal-loving zoo-owner in their turn” she said.
...........
I hope a crocodile swallows this bitch in revenge for her stupid comments on Steve.
This one just in. Great news for Hilton haters. The heiress has been arrested in Hollywood for drunk driving. I think she was sad after being denied access to the bungalow 8 party, and got drunk. Anyway, the police pulled her Mercedes McLaren SLR over for an intoxication test, which she failed. Of all the good things the cops have done, this has to be one of the best. Atleast, thats what the Hilton haters would say . Oh well, its nothing the heiress can't afford for a fine.
UPDATES:
Paris' spokeswoman has said that the police detected the minimum blood-alcohol level (0.08% in California) to warrant the arrest.
Paris' spokeswoman gives an excuse saying, "it probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued". (Yeah right)
Hilton would be unlikely to face jail time if she is convicted of a first offense.
The mandatory minumum punishment is 36 to 60 months of probation and $ 390 fine which could shoot upto $ 1,300 with penalties.
The heiress would be ordered to enter an alocohol education program. If she refused, she would have to spend 24-48 hours in jail and her car impounded for a month.
The spokesman of the attorney office, Nick Velasquez said. "The city attorney's office will handle this case in the same manner it will handle any case". Which means the 25 year old lazy bum of a "heiress" cannot get out of this using her wealth.
Thats right. Everyone is talking about it. Even the media, which would rather cover bullshit news instead of the REAL deal, is talking about it. And when sane people get frustrated about it and let out some steam, saying "its just another goddamn baby, whats the big hype?! He either exists or doesn't exist, now STFU and gimme real news", Katie goes "It's really frustrating [with] the amount of shit that's out there. And the stuff they say about Suri?! You shouldn't say that about us, and you can't say that about my child." Okay, let me tell you something... You're the one who "hid" your precious little baby from the public, for some strange reason. Obviously, it will be talked about.
I don't think there are a lot of sane celebrities left. In a few years, I'm pretty sure the word celebrity would become an antonym of the word sane. Bleh.
(Special thanks to Lizze for informing me about this funny news :D)
A British Graffiti artist named Banksy has messed with 500 copies of Paris Hilton's debut album, replacing it with his own versions of remixes. He has given them titles such as "What Am I For?", "What Have I Done?" and "Why Am I Famous?"
He has also doctored the cover sleeve to show the heiress topless with a dog's face. "He switched the CDs in store, so he took the old ones out and put his version in," said Jo Brooks, a spokeswoman for Banksy. This British based artist is also famous for sneaking his own paintings into walls of world famous museums such as London's Tate Britain and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Banksy's version of Paris ended up in stores such as 48 HMV, Virgin Megastore and indie record stores across Britain. Danger Mouse (Gnarles Barkley, Gorillaz) is said to have done all the remixes. "No customers have complained or returned the doctored versions," said a spokesman for HMV. In other news, Italian defender, Marco Materazzi has admitted to have insulted Zidane's sister. And I've named my pee pee Rubber Johnny, after the scary short movie I saw yesterday. Say hello to the hot chicks, RJ.
It's almost midnight, and I'm sitting here in the dark. Of all the time to come across this motherfucker. That scared the shit out of me, though I eventually found out it wasn't real. Seriously now, I have no words to describe that "shiznit". Go see for yourself. And for the curious reader, check out the Wikipedia entry about it.
Thats about it for today (night). I hope I don't have nightmares about it
What do you get when a country's Government -- which is the biggest manufacturer of tobacco in that country -- starts an anti-smoking campaign? Nothing, really. Maybe some humor. This is exactly what the Japanese Government did. As part of this campaign, they put up a website of images, explaining why smoking can be harmful. A lot of them are extremely hilarious. Go check it out: "Smokers' style".
Jennifer Aniston, and a freelance photographer she sued for snapping her topless, have reached a "tit"-for-tat deal, they say. Aniston's attorney was funny, when he said, "It's a confidential settlement, the matter was amicably resolved."
Okay, I'm just fooling around. I love Aniston, she's really pretty. More on the titty issue here
So what else is new, 'cause she always makes squeaky music? This time it was in the Today show on Friday, to perform her second single from the new album, "A Public Affair". Of course, this time she had an excuse... she has a busted blood vessel that has "bruised" her vocal cords. "My voice is shot, I don't know if I had a screaming, crying or coughing attack, or a sneeze or what", she said after the incident.
Uh-huh. Sneezing attack indeed. Hope she isn't incontinent.
