Affinity with friends

Filed under: Links — Ankur Aggarwal @ 1:17 pm

If you use gmail and always wanted to know how close you are with a particular friend, use
http://docs.google.com/data/contacts

I am still finding a link where google based on your searches, websites you go to, documents you read, emails you send, orkut interactions etc. has prepared a psychological profile of you. I am sure it is there somewhere… i just need to find it.

open source programs for windows

Filed under: Links — Ankur Aggarwal @ 6:16 am

This website contains a comprehensive list of open source windows applications. I hope it saves some license fee for some of us.

If you ever felt the need of having a centralized management of documents. A database with CVS repository like versioning system so that each individual can track down the changes/flow of thoughts by looking at the line additions/deltions only then pbwiki.com is your way.
PS: Although it gives only 10mb of space which looks small, in reality 1a4 page of text document costs just 2kb of space. So you can practically write a book of 5000 pages in this much space.

For image/movies/clip hosting photobucket is the way.

Then definatately do not read this article

The probability of people surviving an aerial mishap is miniscule. And please do not even think about lightning bolts, meteorite showers.

Red-Bull contains Beef

Filed under: Links, News — Ankur Aggarwal @ 11:37 am

How did Red bull get its name?
The active ingredient in Red-bull and most energy drinks is Taurine C2H7NO3S which is extracted from the bile juices of mammals esp. Bulls. (Latin taurus = bull) I hate to break this news to my vegeterian friend who is hooked to this drink.

Online Travel bookings

Filed under: Links, Travel — Ankur Aggarwal @ 11:15 am

I tried to make a list of options avaliable
1) indiflight A nice tool which allows you to find cheepest flight to multiple destinations, on multipe days and using break journeys.
2) makemytrip Huge publicity, but it charges extra for credit card bookings.
3) rediff good plotting tools, fast site.
4) flightraja fast flight, with a persoanl touch. The agents actually call you to confirm the bookings

Then to book international travel tickets:
Stic travels is specially useful. They get the best discounts, yet ensure hassle free luxurious travel.

Bus tickets use redbus. It has a very fast query engine. However its services are limited to Chennai / Bangalore originating routes and does not support KSRTC/government operators.

For train travel, I guess one has not much choice but to go for irctc. Even though it is the only govt body in my list, the service is good. Tickets get delivered in time. However the user interface needs lots of upgradation.
