The Helpful Web

In the modern age, probably what we use more than MasterCard is the Internet! For everything else, there is Mastercard, remember?

Jokes apart, the internet is turning into a medium that can be used to virtually we can think of. One such aspect of the internet is e-shopping. I want to today, speak about my experiences of e-shopping, the awesomeness of it and the not-so-obvious bottlenecks.

Consider a website like paytm.com, where we can recharge our mobile phones, book bus tickets, prepay DTH and what not! Flipkart.com is another site which offers facilities to buy stuff online and have them delivered to your home, in most cases, at no extra cost. Florist.com is a website that delivers flowers right down to your crush's house!

[OFF] How I almost screwed Directi

Been over a year since I have felt this good. Yeah, precise, and to the point!

Being ditched was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Probably, this fills me up with a sense of redemption rather than some achievement.

People ask Does Linux Pay? Today, I would say it does!

Viewing 3D Videos on Linux

Cometh the new millenium and cometh a flurry of 3D Videos! To cope up, we need get ourselves geared up to watch them.

Now, I cannot help you with buying 3D Goggles for watching these videos but surely I can help you setup your system for that! Now first things first. There is a huge lack of stereoscopic video players in linux, the ones that play SBS (Side by Side) Videos for example. Now, these videos can be broken down into images and recombined (after combining 2 pictures together) to get the desired 3D video output through any video encoder like mencoder or ffmpeg.

[OFF] Life as a PostGrad student

Got my first chance here... after a long time I guess!

After coming here I realized, there was a lot more to life and what I had missed. It wasn't such a bad decision to ditch Cognizant and Infosys after all! (On the hindsight, that would have been so much easier).
