Advertisement: Girl Child

Recently, friend send me following ad:

Don't Abort Girl Child

The ad is in english. Majority of India's population does not understand english. I really wonder for whom exactly this ad was created.

Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, Nobody...

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done

Which features would I like in Google's Picasa and/or picasaweb?

(Quick list)
- Batch resize (requested by Omkar). Features available in ImageMagick are welcome.
- Should have stats per album and per photo
- List of people who visited the photos
- Per user invitation key which can be used only by that user (this will be applicable to google account users only)
- Collection of albums feature available in Flickr
- ACLs per photo, per album, per user. Nice to have: control over downloading the album and photo resolution for each user.

Heyy Baby ... Making of title song ... Raman with Shankar Ehsan Loy

After many years of continuous focus & hard work … finally the day has come… when my friend’s first bollywood stunt is out in the market…

The film is called “Heyy Babyy” … “Raman” has sung the title song along with other two singers. This is great moment in our life; his patience paid off!

You can check out the teaser of the song @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TapVeL4mcyI and the making of the song on @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DF4-F9y9EA

Very soon, we will release his album… composition… @ www.soundbuzz.com

Let me know your review...

Automatically configuring --hash style

In recent enough binutils, GNU ld supports a new option --hash-style. When set to 'gnu', it produces a new section which has hash for each symbol name and the runtime link phase uses this hash information for comparing symbols.

Obviously for C++ programs/libraries, where symbol names are often very long due to namespace usage, this is a boon as it cuts off the loading time, claimed to be around 50%.

For backwards compatibility, one can always use 'both' as value for the option.
