BANDH!!!


Dr. Ambedkar statue vandalised in Kanpur. Dalits start stone pelting in Mumbai. The very next day, they declare so called Bandh. School children going back to home early, shopkeepers shutting the shutters in the morning, busses are stopped on the road, rickshaws are parked in the corner of the streets….

And policemen are…. I have no idea what they are doing…

It is really sad that, in India, any political goons can call a Bandh and our protectors (Policemen) can’t do anything.

God, save our country.

Update:

Dalits on the street of Mulund, carrying metal rods and shouting slogans. (Images)

So, who are these cricketers?


I still don’t understand why Indian cricket team selectors select actors for our cricket team? We really do not want bunch of fools who show up in every other ads on the TV and at the time of their real job, they act like dumb *****

IE7 and CSS


It took me quite sometime to fix few things in IE7. Earlier I used to use * html for conditional CSS in IE. But unfortunately it does not work in IE7.

But for IE7, you can use conditional comments for your CSS fixes specific to IE7.

You can use following code in the header of your html file:

<!–[if IE 7]><link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”/styles_ie7.css” /><![endif]–>

In this specific file, you have to put only IE7 specific id and class definitions. IE7 will automatically overwrite the old definitions with new one.

What happens when…


What happens when you have….

My xbox 360

 

something you have been dreaming for 1 year, something you have been dying to play, something for which you spent 750 bucks..and still you can’t play it.

Well, talking about my XBOX 360 console which I got from US (a close friend brought it here). I am waiting for step down voltage converter to arrive so that I can plug-in US based power supply (110V) to it and enjoy the game.

Now, you must be wondering why the hell 750 USD for USD 399 game.

Well, this is what I got in USD 750

  • XBOX 360 PRO Console - USD 399
  • 1 Wireless Controller – USD 50
  • 3 Game CDS – USD 180
  • Rest US local tax and etc.. etc..

It is just really strange feeling when you can’t play it and all you can do is, stare at this bloody beauty…

Run IE6 and 7 together on the same machine


Okay, this might be useless for normal users but this will be very helpful for the designers and HTML coders who always want their site to look perfect in most of the browsers. This recent update of IE6 to IE7 broke few things which made some sites look different in both the browsers.

So, now the question comes in mind is “how to check our site in both the versions of the browser?”

Well, it is possible. This might not be a new thing for few people but I am sure this is going to help someone here.

You can install standalone versions of IE on your machine. If you have already installed IE7 and want to install previous versions of IE, you can get standalone version from here or if you have IE6 on your machine and wish to install IE7 too (keeping IE6 intact) then you can download standalone version of IE7 from here.

I just installed IE6 standalone version on my machine and it really made my testing job lot more easier.
