Microchip and stray cows

With 40,000 cows straying on the roads of Delhi, the local municipal corporation had announced that anyone bringing a stray cow would be awarded a handsome sum in cash. These cows would then be sold to new owners thereby ridding the streets of the hazards these cows cause

But fearing that the same cow would be again turned in for the easy money involved , the authorities have had to resort to a microchip in the cow's gut to tell them about a cow already brought in.

Gmail Chat Disabled

The fact that it happened does not surprise me but that it took so long for our network administrators to figure it out does. And if you are wondering how do you disable Gmail's chat features on your network, you only need locking DNS lookups to chatenabled.mail.google.com , by returning 127.0.0.1 .

Firefox Extension for coComment!

I have put up the Firefox Extension for coComment! I and a few friends have been using it for a day now and it seems to work fine! Download coComment! for Firefox coComment! for Firefox allows you to coComment! from the right-click context menu and is of great help especially when commenting in a pop-up window where you can't access your bookmarks. Also, with this extension you will not have to move from the comment area to your bookmarks to click the 'bookmarklet' and then back, before you click the submit button on the blog. With this extension, you can directly move on to the submit button after writing the comment and merely hit the right click 'activating' coComment before submitting the post. Simple Fitts' law and it makes your browsing experience a great deal better and faster. Let me know what you think of it!
