The tale of the fired

The recipients of the pink slip now have a site of their own- simplyfired.com featuring stories of those who have been laid off. The most prominent being the the Mark Jen Story, the fired Google employee of ninety nine zeroes fame.

The site is also running the Simply Fired Contest where the the story of your being fired or laid off could fetch you prizes such as a week-long trip to the Caribbean, an Apple iPod Shuffle, or a SimplyFired t-shirt.

A must-visit-website for all. No one teaches you about how not to get fired from your job! Too lazy? Subscribe to the fired feed!

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 .

Pottermania

I'll have to admit that the nature of Pottermania is beyond my comprehension capabilities! As more and more fans of all ages and countries immerse themselves in Harry’s adventures, adding fuel to the belief that Pottermania is inescapable, I am purely and simply baffled by its ability to appeal to all ages. Bored by the inactivity prevailing in this muggle world, I began to read the first one of the series and immediately concluded that reading beyond the tenth leaf was something impossible. Undeterred, I watched the first movie. I Hated it. But with the evil-wizard becoming apple of more and more eyes with every passing moment, around the world, it could only have been something wrong with me and so I watched the second movie. And then it became so easy to establish that I loathed the Potter Kid! Just a passing thought - "Would it be a bad idea for a Potter special appearance in Oliver Twist? The poor kid could do with some wizardry."
