I'm a guy who is damn obsessed with the so called, Rubik's Cube invented in 1974 by the Hungarian architect, Erno Rubik! I tried a lot to explore the reasons why I go behind such a plastic material even if I find my hand not in a form to run through its faces while I rush in the hurry to give it a solution. Now, its time to fuel up my mind. I'm no more a kid to play with the 3x3 dummy cube for new-bie's. Its high time to try some megaminix - but, that will be a name too heavy to fill my mouth. So, I've decided to get a brand new 4x4 cube from the same store, where I had got my 3x3 piece yester year.

Now, I wonder at how people solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I thought: "Let me Google that for myself.". When my fingers went through the keyboard twice I found the answer. I found Pochmann to find a solution. I was in desperate need for a person who would help me do it blindfolded. An online video tutorial came to my rescue and that taught me how to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I did not care to learn, because, there I found a lot of algorithms to memorize.

Recording the Timings using the Cube Timer, the other day I found my cube end up in a solved configuration in just 47 seconds which was my best over the days I had kicked the art of cubing.

Have I gone insane? Never, I guess! Couple of weeks back I registered for a domain name online. Firstly, I tried registering with GoDaddy - the DNS giant and after that I went for One.com. My attempts were in vain. But, Google came to my rescue introducing me to a different DNS provider. it is DynaDot.com.

What makes DynaDot different?

1. Easy-to-use in-built applications to help any newbie.
2. The registration process is too simple compared to that of GoDaddy, which tells us to fill up a number of forms. And, I got hackneyed!
3. The striking feature of DynaDot server is that, they do not want you to have a verified PayPal account. Instead, you can get a domain name using an unverified PayPal account. So, why not give it a try?
4. DynaDot won't load you with a number of registration forms and is purely legal.

There is another website which may help you with the same features. It is NameCheap.com!
The server is too quick as you can see. The page gets loaded in no time. 0.36s in my PC - with a broadband connection. Bandwidth : 2Mbps

Get your domain registered at the latest! :)

Long ago, I had tweeted about a plastic cube and now I've got a brand new cube with which I while away hours and hours. The other day I just placed an order for a cube online via eBay.com. Yesteryear, I for a good amount on my PayPal account for an SEO service rendered. I was searching for ways to shell it out. With that amount, I bought a new domain and also a cube about which I'm talking about right at the moment. I bought the brand new cube from Hong Kong and made the payment via PayPal. Let me share some tips and tricks which may help you to show off your cube solving talent before your friend. I'm a pretty good solver and I'm not bragging, which is to be noted :P

If you wanna try your hand at solving a Rubik's cube here are some tips you can make use of.
Go for a branded cube. There are many cubes available in the market. Many of us, go for the 25 INR cube or the one which costs just 50 INR. It is muck. The faces of the cube will never budge if you go for such a cube. Go for a cube whose cost ranges from 250INR to 4000INR. I think that, it is the most expensive Rubik's cube available in the Indian Market.

How to get a touch cube for reasonable price?
I got a touch cube for a reasonable price. You can move the faces of a cube in no time. Just touch one end, and then the move is made. I bought my cube, from a store via eBay.com! Visit the following link: http://ow.ly/1grfD

You can place the order for that cube, If you are from India you will get the cube at your doorstep in 15 days. Shipping is free and that is the most striking feature of this cube. I will say, Go for it!

I missed the twestival which was conducted there at Cochin this year for mallu's! Been so long since I've logged into Blogger to add a domain name. And, now I've done that! Here is the link. Why not take a look? GeekCumTechie .

So, let me tell you a very interesting story!
There are many techies and geeks out here in Kerala and a number of passionate blogger's. I took it by surprise when I heard that there are many unconference's conducted for such guys and the rules they've brought down on their official website is cool too: Rules (Rules? :P)

The meetings or unconferences they conduct are called Bar Camp's. But, it is called the same in a number of places round the globe. Here, in Bar Camp Kerala or BCK is the camp for techie's, with no one to supervise, no one to listen, with everyone networking with their laptop as seen. If you wanna register with them, go online and complete the registration process and there you are! You'll be invited for the next bar camp. I could not take part in the last camp conducted at MACFAST. Are you married to technology? So, see you there at the venue for BCK9.

Why didn't I take part in Bar Camp Kerala 8?
I thought to take part. But, what should I tell my dad? That thought flashed in my mind and I did not tell him about BCK. "Bar", "Camp" and etc... LoL! :)

Astounded of the crazy title!
Well, me too. The title is cool and what i am gonna tell too.
Do you have a twitter account?
If yes, it is high time to follow all the celebs right at a single place. Log on to Twitter.com.
Its the right place to get all the celebrities online. You can follow the tweets from Shah Rukh Khan, Gul Panag, Mallika Sherawat and Shashi Taroor. There are a number of followers following them and you too can join them.
Oops! I forgot to speak about the American Pres. Barack Obama. I think that the only one who is frequent to twitter and also posts his status promptly may be Obama. That is how i should tell. When ever i log in to my Twitter account i can find his tweets right there in my home page. I follow his tweets. You know what? It is indeed just a matter of fun to get the messages posted from the keyboard thousands and thousands of miles away from where i lie. Just a matter of fun.
Hey! I made another discovery. I hope that you know about the famous authorand a novelist i guess. She is Shobhaa De. Proudly i say that she is my friend on Facebook(I did send a request to be her friend. She didn't accept it!) Anyway, that is cool.

I lost my mobile yesterday. What to do? I think that it has got stolen. I wanna complaint and file an FIR in the local police station. But, i know that whatever i do will be in vain because the police pays no attention to such petty cases. Even you won't if you were one. We, just don't think about the heavy heart a guy like me will be having. If there are some online services available that won't be up and running for what purpose we want them to work for.
I tried raking the whole Google search widget. i found no websites or no articled related to this mobile lost case. There are many websites providing facilities to trace a SIM, but not a mobile. What a pathetic situation are we running through?
Everyone tell about the improvement in the technology. But, i have got to talk something about the distorted, technology of no-use. But...
The other day i heard about an app which enables us to trace out a lost mobile. It is a mobile tracking software as you know. That is what i want. If we install that software into our mobile you can trace it out where ever it is. But, i don't think that. That is what the owners claim but will avail to nothing. Do you think that such soft wares are gonna work fine? If yes mail me.

Well, today i will talk about the URL redirection. This can be used if you have got a very big link. For example, if you have a blog and if its name is thisisthemostboringblogintheworld.blogspot.com. This is indeed big and there is a bit of problem faced by the one who types this into their address bar. That is too big a task. I don't like it. First of all, it takes some time for me to type it(Just kidding! -I should have some reasons!). But, anyway i hate it. Do you? If you have the condition with your blog or your website. Then you can try these URL Redirection services provided by many websites like is.gd and notlong.com. These are just some websites. There are many more. They are too good and useful.

Some of the websites that provide this service are:

1. LinkX.in: I use it for many of my blogs. You know what? This is just one blog of mine. I have got many blogs, i use these services. I like it. Else the one who is gonna type it in will fall in to great trouble and i won't get even a little number of visitors. Do you want to create your own link and after that wanna get your link shortened?
2. There is another website named Notlong.com. Most of the links i get into my Email ID Inbox has got the link shortened using their service. This service is not as quick as the other one. So their performance is a bit down. But, still it has got its on positives. Taking in to consideration the nitty gritties we can find that the first one is better and the best. That is why i have named it the foremost one.
3. The other one for URL redirection is Is.gd. Log on to that website and get the shortest URL ever on the web. It is the best one and the shortened URL ever.
   

Try them and then rock on with the most trusted plan ever!
