The world around me... some wandering thoughts

It's New year in one week....crazy Tennis fans in the country can look forward to the only ATP tournament of South Asia. Its' returning back to Chennai.....once Gold Flake Open ....then Tata Open and now aptly named "Chennai Open". Chennai has hosted this tournament for the past eight yrs but...it's been not sure after last year's tournament whether Chennai will hold on ATP tournament with it or not. And now it's made sure Chennai, with pride, will host the nation's biggest Tennis tournament till 2009. It's goin to be festival time again for Tennis lovers here in the city from 3rd of Jan till 9th of Jan 2005. Music, Dance....and now Tennis it's really an njoyable life in Chennai .

Google Select ......I'm curious how they are doin it. Google Suggest returns suggested results as you type .....this is technically amazing. Even if I type pretty fast it gets updated for every single keypress......brilliant folks in Google wrote all these innovative code. I just wanted to undersand the web interface and it's dynamic interface behind this. I surfed the net and got little more informations. This live search has been implemented some time back in Apples' Spotlight feature. Apple might had inspired Google. I walked through Google's code & script. They are using XMLHttpRequest to send request to the server where they are havin the script which returns a HTML file. Event though this is someones innovation it's Google who first implemented it. Once Google meant only a search engine ...now a lot more frm them.... Gmail, Desktop search tool, Google Suggest.....when are they goin to stop(???). I read today morning in a daily MS and Yahoo are busily enag

Being impressed by lots of blog sites, it's my wish for nearly 6 months to create a blog. Due to hectic work for a long time I was unable to do it and now (5.45 PM IST, 25th November 2004 ) atlast I debut here as a blogger. I'm a Software Engineer by profession, working in web based technologies and Client server technologies. I luv surfing the net..my favorite time pass. I wish internet, the boon to the mankind, should be used in a very valuable manner, which I always want to do. At some moments I was unable to share certain things with friends and others. It may be due to heavy workloads. I take this opportunity to publish my thoughts over here. Right now I don't know wat are all I'm goin to blog ...but I'm sure I'll do a better job here. Happy bloggin'
