How to use Vim with Firefox
If you’re a Vim user like me, you would’ve wished many a time that you could use Vim to edit text in Firefox. Too bad, the Mozex extension doesn’t work anymore. Thanks to Samuel Wright, I have now discovered another way to achieve the same – using the ViewSourceWith extension. I have put up the […]
Marathon postponed
The Bangalore Marathon has been postponed from May 14 to September, 2006. This is so disappointing. I had not participated in last year’s marathon because I wasn’t fit for it, but I had made up my mind to participate this year. So, I’ve been training with a couple of friends.

I remember his old black and white Kannada movies, especially the ones where he plays the CID investigator… those were such wonderful movies, they had a real story, amazing acting and such pleasant simple songs. No Kannadiga can ever […]
Malaysia Day 1
Finally, I’m getting around to writing about my Malaysia trip… About six months ago, my cousins and myself had been to Talkad to show the beach to the youngest of the cousins (< 10 years old), and during the journey, I planted the idea of watching a Formula 1 Grand Prix, live, in my cousin’s […]
