The Ainz YearsAye Carumba :: Of the life and times of Me :: PEOPLE PLEASE DON'T COPY STUFF WITHOUT PERMISSION :: JUST ASK ONCE !! ::
October 18 The Last BlogLet it be known that it is on this day, 18th October 2006, that his Royal Highness Prince Ainz of Ainzania (author of the blog and master of this space), has declared this blog as 'ex' and directs you to visit the new home of The Ainz Years on Blogger.
Yea ! I'mmmmm mooovin ! I can't believe Microsoft is that arrogant !! Only registered MSN users can leave comments on MSN Live Spaces ! What the heck is that about ?!?!?! Ever heard of compatibility ?!?!?! Check it out ! Its a GOOD thing !! Besides, Spaces isn't even that popular ! Another great example of how Microsoft arm twists people into using 'just' their stuff !! Well good luck with that cause I'm OUTTA HERE !! I love this space.... its very personal... and its got amazing tools (even better than blogger), but I cannot survive in a restricted enviornment ! I have taken all my blogs and comments with me. This space will remain active but I don't think I'll be writing anything here anymore.
I just hope that someday someone wakes up at Microsoft and realises what a jack-ass policy this is and removes it ! If that day shall come in my time then I would love to return ! But... unforunately... Microsoft doesn't have that sort of a mindset !! Selfish bastards !! Anyhow... I'm signing off from here and taking control of my new address on Blogger !! I'll see you people around there... and as for you my space.... LIVE LONG AND PROSPER !! :-D
The new address of my blog is http://theainzyears.blogspot.com Damn Microsoft !So... its true... I had been told by Kartik... and today... I know for sure... One CANNOT post comments on MSN Live Spaces if he/she doesn't have a MSN id !! Therefore... only people with accounts on MSN can leave comments on my blog.... and since I know that MSN Live Spaces isn't very popular, this dumb Microsoft rule is restricting a lotta people from leaing any comments here...
I tried to get around it a lot today but.... I guess there isn't a way... yet. But what the hell... Screw them... I've had an un-used Blogger account for almost two years now and I'll move into that ! Just gotta figure out how to take all my blogs with me... Hmm... I am also going to delay my posts and only put up something new on Blogger now...
Setting up now... hope to be back in action soon !! October 12 Stop whining !Lately, the popular Google owned networking site Orkut, has been getting a lot of attention in the Indian press. The reason ? Well, there exist some 'communities' on that site that are spreading hate against India. There are a number of communities that even have their names as 'I Hate India'. Well... anyone who regularly uses Orkut (like myself) will not be suprised by this. Infact, we regularly keep getting posts and messages from fellow Indians giving links of such communities so that we can 'report them as bogus' (Orkut provides that option). Now it seems some hot-blooded and extremely patriotic Indian has launched a complain with the Aurangabad high court asking them to do something about it. Maybe block those communities or ask Google to delete them or maybe even block Orkut from India. Hmmm... to that person, I'd like to ask... WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ?!?!?! CAN'T YOU FIGHT A BATTLE WITHOUT RUNNING TO YOUR MOMMY TO HELP YOU OUT ?!?!
Geeezz ! Thats the fuckin problem with us Indians ! We'd rather avoid the problem than face it ! Asking the High Court just shows that we are losers and cannot handle a few punks online. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ? ALL INDIANS TO BE LABELED AS LOSERS AND CRY BABIES ?!?! Come on now ! Everyone knows that if there are 'I Hate India' communities then there also are 'I Hate Pakistan' comminities being run by Indians ! But we don't see the Pakistanis crying and running to their courts ! If you are so hurt by them, then report them as bogus or complain to Google personally or fight them from within ! YEA ! THATS RIGHT ! Lemme tell you how....
A few weeks ago, I got a link for a 'I Hate India' community and the sender asked me to report it as bogus. I clicked on the link and went on to the main page. Before reporting, I wanted to see what rubbish 'those' Pakistanis were writing against us. I checked out their various threads and you know what... I WAS FUCKIN SUPRISED ! It wasn't a 'I Hate India' community at all ! It had been hijacked by a number of Indian Orkut users and they were all flooding it with pro-India slogans ! Infact, if any anti-India posts were made there would be 10 pro-India posts for it ! It was amazing ! Only the name had 'hate' for India... everywhere else... it was totally pro-India ! I was so inspired ! Thats the way to do it ! THATS HOW YOU FIGHT BACK ! Our fellow citizens went to the root of the problem and destroyed its very core ! I didn't haveta report it as bogus ! There was no need !
So the next time someone sends you a link to a hate site, think about this method ! Defeat them at their turf and only then will you get the sweet sweet taste of victory ! If you keep crying foul and running to the courts then you are just making us weak ! And let me tell you this, if Orkut is blocked from India, then the biggest losers will be us Indians ! Indians are the third biggest group of users on that site ! Blocking it (or those communities) will not make them go away ! They will still exist and keep on making fun of us ! If you want them to shut down then fight them and destroy them ! Lets face our problems ! I would like to request Google and Orkut to let the communities be... we'll take care of them ourselves ! Just the collective farts of our billion citizens will be enough to blow them all away !! :-p
October 11 Aaarrgghh ! I be tagged !Tagged by Kartik
It should be noted that I am extremely unhappy with my job and office right now and so a little part of my frustration might actually show up here.
What is the best thing about my workplace ?
Free high speed Internet. Thats it. I bring my Lappy along... plug it in... and surf all day long. (I am supposed to work, but now, I have very successfully learnt the art of looking busy !)
What do I hate about my workplace ?
Its in the next fuckin state ! I haveta drive about 80 kms everyday (coming and going). Not to mention 70% of my income actually goes into the fuel to reach work !
What small irritants at the workplace really annoy me ?
Passing the buck, in work or blame. No matter who screws up, in the end, if you arn't loud enough defending yourself, you'll be blamed ! And also the way people say double meaning things to point fingers at you ! AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH !!!!
Describe the actions/quirks of the weirdest person I work with (can be a co-worker, employer, or a vendor if you are self employed)
There is this one dude who refuses to wash his hands everytime he uses the loo ! I've seen him wag his thing, zip up and walk out ! I mean, the wash basin is like a feet away ! USE IT YOU DIRTY BASTARD !
(I've got a mild case of cleaniness disorder) What is one thing that I would change at my workplace to make life a helluva lot better?
Make myself the BOSS ! I'd fire all the losers who know nothing and make the most noise ! Anything less than that is still a pain in the ass !
Pick five songs that I'd like played at my funeral......
Hmmm... I've given this a lot of thought and couldn't really come up with anything. Also I don't think there are many songs that would be worthy enough to be played at 'my' funeral ! :-p So, I think i'd rather like to go with just music. So lets see....
1. Theme of The Truman Show
2. Theme of Apollo 13
3. Theme of Saving Private Ryan
4. An original composition by Hans Zimmer (composed to honour me)
5. An original composition by A.R. Rehman (again, in my honour)
Accompanying this I would also like, a 189 gun salute and detonation of a nuclear warhead (to dig the hole for my grave), all syncronised with the music !
October 08 Of Evolution, Intelligent Design and The New Earth CreationistsPeople might think i'm obsessed with religion and religion vs. science arguments. But there are some things that I just need to get out of my system !
A few days ago, I did a bit of reading about the great debate on the 'origins' of earth and human beings (evolution vs. intelligent design) and well, I think it cannot get anymore dummer than this ! I mean some parents are actually insisting that 'Intelligent Design' be taught in 'Science' classes in school ! Science classes ?? What the hell does science haveta do with Intelligent Design ?? Infact what does 'schooling' haveta do with intelligent design ? Evolution is taught because it is a part of out presently accept notions in science. Intelligent design is nothing of that sort ! Then how does it merit the status of being taught in school ? If you want to teach 'your' kids that Darwin was wrong and that 'God' actually did it all, then take him/her to your helpful family priest ! Or tell him/her that yourself ! But why are you insisting on shoving 'this' down everyone else's throats too ?? Just imagine... on one hand teaching an entire generation of kids about evolution and how we evolved from monkeys and on the other hand telling 'em that thats all crap and 'God' intended us to be this way and hence we are ! Those poor kids won't know what hit them ! Now I believe in 'live and let live', but when things start getting screwed up on a larger scale then it really pisses me off ! I cannot imagine my kids ever learning about 'Intelligent Design' in school and then actually pretending that it has anything to do with science.
Personally I believe in evolution. It is the most likely explanation and a lot of evidence over the last couple of hundred years has pointed towards it being correct. But, I'll also grant that widely accepted science theories in the past have also failed at times and have been replaced by a better understanding of the past. None the less, evolution holds for now (and maybe for quite a long time to come) and is rooted in science. Facts and discoveries are used to validate it. It existes still because everything that we have discovered so far has led us to believe in it. On the other hand, the same is not the case with 'Intelligent Design' and 'New Earth Creationists'.
Before going any further, let us first understand what theory acutally means in todays science. It means a fact or established truth which is based on/validated/proved by other already proven facts. Therefore a 'theory' is not some idea that someone had. For example, earlier on we had the 'gravitational laws' or the 'magnetic laws', they weren't called theories but laws. Today we have the 'big band theory', 'quantum theory', 'theory of realtivity' etc. Now this doesn't mean that just because earlier ones were called laws then they are established truths, but rather, the term 'theory' means that in todays science. A theory is a fact based on other previously proven facts !
Of Evolution : The dude Darwin basically said that life first started off in the warter as single cell organisms and then devoloped to more and more complex beings as millions and millions of years passed and human eventually evolved out from apes. Also that all this was a random event and its just a matter of chance that it happened on this planet. This is widely taken to be the 'most logical' and 'scientific' answer to the 'where the fuck did we came from' question. All scientific evidence points to it. Till now atleast.
Of Intelligent Design : Now the people who believe in this say that human beings are too 'complex' and 'special' to have evolved from monkeys or algae. They say that some kind of higher intelligence (Mostly God) intended us to be this way and we have turned out to be, cause humans are just too 'smart' and 'special' to be a product of 'chance' and 'random occurance' (yea right!).
Of The New Earth Creationists : According to me, they are the worst of the lot ! Now these people claim that not only did God create man and that evolution is rubbish but also that the earth is just a few thousand years old and not millions as 'many' scientists claim ! ARE YOU KIDDIN ME ?!?!?! The worst part is that they pretend to validate their claims by science. I have read their reasoning and ITS FUCKIN CRAP ! Its NOT science.. ITS RUBBISH ! This one dude runs some natural reserve somewhere. There is an active volcano nearby. He points to the recent destuctive activities of the volcano and the effect it had on the surroundings and says that 'look ! a volcano just changed the entire place in a matter of hours! you don't need millions of years for it'. WoW ! You must have done your majors in geology ! :-p They say that the geological activity of the earth could have made it into what it is in a matter of a few thousand years. Hmmm... I got a few questions for you...
1. What about carbon dating ?
2. The fossils we find all the time ?
3. Coal and Oil that you dump up in your BBQs and SUVs ?
Very basic, please tell me how your 'science' can explain these happening in a matter of a few thousand years ? They also say that "oh! Evolution is just a 'theory'!"... Well... then you don't know what science is buddy (read what theory means a little uppar) !
Then I just don't get these American parents ! Whats with them ? The more devoloped they get, the dumber they seem to be getting. I mean you guys really don't have anything better to do than to push for an un-proven concept like 'Intelligent Design' in schools ?!?! If its a matter of faith then keep it to yourself, its supposed to be a very personal thing ! Teach it to your kids and tell it to anyone who might wanna hear, but trying to make it compulsary in schools ? Very irresponsible! Not only are you just going to confuse young kids but also make a mockery of science and everything that we as 'people' have discovered and achieved till now !!
I don't really think we 'humans' are anything special. To err is in our nature, we sin non stop, weakness is always in our hearts and so are selfishness and hippocarcy. I believe thats its a BIG 'CHANCE' that life devoloped on this planet! We could have ended up like Mars or Venus but we were lucky. I also think there must be more 'other' races out there who deserve more attention from God. We ain't nothing special !
And if indeed there was a 'higher being' who led to our creation then his role must have been limited to the primary atom which exploded to make the universe (big bang) or alternatively maybe some alien race decided to have a little experiment on earth and see how life evolves here.... BUT IN EITHER CASE... EVOLUTION STILL STANDS ! Some 'higher being' just moulding Adam and Eve in his lab and sending them down to earth just to populate... well... seems.... like a fairy tale (good to hear, hard to digest) ! And is definately NOT science !
