samorost2
The most addictive game 'samorost' is back with a sequel to Version-1. Even the simplest of simple games have help tips & tricks to navigate all around the board, road or terrain. Believe me, this has no tip or help related to game and navigation...and still became popular. It's very simple. All you got to do is point & click wherever you find the hand cursor to click, but with a bit of logic ! I attribute its popularity to simple & elegant use of flash (yes. Adobe Flash ! ), rusty, greeny, tiny characters & backdrop. Though objects looks strange it stands par to the fiction of alice-in-wonderland of our kiddy days !
Though it's not a sound oriented game, the sound enables are too sweetly merged with the rusty design. Turn on your high volume speaker, tune it to very sharp chiming mode & Play samorost to feel the hang of it.

It's about color honey !
Colors are universal & everybody can visualise colors. I heard cat can't dream in colors. poor animal.I wonder how it gauges between red,yellow,white roses on valentines !
Quite often I try to know the color values of any image or graphic on my desktop. Just to get the right RGB, HEX, HSB, CMYK values I take the screenshot paste it into Photoshop and do some color sniffing to get the right color value. I know, it's a tedious task when Photoshop starts like a old lambretta early in the morning!. There may be apps which helps to grab the right color code. I'm sure, they involve atleast 3 or more combination of tasks to assess the right color value. I found this nifty, little app which lets you grab the color values & screen co-ordinates on your screen in a snap of finger.
colorpix automatically translates any screen color into RGB, HEX, HSB and CMYK color values, and comes with a zoom-able magnifier built in! Best of all, there's nothing to install - just download the tiny app and off you go. So grab it now, it's FREE!http://www.colorschemer.com/colorpix_info.php
It can color sniff, color identity.
One more wicket falls !
My long time jigri dost, Umesh ( _the java prodigy) tied a knot with sweet looking Gayathri on 5th of December. This is his reception snap, a day before the wedding. I snapped it on night mode with a flash free focus. It was a cool and jovial wedding ceremony with a lot of fun & frolic (though u don't see the same on their face ! -They're seriously giving pose to camera with a full khandaan standing besides them. I've cropped those extra janta to fit this snap into narrow blog !). I met couple of my old colleagues on that day. He was looking cool in a cream colored slit coat & a maroon shirt.
I complemented him for his nice outfit...
He replied with sorta grace in voice :
"idhu annavra style maga !"
Varun bids Au revoir!
Is it a sort of farewell season ?I think so. Because I said bye to the firm I was associated with it for quite some time. And many of my freinds doing the same ritual to say an hi to new venture or to a new firm ! Love you December ;). The month where most of my new ideas gets into work !
Now, Varun says bye to Techtree editorial desk. Techtree is my favorite bookmark on everyday visit list. I loved him not because he was criss crossing the grey market prices but was more informative in letting me know, when 60GB ipod entered grey market than Apple show room in Forum, the best gaming PC console, forethought on hardware price falls ! He was good, precisely,Techtree is good.
When it comes to design [ ah ! what a darn scale to measure the best indian tech portal;) ] I've lot of red flags to raise on the layout and compatible issues of Techtree and its usability as a everyday tech portal. Well, I don't fall short in consoling myself since most-hits-a-day site slashdot is less appealing contrast to techtree. When content and speed matters techtree beats any desi tech portal for that matter.
Initially, I had a brief artificial hammerage in understanding cess, octroi, levies, customs on my telephone bill, broadband bill, hardware shopping bills and lot more. To add fuel, VAT (so-calld value added crap) also squeazing my money on shopping floors. Varun is right in saying-
"I believe we should be able to spend it the way we want, on what we want, without having to worry about customs, octroi, and a thousand other taxes and levies, especially when it comes to technology products. "Sad part is that I & we miss Varun on Techtree editorail pages, but he is right in saying-" I'm proud because I know Techtree is strong enough to go on without me". Good connoisseur thought:Show must go on.
"as many brands choose not to enter India because of the highly bureaucratic process of imports and taxation (compare us to UAE or Dubai...)"
Read Varun's farewell message.
Buddy, lost in programming mess ?!
While writing code, lot of issues a programmer needs to keep track of: variables, functions, parameters and their integration with other modules and pages. And as your coding away, you are reminded of other things that you have to do when you are done with the line you are writing.Most of the times the only place where this information resides is in my brain and it will take me a good time to pick up where I left off just a few days ago.
I know that there is sophisticated project management software that will keep track of all tasks, but I have found this very simple to-do-list application that will do exactly what I need. Keep track of my programming to do list for a particular project in a simple manner. The data is stored in an XML file, so you could have it online and have oher developers access it as well. No installation required, just a standalone executable.
Anyways, you can find it here:
