Blogger Accounts

To the Members of the Clan of Exun

It would be an understatement to say that I am being pelted with requests for “Blogger Invitations” for lnexun.com, as, these days, I have the pleasure of showing up in school in a manner that can be best described as “every day”. However, I have to disappoint those Prospective Bloggers by informing them that, since I have graduated from the grey walls of the school back in April, I no longer have the authority to do what they want of me. So, let me make this declaration that I am not to be contacted for Blogger Invitations. For that purpose, you must either contact the two Presidents of the Clan of Exun, the Senior Coordinations of the Clan of Exun, or the Head of the Clan of Exun, who are, in that order, Abhisheyk & Ishita, Gursartaj & Dhruv, or Mr. Mukesh Kumar.

Of late, I have also heard one more curious piece of information from certain members. The dialogue is as follows: “Now that we’re in ninth, can we post on ln(exun), please?” I have removed subsequent question marks from the end of the sentence for clarity; however, the message is quite clear. While founding this blue-headered website, I had no intention of limiting posting to members of certain classes only. While I cannot say if the rules have changed, if they have not, I request that, in the same manner as Exun Member Photographs, all those who have not been made members of this website be rounded up and sent Invitations by the Proper Authority and Channel, hopefully regardless of age, sex, creed, caste, colour, strength of character and intelligence.

Always at your service,
–Karan
Ex-President of the Clan of Ex-un

PS2: I do not know if this entry complies with the Strict Regulations of Postable Content. If it does not, then I apologise profusely and invite an Administrator to nullify the entry.
PS3: Try “Look What You’ve Done” by Jet.

So all you brilliant minds out there…get cracking!!

Try this out…

In the address bar of a firefox window, type ‘about:mozilla’.You get a royal red page displaying the official verses from the book of mozilla.
Now try the same thing in Internet Explorer.What do you see?…You get a blue screen death(like we need any more of those?);in some versions of Internet Explorer you get a white screen with the word mozilla.

P.S For those of you who still haven’t made the switch to firefox, use google or the official website of mozilla to read the verses..they give Nostradamus a run for his money.

Apple finally releases right-click mouse after 21 …


A lot of changes seem to be going on inside the headquarters of Apple Computer Inc. It looks like the madman who runs the company is finally caving in to pressure. First, Apple switches to Intel, and now Apple releases a multi-button mouse. The amazing thing is that it took 21 years to happen. That’s practically a millennium in computing terms.

Word has reached the campus of Apple from a dying man on horseback who told of strange and mysterious computers used in a foreign land that offered not one but several mouse buttons. Before the aged rider expired, he also told of a wheel on the mouse that spun, causing items on the screen to scroll.
(Excerpt from Macworld.com)

The odd/amazing thing about this mouse, however, is that it doesn’t actually have any buttons. In fact, you can’t even see two distinct left/right-click buttons. Mac OS X can be set to assume the Mighty Mouse as a one-button mouse and so, just like regular Apple mice, it does a left-click no matter where you press on the mouse. However, there’re touch sensors in the mouse and the right-click can be activated, to, well, right-click, if you happen to exert pressure on the right-hand side of the mouse. The scroll wheel is actually a scroll dot that doesn’t simply go up or down but, like a rotating sphere, it goes 360 degrees and so this is the first mouse I’ve seen that can scroll diagonally. Another weird thing about this mouse is that all the clicks are “synthesized”. The mouse never makes any physical clicking sound, but there’re tiny speakers in the mouse that give a synthetic clicking sound when you click, just like the Clicker on an iPod.

Enjoy the weather while it lasts!

Windows Vista Beta 1

Last week Microsoft said that the operating system known for years as Longhorn would be called Windows Vista and that a beta version would be available by Aug. 3.

Then on Wednesday morning–a week ahead of schedule–the software giant said that the beta is ready to go.
