And the wind started whisper my way

The meaning of life?
You see...

Not knowing they were examples of "unsolvable" statistics problems, he jotted them down and solved them as a homework assignment.”

# Flickr integration is over

I am now aggregating my flickr pictures on tamizhan.com. Overnight, my plugin runs and grabs any new picture I post at flickr.

The sync is an one time static import i.e if I change the title of an existing photo in my flickr account, the change will not get reflected here. I thought of making it dynamic but that would mean checking every photo every night for changes, which has huge bandwidth implications as my flickr account grows (which it should in the coming year).

These fun projects are a welcome diversion, especially since I am having a hectic time at office.

Anyways, next on my plate is AJAXification. Probably followed by a grease monkey user script. That space is looking more and more interesting with every passing day.
