Friday, April 27, 2007
There are lot many encyclopedias and wiki's out there that would help you learn on varied subjects of interest. Well when you have had enough and want to take a break, try reading random articles on un-encyclopedia. It would make you jump out chair and make you roll over the floor with the hilarious content it has to offer.
Un-encyclopedia is a parody of wikipedia in some sense and have almost the same format. Check out some of the fun articles

"Not only will this spectacular invention change our nation, but it will ensure the early death of my daughter's boyfriend," said Harley. Davidson is quoted as saying, "I can finally go to the dentist."
Today Harley-Davidson not only leads the nation in motorcycle production, but also owns 4 states (Iowa, Kansas, North Umbria, and Utah), is responsible for 86% of total human sexual intercourse and 96% of misspelled tattoos. To date, H-D motorcycles have killed almost 2 million stupid boyfriends. Thank you, Harley-Davidson.

TiddlyWiki
Saturday, March 31, 2007
Am sure you must have come across Wikipedia and you know what "Wiki" means. Well if you have never used TiddlyWiki, I would suggest you to give it a shot.
Wikipedia explains Tiddly Wiki as:
TiddlyWiki is a wiki-modeled client-side single page application written by Jeremy Ruston that is designed to be used as a personal notebook. It is a single self-contained HTML file that includes CSS and JavaScript code. When the user downloads it to their PC, TiddlyWiki can save the entered information by overwriting itself on the user's disk, at the user's request. Following TiddlyWiki conventions, users can make a new entry, called a Tiddler, in their local copy of the TiddlyWiki file and save it for future reference. Existing Tiddlers can also be modified or deleted in the same way.
Another serious WIKI collaboration Platform is TWIKI which is used internally both by SAP and Motorola.
Quote from the TWIKI website:
"TWiki, a flexible, powerful, and easy to use enterprise wiki, enterprise collaboration platform and knowledge management system. It is a Structured Wiki, typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Users without programming skills can create web applications. Developers can extend the functionality of TWiki with Plugins."

Surf off-line using webpacks from webaroo
Tuesday, March 20, 2007
Using Webaroo web-packs you can surf off-line on mobile phone(s), windows OS. My favorite is the wikipedia web-pack that allows me to surf wikipedia while am not connected to the internet. (Note that wikipedia also allows you to download the entire wiki, but than it's pretty big in size. Using webaroo you can download specific web-packs of your interest).
