The tourist guy has been found. (Or is this another elaborate hoax?)

I’m back, after a Diwali break. So’s the late Douglas Adams, with A Salmon of Doubt.

The Harry Potter site is becoming quite popular. But what I don’t get is the comment on CNet saying “Females made up 63 percent of the site’s audience, while males accounted for more than 37 percent.” Hmm… what were they expecting? Martians?

Is Jose the tourist guy?

Yahoo is outside the jurisdiction of French law.

I saw Memento. This film is incredible. Of the class of “Citizen Kane”. Likely to win an Oscar? (It also stars Carrie-Anne Moss, of the Trinity fame in “The Matrix”.)

Opera 6 Beta is out.

Pretty faces help you think better.

Dave collects Disney art.

I am not a blogaholic. I scored 48/100. 39% scored more than I did. I am “a casual weblogger … blog when nothing better to do … post more often … readers happy.”

Mathworld is back.

The April Fool RFCs are hilarious.

DOS is dead. Is Altavista dying too?

The Harry Potter movie is coming to India only in Apr 2002. :-(

Linux has saved Amazon $17 million.

A portal of urban legends. The bunk stops here.

The origin of Dogbert.

In the meantime, Microsoft XP’s copyright protection has been hacked. Their digital rights management scheme: hacked. Passport: hacked.

You can hack into MS Passport. And just today, BCG decided to move us all into a passport ID using .Net. Still, MSN Messenger 4.5 is pretty good.
