It’s been a good movie month for me, and I’ve managed to nudge closer to my target of watching the IMDb Top 250. But one tool I had in the past, that I sorely miss, is twofifty.org. It’s a now-defunct site that kept track of the IMDb Top 250, and let you strike off the movies that you had watched. You could see which movies you hadn’t seen, keep score, and discuss the movies. Since it’s demise, my movie watching slowed down as well. Earlier this month, I set up a similar site at 250.s-anand.net. It has the same basic function. You can log in, strike out movies that you’ve seen, and keep track of what’s left to see. For the more technically minded, the source-code is at two-fifty.googlecode.com. ...

I’ve built a simple Sanskrit transliterator. You can type in words in English and it will spell them out in Sanskrit. You can copy-paste the Tamil above into Microsoft Word, etc. Browse through my Javascript to see how it works. Feel free to reuse. Comments ND 28 Aug 2006 12:00 pm: Real good and absolutely quick! Saurabh 28 Aug 2006 12:00 pm: Good work, wonder how many use Sanskrit these days though! One more thing, specific to Mac users, is that Indic support is still not mature for Firefox. Safari, the inbuilt browser does a decent job though. There was an extra “S” that was appearing after each letter in Safari.

Ashwin (you know me!!) 28 Aug 2006 12:00 pm: nice one buddy!!although how would you deal with ambiguities like “om” ? Anand 28 Aug 2006 12:00 pm: Hmm, I wonder…can you please check if the small ‘‘i’’ maatra works fine? I gave the word ‘‘janani’’ and the ‘‘i’’ gave me the maatra AFTER the second ‘’na’’, while it should be BEFORE. The big ‘‘ii’’/‘‘I’’ works fine. Also words like ‘‘chithram’’ etc - basically wherever there is a small ‘‘i’’! Rama Krishna 28 Aug 2006 12:00 pm: Really Good. Keep up the good work mohana 28 Aug 2006 12:00 pm: try this swami neelkanth 28 Aug 2006 12:00 pm: thanks
