I got access to SORA today. My first attempts was typical. An animated cartoon featuring Calvin, a young boy with spiky hair, standing in a playful boxing stance with oversized boxing gloves. He looks determined as he says ‘Bring it on!’ in a speech bubble. Facing him is Hobbes, a tall and slightly bemused tiger, also in a mock boxing pose with a gentle smile, as if humoring Calvin. The scene is set in Calvin’s backyard, typical of a Calvin and Hobbes comic, with a simple and uncluttered backdrop. ...

The #HarryPotter Screen Time video featured a bar chart race made in PowerPoint. Many of you asked how I made it. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial. https://youtu.be/E1SeoUV8awI (BTW, there are just 9 people on LinkedIn who match “bar chart race” and #powerpoint. This is for you, friends!) Gramener converted this feature into a product, SlideSense.ai. But more on that later 🙂 The original video is at https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6801138072068214784/ LinkedIn

Spotted this ad on Business Standard. It was at the bottom of the page, and initially, I thought it really was an ant crawling across my laptop. Incidentally, catching the ant is not all that easy. Took me a minute. But once you catch it, it stays put. Business Standard no longer has an ad with an ant crawling across the bottom of the page.

I’m learning Flash.

I saw an old MPEG of Red’s Dream in 1995. In a sense, graphics hasn’t changed much in the last decade. It’s just become more accessible.

I just can’t figure out some people. It’s not just their English, which can be even more confusing than mine. It’s just their way of thinking, I guess. This guy, for instance, started off with… debasissatpathy: hi friend i want a cool girl root_node: I’m sure you do. Haven’t found one yet, have you? debasissatpathy: no i have lots of girl friends not a lover root_node: Too bad. Why don’t you have a lover, though? debasissatpathy: i want a girl who will perfect matching for me root_node: And what kind of a person is a perfect match for you? debasissatpathy: a sexy bold and friendly girl root_node: That’s it? And you’d fall in love with a sexy, bold and friendly girl? root_node: (BTW, hope you’re not trying to hook ME…) root_node: I’m not a girl, FYI. debasissatpathy: he i am a girl try to hog me This floored me completely. I had no clue what the guy was saying. I figured he might have meant, “Hey, I am a girl… try to hug me!” – so I figured… root_node: Gosh, I’m chatting to a lesbian!! debasissatpathy: he i am not a lesbo i am intrest in your pennies Now, I’m completely clueless. “pennies”!?? Why’s he interested in my money, and how’s he going to get his hands on it? But then, it hit me… root_node: Ah, I trust that would be a mis-spelling for the male organ of reproduction. root_node: Nice thing to be interested in. root_node: And you’re looking for your sexy bold friendly girl online? debasissatpathy: it is only nice or any thing special in you root_node: Oh, dear me.. always thought I was a bit different, at least in name… debasissatpathy: no nothing in name you want to enjoy so don’t be a homo root_node: Fair advice. Thought bisexuals have the best of both world’s I guess. root_node: Wouldn’t you agree? debasissatpathy: common i am a male and don’t be so bore root_node: Hmmm… what do you propose we do then, Debasis? root_node: I hate to bore you as much as you hate being bored by me. root_node: Shall we pester some of the lasses around? debasissatpathy: no if you want a strong friend ship then step your feet now debasissatpathy: i am a very carring person above all i am an indian Wow! Strong sentiments. I’d better “step on my feet”, and prove my “friendship”. root_node: So am I Debasis. Caring, and Indian. debasissatpathy: he don’t be so bold enjoy root_node: I didn’t understand… debasissatpathy: to be a friend you should tell me somthing about you and your family root_node: OK. I’m an only child, and I’m from Madras. debasissatpathy: do you native of tn or migrated root_node: Native. root_node: What about you, Debasis? How old are you? What do you do? debasissatpathy: what about your hobbies root_node: I play the keyboard. Mostly film songs. I play basketball. Reading, etc. debasissatpathy: tell me about your education root_node: Of course… but do answer my question? How old are you? And what do you do? debasissatpathy: i am 22 year old a mechanical engineer and warkin in a mnc at new delhi root_node: Oh… which company do you work in? debasissatpathy: in neolite industries root_node: What products do you manufacture? debasissatpathy: automobile lights root_node: Oh, cool. I just finished a management degree a few months ago. root_node: I’m a chemical engineer myself. debasissatpathy: good but tell me what you want to be in feature root_node: I want to direct a cartoon film. Some day… debasissatpathy: ok why cartoon these are aim of girls Sheesh! Such preconceived notions…. anyway, at this point, the guy starts getting really wierd. root_node: Well… sounds like Walt Disney was a guy. And I kinda admire the guy. root_node: Wouldn’t mind being like him. debasissatpathy: tell me one thing if you are alone with a girl what will you do root_node: Talk to her. debasissatpathy: what type of talk root_node: Normal talk – the kind we’re doing. What’re your interests, etc. root_node: Why?

Have you lost him? debasissatpathy: clear it root_node: Are you asking about the film star Rajesh Khanna? debasissatpathy: and tell me about your family root_node: I already did – single child, and from Madras. That’s about it. debasissatpathy: are you not she root_node: No, trust me – I’m as masculine as they get. I’m a “he” for sure! debasissatpathy: ok try to contact me through mail and i am a native of orissa root_node: Sure, Debasis.
