I know a lot of things, but ask me what I know and I’m at a loss at what to say.
We’re the Google generation—all the information in the world is just a search away. I think we can’t help being affected by that.
I know a lot of things, but don’t have a lot [...]

This is just a quick jot-down of what I think about my new job/city. Haven’t quite processed everything yet, so it’s bound to be incoherent.

OK, guess what this (simplistic) HTML file should display when opened in your favorite browser?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function () {
var dropDown = document.getElementById('select');
var newOption = document.createElement('option');
newOption.innerHTML = 'four';
dropDown.appendChild(newOption);
dropDown.options.selectedIndex = dropDown.options.length – 1;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id="select">
<option>one</option>

QuillPad is as cool as Google’s Indic Transliteration tool. Multiple languages, with live transliteration. The only thing missing is an option to manually type in a word which hasn’t been transliterated properly.

Lots of stuff coming up in the next few weeks—employment related news, which I’ll write about; computer related news, which I’m sure I’ll write about in excruciating detail; and family stuff which I won’t be writing about.
