Enjoy symlinks and hardlinks on NTFS

Can’t believe I didnt come across this before - if you’ve gotten used taming your hdd by creating links to folders and have been annoyed with the lack of symlinks and hardlinks on NTFS, then despair no more. I’ve been using Mark Russinovich’s (of sysinternals fame) tool - junction.exe all this while and though it works great, have always wanted something that would integrate with Explorer too. For an in-depth discussion - read http://shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=284 Anyways, I’m extremely happy with NTFS Link - this will surely go into my list of “Must have tools - install immediately on a new machine” list

Water droplets - dipping a toe in macro photography

he he - so I have a canon S3 IS - got it last year since it allows enough manual control while also having family friendly thingies like video :). Also, with the chdk hack, the S3 IS is good enough for me to experiment.

So, one of these long time itches has been to take a water droplet splash - you know, the immensely close up snaps where you see a single drop splashing…

Here’s the snaps after two evenings of trial and error (mostly errors though) - feeling quite smug myself

Piclens - full screen slideshows with flickr (and others)

discovered Piclens

Its a great addin for firefox - and integrates with Flickr to give you full screen slideshows a’la Picasa slideshows on your machine!! Its a bit tricky to figure out how to get it to work - Just hover any picture on any page  and click on the blue bubbly overlay button that appears

Imaging the tenth dimension

Amazing flash movie!

Great flash movie explaining dimensions 4 (time), 5, 6 all the way uptil 10. And why they stop after 10!

I’ve never come across a clearer explanation ever and the great visualization does the trick.
