The Romantics - Talking in You Sleep

raja — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:47:34 +0000

Well, I haven’t blogged in a long while, so I thought I’d just add something random. This damn son is playing in my head since I accidentally heard it again on radio.

So what better thing to do than spread it among my friends and get them hooked to this as well?

Just for the heck of it, lets give you guys the lyrics as well:-

When you close your eyes
And go to sleep
And it’s down to the sound
Of a heartbeat
I can hear the things
That you’re dreamin’ about
When you open up your heart
And the truth comes out

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I’m right
‘Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep

When I hold you in my arms at night
Don’t you know you’re sleeping in the spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You’re telling me the secrets
That you just can’t hide

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I’m right
‘Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talking in your sleep

Aww come on.. hooked already, well me being all nice and stuff, here is the song as well.

Creating Partitions with GNU Parted

Hi, this is my second screencast. This time I talk about parted, an alternative to fdisk.

There is audio skipping towards the end of the screencast, which I discovered only after uploading this video to youtube.

I’ll add a link to the full video on rapidshare once I have posted this on Danny’s site.

The Perfect Song

raja — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 09:44:05 +0000

One of the most catchy songs I’ve heard recently, A Perfect Lie (Gabriel & Dresden Remix) by The Engine Room deserves a very special mention. My friends and I have nicknamed it ‘The Perfect Song’ in reference to its lyrics. Heck, I even blogged about the soundtrack in an earlier post.

Well, this song being too catchy n all, I decided to make it a ringtone. I have linked to the original version here, so you guys can edit it to your hearts content

I need a wireless mouse…

And my friend Abi is running a contest with the prize being a cool wireless mouse. The cheapskate in me forced my brains to rack up something. The garbage that came out wasn’t too pleasing, but here’s my shot at something free:-

Rajaseelan spotted a hog,
Wanting a good picture to blog,
He angled up by a log,
Unfortunately delirium from sipping eggnog,
Made him fall into the bog.

How To Create Facebook Badges

In my first ever screencast, I ‘enlighten’ the uninformed few on facebook badges. I’m not really happy with myself in this screencast, however, it was a good chance for me to learn about screencasting in linux.

You should also check out my friend Danny, who has done quite a few quality screencasts.

Somebody To Love - Boogie Pimps

While I’m on a roll, here’s another freaking catchy song, was popular in the Ministry Of Sound compilations in 2003 - 2005.

World, Hold On! - Bob Sinclair

raja — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:10:28 +0000

Heard this song in the club, so I thought I might as well post the youtube link. The lyrics are included in case you care

“World, Hold On” - Bob Sinclar feat Steve Edwards

Oh yeah, yeah…
Open up your heart, what do you feel
Open up your heart, what do you feel… is real

The big bang may be a million years away
But I can’t think of a better time to say

World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future, open up inside
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

World, hold on
Come one, everybody in the universe,
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Children of the sky…

Look inside, you’ll find a deeper love
The kind that only comes from high above

If you ever meet your inner child, don’t cry
Tell them everything is gonna be alright

World, hold on
Come one, everybody in the universe,
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Children of the sky…

Don’t take no for an answer, no no

Right here,spread love, everybody join together now
One [race], one heart, love and unity, everybody sing
yeah!

World, hold on

World, hold on
Come one, everybody in the universe,
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

World, hold on
Come one, everybody in the universe,
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Crime & Passion

Holy Cow!!! I just saw this on youtube. I had to post this, anyone who grew up as an 80’s SBC child will instantly recognize this. One of their locally produced cops & thieves dramas, with an uber-catchy theme song. The one posted on youtube is the mandarin (?) dub, but either way its definitely worth a listen.

Contest @ Abinesh’s Delirium

My friend Abi is having a contest where some people will get free WordPress stickers if they meet certain criteria. Too bad I didn’t follow this earlier on. This is what happens when you dont read your RSS feeds.

Oh well, he’s promised to have more contests in the coming year, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Alternatives to torrenting

raja — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:18:00 +0000

My friend Danny wrote about this new torrent search engine, YouTorrent. With Malaysia’s frustratingly slow internet connections, with the many accusations of throttling or traffic shaping when it comes to torrents, direct downloads maybe be an alternative option.

This is where one-click-hosting sites comes into play. These sites allow you to upload files to their servers, which they then ‘host’. You’ll be given a link to download them, which can then be passed on to all your contacts, making your media accessible all over the world. Rapidshare.com is one the the early pioneers and more popular of the lot. Their multiple mirrors and reliability seem pretty good to me, making it one of my preferred file sharing hosts.

There are quite a number of sites that post ‘files’ on rapidshare.com. The 2 which I frequent the most are:

Rapidshare King primaryly uploads movies, while Leecher’s Lair provides everything else under the sun. I personally know a few users with paid RapidShare accounts, because of how easy it is to download things.

Hope this posts helps you guys in getting another alternative to torrenting.
