This is the most hilarious animation I have ever seen. Lets wish 2009 be wonderful year ahead with less war and more peace.

What do you think about this picture? Have you seen anything more funny?

Okay this time its Twitter! People started receiving emails as if it was sent from Twitter and asking them to login to a website which looks like Twitter (in simple words, phishing email). Here is what Twitter has to say about it.

It looks as though this particular scam sent out emails resembling those you might receive from Twitter if you get email notifications of your Direct Messages. The email said, “hey! check out this funny blog about you…” and then provided a link. That link redirected to a site masquerading as the Twitter front page.

If you didn’t look at the URL of this false Twitter page, then you might not have noticed that it was actually just a page on the domain access-logins.com which was also faking Facebook’s front page. We immediately reported the offending domain (and warned our friends at Facebook). The site is now on OpenDNS’ and Google’s reported phishing lists.

Twitter has also added a message on top of their home page too.

Firefox has already started blocking the website. You can read more about it here. Even afte so many warnings from people and Twitter, it seems some one fellow just logged in

I am a great fan of sonyericsson phones. Do you own a sony ericsson phone? Check out the tutorial, I wrote some time back, about changing your default menu icons.

Unlike the first wave of eight-megapixel hot shots, including the LG Renoir, Samsung Pixon and Samsung i8510, the C905 sliderphone doesn’t have touchscreen control or smartphone functionality, but it does work its Cyber-shot credentials hard.

Yeah you heard it right! Its Kerala. Temperature goes below zero in Munnar, My home town. Look at the photo of sleet (I am not sure about the exact word to be used . The dew drops changed to ice and covered the grass in front of my house. I had a very tuff time waking up and driving!

I was playing with open book theme by jbj for crankup. One of the theme options required me to enter Category ID. I searched all the admin pages and couldn’t find the ID for a particular ID. I was able to find the category ID after some googling. In case you are struggling to find the ID for a category, here is how you can find it.

1. Login to your wordpress admin
2. Navigate to Manage -> Categories
3. Click any of the Category and you will see the Category ID in the resulting page’s URL
