Y2K - 10 years on

New Year 2010 is here - in just about 5 days!!

Well, this new year is special - just because it signals the end of the first decade of the 21st century!!

A little over 10 years ago, as the 21st century was about to be heralded - Y2K was the buzz word!!

Y2K was a critical computer problem - related to the fact that "years" in computer systems were stored in 2 digits. On 1 Jan 2000, the "year" was expected to roll over from 99 to 00.

With this, it was estimated that the systems would not be able to distinguish between the year 2000 and 1900. Many organizations across the world spent millions of dollars trying to fix the problem. The net result was highly successful - with very very few errors reported across the world!!

Catch all the details here!!

And one comment by Alan Greenspan in 1998 highlighted how programmers across the world underestimated their capabilities on developing long running computer systems!!

"I’m one of the culprits who created this problem. I used to write those programs back in the 1960s and 1970s, and was proud of the fact that I was able to squeeze a few elements of space out of my program by not having to put a 19 before the year. Back then, it was very important. We used to spend a lot of time running through various mathematical exercises before we started to write our programs so that they could be very clearly delimited with respect to space and the use of capacity. It never entered our minds that those programs would have lasted for more than a few years. As a consequence, they are very poorly documented. If I were to go back and look at some of the programs I wrote 30 years ago, I would have one terribly difficult time working my way through step-by-step. ”

—Alan Greenspan, 1998

What is Boxing Day??

Well, for the last 15 years - almost since the time I've known cricket - I have heard about the Boxing Day Test. The Boxing Day Test starts on the next day after Christmas.

This made me think that 26th Dec is always referred to as Boxing Day. And how wrong i was!!

Boxing Day - in the simplest terms - is the first weekday after Christmas!!

Considering this, it can either be on 26th Dec or 27th Dec or 28th Dec!!

As per Wikipedia, the name derives from the tradition of giving seasonal gifts, on the day after Christmas, to less wealthy people and social inferiors, which was later extended to various work people such as laborers and servants.

Christmas Haul 2009

Merry Christmas :)

Hope you all are having or had a great christmas

Here's my haul!
If you've been following my blog for a while, and read my previous one then you'll know i do these kind of things every year! I have pics of all my presents for the last 3 years!!


Shoesies, low top white converse will be perfect for summer and spring with well everything
Short chestnut uggs are so cute and comfy and well warm!!

I've been trying to track down this lippy for months after seeing it in a magazine. Its chanel's positano. Mac's Please me is rosy matte pink and is pretty cute.

Well this little loot will certainly keep me busy haha

This kit was more expensive than the normal ghd's, it included a cute heatproof bag, a tote bag, clips and hairbrush but i asked for this because £35 goes the breast cancer charity. They are seriously amazing and hands down beat chi's!

haha my idiot dad picked up the aftershave not the womens version. Its regarded as being pretty cheap/chavvy. But honestly its the nicest perfume ever, it smells so fresh almost like the air at the beach with this sweetsmell with a touch of citrus. I adore it, should be swapping it tomorrow if i manage to go shopping!


Here is what i wore most of the day

Delias Harvard tee
Topshop rosebud thermals
Ugg short chestnut
Messy messy hair thrown up into a ponytail


Christmas this year wasnt amazing to due to a little drama but im so thankful for my gifts.

Misconstrued Laws

On Thursday 24th Dec 2009, just about every newspaper in India had a news headline declaring that Indians could now fly their National Flag even at night!!

The first two lines of the article are mentioned below

==

Indian citizens can now fly the National Flag even at night. This is subject to the condition that the flagpole is really tall and the flag itself well-illuminated.

==

This made me wonder what kind of laws are we making?

Laws which can easily be misconstrued!!!

What is the meaning of "really tall"? Is it 1 feet or 100 feet?

And what is "well-illuminated"? Illuminated with a 0 watt bulb or a 100 watt bulb?

Its high time we started making intelligent laws. Laws which have only one clear meaning. This will make our legal system more strong and prevent any misuse in the loopholes of such laws!!

Things I'm Obsessed with 001

First Edition of things im obsessed with.

- Indian Culture, i've always been in love with the indian culture as a whole, but since watching " The family", which is a fly on wall documentry thing on a indian family ( Pregnant daughter, Son getting married, totally hot bollywood actor). Which has relayed into watching " Bend it like Beckham", Bride and Predijuce.

- False Lashes, ftw mascara has nothing on these babies. Im currently loving thickish but look natural lashes. Really reccomend the girls alloud collection by Eyelure.

- MLIA " Yesterday my sister lost her first tooth. Last night after my parents put money under her pillow, i secretly put another 5 bucks under her pillow. Now my parents are still confused, i think i got them to believe in the tooth fairy. MLIA" Enough said...

Naughty or Nice?

Now you've all seen my little wishlist which amazingly one already came true! The best present of all, something that ive never seen before january since i was like 5.

Snow!!!

what’s so wrong with being a little naughty?! Sure, sugar and spice is nice.

Every girl needs...

Every girl needs a signature lip, to bring out your naughty side a red lip is a must, its classy with that smudged eyeliner look ( MAC's Russian Red). Good girls well, they like to play it safe, a tinted lipbalm gives that im wearing makeup but man i dont need it ( Benefit's benetint).


Nailpolish. Black, your thinking hmmm what a stereotype. But seriously every girl good or bad needs just one little bottle of it their life. It can be classy or badass( Chanel black satin, OPI onyx). Good girls need a little lilac too, its different from the classical baby pink, its pretty and girlie.

Skinny jeans, bit like leggings. You dont know what your missing until you wear them constantly and yes you always have a favourite pair. These ( Forever21) Jeans are so cheap- $30. Go with everything, bad girls need a distressed grey pair, good girls, pale denim is cute.
Starbucks gift cards, yum! Naughty girls drink it straight, good girls, you name it. " Syrup, full fat milk"

Intelligent Mind

Once in a while we come across a person whose thought process is quite different from the people we meet daily.

Or many many times, the same old people think differently - making you appreciate their intelligence!!

Well, all this is linked to their mind - who at times or maybe always tries to think at a different level altogether!!

Here is one article which tries to explore this behavior. Quite interesting I would say!!

And if the article is to be believed, we can ourselves build a intelligent mind - just like we are developing a skill!!

This is look im doing for my winter social dance ( ie homecoming), sorry for shabby pics, blame my phone

World Cup 2010 Draw!!

The FIFA Football World Cup 2010 will kick off in South Africa in little over 7 months!!

 

The draw was held a few days back in South Africa and the battle lines are already drawn!!

In my opinion, all the groups are equally balanced - with none of the groups having more than 2 strong teams. With this, unless there are some upsets, we can see a strong line up the Last 16 stage leading to some good action.

The match schedule is as below.

Within a short span of 2 weeks, we will know who will have a shot at the Cup.

As of now, Spain is the current favorite with odds 5 1/2. Only time will tell who will win the World Cup, the first to be held in Africa!!

Realising and finding yourself.

Im finding myself, finally. Im finally being who i want to be.

Im realising that if your friends bitch about each other alot, they will for sure be bitching about you FACT. Bitching about other people gets you no where. It reflects badly on you, and honestly its just rude. If you hear someone is bitchy, im making a vow not to join in.

I'm realising that exercise is not your enemy, laziness is! Pump up some tunes loud, and just get on with it. I look forward to getting on my elliptical, Basshunter pumping crazily loud in my ear and working up a sweat most days.
I'm looking forward to a christmas social, and wearing this dress, black tights, black bow pumps and a tan.


That the preppy look is more me, and to stop changing for other people. I will wear hoodies and gilet's, leggings and jeans and uggs with thick ballet pink pasminas.

"How did you do your hair dude?"

Let this JAPANESE guy teach you how to achieve that short spiky hairstyle in under a minute. It's like AWESOME!

Perfect for the emo/bad boy/Yakuza!!! look.

Short Hairstyles for Round Faced Women Pictures

This can be a great challenge to find out the hairstyles that will best suit the shape of your face. With the help of the long hair you can lengthen the looks of your face but the most difficult part to face is when your face look odd with the hairstyle you chose.

This is the treason to select the proper hairstyle that can go with the shape of your face. If the layers of the hair are given proper attention and volume is added on the right places then the short hairstyles can go very well with the round faces. The most important part of the short hairstyle for round faces is the cut that is adopted. Also the length of the hair is important for the round faces.

Short Hairstyles for Round Faced Women Pictures

The best short hairstyles for round faced women are the haircuts above the length of the chin or below the chin but many inches above the shoulders. If you have round face then you have to avoid hairstyles of the chin length as they will make your face look rounder.

Short Hairstyles for Round Faced Women Pictures

If you are looking for very short hairstyle for round shape faces then the best option can be the pixie cut as it has short wispy layers that will break up the volume of the hair. Length is not the only thing that demands attention also the shape of the hair is important. Flat shape at the top of the head will make your face look rounder. Instead of soft medium length layers you can add on some of the visual height.
