posterous is the new player in this game, it gives “500 internal server error” from here, the guys at posterous didn’t bother to make it in header, if you take a look at the page headers it says 200 OK, they printed it in the page i mean c’mon is it that hard to change the headers.
again PHProxy wins :D

last night i was trying to download google talk for a friend and i was expecting the usual 403 but what i got was this

anyway i couldn’t believe that so i tried to open it using a proxy and bang the download started, it looks like download and code have different policies concerning user credibility .

thanks to the PhProxy team for making my life easier , and i would donate if only i could open paypal from here :p

each time i step upon a charging line i move to another world, my habits change; i speak less i think alot more , i just love this feeling.

last line of this kind i found is qouted from Albert Einstein which is : “I wish to do something Great and Wonderful, but I must start by doing the little things like they were Great and Wonderful”, this line gives me answers i’ve been looking for for a very long time.

i hope i keep on this state enough because it brings the good stuff out of me.

if you have 1 minute you could go and check it out.

when the company you are workin for doesn’t meet your standards for either salary or work quality it is reasonable to think of a change, but what about google, even if it is the dream of many programmers to work for, people do leave google !!

about a year and a half back when i was a fresh grauate and i got this job, it was like the dream job for me , a programming job with a very high speed internet connection (which was like my dream in college days) ,doing the stuff i like, the way i like, what do i want more?

Now when i look at my job it is mostly routine tasks , no more creativity, no more new stuff to learn. i realized (and it is only a thought) that it doesn’t matter how good the company is , or the job is , it is going to be like that; a routine task, and i dont like routines.

i think it is clear now that it is Time to Change
