Google Wave is a waste !!

Monday, November 16, 2009

After much fanfare and lot of begging, pleading, threatening, and blackmailing, The Furobiker got a Google Wave invite! I used it for about half an hour, checking all the geeky nerdy websites, and for what all it can be used. My final verdict - Its waste!


I mean unless you have to collaborate with people sitting 7 samundar paar, or you are soo lazy to play sudoku alone, you can use google wave and its sudoku and other apps. It is basically a big chat window, where many people can lazily chat with each other at their own convenient times and inserting whatever apps, video, yes/no questions or whatever in it! I am just wondering why the hell was so much craze and fanfare among people for this?

Anyways one good feature can be termed as "beware!!" feature in Google Wave. If two people are sending each other a wave, Person 2 can real-time character by character read what person 1 is typing! So if you are a patni ka sataya hua pati or girlfriend ka sataya hua boyfriend who vents out his frustration by typing abuses in the chat window but deletes before pressing enter (zindagi kisse pyari nahi hoti bhayya? - who doesn't fear for his life?!). Your game is over now. Buuuhuuuhuuu :(

Anyways if you belong to the rare well read - pade likhe log, here is this site which supposidly is Google Wave 101 guide. If you find a single good reason for me to use google wave, do let me know.

Like they taught us to end letters in school -

Thanking you, Yours Faithfully, Yours sincerely, Yours Truly

The Furobiker Review Contest

Saturday, November 14, 2009

As most of you will be knowing i have been in the blog / websites world for the past 6 years. (yeah i used to write on Geocities 2 years before i opened up this place called The Furobiker) Along with that i do my bit in the search engine optimization stuff as well. So combining both of these things i am presenting for you all a small contest here. First of all the main part of this post. The prize of the contest!


There is only one prize which is Rs 2500 (apprx USD 50) Google Adwords coupon.

Have you seen some ads on the right hand side and the top of Google search results. You can use this Google Adwords coupon to create your account and display your ads over there. Or display your blog ads on various websites that use google adsense. In short lots of free money to publicize your blog.



What will you have to do for it? Write a simple short post of 50 words (minimum) reviewing my blog. You are free to bash, insult, praise, tear apart or do anything in that review. Full honest review along with a link to my blog.

The purpose of this contest? Fairly simple. I already have an google Adwords account so cant use this coupon. So thought why not have some honest opinions (and free publicity ofcourse) for my blog while someone else makes a better use of this coupon!

So dont hesitate people, try your luck, and write a small simple review about my blog and send across the link of your post to abby@thefurobiker.com . The contest is open only till 25th November!

Any questions/Queries are always welcome.

Kya aap chashmish hain?

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

A friend of mine recently got specs. And he thinks he became God in the world of chashmish people by wearing them for 2 weeks? I saw his specs and asked do you have cylindrical number

Friend: This specs does not have a cylindrical number.
ME: Bacche tu pichle 5 din se chashma laga raha hai aur main pichle 20 saal se!!

And that was the What the FCUK! moment of the day. I mean considering the fact that i am just 23, having a 20 years experience in wearing chashme is really a big deal. Feels like eternity since i have been wearing them! Phew. And these new arrivals on the chashma team are teaching me !! :O :O

I was going through an old childhood album of mine some days back and i could not find a single fotograph where i am not wearing glasses! Even where i am sleeping i am wearing them! I think i used to believe in the story that you get clear and high quality dreams if you are wearing a chashma! Phew!



Anyways i know i am not able to post frequently here. Blame the firangis!! Why do we have to work till they get up in the morning? Why cant they get up couple of hours early? By the way before i forget to tell you people about it, i got promoted.

I always had the dream of sitting in a cabin with my foot on the table,ordering people to bring me tea ( i dont like office coffee), chatting on yahoo chatrooms whole day but alas!! But since i got promoted i am spending atleast a couple of extra hours everyday in the office. Life sucks..as always

By the way, continuing on the chashma topic, the biggest downside of wearing glasses is that you can not wear Goggle-shoggle sharukh eshtyle or Goa eshtyle (holiday fun eyeglasses). So does any of my readers is a chashmish?

Do share your views about the chashmish people / or your experiences of being a chashmish!!
