Foodiebay

It's feels great to be back on blogging again. Last seven days was been a hell to me with exams going on and nothing seemed to remain in my tiny brain for more than 1 hour. But I somehow managed to deal with them quite nicely and hoping this will reflect in my results too.

Now back to business, here is a food site which I found interesting and helpful.
Foodiebay is a food guide type of site created by some IIT-D students. It has around 1200(and still counting) listings of restaurants in and around Delhi and NCR. It has every details of the restaurants which every foodie wish for. From the nukkad wala dhaba to the swankiest restaurants they have everything. They also show rate list along with items which I liked the most. Now can plan a restaurant according to the budget ....online.

Poooool

Recently I am experiencing deep carvation for the pool. So me along with my friends have been going twice or thrice in a week to a nearby pool center to satisfy our souls. Till now I had learnt how to hold the stick called cue, and surprisingly today I managed to won 1 out of 4 games. Now you can imagine how lame is my opponent is.
They say Cricket is a gentleman's game but I think pool is a more gentleman game. Pool is superb in this kind of hot and humid weather in which one has to think thrice before playing in open. But I still play cricket or football whenever I get opportunity.
And I am sure I will win 4 out of 4 and with some other opponent in near future.

Olympic Games Of India

Olympics might be over but the spirit is still alive. I wonder how the Olympics look, if ever happened in India. And I got my answer in this video and wanted to share with you all.




I think the cow race is very challenging and fun side by side and should get a place in some games and the perfect place for it is in our India.

Google Chrome

Today Google, owner of most powerful search engine on earth launched it's Web browser Crome, challenging the dominance over internet of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. They launched the beta version of Google Chrome in more than 100 countries. . They have released this beta for Windows, strange isn't it and working on the versions for Mac and Linux too.

Here is the first screenshot of the google's chrome.



I think the main advantage for Chrome must be that it has been made open source. But for me it just a web browser for now but might change my mind when combined with google O.S. in near future. I do not seen it yet cause i haven't been able to find a link to download it.

Personalized tag suggestion for flickr

This blog is an extension to my previous image tagging blog. While surfing on internet my eyes got jammed on this research paper "Personalized tag suggestion for flickr", and I found it informative along with interesting. The paper was published in 17th International World Wide Web Conference (Beijing, China April 21 - 25, 2008) by Nikhil Garg and Ingmar Weber.

Here is a sneak peak - When the user is entering/selecting new tags for a particular picture, the system suggests related tags to her, based on the tags that she or other people have used in the past along with (some of) the tags already entered.

All those who are aroused by the name image tagging must read this. Just go to the site and download the research paper.
