  • I hate Tagged!!

    I have been getting these spam mails on behalf of some of my friends from Tagged Mail saying he/she has Tagged me! I have already unsubscribed from their service a few times but continue recieving such mails.

    I really hate these services and am annoyed with friends who use the mail id so irresponsibly!!

  • AJAXified Timelines

    I was trying to look up some way to present some data to a client when I stumbled upon this AJAX widget by SIMILE project run by a group at MIT. The group works on semantic web technologies and besides Timeline, has tools like Babel, to convert data, and Exhibit, which is a publishing framework.

    Timeline allows you to create simple scrollable timelines using an XML or JSON data source using their javascript and some very simple and highly customisable options. Do check out their websitewhich has some pretty cool stuff using their tools.
