"angry monkeys eat seat belts"

As if the comments weren't stupendifirous enough now you can even tune into what I'm listening to right now! I can only support 2 listeners (128kbps stereo) and during the day I'll probably be using one of the connections but during the evening when I'm grooving at home you can groove with me. Check out the link to the right in the "about a keyur" section. If directly clicking on that link doesn't work than copy that link and in Winamp hit Ctrl+L, paste the link (http://ghar.ods.org:8000/listen.pls) in there and hit enter. For you iTunes users out there the link should be enough to get iTunes up and running. As a note turn off your software eqalizers otherwise it will sound distorted during the louder parts of songs.
You should be tuned into Your One Stop Keyur Music Shop!. If its not working properly or if you guys have any suggestions or requests or whatever leave me comments. I guess for requests you might want to try instant messaging me or emailing me. Anyway this is pretty neato, the geek factor here is pretty high. Okay go tune in.

So then I was reading Wired today and came across a story on a new oil spill containment method that promises to revolutionize the way oil spills are managed. I hate to be a cynical bastard sitting pretty in my warm comfy apartment, but haven't there been many many revolutionary breakthroughs in oil spill containment? It seems every time there is a major oil spill the world gets all up in a ruckus but nary is there a mention of even one of these technologies that have come and gone over the years actually being used to manage the spill. Furthermore if some whiz bang technology was used I doubt that the manufacturer would sit by quitely and not try to attract as much media attention as possible. Its bad enough that the old school tankers that are so leak prone are still being used, but its worse when everytime theres an accident you hear some new whiz band technology and then after n years the whole process repeats. This is one cycle I desperately want to see stopped joltingly.

Also today I was thinking about the whole concept of a University education and I realized that I really don't trust 97% of my professors. Over the course of my 5 years with my big moneyed university, I've come across 3 professors who've actually cared or put up a good enough show to convince me they care. The rest of the people were too busy just trying to get class out of the way so they could go do whatever it is they do. I can't speak for all the departments but I'd have to say that professors in the Liberal Arts department have time and again just set really high standards for my other professors. Most of my CS professors have been so incompetent in human to human interaction it blows my mind to think that these people have families, children, a normal human life. Clearly there are always exceptions to the rule and thank god for that. Academically I think I would have been atleast 2542.314% better off if I'd had gone to a small school in the northeast. This whole 50,000+ student population thing doesn't rub me the right way.

I'll update the Mozilla build info tomorrow morning, I promise!
