Check it out:

1. Go to Google Images. (http://images.google.com)

2. Search for anything you like.

3. Paste the following code in the addressbar of your browser:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval(’A()’,5 ); void(0)

4. Hit Enter.

5. Feel entertained for about a second, then wonder why you wasted time doing this :-)

“Unbaking” a Cake March 2, 2007

Posted by atharkhan in : Humor, Personal, Tech , add a comment

I used to work with a guy who had the greatest analogies. Every time we were about to work on a server, he would say “Remember, you can’t unbake a cake.”

This was his way of highlighting the importance of planning and beta testing before making a change to the production environment.

The concept applies to regular life as well. Before you open your mouth, remember “you can’t unbake a cake.” Well… let’s just say… I baked the biggest cake in history this Wednesday that desperately needs to be unbaked.

Luckily with humans there is an option of restoring from a backup, doing a rollback and clearing edits.  In other words, the concept of “forgiveness” may help unbake this one … over time.
