Everytime I watch this video and hear McElroy say "Let's go be champions, boys" it gives me goose bumps. Metallica's no leaf clover makes this video even more awesome.

If you have to do any serious amount of CFD work with Fluent you will probably do a lot of repetitious stuff, especially so in parametric studies with Fluent. E.g. if you have to simulate a flow and get the results for each of the turbulence models (that are available in Fluent) and find out which turbulence model gives better results. Doing this from Fluent GUI repeatedly would be really

Folks, The crimson tide has officially hit the rock bottom, by loosing to some obscure college in Louisina. As huge a bama fan as I'm, it's hard not to criticize the players on the offensive side of the football. The defense didn't look good either. Sure, we didn't have two starters on the offensive line, didn't have the running back that can actually escape tackles, but come on, this is

Folks, I've turned 25 yesterday and the only singnificance of it I can think of is the lower auto insurance rates :-). I'm not a big birthyday celebratin' kinda guy and I don't usually take the time to wish someone on their birthday (say, on orkut). So, I certainly appreciate all the b'day wishes pouring in on my scrapbook. Thanks to all those who did take the time to wish me. It sure made me

Scott guthrie just blogged here about releasing .net 3.5 base class libraries' source code , along with the release of visual studio 2008. So, now you can download the symbols from the Microsoft's symbols server and step right into the .NET framework source code while debugging. That means, there will be no more of, "Oh, crap. I don't know what the hell is gridview doing internally". This is

If you've seen the recent Nissan Altima ad on the TV, you gotta wonder what the song was in the background. Well, I did, and turns out the song is called "Pride and Joy" by Stevie Ray Vaughn (SRV). Ever since I first heard that song, I've been playing it all week long. if you are curious, go ahead and play the song below and don't forget to blast your speakers with it.

For the non .NET folks out there, there is a podcast called dotNetRocks which is very popular among the .NET community. I'm a huge fan of this podcast and any one who has been a roommate of mine in the last couple of years know that I listen to something (this podcast) as I go to bed.Anyway, They have an ongoing contest in which they ask some question and you need to submit the answer on their

Note: If you are not an asp.net developer, this post may not make much sense.When I was a newbie in asp.net, I actually used sqldatasource control on all my web pages. It didn't take much long for me though, to realize the problems with sqldatasource, which should be obvious to developers with any amount of experience. Sqldatasource control tightly couples the presentation layer with the data

We all know how frustrating it is to click through start->programs->.......to finally launch the program we want. And that's why this nifty little tool called launchy comes in so handy. All you have to do is press alt+space and u get this little box shaped window in the middle of ur screen.Now you can just start typing the name of the program you want to launch and launchy will automatically

As beautiful as the Telugu language is, it has a word that really irks me.The word is meeru , equivalent to aap in Hindi or vaguely equivalent to ya'll in English.The problem for me is, in Telugu, you ought to use meeru even if you are talking to just one person. Supposedly, that's a sign of respect and I fail to understand how talking to one person as if he/she is multiple people is a sign of

Arrested Development is one of my favorite comedy tv series of all time. It's about the story of a wealthy family of weirdos and the one son who happens to be normal. For the three seasons the show ran, it has received six emmy awards, one golden globe and a bunch of other awards. The show attained critical acclaim and a cult fan base.The sad part though is that for some reason, the show failed

if you are an NRI, you must have noticed the drastic appreciation of the rupee in the recent months. While it does hurt all the NRIs transferring money to india, I think it may actually be good for the indian economony in the long run. Let's go through some basics. Rupee appreciation implies that imports will be cheaper and exporters will get less number of rupees for their goods (unless

Joost is the next killer product from the creators of skype. Joost is basically free TV on the internet. It's not just watching TV though. You also get all the great internet features like, instant messaging, built right into the app. So, I can see myself watching a football game on joost while chatting with friends about specific plays. Joost is currently invitation-only and has a limited tv

I finally entered the blogosphere. Although, the enthusiasm died down quickly after trying to figure out what to write on my blog. A lot of topics come to mind but I don't know if they are good (or generic) enough for most of my friends. Hopefully I will come up with a real first blog post soon.
