Happy New Year 2009!

One more year has passed by and the time has come to wish all of you a happy, healthy, safe, peaceful and prosperous New Year!

This is the time when one looks past on what has happened and makes plans on what to achieve and focus going forward.

And the best of luck in making up your New Year resolutions. As one of my mentor mentioned long back, you would usually be bound and emotionally attached to your resolutions if you commit yourself in paper by signing on the paper what you plan to achieve. Though most of my resolutions are broken in the next few days / weeks, I am planning to be different this time and commit my pain points to paper (maybe I can get a bond paper too, to make it really legal ;-)).

Give it a try. You might be able to hold on to your resolutions a little bit longer until it becomes a habit.

And no... I'm not going to publish my resolutions here ;-)

Battle of Wesnoth Been on the lookout for a free turn based strategy game and chanced upon the Battle of Wesnoth . Despite it being an open source game (meaning, you get the source), it was incredibly polished akin to any of the other turn based strategy game (Alpha Centauri), be it the background score or the graphics or the tutorials. The game itself is set in a period similar to the D&D or nethack era. For the film buffs, if you have read or seen the Lord of the Rings, you would probably be able to relate to the clans that populate the game world. The game play, as with any turn based strategy game requires background information on each of the units that you own, their strengths and weaknesses and a lot of planning (a kin to chess, but with a lot more parameters) where factors like day - night cycles are taken into account (e.g, humans fight well during the day, but the orcs are better during the night). It is encouraged to keep your older units as they gain experience and beco...

Going forward... Happy Diwali to anyone who has managed to reach this site! With this being a long weekend, by next novel that I recently read was NEXT by Michael Crichton, based on the new advances that are being made in the world of genetic engineering and the implications of their effects in the social world. Good read which changes the perspective of the darker side of generic engineering in the ever changing world.

Hypermilers... One of my earlier post glanced upon the techniques to achieve better fuel economy while driving. And I chanced to stumble upon an article that has expert advise and a group obsessed with saving fuel. Some of their techniques match mine, but most seems specific to highway driving and/or driving a hybrid. But with a little effort, these can be applied to city-driving too and you may be able to reap some benefits while driving through the traffic laden routes at Chennai! A point to note: Safety comes first, fuel economy next. In the mean time, I am trying to layout a traffic simulation application, where you can try out different kinds on signals (the regular contdown style, more intelligent ones that can sense the traffic buildup) and to find the right timing and location to ensure your car / bike keeps running. Will post the architecture / design of this system when it is done...
