Gmail’s Chat gets invisible mode!
People should have been waiting only too long for such a wonderful stalking tool and now Google’s yet again satisfied them. 
Gmail’s Chat module now has Invisible mode in it while the GTalk client still doesn’t have it. (Do they even actively develop the desktop version of it?)
Screens:
Nice addition, now its time for me to *poof* Ninja style.
Random stuff yet again
Discovered that PowerISO has a free Linux CLI tool for opening .DAA (Direct Access Archive) files and allowing conversion to other formats as well. Can be downloaded and installed from the .tar.gz package available at their website here or click here for a direct download! 
College’s been pretty hectic, or I instead have been very lazy since my last blog post (27th January). 
Other stuff am trying these days are problems, both old and new, from IIT-K’s Bitwise (Of course, in Python!). I did try the still-alive Krypton but I got fed up of it at the 6th level, lost my touch I guess. 
Also trying to learn nasm bit by bit (Pun intended) but I can’t be an avid user of it any time soon, its hell mighty! .Net is going into my brains too, as my College’s Lab projects require it. IMO .Net’s pretty good to use, with its heavy abstraction, its very easy to build stuff with it. Strictly NO for efficient applications though. Its a dependency hell (sort of) too but thats okay with me.
Well thats all for now, more on what movies, etc I’ve seen, later! Darn records.
