Three black days for India from 9-11july 2006

9 july) Agni III failure, well not really a sadness to me honestly as there is no urgency for it I believe.
10 july) Really much awaited Insat 4c launch failure. It was really shockingly sad as there are very less failure in Indias space programs, one of reason also being that they really move slowly and use quite tested technology.
11 july) Bomb blast in mumbai and that too on Mumbai's backbone(Mumbai local railway). This one really made me sad, But from this point one can imagine the pain of people there only, and these was series of 7 blasts occured between 10 minutes to put the complete system in total chaos and I agree that they succeed but good step govt. took and shutted down the cellular communication as it is pretty obvious how confusion and anger spread using phone lines and it result in nothing but more chaos and troubles in city.

Trying to focus back on PRS


This time weekend stretched more than usual 2 days and I had more than enough time even after seeing all new latest releases and my usual blog doses so decided to catch up something with PRS, From long time I wanted to modify script which we give to user and put there link of PRS, so that users know its source.
As usual test bed was Rav's blog. And Ravneet also played his role as usual and he cripped about more features and again told me Nth time how much he want to work on CSS theme for PRS.
Anyway summary is, I think 2 most wanted features in PRS are:
-> Atleast some detailed information about who rated URL, currently no such information is stored at all, I created meta-data and basic infrastructure to make this feature today morning while travelling to SFO downtown in caltrain and than back home after work in evening in bart.

-> Comments, it is big deal, adding this feature in big sites is real big stuff and months project, as there are dozens of issues namely filtering, etc even I meet few people who made companies for helping big corporate implement user comment on there site. But well, PRS I can add in by next weekend I guess.
Lets see they come up or no, they won't be polished to start with for sure...
