IE7 can show two drop down components together

Okay above issue is happening really frequently and Im bit distracted, This seems to be somehow related with issue my friend Ravneet have posted sometimes back.
I really wonder, when rule says there can't be any two drop down s like menu's or combo all together even across applications than how come IE7 is able to show these type of dropdown all together in same window. Moreover, neither of them will go and you can't do anything else than move focus out and bring it back and problem solved, Okay yeah I have seen this issue in many others apps too ...

Best bit torrent client I have ever used

all time delicious

Whenever you wanna check for the most delicious site, you go to del.icio.us/popular, issue with it is that it shows the most popular links for that time, and never of last 24,48 hour, or say for all time popular, so here we go, so this dude xabi has created this populicio.us and there you can see all time popular on delicious, and there all time high is /. well honestly I didn't expect slashdot to be alltime high, as I never thought even its user need to add it to favorites, so surely delicious is not place for just favorites, but it is essentially becoming a platform which can be linked to dozens of different places.

Loomia , place to get/play good podcast

I am one of those who like to restict use of iTunes for pod synchronization only, and hate to make it platform and this is the reason I never till now downloaded any podcasts from iTunes(Even free ones) and rather was depending on odeo to download for me, and even I do download manually my favorite ones like venture voice sometimes, But recently I am getting addicted to finding real good podcasts using loomia, they give far better search results than old odeo and moreover they bridge one interesting limitations, some people really wanna hear them while they are behing proxy/firewalls which don't allow music file download, so these guys even allow you to play online those shows.

Moving to blogspot from my own domain

Immediately from now I am moving contents from my hosted domain sp2p.net to my own own @ blogspot URI, I have modified sp2p.net registry to redirect to long-wind.blogspot.com hopefully in couple of hours it should take effect.
Special thanks to Andy Quayle for providing me hosting for past 1 year.

Weired taste : green iguana as pet ?

Just now I was going downstairs to buy hotdog for dinner and a couple was already in lift, and on the arms of the man was the pet which I never understand how and why people keep, it was green iguana and his wife was serving him(pet) the small green leave and he was happily resting there and munching it, but it was kinda weired site for me, I was like moving in lift and sticking to life wall to make sure that no way I touch this guys arm and in-turn his pet.

Things that are making me insane

--> Highest priority is that I need to stop/reduce driving, I am driving like 4000kms in a month
--> I need better connectivity, My apartment wifi is not enough for me now, I need my own personal pipe and I am surely going to get once back from vacation
--> Enough for early morning iron'g, I am almost at edge of getting mad bcz of this problem, I need a maid to do this.
--> I need a maid to do house cleaning as well, enough of weekend cleaninig, I am giving up.
--> And right now I need a vacation badly and good thing is that I am going this weekend on one.

Google talk looks neat

Blogosphere is hot about google talk and just now I get this msg on exodus

Vacation time again

This coming saturday I will be starting my 2 weeks long waited(7 months) vacation, and yeah I am really looking forward for it, I am going my home town Jaipur and do plan to spend most of the time there only though at the same time plans I have to drive around country side too, I usually work-out more busy during my vacations than normal routine, indeed sometimes on my visit to home I cut my sleep time too to take those few extra hours to use, nahh I am not the one who think vacation is for sit around and sip martini, but rather go terrains and do that extra which usually one is not able to do during his routine.
So yeah, lemme know who all will be present in Jaipur/Delhi between 27Aug to 11Sep, and maybe we can arrange a nice meeting and sip martini :-)

To IE7 Dev team, Why will you not maintain even M$ GUI standards

Slashdot sometimes back reported that some chief guru of windows called IE7 as cancer, well the reason was because IE7 don't follow standards and even failing the basic test www body for browser compatibility, I was waiting from long time to rub my hand over it, Yesterday nite I atlast I got that anyhow, thanks to Ravneet. And it really surprised me to see that now Microsoft will not even follow there own standards, from years it is being practise that to close a document in MDI we need to use hotkey ctrl+4 to close the window, but IE7 will get close by ctrl+W, and not by standard key, yes technically IE7 is not MDI but to naive user it is MDI application and will remain so, and every1 on this planet is going to waste few seconds in learning this hot key, and not only this, now Alt+F --> C will not close browser too but Alt+F --> X, so lot of current automated web tests will also fail and organization will put lot of efforts solving this issues, Sometimes I feel this all might be intentional by company, reasons can be a dozen which really might make sense though only to them.
