Twitter added a search feature recently. In the spirit of micro-blogging, here are a few quick and interesting twitter search results:
Lahore: 15 results, Karachi: 35 results, San Francisco: 2038 results, Bangalore: 194 results
Translated into Twitterers (or Tweeters or whatever) per 1000 citizens (using Wikipedia), its:
Lahore AND Karachi (both have approximately the same ratio): 1 out of 0.57 MILLION tweeters, San Francisco: 1 out of 396 tweeters, Bangalore: 1 out of 27216 tweeters.

I just took a look at my 'FOR BLOG' bookmarks folder and was amazed to see the number of pages (66) I have bookmarked during August, with the intention to write about them here, but never got the chance. So, in an attempt to cross that task from my TODO list, I'm posting some of them here (minus the planned commentary/discussion/blogging) and deleting the rest. They should have converted into 66 posts, but oh well!
I need a break from all the copy/pasting now, and will have to split this post in two parts. So these are the things that have been using up my brain cycles this month. If you find any of the above things useful/fun/entertaining/offensive, do leave a comment so that I can justify spending the last hour or so on this.
I hope you had a constructive Indie Penance Day.
I read about HEC's discounted rates for the PTCL broadband for people affiliated with their institutes, and was going to ask my younger brother (who teaches at NUCES) to get me a connection, but it turned out that their ONLINE subscription form link is dead. Sad irony. Stripping down the port :88 from the URL takes you to a page with no information besides a login form, but since I'm not a subscriber, so its a Catch-22 situation.

Yes I read it.
No, it wasn’t anything exceptional, just a typical end to a boilerplate fantasy tale with all the right ingredients.
No, I didn’t spot any genius in the writing.
No, I don’t see what the fuss is all about.
Yes, I feel that every blog post (this one included) that has nothing intelligent to say should be considered spam.
No, I don’t want to hear about how bad your last few hours were while you waited for the book to arrive.
Yes, I’m glad its finally over.
No, I won’t watch the movie.
Yes, Rowling loves you.
