    The Fitness Thread !

    I've been trying the short but intensive burst workout style (HIIT). This is what I've been doing for the past 2 months, 3 days a week: 12 burpees (all the burpees are with a pushup, and a knee-tuck-jump, ie. jump and bring knees up to chest level) 50 punches of shadow boxing. 7 burpees 50...

    The last Dexter episode almost ended with a superb bang. But I still get the feeling that it was a cop out in the final few seconds.

    Need help with a couple of javascript programs

    Were you able to get the download part working okay? What did you use to serve the bigfile.bin file? Did you set up your Mongoose server? Also, wrt the upload part... if you're going to make a POST to your webserver via JS, you're going to be restricted by the same-origin policy. That means...

    Just post the details and if someone can help, they'll post. I've been working on a lot of JS lately. I could try and have a look if I get some time.

    Holy freaking hell! Is that a pic from some website or is that actually your room? If the latter, are you looking for a roommate? :P

    Android Samsung Galaxy S3 - battery drain

    ^ Check your battery usage screen in the settings screen and see what's eating your battery. I had this happen to me for a few days - the battery screen showed 'Media' or something that was the most used. It turns out there was something screwy with my SD card -- it wasn't being read cleanly...

    Just finished Vikings. Pretty damn good. But the final two episodes were of surprisingly low intensity -- almost none. Guess they were just setting up for the next season.

    Yeah! I have this really really bad habit of churning through seasons in one go if they're interesting. I watched the first season of Spartacus in one go as well. I squeezed in 3 hours of sleep, but I still consider it to be one go. I just couldn't help myself :( If the quality of the...

    Same here! Watched 2 episodes last night. I had to force myself to not pull off a marathon on a weeknight.

    Guys, take it easy with 'The Sopranos'. It's not a show that you can just watch when in a rushed state, eg on the ride from home to work. At least not in the beginning when you're just getting into it. Try and watch it when you're a bit relaxed... and on your big screen :) Might take a wee bit...

    Just finished the 2nd ep of Dexter that just aired. The premier felt so so for me, but this episode sets up some interesting precedent and has perked up my interest. Can't wait for the next ep!

    Good to hear! I think I'll watch it next. Incidentally, the last series I watched was Spartacus. Just finished it last month. I didn't mind the blood & gore. Nor the nudity :) Damn it man... spoiler tags... :(

    Recommend some good institute for learning PHP in Delhi...

    Oh. So this is for the so called 'Summer training' that colleges 'encourage' you to do during vacation. We had that at my college too. They told us that submitting a certificate would be mandatory, but in the end no one gave a rat's ass. I still have my 'certificate' lying around. The summer...

    Over the past month, I've learned vim and am using it as my primary IDE and for all my editing. My god, the productivity increase (with the right plugins) is amazing. This has to be one of the best decisions I've made in my life :)

    I am also hugely skeptical of these coaching institutes. Should have taught yourself from good online material. I know some people learn faster when instructed by others, but still...
