Elgoog!

Hey! I don't really know how many of you have heard of this, but there's a site out there called 'elgooG'. Now, if you just cast your mind, you might just realise that the word 'elgoog' sort of rings a bell.
No?
Ok, write elgoog back-to-front. What do you get? Why, "Google", of course!
That's write, 'elgoog' is known as the google "mirror". The homepage of this site is basically the same as Google.com's except for a small difference - everything's back-to-front, just like you were looking at Google Home through a mirror!
I had, of course, thought of putting a screenshot below (incidentally, it's there right now but I'm gonna remove it to give you the full benefit of doubting my word - if i had put it, you'd just say that I'd manually reversed a screenshot of Google).
Oh, and, everything in the search field is ulta (hindi; wrong way round), too. You start typing from the right (big surprise!) - but here's the catch. Suppose I want to search for "Apple Computer", I'll have to type "retupmoC elppA" to get a link to Apple's website! Ha ha!
Ok, so how do you get there? Well, the url is http://www.alltooflat.com/geeky/elgoog/m/index.cgi, but an easier way to reach would be:
1) Go to Google.com
2) Type 'elgoog'
3) Click on "I'm Feeling Lucky"
An you're there!

contd;

So...today we had our science monday test which basically ruined my entire weekend. I anyway couldn't study that well (this happens when people our getting their house broken down one floor below you), but it didn't go off that badly - Bio was thankfully easier than expected.
After that we all went for the play - it's a "musical comedy"(the musical part of it gave me a headache and as for the 'comedy', either there was none or I don't know what comedy is) by Feisal Alkazi (some sort of guy who's supposed to be famous for directing plays but I've only heard hs name twice so far). Fortunately, they made us sit in an AC Hall which was a good thing, but unfortunately, the play was one of the most boring 2.5 hours I've ever had (excluding the speeches during Special Assemblies). It was called something like "The King of Kahanistan" or sommat and...well, I really don't remember anything else about it.
Oh yeah, about Divyanshu's question...I've been wondering Div, do you even know the answer or are just making us waste our brainpower for no reason under the sun? Still, I'm workin' on it.
About the popup tooltip-thing: well, it can be activated with any link, all you have to do is add the following code to your links:-


<a href="http://www.blogger.com/wherever_u_wanna_go.html" onmouseover="return overlib('some text to display');" onmouseout="return nd();">Click Here</a>

Voila! That's a wrap gentlemen!
Oh, by the way...Happy Friendship Day to all of you!
And Div, tomorrow when your school starts, is it a new term or a new session?

Thank You.

Newslet I "Blues"

Well, I've been quite busy lately so I hope my non-posting can be excused. Actually, speaking of non-posting, until yesterday, I thought you guys really ought to be dumped off (drowned is also not a bad idea). I don't know if you've realised it, but no one (besides the one and only, ME) has posted, commented or shouted on this blog for time immemorial. Anyway, as of today, Div can be excused from this process of being dumped - at least he bothered to shout something out.
Anyway, there's not any major news as such. On Wednesday, we had the ASSET exam (maybe you remember it, maybe you don't), which had the English, Science, and Maths subjects. It was quite OK - English was really long (they made us do a 70-minute paper in less than 55). According to me, science could be one of best, but since everyone else's Science went off really pathetically, I'm beginning to wonder if I somehow succeeded in doing everything wrong while thinking it was right.
Anyway, it's over and I couldn't care less until I get the results back (incidentally, the most unfair part of it was that both grades 9 and 10 got the same paper).
Meanwhile, for those of you who aren't' as recent members as Shiv (you did know that he's here, didn't you), you might have noticed some really subtle changes in the blog. There is, of course, a Shoutbox, where you can type short chatting-type messages. Besides, when you hover your mouse over the header (consisting of the, well, heading), and the titles in the sidebar (except contributors), a small tool tip kinda thing follows you around and shows you some text.
I'm also pretty irritated with you guys as you haven't yet chosen another title for our blog and so I don't want to make many changes till I know. Please, help and cooperate!
On Monday, we're going for some melody-comedy-play (or something similar) to Ashoka hotel. However I have reason to believe that they might just make us sit outside in the sun to watch it, which, I believe, is not a very good thing
I have to end now, got to study for science. There's more to tell and do so I'll be posting again soon. Very soon (unlike you guys).
P.S. (Div) - Do you have iMacs in your school?
Have you finished the sixth Harry Potter?
