Evon: Easy video converting tool

Converting video from one format to another has always been a thing for the geeks. Even the tools were intimidating for day to day users. Mac and iphone users have to convert videos every now and them to put them in their itunes library or sync them to the phone. Evon is a nifty little app with a drag and drop interface for converting video formats. Get it from:

Day of the broken iPhones

Yesterday was the day of the roken iPhones. Early morning Kshitij's iPhone got shattered as it dropped face down F L A T on the ground. There was no sound and after 5 secs melancholic vapors started spreading though out the lab.... After a few hours another student working at the same spot dropped and shattered his phone :)

The iPhone and me

Hi
After a lot of contemplating I finally went for the iPhone 3g. The phone as expected is awesome. It has GPS and unlimited GPRS from airtel. Plus I get push emails (I receive them the minute they are sent to me on my phone) which is great. Push email is something I have alway wanted. Here are some pics professionally clicked by Kshitij. Warning: Its a real Drool mal....... :)

Casual Updates....

So many days have gone by and I have been waiting to write something. A lot has happened since I last posted.A YES!+ course in campus. The course was a big hit and every one had so much fun. I remember something Bhaiya asked in one of the post course sessions which made me think a lot. We were eating Pani puri in Rave Moti when Ankur pointed out how magnificently the Pani Puri had been presented. Then he asked "Have you ever presented some thing so well?". I don’t remember the PJ that followed but you should have seen the course venue the next day. As the course participants were entering they were asking "Is there some special session today?" the venue was that clean.

My brother visited the campus and I got a chance to check out the iPhone 3g. It was in mint condition. I absolutely fell in love with the device. Though the differences are minor between the 2g and the new 3g but its so white and shiny!!! Plus it has GPS and a data plan which works on roaming. I have been struggling really hard to get the data plan activated on my iPhone. Also the rumors are true. Because of the new shape it really feels better to hold and work on. I must appreciate his patience because I really know how to fiddle with a device and test its limits.

A Reflection of the 2g in the 3g iPhone :)

I took him out to Tarka along with Rajesh Bhaiya and some close friends. It was fun to see him after a long time. We tried awesome new Italian dishes, names of which I still can't pronounce:)

Pavan's G4 on the right

Last week end I got to lay my hands on Pavan's Powerbook G4. Its always feels nice to finger around with vintage Apple stuff. Pavan would kill me if he reads this cause he sincerely believes that his G4 is faster than my intel duo and loves his machine. Ignorance is a bliss after all. Did I mention I accidentally erased his hard disk at 4 am in the morning, but then I remebered "There are no accidents in life"- Master Oogway

And finally today to celebrate children's day we went to the near by juvenile centre and I made a new friend Chandan. Later I cajoled the three babes (Avani, Divya and Zeba) to cook dinner for us and after 3 hrs of cooking and grocery shopping we had a great meal and lots of people to help finish :)
