Intelligent Explorer - IE
How? Let's take an example with Google site (try with any other or even complex URL as well). While the full address is 'http://www.google.com', omit the first letter 'h' and input 'ttp://www.google.com' in the address bar.
Result? While all other major browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Safari throw "Unable to recognize the address or 'ttp:' protocol" message, only IE opens up the Google page.
Ofcourse, it's as simple as to automatically prefix the missing 'h' in the URL that begin with 'ttp:'. But isn't it nice to see that IE can handle even such simple things?
Cool!!

Ken & Esther to climb Everest...
As most of you know that I keep track of the happenings on the great Mt.Everest every peak season out of my huge passion for the mountain, I've got a special reason to do so this year. My good friends and Mt.Chola expedition mates Kenneth Koh and Esther Tan are all set to begin their two months long expedition to Everest this spring season. Both of them are climbing from North side (Tibet) and when they finish that successfully they would become the first Singaporeans to do so from North side.
To say a few words about them, Kenneth is an adventurer, freelance writer, photographer and an ex-pilot from a reputed airlines in Singapore while Esther, who works in Singapore Navy, is also an adventurer, athlete and one of the top finishers of her grade in the recently held Aviva Iron Man 70.3. Looking at their hard works, trainings and determination, I'm sure they deserve all the good wishes on their attempt.
Good luck both Ken & Esther.

Earth Hour 2011
Earth Hour 2011 - 8:30 PM, Saturday 26 March, 2011
It may look crazy to switch off lights just for an hour in a year. In today's fast moving life, we are surrounded by electrical and electronic stuffs every here and there. Mobiles, TVs, PCs, ACs, music systems, fridge, washing machine and the list goes on. We have been contributing everyday much towards the carbon emission in one way or the other. Result? Heat is getting trapped in the atmosphere, warmness is increasing, climate is changing and the Earth is heading towards disasters.
This Earth Hour is an opportunity for us to realize the importance of nature and the environment. Each one of us has to understand our responsibilities towards the Earth and contribute something constructive from our part. Remember that Earth Hour is only an event to create awareness among people. Switching off the lights for this one hour alone will not help. We can and MUST do even beyond that. Many of us have already been doing that even before the very concept of Earth Hour was initiated. So continue your good work and spread to others.
Btw, there is a page called BEYOND THE HOUR where you can post your action in few words or see what others have posted about saving environment.
This action is one of the few contributions towards the environment from my side. Just go and take a look on what people have posted and what you can do.
