Sad demise of Suresh Kumar

When my spirit was high in pain, I wrote "If there is a God, he must be a sadist!" and also added that in my Usenet sig-block. God proved to be cruel again, by taking Suresh Kumar, a great hacker, a good human being, an inspiring Team Leader who worked with me on February 25, 2009.

Suresh joined my team in October 2008 and have shown his leadership skills immediately around November 2008 and started building his own team. His knowledge and involvement in CSSilize.com, an online PSD to XHTML conversion website that we're developing was a great asset.

It's a great shock that a low BP or any unknown disease can kill him at the very young age. We have had a discussion on February 24th but a bad news came the next day--all to prove absolute vanity in life--and to prove "We live to die; we die to live"

May his soul rest in peace.

BehaviorS.js - An alternative to Behaviour.js, event:Selectors and Low Pro libs for unobtrusive JavaScript programming

BehaviorS.js yet another unobtrusive JavaScript library similar to Behaviour.js and event:Selectors but in implementation uses hash based lookup without extending elements; so presumably it should be faster than the rest. The original script and idea was by JLof ; I extended it for DOMContentLoaded support, optimized a bit to avoid scanning of more depths, and added new rules support. I wanted to document the plug a long time and just got time to do it. For the time being BehaviorS.js is available here Update (2006-09-11) : Coralized the link to BehaviorS.js so as to save the load on free brinkster.com webpage Update (2006-09-27) : If the coralized link to BehaviorS.js doesn't work, use http://www21.brinkster.com/guideme/BehaviorS/

Bookmarklet: Mozilla/Firefox unicode rendering bug

Bug #270012 is long time opening in Firefox and got bunch of duplicates. Tamil and other Indian texts are getting broken on "text-align: justify;" Fix #270012 The above bookmarklet can be used on such broken pages to fix rendering and I've been using it for a long time. Though there is a Greasemonkey script available, I still prefer my bookmarklet as it is tidy.

RTaKeyman Bookmarklet v2.0

RTaKeyman The above bookmarklet is for English to Tamil transcription. This should work like a Input Method Editor on web page forms. The first version I tried didn't work well and so this bookmarklet version. Version 2.0 2004-12-27 1.0 2004-12-12 Usage Make a bookmarklet with the above link. Point to a web page where you want to enter Tamil characters and click the bookmarklet. This will initialize the keyman for that page. Then start typing on the forms; RTaKeyman will transcribe the characters whenever it sees a space, carriage return and tab. To-do Turning on/off keyman (i.e., to enter both Tamil and English). Help and other user interfaces. Credits Sundar for informing the necessity and for being a beta tester
