Donated a meager amount to Wikipedia

Heleena is madly interested in charity works and after reading Shiv Nadar's interview in Entrepreneur magazine, it gave us some direction as he mentioned only Education can change the lives.

Been one of the early contributor of Wikipedia (13th or 18th Wikipedian, I hope), I've just donated a meager amount as it's a very good tool for Education. (In reality, these sort of things shouldn't be blogged (I know that); I just thought that it would let other people to donate to Wikipedia. Sorry for the noise)

When you are doing or done even small good thing publish as much as you can. When your are doing like that many people may scold, many people may jealous, many people may say you are showing off, but any one may impress and do the same. So don't stop to publish things like that :)

Dear Rajesh,

I appreciate your noble cause... But these days I think WikiPedia is exploiting its donors... There is no transparency on how these funds are used... See to it that your donation reaches the right hands...

Keep up the good work...

Anand
Thanks a lot, Mr. Anand for your kind time and heads up. I hope, Wikipedia will look into it. Thanks again.

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
