I got the masterpiece article “How Browsers Work” through HTML5rocks.com. But wondering to find a printer-friendly version, or PDF of the article. ”Not found”
Then I followed the original articles link to Tali’s site to get that. “Not found”.
That’s why I decided to publish my own printing-friendly as well as reading-friendly “formatted” version of the great article. I didn’t modify the content of the article, not even a single word. I did only the formatting. That took several hours.
Here it is: http://bit.ly/howBrowsersWorkPDF

I live in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Now.
Today, I have suffered a lot for (re)installing the Chrome browser on my office laptop. Installer was downloaded,
but when I ran it, it was stuck in “Connecting to internet …”
and after a long time It showed an error message that “GoogleUpdate.exe cannot connect to Internet”
At first, I thought the firewall or company domain is blocking that. But after a heck lot of hacking, working around, I confirmed that I am wrong. Due to Bangladesh Govt. recent (but now uplifted) anti-Google policy, the outgoing traffic is being blocked.
So, the solution is to download standalone version which will not need internet to be installed on PC. Its about 30 MB in size. But, from where will you download this ?!?
It’s always best to download latest ones from here: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?standalone=1
or, else you can download it from my hosted mirror on Dropbox: http://db.tt/5pnQ7YCz
(Update) Please download the latest one on this link: http://goo.gl/NXrBz
If you download the hosted one, you need to check the security/integrity of the downloaded file, by checking the publisher when you’ll run the downloaded installer application. Like below:

- May 26, 12Stuck with your small virtual disk partition for VirtualBox? You created for some testing & practicing, now it needs space. I also stuck with same problem; researched many forums, and here is the gist. Find out how >>>
- Download Gparted, disk manager for Linux. It’ll come as an ISO file.
- Boot into your guest OS, check, with df command, which partition you need to grow. Take note of that specific mounted HD, such as /dev/hdb/sda3
- Take backup of your existing data, as I WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DATA.
- In host OS, Goto the command promt. by running, cmd.exe
- Navigate to the Virtualbox installation folder
- Execute command: VBoxManage modifyhd X:\yourVM_DiskPath_InHost\yourVM_Disk.vdi –resize 40960 you will see progress as below:
- Now, Load the ISO file to the CD/DVD drive of your virtual Linux
- Boot the Guest OS; from the boot menu, select CD/DVD drive, then it will be booted in GParted tiny OS,
- Now the PartitionManager tool will come up automatically, like below:
- Now shrink/Grow or Move your desired partion, but be careful. Don’t rename them and care about your data.
- Don’t worry, unless you clicked Apply, nothing has happened really. When you are done with moving and resizing, you have to click Apply to commit the change
- when completed, close Gparted, and then shutdown the OS
- Unload the ISO aka virtual CD from virtual OS
- Boot into the OS again
- Now, check that if the desired partition grew or not by df command

If you love to read news, or blog or magazine but hate to do it on your smartphone or tab …… now it’s time to embrace the digital readership. Here comes “Google Currents”.
Yesterday, I accidentally met ”Google Currents” and got curious. The description itself is hazy, not give the sense what it’ll do. But wait, how could it explain ? It’s totally new revolutionary way to engage your readership into fun. Just install on your iPhone or Android phone and see how nice a productive software can be. BTW, all “editions”(contents’ name for Currents) are free for this application.
You can get it right away here at Google Currents …
According to the developer, Google Inc., it’s
Beautiful, free, favorite publications for your phone and tablet.
Google Currents delivers beautiful magazine-like editions to your tablet and smartphone for high speed and offline reading. Editions are all free and include:
- Publisher editions – Publishers such as Forbes, The Guardian, TechCrunch, PBS, Saveur, and more have produced hundreds of editions including in-depth articles, videos, fine photography, slideshows, live-maps, and social streams.
- Google trending editions – Google Currents uses Google search technology to hourly build a set of editions tracking the five most recent trending stories in categories such as world, entertainment, sports, science, and more. Each story is presented through a fresh edition of articles, videos, and pictures,
- Your favorite blogs and feeds – Instantly, turn your Google Reader subscriptions, or any of your favorite blogs/feeds into a beautiful edition with a magazine feel.
Each edition is available for high speed offline reading, and provides quick-touch sharing. Google Currents self-adapts to differently sized phones and tablets, with your subscriptions synchronized across devices. Google Currents – a reading experience not to be missed.
Named by New York Times, The Next Web, SlashGear and more as a top 10 Android app in 2011.
But, according to me, it’s simply awesome.
What’s cool:
- Offline reading is possible
- You can easily check the trends, i.e. what’s goin’ on web
- Partitioning of the reading space that makes sense
- Awesome font rendering on phone/tab screen
- Already included some great subscriptions
What’s not yet:
- Integration of Google Reader subscription
- Why publication(aka markeing) of this great app is so poor ?

কোরিয়ান শেখার এক পর্যায়ে কোরিয়ান থেকে বাংলায় কোনো বর্নান্তকরন বা Transliteration এর খুব অভাব বোধ করছিলাম. Net এ অনেক ঘাটাঘাটি করেও কিছু পেলাম না
তাই আমার মত আম-জনতা যাতে নিজে নিজে কোরিয়ান ভাষার অ-আ-ক-খ শুরু করতে পারে বা অনুশীলন করতে পারে. তাই নিজেই একটা সহজবোধ্য Transliteration চার্ট বানানোর সিদ্ধান্ত নিলাম.
আলহামদুলিল্লাহ, বর্তমানে এটা (আমি মনে করি) Beta-release অবস্থায় আছে. কেউ এটা দেখে শুরু করলে একবারে যা-তা অবস্থায় পড়বে না, আশা করি. Image file গুলো Download করে Print করে নিলে আপনার সুবিধা হবে.
আপনি আমার ব্লগে পা রেখেছেন বলে ধন্যবাদ. এই ব্লগ আপনার কোনো কাজে লাগলে আমার খুব ভালো লাগবে. আপনার যেকোনো মতামত, পরামর্শ, গালি(!), বা প্রশংসা আপনি নির্দিধায় আপনি comment এ করতে পারেন.
বি:দ্র: যে শব্দগুলোর অর্থ আমার জানা আছে, সেগুলো আমি চার্টে (বন্ধনীর) ভিতরে উল্লেখ করে দিলাম.

- Try to give best “image”
- Don’t upload big image file(s). Else Craigslist’s own compression will make your image too bad.
- Adjust light and proper angle before you take shot. If the item is a outside one like car, grill etc., utilize daylight or evening time ambient light
- Take snapshot with a good camera
- Take picture from different angle. You can add up to 4(four) images. Utilize ‘em all.
- Re-size the image(s) with MS paint
- Crop any unnecessary portion
- Now, post on to Craigslist
- a blurry image can ruin your post
- for any crack/scratch on your to-, use MS Paint‘s circle, arrow, line, and text to CLEARLY SHOW that.
- Secure your privacy by giving phone number with some inside text like 2 Zero 1 – 255 – Three 5 Five 4 to avoid automatic reapers. If possible, use a secondary or temporary phone number. You may consider to get a phone number such as, Google Voice number, for free.
- Wait for the right customer, Don’t hurry & get-down at a poor offer; unless you have set an absurd price
- Try to give best “image”

She was closest to me, but you know, too close.
So years of fume was adding inside us
That time, all I wanted to go far, far away;
and I took my flight, in a rush, in a bright sunny day.
It was then, we, half a planet away from sight
I came to believe in life, and that, I took a wrong fight.
Each mile, into me and her, acting as a thorn,
and killing my self, grew since I was born.Now we are part in a far away, far,
Oh, my heart feels closer than ever,
Yer love, why, causing a gloomy tear,
Your silly naggings now music to ma ear
Yeah, mom. You & me are closer than ever,
just like my first six months, or the first two year …

[It's an draft copy, v. 0.2. Totally unwritten sections has been tagged in {...}]
[disclaimer: I am not an surgeon, doctor, ethicist, philosopher, or any sort of expert, and I am a fan but not affiliated with National Geographic Society. Except all quoted from the documentary, all other comments reflect my own current thinking]
I just watched a National Geographic documentary “Moments of death”. I am just describing its idea & my thought.
what is death? whom you will call ‘dead’?
A man with stopped heart-beat, a man with non-functioning brain, a girl who can’t response to any physical/worldly impulsion or a man who is totally out of his mind? Our understanding of the definition or the process of ‘being dead’ is pushing the boundaries…Do you acknowledge ‘soul’? Why?
The ‘simple’ physical process of cardio-vascular death is as follows. The heart stops pumping blood, the organs get shut-off one-by-one, at last the brain-cells, being deprived of Oxygen, raise ‘panic’ alarm, every element of brain-cell start fighting to save own-self and start producing toxic waste enormously, then each cell get self-destroyed.
Now, if you ‘shock’ back the heart-beating, give external oxygen quick enough, then the brain-cell ‘may’ stuck in ‘somewhere-in-middle’. The patient is now seems breathing, and heart is beating; but he can’t sense or response to anything, even you cut-off any organ without anesthesia. Its called ‘coma’. In this state, the patient is may be thinking, dreaming, or just ‘nothing’. Why not he is dead ?
{ purpose of Germany’s ‘house of dead’ was to avoid live-burial }
{ the case of the girl who totally went out-of-mind and parents wanted to declare her dead }
{ why peoples, ‘visited’ around death, see light or tunnel of light }
Is ‘soul’ really exists?
{experience of a ‘unconscious-and-tapped-eye’ open-heart-surgery patient who saw every steps of his surgery, even his own body and an unusual habit of the surgeon}{ the medical & ethical boundary of the definition of ‘death’ }
