Clouds,
Dark and Ominous hang in the Sky,
White and Fluffy rest on the Hill.

Thunder Storm
Photos will appear soon... right here...
* lightning - stuck in a frame.
* bright as day - when it is supposed to be night.
* resting cloud - after raining all night.
* rainman - what are you doing outside the bus?
I wish I had the camera with me then, to shoot the "leaf marathon".
till then...
Q: Most essential accessory when you are out in a thunder storm ?
A: Sun Glasses!
Damn, it can get many times brighter than the day. My eyes are paining
from just looking at the reflection of the lightning.

Aadu-Puli
I built the game last night. Posting this after doing some testing & fixing today. The tigers and goats are from free cliparts on the web. Rest are all my original work. :) If you want to know the rules of the game and about many more traditional games of India, visit the KreedaaKaushalya Blog.
The game is in beta. The UI is symmetric and the board is not sensitive to which player is interacting. The board will allow any valid move. This also allows one to play both sides from a single browser window. :)
To place goats just click on a vacant spot. To move a piece click on the piece, and then click on the destination. The board refreshes itself every 30 seconds (to fetch other players move). You can also manually refresh by clicking the Refresh Game link on the top. It can't recognize when the game is over. So, when the game is over, close the window/tab to avoid continuous reloads every 30 seconds.
The game uses CSS and JavaScript to manipulate DOM on the client end, and PHP sessions at the backend. I'll work on optimizing the game, and on the UI, when I find more time to devote to this.
Enjoy playing Aadu-Puli. :)

been long time...
Back to work now, after
Tons of distractions, two vacations, ...
A dead phone, A new N95, ...
At last got a haircut!
Me about two weeks after my haircut!
Not a real post this, but just a keep-alive ping.
