Class 12th B Time Table 2007-08

I guess hardly anyone cares for a time table in our class now, but they underestimate its utility. It is a highly important official document which allows students to count down to the number of periods left for the next PE period. Or when to let loose that big sigh because a boring teacher is going to come along. For me though, it has been a faithful companion, which helps me decide my return schedule to class after missing them for various Code Warrior activities. It is vital that you return to class (IF at all…) when it’s a non-ferocious teacher’s period, otherwise you’re screwed. If you happen to screw up your math paper, and return after a CW meeting in Yemleda’s period, wish you luck in escaping alive. Which is why I’ve always kept copies through my 6 years or so of ECA; not that I return to class generally though (although, sigh, this year, till now, has been a different story).

Yahoo! India Maps review

Yahoo! Maps finally comes to India! And a real big void has now started filling up. Till now, the only major company that had an India offering was Google Maps. And then there’s MapMyIndia.com, which had a Code Warrior among it’s core team. Well, now you can add another one to the list – Yahoo! India Maps.

The first thing that you’ll notice is that it loads WAY faster than Google Maps. Similar to it, it offers three views – Map, Satellite and Hybrid (which is a combination of the earlier two). The searches, the correction, and the loading times are pretty quick. You WILL notice one thing though – the detail is much lesser right now in satellite view. Yahoo! does plan to shift to a higher resolution soon. Also, businesses and other features aren’t that numerous, and the map mostly consists of mosques and temples right now, but it’s getting there. Most localities I tried out found a match.

Yahoo! India Maps has started recently, so don’t expect any fireworks or much comparison right now, but I’m pretty sure that given time, it’ll be a much better product than Google Maps. Last heard, it was given 10-km detours for a 10 minute walk down the road in Australia for certain routes. MSN Maps is even better – in Netherlands it was showing some routes which had hundreds of kilometers of detour.
