Ever wonder what your favourite Sikhi site ranks as? Or how sites compare? So who better to ask then Google.

Google’s got this thing called Page Ranks, that basically sees how popular your site is based on who links to it. The more links you got pointing to your site the better. Also the more popular the sites that link to your site, the more that links worth. Put all that information through a magic equation and you get a page rank out of 10, on how popular your site is. So I took a bunch of sites, that I know from the top of my head and compiled this list:

1. Sikhnet.com - 7
2. Sikhs.org - 7
3. SGPC.net - 6
4. SikhSangat.com - 5
5. Waheguroo.com - 5
6. AllAboutSikhs.com - 5
7. Panthic.org - 5
8. SikhiToTheMax.com - 5
9. GursikhiJeevan.com - 4
10. AKJ.org - 4
11. GurmatVeechar.com - 4
12. DDT.com - 4
13. Tapoban.org - 4
14. EktaOne.com - 4
15. SikhStudents.ca - 2
16. ShindaSingh.com - 0

And just for reference sites like Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, etc, are 9’s.

Somehow or another I ended up on this blog, where they had a thing on Jasmine Singh, a NJ based, 17 year-old Sikh hacker, and I thought to myself, about time!

Although sources are sketchy on what exactly happened, I found this link where his crime was apparently,

According to investigators and court papers, Singh was hired over the Internet by 18-year-old Jason Arabo of Southfield, Mich., to conduct the DOS attacks against Delran-based Jersey-Joe.com and other online companies that sell retro sports apparel in competition with his own online businesses, www.customleader.com

So, Jasmine made a mistake or two, no reason to hate on him, instead lets give Jasmine the respect he deserves. At 17 kids robbed $1.5 million. Most bank robbers don’t even get that much. So the kid tripped up a little no reason to hate.

I remember back in ‘em turner days, when everyone was busting out the new comps and acting all fancy dancy, a group of us started sending people Sub7 and back orfice trojans, gaining full access to their comps and personal files.

Now if we were malicious we could have taken credit card numbers and done that whole thing, but being innocent and God fearing, we instead did what any Grade 10 would do, and stole their personal chat logs and sent em around. Suffice to say a few yard fights broke out, friendships lost, couples destroyed, some people may even have gotten hospitalized, but all that aside it worked out ok, no one lost any loot.

I think some people suspected us, but back then with the internet as fresh as it was, no one really knew how to book us, and since I had just taught everyone and anyone, we weren’t even an organized group, just a bunch of independent amateurs messing with peoples heads, no where in the same league as our friend Jasmine.

So I say let the free Jasmine campaign begin, after all he has more to fear at home then in jail, “cause somebody gonna get hurt reaaaaaaal bad”

Got this from the wired article on Best Technological moments of 2005:

Ancient telegraph operator beats teen texter in speed contest: A race in Australia last April saw retired post office telegrapher Gordon Hill, 93, beat the dickens out of a 13-year-old girl named Brittany, who was armed with a mobile phone and a pair of flying thumbs. Brittany used SMS shorthand, while Hill sent every character of the 21-word-datagram and still won by 18 seconds. Lest this be mistaken for a fluke, a similar contest staged the next month by comedian Jay Leno produced the same results. Meanwhile, the FCC is considering dropping the five-word-per-minute Morse code requirement for new ham radio operators. Maybe they should be making it mandatory for the rest of us instead.

So I went the otherday to look for new phones, and so I hit up Billings Bridge, the Ottawa equivalent of Shoppers World (Brampton), and go to the Wireless Wave they had figuring that they’d have all the Fido phones there.

So I go in, and start looking through the fido thing they got setup and the sales cleark (John) doesn’t waste any time in letting me browse and asks if I can use any help, and I was like oh no da doubt my dwami… and told him my situation and what I was looking for. Dude was like naw, your plan wont work, unless I cancel my current number and get a new account, meaning new number.

Then he was like well if thats what you plan on doing, then you should try Bell, same price, same plan, better service, couldn’t really argue with that, so then he popped out the phones, which he thought where in my price range.

First he pulled out this phone by LG. I was pretty impressed by the whole thing. The phone was the LG 325, and it reminded me a lot of the Matrix phone where the key pad dropped down. Really they key pad just slides down to give you more screen. Its cool all the same. I wasn’t shocked by it, but the deal he was working out for me was going to get me that phone for free on a 3 year, term. Also phone had blue tooth which I figured may have some use if not now, then later on down the road. I was pretty much set on grabbing this phone but then I decided to check to see if theres any flip phones available just because the Siemens I had was a similar design and I figured its time to change to flip, after all they look do look coooler.

So I asked him for flip phones in the same leauge and so he goes yea check this one out, and pulls out the Motorola E815. After some questions I decide to go with the Motorola, because it can play MP3’s and has an expansion slot, and well it just seemed like the overal better phone and with the same going rate, I figured can’t go wrong. So this my friends is my new phone. I know its nothing fancy dancy like Jasdevs old phone, but chhh, what you going to do, I aint no jatehdar yet.

So that my friends is my new phone. The screens huge. The features seem endless, and the navigation and all that well compared to the Siemens is well 100x better. But then again so’s the phones price and model number. So that is that. I got a new number also, so if your one of those people who I do give my number out to be sure to ask. Otherwise good luck in trying to get it.

Hun Akhooooooooo Saaaaaaaaaaaaaat naaam Sreee Vahegurooo Jeee..

The last cell phone I had, Siemens C65, was a decent phone, but sadly enough is no longer with us. (Actually it is, but its barley hanging on to life, since sports last Friday).

So now I’m on the hunt for a new phone. Considering I’m with Fido I’ve already got a limited selection of phones that are actually worth getting.

What swayed me to get the Siemens last time, was the fact that it only cost $25, and thats without getting a Fido service plan. This time around, theres not much choice when it comes to phones less then $30, without getting a plan first. (Chepeast I saw on fido so far goes for $50, and thats only with a new account). So it looks like I’mma have to subscribe to a plan this time around (I’ve been on a monthly term things for now).

The fido service hasn’t been as bad to me as it has for others, I credit that to the phone, considering others such as Jasdev and his $800 Sony phone had issues with reception from my house, back in Brampton. Although Imma be using the phone more here in Ottawa, I still want something I can use when I go back home in the summer.

So on to the choices. So Ive kind of narrowed down my search to these two phones.

The fist is the Sony Ericsson Z520a. Now the phone looks good and I’m willing to dish out the $75 for the phone, but what concerns me is, is it worth it? Sure the phones feature packed, has everything I need and more. Actually, anyone who knows me knows that it has more then what I really need, but thats beyond the point. Phone has good reviews, but so far all reviews I read about it talk about it looking good, being entertaining and just being stylish. Nothing I’ve read talks about whether or not it actually works, or what the reception is like, the most important category for me right now, and the one thing keeping me away from just grabbing this phone. (Why get a phone that doesn’t work?)

The second one I’m looking at is, the LG 2000. Now this phone just got shitty ratings overall. Everyone on the few forums I checked out just talks about how crap the phone is, when it comes to customization, ease of use and support, but then again its only $30 with the contract, so can’t be that bad. I really dont got much to say on this one. Looks good, has features, but from the reviews these features are just not implemented properlly.
Also lacks a lot of the features of the previous.

And the other options, I dont got none. All the other phones on the site cost to much, or are on the verge of ending up on the discontinued list, but if you see something that you think I should grab from the fido site then let me know your picks.

Chulloo the Raptor game started getting good, so time to watch that. For all yall in Toronto recognize and realize, that I’ll be back Wednesday.
