Bringing in the goodness

A kitten at home means an endless supply of (the most unexpected and unwelcome) goodies.

[[Chloe is a 2.5 months old female calico kitten. This is the tale of her kitty awesomeness]] / [[Chloe walks out of the home to outdoors. There is green trees, plants and clear sky in the cat's background]] / [[The kitten comes back with a dry leaf in her mouth]] / [[The cat drops the leaf on the mattress under the stairs, which is orangish and the mat is purple. ]]] / [[Now the cat is devouring the leaf, tearing it apart all over the floor, and muddling up the mattress]] / [[The kitten is now beside the numerous shreds of leaves and a folded up mat, licking herself clean]] / Author: Chloe, why do you have to bring leaves all the way from outside just to devour it inside the house? / [[Now the author is in the frame, in specs and blue attire]] / Chloe: Because I believe that a cat, even a cat living in such luxurious, splendid, and safe conditions should experience a touch of nature

A dry leaf left on the mattress under the stairs has been accepted as the symbol of Chloe throughout the home

The touch of nature splattered all over the floor for me to clean up

Chloé comic goes to Cats, Beavers & Ducks ^^

Coding with the Cat

Chloé, my dearest kitten, this is a tribute to all your 'technical' contributions. Thank you.

(Chloe) Chlo?, my dearest kitten, this is a tribute to all your technical contributions. Thank you. / / BEFORE CHLOE / Guy (author) in specs and blue t-shirt sits in from of his vaio lap top. He types in a structured code of a for loop and its inner contents. / ANNO GATTO (Year of the cat) / Chloe stands on the laptop keyboard. Random letter gets typed after the starting for clause, eventually switching the language to Japanese. The Japanese words read to Give me the Fish / Author: Chloe, NO! / Kitten: Meow

She even uses some shortcuts occasionally, and some of those I haven't figured out myself!

Although Chloé do this during every other work, 

it is most destructive while codinghlsa--^%aakkkk===

My regrets were once my dreams

[[Mountains and blue sky in background]] / et: Live today like it is your last day? / et: ABSOLUTE NONSENSE / et: echo, what if you knew you were going to die tonight? / echo: Um, live the day fully? Be nice to everyone, do the rhings I always wanted to do- / et: NONSENSE! / et: When you know your death is so immediate, you'll essentially be overcome by fear of death. You would be so paralyzed by this fear that you won't be able to do things even at your normal activity level. So we can't live like this is- / echo: et, it just tells us to make sure we don't have any regrets when we're finally gonna die / et: ... / [[LATER, et is at the doctor. Anatomy of human head, brain, skull with nerves and blood vessels in background]] / Doctor: et, you've been diagnosed with brain cancer. I'm sorry, but you most probably be living only a few more days / et: Wh.. What?! / Doctor: I do hope you've enjoyed every wonderful thing in your life so far / et(thinking): I'm going to die as a person who never read Harry Potter / {{bottom text:It is Miss.K who (perhaps indirectly) motivated me to start reading Harry Potter. This comic is dedicated to her today, on her birthday. / Happy Birthday, and thanks for getting one regret out of the way}} / {{title:Here lies et, who thought Wingardium Leviosa was a garden herb. His entire life.}} / {{tags:J K Rowling}}

Here lies et, who thought Wingardium Leviosa was a garden herb. His entire life.

It is Miss.K who (perhaps indirectly) motivated me to start reading Harry Potter. 

This comic is dedicated to her today, on her birthday.

Happy Birthday, and thanks for getting one regret out of the way ^_^

But all of us have many wants

[[An 8 weeks old calico kitten (Chloe) is hiding under a red velvety blanket with only her face shown]] / My reflection on Plato Complete Works is that / they fell off the shelf by themselves

No I'm not hiding, because Courage is knowing what not to fear

Curiosity under constraints

[[A quadratically increasing curve with P on y axis and time on x axis]] / p=No. of items bookmarked till date to be read later/No. of bookmarked items read during the day / {{bottom text:P can be generalized as, / P = (Procrastination x Curiosity to learn) / (Actual learning)}} / {{title:Thanks to all those Firefox quick-bookmarking plugins without which the steep graduation towards the end of the curve wouldn't have been possible}}

P can be generalized as,

P = (Procrastination x Curiosity to learn) / (Actual learning)

Return to fricking innocence

Here is a guest comic by my younger sister. The new character is emi, et's little sister. She designed the character herself. Or should I say, she designed the hair? ;)

[[et sitting in his study working on the laptop;rubik's cube on the table]] / emi:Happy B'day et / emi:I have a surprise for you / et: Where? What? / emi: Any guess? / et:I am really busy. Just tell me. / et:Otherwise just go.. / et: Where are you? / et:What are you doing? / et:Oh no.. time machine / [[emi is standing inside a blue timemachine]] / emi:Yes I am going BACK / emi: The old days.. with fun, surprise.. no busy work, no projects / emi: Those innocent smiles, silly fights. I don't want to be like this. I don't want you to grow up. / et:No, don't do this. You can't be a child all the time.. you have lived all these years.. now it will be stupid to go back.. you are going to complete your studies.. / emi: Studies.. degree.. uff.. you can't stop me with all these.. I should go / et: Ok.. at least wait till I cut the cake / [[emi jumps out of the time machine in excitement]] / emi:Is that a chocolate cake??! / {{bottom text:Did your inner child hop down with emi? Then you're lucky :smile:}} / {{tags:childhood, children, kids, innocence, chocolate, cake, birthday, growing up, time travel}}

Did your inner child hop down with emi? Then you're lucky :)

The Experiment

[[et and elvis standing in open air, green pastures and purple mountains in background]] / et:You are so mean and selfish, elvis / et:I have INTERNET FRIENDS more understanding than you / elvis:Like Merlin? / et:Yeah like Merlin. She's so sensible, helpful.. / elvis:And she loves painting and shares Internet videos with you.. / et:Yes, and- / et:WAIT! How do *you* know her?! / elvis:et, Merlin is actually.. *me*. I've always been curious about the Internet habits and online relationships and usage of the word 'awesome' among humans. Merlin was an experimental profile in that regard. / et:WHAT? You mean *you* were chatting with me today morning? / elvis:Yes / et:And *you* sent me that link of Non-stop Nyan cat?? / elvis:Yes / et:It was AWESOME! / {{bottom text:The dialogue in the second panel was originally part of the first panel. Soon I realized it deserved a panel of its own. Thanks for making the Internet worth wasting our time on}} / {{bottom text: Non stop nyan cat link:nyan.cat}} / {{tags:nyan cat, internet, rainbows, kittens, alien, one eye}}

The dialogue in second panel was originally part of the first panel. Soon I realized it deserved a panel of its own. Thanks for making the Internet apparently worth wasting our time on.

For those who are still missing out: non-stop nyan cat

Related notes:

The one eyed alien has been in the comic since the very first entry. He reappeared in another comic after a long time, but speaking an alien language.

Things seem to be going well for him, now speaking the native language and with a name of his own - elvis. :)

That is not possible. Its just that you're imagining too much. Look at me, I'm quite cool even after your weird description about lizards! / [[et sweats as a number of lizards crawls over his face]] / BUT IN REALITY.. / et(thinking):Mind, STOP imagining / et's mind:No / et(thinking):Fine! / Happy Blogversary dudo / with love / et / {{tags:guest comic, reptiles, green, celebration, nature}}

We are ascii

I once judged a book by its cover, and it was awesome!

This comic is best viewed in Firefox ;)
Finally, a comic that is made entirely out of ascii symbols and no actual images, and which is completely selectable. Every panel is made of simple HTML markup and css.
You can read about the thoughts and work that went into to this experiment at Teh Blog.
The comic is based on one of those texting sessions with Azra :)

In case of any difficulty in viewing the comic, you can always check the original file here
~~The comic has not yet been tested in Opera. Let me know!~~
