Talking No joke this! Rajnikanth website really runs without internet


Quote:
It may sound like another Rajinikanth joke, but a new website dedicated to the superstar runs 'without an internet connection'!

Visitors to All About Rajni are greeted with a warning that "He is no ordinary man, this is no ordinary website. It runs on Rajini Power" and are advised to switch off their internet connection to enter the website.

Only when the web is disconnected, one is allowed to explore the site.

It's sad to know that the website just have a single page to explore right now, the "please check the internet settings" page.

Edit: Or so I expected!

Turns out, website (or flash) do run only if we disconnect from net.
Pretty good!

If you have firefox, turn on the web console, you will see that the site is continuously polling (sending GET requests) to:

[01:11:31.813] GET http://www.desimartini.com/allaboutr...xml?1751068794 [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 27ms]

This is the actual entry to the console. So, when you disconnect, the request fails and triggers the event to load the rest of the site.

Nothing extraordinary.

Out of the box thinking though. If not copied from someone else, then quite a genius of an idea.

@David: It seems Superstar knew you were cracking the website.

Nice idea though. He's got his unique reputation from his fans.

If SOPA like Laws kills internet in India,perhaps we may rely on 'Rajini Power' to stay offnet?

I'm glad it looks good and quite unlike ill-designed Indian sites. And cool concept.

Its not a difficult task for one to make a website like this who knows how to make flash websites.
But the thing is how it is implemented and executed
Many flash websites have been made till date but this idea of gaining publicity didn't came in anyone's mind.
This guy implement the right thing at the right place at the right time.
Really appreciate the idea and thinking of the developer.
