The new version of SikhiToTheMax has arrived. You can download it free from here.
For anybody who doesn't know, SikhiToTheMax is software that includes a fully searchable version of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Along with Gurmukhi, there is also English translations and Romanised script.
I was surprised to read that the original version of SikhiToTheMax was never officially released. It seems that everyone had a version of the software and every Gurdwara has it on the projector in the Darbar Hall.
Give it a go and see what you think.

Sikhi Games - Hangman game
Kids at the Gurdwara love playing 'Hangman' with Sikhi related words. Keeping this in mind we have developed a Sikhi related Hangman flash game.
We created the flash game using a tutorial from http://www.lukamaras.com
We have packaged a zip file with the source code.
We have made a few modifications to the game as compared to the tutorial. The first thing is that it automatically fills in any spaces in words and secondly the word is shown on the screen when the game ends.
You can customise the flash game in two ways.
All the words to be guessed are stored in an xml file called 'words.xml'. These can be customised and added to by opening the file in a text editor e.g. notepad and changing the text between
You can also change the greeting on the welcome screen by editing the file called 'guessword.txt' in a text editor and changing the text after the '=' sign.
This is a first version so your comments are appreciated.

How to get up earlier in the morning
During the last few weeks I have been trying to get up earlier in the morning.
Unfortunately I have been failing miserably.
The pattern seems to be as follows. Every night I tell myself that I will wake up earlier so that I can do things like Path or finish off things that I didn't finish during the evening / night. I set my alarm for 6:00am. During the night I wake up at various times during the night, usually about 3:00am. My mind tells me that it is too early to get up and I go back to sleep. Then I wake up again around about 6:00am. I look at the clock and think of a million different reasons to stay in bed. I go back to sleep.
I eventually wake up at 7:30am - 7:45am, just enough time to get me to work before 9:00am.
So why is it that I can't get up early to do my own work but can get up when I know I have to get up for my job.
I have talked about this with my brother and cousins (Nandeep & Juggy).
I think the main strategy is to get up as soon as you wake up, this should stop the discussion that you have with yourself about the pros and cons of getting up, and to do something productive with the extra time that you have.
The few times I have managed to get up earlier, I do feel much more awake. It is just that it hasn't happened enough.
Many people say that there is something special about waking up early. They seem to be more connected to God and the Universe at that time. (Between 3:00am and 6:00am is generally considered to be Amrit Vela in many religions including Sikhism).
If anybody has any tips for getting up earlier then please let me know
