6+ min ago (651+ words) Ever had that moment where a seemingly simple project turns into an epic saga? Well, grab a cup of coffee, because I'm about to share my rollercoaster journey of trying to recreate the iconic 1996 Space Jam website using Claude, an LLM (large language model) that I thought would make this a breeze. Spoiler alert: I didn't quite hit the mark, but boy, did I learn a lot along the way. With Claude on my side, I figured I'd just feed it some prompts and let it work its magic. I started off with simple HTML and CSS. "Claude, give me a layout that resembles the 1996 Space Jam website," I asked, expecting it to spit out some code that would be ready to rock. It was a decent start, but it didn't quite capture the chaotic spirit of the original site....

6+ min ago (362+ words) Published - December 08, 2025 08:17 pm IST - CHENNAI A cross-section of fishermen from Kovalam kuppam and neighbouring coastal villages has urged the Tamil Nadu Department of Environment and Climate Change to withdraw the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance issued for the proposed Kovalam Reservoir Project. In a petition submitted by village administrators, the members said the drinking water reservoir, approved by the Tamil Nadu State Coastal Zone Management Authority (TNSCZMA) recently, threatened to permanently damage the estuarine system that sustained thousands of fishermen families. A meeting was convened by nearly a dozen fishing villages on Monday (December 8, 2025) to discuss the perils of the project. They argue that converting tidal backwaters into a freshwater reservoir will destroy the natural salt-freshwater balance essential for prawn, crab, and fish breeding, putting their traditional livelihoods at severe risk. According to official documents, the proposed reservoir spans 4,375 acres…...
