Caution: This is a piece that I wrote in Nov 2000 for the light-hearted journal of my the then employer. Its full of usual jokes and PJs and probably doesn’t deserve a read, now. So why is it being carried here after 9 long years? Well because Yahoo geocities is shutting its shop and these [...]

I normally don’t get too affected by moral sermons.

Ladies and Gentlemen! It's my privilege to host the weekly celebration of Bharteeya Blog Mela this week. And here is a formal invitation:

Chandru emailed me about this guy called Rohan Pinto who has his own domain and has been plagiarizing the blog posts, verbatim, without perhaps ever worrying about it. Now I can understand his urge to be a noted blogger when blogging on pretty grave technical topics but what could be the rationale for blatantly copying an innocent [...]

News paper giant Hindustan times has come up with a new ePaper concept. The catch is, it is a premium, subscription based content where they promise the replica of the print edition would be available online even before it would reach regular reader's doorstep. The concept is one coined by Bodhtree who are apparently servicing [...]
