Excerpt: There have been quite a few updates since my last post. I finally replaced my stolen white iPod with a brand new black iPod without the laser engraving Somtime ago, I went on a short two day trip with a few friends to Zurich, Geneva and Interlaken Immediately after, I left to Bangalore for my annual leave till today. Basically, this post is a reminder service to get me back into the groove. But getting back to work is worrying me…Google still doesn’t seem to be done with its PR update and our main keyword positions have remained the same for the last few…
Updates Galore!
The Social Networking Conundrum
Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: A couple of weeks ago, my good old friend Sadath sent me an invite to join Spock, a new people search engine which collects information about individuals in a similar way as Google collects information about websites by indexing their pages in its central database. It is one of the many social networking requests which each one of us get every week. Just yesterday, I was sent an invite from another website called WAYN, an acronym for Where are you now? The Web 2.0 has certainly taken over our lives. We seem to be connecting well now. I have discovered…
From Reva to G-Wiz – The ElectriCity Car’s Triumphant Journey
Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: Last week, one of my colleagues at work, excitedly left early from work to test drive a mini-marvel. A environmentally friendly marvel called GWiz. Over the last few months we have pondered over making our business environment friendly. In fact we have even tested battery charged delivery vans for London. Although, it is a perfect option for driving around the busy streets in London and for avoiding hefty congestion charges, it didn’t work out. So, it came as no surprise to see Will, who reviewed our electric van trial, test drive a mini electric car for personal use. Back in 2004,…

Excerpt: After a tumultuous fifteen days after my order, Amazon the much celebrated book people, finally managed to deliver my books today. It has been a while since I last shopped from Amazon, when I had bought a book for one of my academic modules back in March 2004 and then again in December 2005 for one of Arti’s modules. I was quite happy with their service then. Not to mention that I am really pleased with their DVD rental service. But on this occasion, I had to order twice to get my books and I also had to write to…

Excerpt: Fate they say is not without a sense of irony Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus – The Matrix Strange it may seem, but just after I finished writing this entry and met a few friends for our weekly social gathering, someone walked away with my girlfriend’s bag that had the ‘apple of my ears’. My prized possession, to be sold to some cheap deal hunter over the internet! But in case if any of you come across, it is a white 30 GB iPod with the engraving ‘My girlfriend’s new job paid for this iPod’. ‘Hoping against hope’ I must say! Anyway, I won’t…
A Quick Update!

Excerpt: I had to write this and grab an opportunity to bask in the limelight among those who read this. But this whole installation thing messed up my post. Anyway, as I had mentioned earlier, I recently had an opportunity to write a guest article about the importance of buying ethically sourced flowers for an All Green Blog managed by a group of like minded people. The post is finally up and you can read it here. Also, after seeing Will doing most of the work on our company blog, I managed to write a first post for Arena Flowers which…
Demons of the Blogosphere!
Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: After four weeks of registering the domain and three weeks of setting up the blog, I have finally managed to slay the demons of PHP and Wordpress, which were bothering me with some real complicated codes. Of course, if you choose to run a Wordpress installation with minimum customisation, it is one the simplest programmes to run. However, as a novice in PHP scripting, I found it extremely complicated to customise the blog in a way I wanted to. Having said that, now when I look back at how I have struggled in these past four weeks to…
The Google World!

Excerpt: Today, Arti left for Tokyo for a week on business…while she is away, I thought I will put my mind to work and come up something extremely intelligent for my blog. But it looks like its a no go, because I am distracted with so many things around me. I have been planning this article for three hours now and these are the first words I came up with…EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT! Anyways, to drive it forward I recently signed up with Amazon for their DVD rental service, highly recommended by one of Arti’s colleagues. It is one of the cheapest DVD rental…
There is a THING in my pocket…

Excerpt: Sounds like an absurd title until you hear it completely. Not surprisingly, this is an ad campaign for Nokia’s new gadget killer, Nokia N95, one of my recent additions. To begin with, I am a gadget freak. I love all newly introduced technological marvels and go out of my way to gain possession of whatever is affordable. For the last seven years, ever since I started using a mobile phone back in India, I have been a proud owner of number of phones, including a Nokia 8850, 6820, 3110i, 9500, N70, Motorola A925, Samsung N620 and E720. But none of…
Dissappeared!

Excerpt: My over ambitious intent to unleash my creativity backfired. Instead of writing content for my next blog, I am filling in for a previous blog. I decided to tweak a line of PHP coding to improve the aesthetic feel of my blog, without backing up my database…result – My two hours of wordy comfort…disappeared in two secs! An inauspicious beginning…never mind, now that I have added blogging for SEO as a part of my job profile, I will have so much to write. Yes, I am blogging about the Importance of buying ethically sourced flowers for an All Green Blog, in…
