A post: What’s next for Google! 5 things that comes to my mind made on 23rd May 2004 is making news now! Damn… I am good!

Recovered from the Hack Attack, what else is up?

Friday, August 27th, 2004

So, 2 days wasted in recovering from another disaster with another egoistic jackass Web Host, I am now completely on a single server. Which means either all sites are up or none. Kind of more venerable situation that what it was 3 weeks back. But at least I do not have any more assholes to [...]

Back to normal? Or so I guess

Thursday, August 26th, 2004

I am not a professional when it comes to web administration. In fact I am lazy. Don’t take regular backups, use stupid passwords. In fact now that I think about it, it’s a 10 minute job for anyone to hack any other of my website. And it sucks. How many passwords is 1 individual supposed [...]

It is a cruel world

Tuesday, August 24th, 2004

So, today another of my site got hacked. Again I was a bit callous and had backups almost 15 days old. I do not exactly lose as much as I lost when I was hacked last time. That time I had only one possible suspect for the attempt… Sify people because of my Blog which [...]

Indian MPs can surprise you once in a while

Funny things speculations can lead to!

I was reading this month’s issue of Outlook magazine which was largely based on the controversial concept of predicting what if scenarios. And one of the funnier what if scenarios discussed was what if India had successfully implemented the family planning policies and couples here were not allowed to have a third child… We would [...]

Of missed opportunities and idiotic trolls

Thursday, August 19th, 2004

So, I tried to check out new software instead of WordPress for my Blog. I tried my best to give it a fair trial. But well, as I already mentioned here… It was a futile exercise. Egoistic developers are a real threat to the beauty of the concept that Open Source stands for. And well, [...]

Looking back at my short and pretty eventful career!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

I just arrived back home from a visit to Delhi . And there I met some old friends who were still slogging out in my old company. This is apparently a big shame considering some of these guys are way more talented than for what they are employed for. And most of them are paid [...]
