India’s Telecom Space – A Case Of Lofty Targets & Inflated
2009-11-12 07:58:00 There are targets and then there are targets! Some targets make you smile and some targets make you wonder. Now dont get me wrong.. I may be sarcastic and a cynic sometimes but by and large I feel very bullish about the Telecom space in India. But it pains me when I see a larger than life picture being painted about the space. It pains me when I see Internet penetration numbers being inflated and multiple numbers floating in the market only to add to the confusion. Infact offlate a lot of people have been stating that the 500 million odd mobile subscribers are infact inflated due to dual sims and unutilized sim cards. Now it seems even 3G is starting to have lofty targets and claims. BSNL Punjab Telecom Circle Chief General Manager P K Paliwal has said “I think acceptance will increase exponentially when the services are available across the state.We expect to add 95,000 3G customers by March 2010.†Now this consider this: BSNL has been able to garner only 5000 3G subscribers s...

Autumn Equinox 2009: two new sunpots
2009-09-22 22:56:00 Space Weather News for Sept 22, 2009NEW SUNSPOTS: In a year when the sun has been utterly blank 80% of the time, the sudden emergence of two large sunspots in a single day is a noteworthy event. Today is such a day. NASA satellites and amateur astronomers are monitoring a pair of growing sunspots, both apparently members of long-overdue Solar Cycle 24. The emergence of these active regions is not enough to end the deepest solar minimum in nearly a hundred years, but they do represent a significant uptick in solar activity. Check SpaceWeather.com for images and updates. SEPT EQUINOX: Today, Sept 22 at 2118 UT (5:18 pm EDT), the sun crosses the celestial equator. This event marks the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern hemisphere. It's also the beginning of aurora season around the poles.

No Space Left on Device!
2009-09-18 17:26:00 About two weeks ago, my colleague and I had an issue with the /var partition on a seldom used Sun Blade 2500 workstation. Frankly speaking, I thought a simple fsck would suffice while in single user mode. Not quite. Anyway, we executed fsck on the partition and it "fixed" whatever errors reported. And while in single user mode, we wrote test files to the partition without incident. However, once we booted to init 3 run level, we still could not write to the /var partition, not even as root. That was a bit strange because df -k reported only 20% of the partition was used. hmmm...inode problem?? Then we looked through the logs and noticed a message about not having enough space on the device – in short, we ran out of inodes. Almost immediately, we suspected a problem with mail. We checked the mqueue directory and it contained almost a 1,000,000 small extraneous/useless messages from cron. We deleted most of them (after a few hours) and it resolved the issue. And yes, we got a handle...

Travelocity Buys Travelguru – Implications For Indian OTA Space?
2009-08-18 14:55:00 In what seems to be a first of its kind deal (in terms of size – though the actual acquisition price isnt disclosed) in the Indian online travel space Travelocity – the global travel giant has acquired India’s Travelguru.com which is focused on hotel bookings in India and Internationally.

Tips for living in a small space
2009-08-12 04:49:00 No matter how many times you measure, you always seem to think the stuff you have is going to fit differently than it actually does when you move in.

Here's what I would recommend if you're moving in to a place that might be smaller than you'd hoped for: 1. Go vertical: Two of my favorite pieces of furniture are my desk, which is less than four feet across and less than 18 inches deep, but has about four feet of extra shelf space on top, and my...
