Local Alert: Burrp Mumbai User Emails Leaked
2007-06-25 15:31:00
I was shocked when I saw the newsletter email from Burrp.com, titled Local SMS Alert s from burrp.com. Instead of sending it one at time to each individual, they CC'd it everyone in the group ! This leak could've been goldmine for spammers and other internet marketeers ! could've been did I say ? I was further shocked to learn that there are only about 450 users registered under Burrp Mumbai ! Burrp is currently all about a local search for restaurants, bars, nightlife, street food, juice centres, desserts, bakeries etc - which is what this very city is built upon. The reason why this 'seems' so overly-crowded is because of the excess fat in most of the Mumbaikars (no offence, just a view). They're soon on the way to becoming Indian version of citysearch.com, listing Cinemas, Theater & Dance, Museums, Art Galleries, Spas, Salons, Gymnasiums and Book Stores. Food and drinks being the backbone of this city, a potential site like burrp.com could've done much better marketing...

RegisterFly's Owners Gay Relationship gets Business in the way
2007-06-24 12:32:00
"It's Nothing Personal ... It's Just Business " - That's Donald Trump's The Apprentice's quote that you find on the show.Its now a total mess for Regis tryFly, a fairly medium sized hosting company and a domain registrar having Michael Jackson as one of its ~900,000 customers. Started as a reseller service, lovers John Naruszewicz and Kevin Medina got their company its own accredited registrar status in 2006. And now, in less than a year's time, they've lost the status in March 2007. There was a bit of a chaos as it was rumored that Now, the customers' domains are being transferred to GoDaddy.Theres a blog dedicated to RegisterFly : RegisterFlies Mails from RegistryFly and DirectI are the only ones I had to set filters to move them to my thrash folder - so far !Almost 4 yrs ago, I had signed up for DirectI's hosting service and while it was in trial period for 3 days, I decided not to go with them and choose another hosting solution, as hosting in India is still pretty expen...

Hardware Fortnightmare
2007-06-13 04:00:00
The last couple of weeks have been hectic. MY 1.5yr old HP DVD-Writer is no longer burning CDs/DVDs properly. Nero keeps giving the error message Burn Process Failed at nx. The exact message error is Cannot Perform End-of-Disk-at-once. After wasting almost 15 HP DVDs trying to figure out the damn problem, I called HP service center to resolve the issue as its no longer under warranty. When they took the writer to their office for testing, they reported no such burning issue on their side after writing 6 CDs and 2 DVDs. I am truly running out of luck with this one, unable to find the fault on my PC - reinstalled Nero, updated the firmware etc. Even tried disabling the IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service. Man I wish I knew a hardware geek around. I'm going to keep the writer incase I do come across someone who can really look into it later. I've decided to get Sony's external sleek USB 2.0 driven model DRX-S50U dvd-burner. Sony has always been steady on external media sto...

4GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive
2007-05-09 14:33:00
On May 1st, I ordered a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro 4GB USB Pen Drive for Rs 1900 from Sify Shopping and I was expecting the delivery to be real soon as I'm currently residing in Mumbai city - the city where shopping is the prime business. Yet, even the 3-5 days delivery time wasn't promised. I received the pen drive today on May 9th !Anyway, this is pretty good deal for a 4GB capacity. I've decided to use this to store the data in My Documents > My Pictures. My Pictures is now linked to F:. Problem is that it may not persist as F: if/when more USB devices are added/removed after restarting the PC. Looking out for a way to map a folder to the device id instead, if thats any way possible - or something similar. If such a thing is possible, then it would be great to finally have many 10GB USB pen drives attached with each mapped to My Pictures, My Music etc etc.

Nitrogen

Boredom lead me to making this post today. Exactly 10 years ago, back in 1997 when I entered 10th grade we had an additional academic subject which was computer science. In early 1998 I submitted my 10th grade project called "Nitro gen" which was written in Microsoft's GW-BASIC for DOS. I did this somwhere in August/September of '97. Those days in our school, there wasn't any harddisk in the 80286 machines - we had to boot using our 1.44in floppy diskette that was formatted with MS-DOS - and run whatever we could that was loaded in our floppy disk. I think that that system may bubble back soon if a 100GB USB pen drive could be used to boot the PC directly.[ Strangely, I can't seem to get a screenshot of a DOS app with graphics in WinXP. I even tried graphics.com but in vain. The screenshot I got is one that I took long ago probably on a Win98 PC. ]The NITROGEN.BAS is the original GW-BASIC source code which required line number in increments of 10. The NTG files are the docs files...

Computer Science Lab
2007-04-30 17:15:00
I was in Coimbatore for the whole of April to take my university tests that I didn't take/clear during my college days in 2001-2004. Pretty boring when you're so used to sitting in front of the PC all day long and then for almost an entire month to just check mails in a café on alternate days.The college where I did my bachelors is famous for its Catering Science department.When I went to college this time to attend the tests, I found that two of the four Computer Science labs were upgraded to better machines (PIV HT 512MB RAM) and faster internet connectivity (2 mpbs). I remember the days when hitting F5 in VS .NET would take over 10 minutes to get it started and it finally became so frustrating that we were forced to continue to use version 6 of Visual Studio. Yet, these days hardly anoyone takes advantage of the new infrastructure, so I heard. A deserted lab with ice-cold processors now looks like a showroom full of brand new computers on sale. Over the last few years the deman...

300
2007-04-03 18:25:00
I recently saw 300 and the movie was just awesome ! This is one movie I wish I had seen with my friend Cibi who is an animation expert (heads the creative arm of a studio) and just loves to talk CG.Today, we prefer movies with superficial stories with animation blended-in that make it look realistic, yet an impossible situation and above all - an epic battle. The Matrix Trilogy is another famous example. With kind of creatures created in 300, no one really wanted to complain about the kind of impossible looking enemies the spartans had to deal with. Ultimately, it was the central-idea of "outrage" that took the audience by storm. Violence was depicted in a way that today's generation enjoys the most - Killdom. It just makes us want to goto the gym ?During my school days, I failed the history exam every time. Now Im on the hunt for The 300 Spartans which is a 1962 movie based on the same true story of the greek war. Even though 300 was inspired by Frank Miller's comic 300, the foun...

Adwords for Indian City names

Google has a Keyword Tool thats seems to be the beginning of the ending of Overture's Bid Tool.It has an interesting feature called Cost and ad position estimates which states that :Review the predicted status, average cost-per-click, ad position, and search volume values for ads appearing for your keywords.

Shoutmouth = Music Digg ?
2007-03-12 13:38:00
Site Review : shoutmouth.comOver the last couple of years, a lot of bookmarking sites have sprung up. Digg .com, Reddit.com, del.icio.us are some of the famous ones. All of them are general news sites which is a listing of popular links bookmarked by the community in general.A new and similar site called Shout mouth is following the trend of community driven websites. But this one is streamlined to showcase music news only with categories set to genre. I think the next wave of community driven sites would be focused on a specific type of news rather than general ones. Though still in beta, the simplicity of the website is what makes the navigation easy. No complex sidebars with flashy ads and the like which makes it difficult to differentiate between the main content and the rest - just the category index and the most popular ones and the news listing in the middle.This is one of the few sites that I've come across thats built on the Xaraya Content Management System.Though there is a...

2007 = Start of World War III ?
2007-03-12 11:46:00
Did you know about this ? Nostradamus has perdicted that World War III would be from 2007 till 2012. That means we are now in the starting year of World War III ! This isn't really all that hard-to-believe for we all know the chaos that was created in the last half decade between the Gulf and the US. But I still find it difficult to gulp down the fact that it would be in this year that a world war would be ignited. With the level of high-tech machines available that are capable for mass destruction, we'll be back to stone-age if a world war breaks out.There are many reasons for many to fear of an upcoming world war. Here are some of the main reasons.Iraq warIran's Nuclear Weapon ProgrammeIndia and Pakistan's ongoing fight over the J&K issueIsrael's tensions [ Arab-Israeli conflict, Israel-Gaza conflict, Israel-Lebanon conflict ]Osama Bin Laden's comeback ?With threats from outer space about comets and the like crashing into earth in the next couple of years or so - thats enoug...

GlobalWarming Awareness2007
2007-02-22 18:45:00
The US government party, The Democrats and its supporters will not be happy to find that an internet search on Global Warming Aware ness 2007 is leading to a pile of garbage. I say "garbage" because an ordinary surfer would be baffled by the websites' content that really has no relevant information on global warming awareness. Instead, most of the top 100 results (out of over 2.5 million results) on Google are all related to a recent SEO Contest called SEO World Championship. The challenge is optimize a site for the phrase "globalwarming awareness2007". And one of the rules is that the domain should've been registered on or after 15th Jan 07. Its been just over a month since the launch of the contest and a google search on the phrase "globalwarming awareness2007" already yields 1.33 million results ! Now thats a lot of combined SEO done ! This Q1's maximum revenue for domain registrars has got to be from this contest !The contest presumably ends on On May 1st, 2007 since its on th...
