I have been down under in God's Own Country - Kerala on a family visit from the beginning of the month until the 11th. Had I been vacationing I wouldn't have picked this time of the year to go there, but my grandfather was unwell and my mother...

I wish this past month never should have been, I wish it could have been erased somehow. Absolutely nothing went the way, I hoped it would in May. Professionally - Server crashes, hardware failures, security breaches, application vulnerabilities all marred...

"You've been a busy little bat, haven't you?" - Superman from Justice League/Cartoon Network - A Better World . Yes I've been and I think it's easy to say I'd continue to be for a couple of months more. And if it wasn't...

Last night I when I reached home and switched on my machine it froze at the BIOS OEM Logo screen. I panicked but only for a second as it all seemed all too familiar to me. Recent memory of a post on Scott Hanselman's blog helped me fix the problem...

Oh! The dreadful day of February 3rd, 2007. I'll never forget it. In the past 10 years that I have been suffering from Migraine, there have only been 2 occassions that I've had a repeat occurence within 24 hours. But I never imagined I would have to see...

The year 2006 has gone by, and a new year is here bringing new hopes & aspirations. Perhaps I am like billion others who feel the year slipped away rather quickly than expected, but this subjective perception of time does happen when you're in...

Confession: Despite saying on this blog that watching LOST is a waste of time, (hey I never said I didn't like it ) I have to admit spending my weekend watching the entire 1st season on DVD was the only high point of my extremely mundane fortnight...

I thought this was a regular Friday morning… You reach the office, you go through the emails and check up on the latest tech news before starting to work, like I've been doing for years. Not Today! Just when I saw the headline on Neowin - Microsoft...

How much time should it take to return to your normal routine when you've been missing out from it for almost a month? It will be 2 weeks today since I returned back to work after a not so nice Chicken Pox experience, but still haven't returned...

So I'm out of action for 2 weeks… since 28th of June (if you want the exact date) but who cares? Perhaps a venomous bite from Poison Ivy or may be it was the Joker? I don't know what is sad, the fact that I contracted it from Robin. Or...

There is a popular opinion among people (regardless of where they live) that life in a metropolitan city is indifferent of what goes in it's surroundings. The number and frequency of someone stopping over to help out or at least offer some form of...

So things are back to normal as I finally have a new box (a P4 3GHz HT processor, intel 915 motherboard with 1GB RAM and ATi RADEON x550 GFx card) but that’s not what I’m going to talk about. I just read Reflections on 2005 by Raj Shekhar...

I know I am running behind in my blog posts. I had so much to write about in this month, but for the past 2 weeks I've been facing problems with my home machine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to pinpoint the faulty component. I know it's...

I just realized that it's been almost 20 days that I've been able to sit down and write about anything! The past 2 weeks I've been involved in shifting the development server (running on Fedora Core 4) to an older machine, and I've deployed...

Steven Bink of Bink.nu reported yesterday that Microsoft.com is now running in ASP.net 2 (Whidbey). This signifies the imminent release of Whidbey & Yukon. This has again sparked off a yearning to brush up on my ASP.net skills, so I've set out...
