Last week I noticed two interesting posts at Adverblog. One common communication directed towards probably a new set of consumers: technosexuals. I think till sometime back only those into hardcore programming or gaming were called “computer geeks”. And typically computer and other related stuff was being marketed at them but now I guess lifestyle and [...]

I just settled into my new job at Mudra. Of course there was no firefox on the machine I was assigned, so I spent quite some time installing the browser and it’s necessary plug-ins, extensions, greasemonkey and it’s scripts I am so used to. During this process I was wondering if there was a way [...]

A few days back I was checking if there were spell check plug-ins available for WordPress. In the search I found an interesting article which told me about how the Google toolbar has a spell-check feature which works pretty well in the “Write Post” textbox too. So I tried it and it seems fine. For [...]

Long weekend holiday, so I spent some good time surfing around and added two new blogs to my Google Reader list. ContentSutra Bumped into this website when I was exploring career opportunities in the internet/digital advertising area. Lots of news updates and the comment activity is also very interesting to monitor. Recommended reading for those [...]

After searching for long and even experimenting with a few programs, I found a real neat and small application which lets me track the battery level in my imate JAM without eating away too much screen space and also loading extras which I really don’t want to have.

The connection is not bad and I am happy because it’s strong enough in those zones where I am likely to be using the laptop most often. The [...]

A while ago I looked at the spam mail I was getting into my Inbox. Take a look at some of the Subject lines. They have got a bit smarter over the time. Rather than bombarding the mail with typical words like “sex” “penis” “vigara” etc. They are crafted as an e-mail with some really [...]

I hate it when I can’t blog more frequently than I have been currently. It’s been crazy. After a activity filled one month of holiday/break/marriage celebrations, I have got back to work. It’s been a slow start but feels nice to be back in the middle of all the action. Meanwhile I continue my effort [...]

From the many of the wedding gifts I received – this is one gift I have been very excited to use. My new cellphone – the imate JAM. It’s not even a week since I have used it but it’s been a good tool so far. Although the camera is disappointing I am very happy [...]

I spent sometime updating my songlist on iPod. Going further I wanted to see how videos can be played too. It seems it’s not as simple as drag and drop because the iPod plays only MPEG-4 or MOV files, which means converting most of the video files I have on my hard disk and only [...]
