[Just an old news I missed. Posting it here so that you won’t miss] I know many guys who complained that Gmail doesn’t give IMAP. They were complaining when Gmail gave POP for free for its GB inbox when its competitors were giving 5 MB box (one gave 2MB box) with loads of ads on it and POP or bigger boxes for an yearly prices. According to Download Squad, Google started giving...

The Weakest Link - How Would They Do ?
This post is going to be technical. Some truth, some imagination and a bunch of assumptions.
My first assumption is - There is a big company with a portal which is primary means of doing many things across the company. Every employer gets access to the portal which they would use for their daily use.
My second assumption is - The company turns new-technology oriented, and it starts it’s own...

Updated Blog Design
No need to explain, I found a great wordpress theme named iTheme from N Design Studio (Check footer for more details). Now, you are looking at it. I modified a bit of code and CSS as well. Created a sitemap XML, which is at its default location.
By the way, I inspired a friend of mine to blog today !!! He read my blog and found that there is no need for “substance” to blog and...

Good Ol’ Life
I was talking to a friend couple of days before. Because of my “The Road Not Taken” problem, he was already little pissed off that I’m about to take a decision which would prove that I’m scared of trying something new.
Leaving that aside, yesterday he saw that Safari 3 Beta for Windows was released (It might be released long time before, he don’t know about windows...

The Chronicles of Migration - Day 2
Lessions Learnt on Day 2
Don’t think that you are doing good by migrating your stuff to a non-free host - there is always a chance that you can go wrong.
Never buy Unlimited Everything Hosting Services which come for very less price. Be practical !!!
Never buy anything hosting on Ebay resellers unless you know the hosting service which they are using !!!

The Road Not Taken
The following is the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost which I saw in my school days.
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted...

I’ll give you all I got
If that’s what you want
I’ll give you what I got and more
But just see me through and through
That’s all you got to do
But don’t you dare give dare give dare give me
