Negative Reviews
Recently I encountered two situations where in spite of the huge number of negative reviews surrounding the companies, the outcome of my interactions with the companies were surprisingly positive.
Case 1-
When I bought my ViewSonic Monitor there were a lot of customer feedback on online forums frequented by me that the customer service was terrible and there were huge delays in case of RMA...

Lending Libraries in Bangalore
Well recently I saw a “Deal” on Snapdeal.com for a trial subscription to JustBooks, which is a prominent Lending Library in Bangalore.The deal offers unlimited books for a period of one month one at a time for Rs150 ,this in comparison to Eloor Libraries plan of taking 1 book at 10% of the price of the book seemed too good to be true.Also the hassle of commuting to Infantry Road could...

I was initially planning to get a microSD card for my NAS but I think a 2.5” HDD makes more sense in terms of Price per GB.

Google has very memorable IP addresses(8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) but for the time being I will be sticking to Comodo DNS due to the low ping times it gives me from my current location.Its worth remembering the IP Addresses though in case you are looking for a quick fix to DNS issues.Here’s a very interesting post from their primary competitor OpenDNS.

Quite a useful link to add to your bookmarks especially if you want to add a tracker to a torrent before loading it into a device like this whose interface has no easy way to add trackers.Wondering what tracker to add this might be a good start.
"Run one-eleven"(Part 2)
This is a continuation from here .So the wireless order taking project did not seem to head anywhere and I was having way too much free time for my own good.So I decided to spend the time wisely by obtaining a certification from Oracle since I am terrible at classroom learning,the best plan of action was to obtain the material required for learning and studying for it independently the material...

I would never have guessed sales of $10 Million for SparkFun that is huge.I think its time to have places like The Hobby Shop in colleges here maybe a common one for a set of colleges would also work there is a huge potential left untapped we really need to ensure we learn by doing rather than by committing stuff to memory .

"Run one-eleven"(Part 1)
Well its been a long time since I posted here, to be very honest there wasn’t anything very interesting to point to or talk about that I came across recently other than Card No. 111, which is very apt for the situation I am in.Writing something everyday does require tremendous amount of dedication,I was foolish enough to think that it was something I could pull off real easy.Its been close...

Coding Horror (All Programming is Web Programming) →
I totally agree with Jeff Atwood on this,Web Programming just makes maintenance and prototyping of applications so much more simpler also the code is more reusable and without doubt more portable.If you consider the case of a standard application like say a Invertory Control System most of what can be acheived by a classical programming language can also be acheived using say a combination of...

I was recently looking at this collection of time use survey and was pretty amazed at the data collected and the organization of the data.Do try out the age groups and various employment status options.65+ people sure do get a lot of thinking done.I think I will do a personal graph just to know where all my time goes
