For the past 4-6 months, it seems that I have been surrounded by dragons (not in real life, thankfully). There is so much of it, that I had to put it together in a post. So, here goes, in no particular order, my experiences with Dragons this year:
Minecraft – one of my favorite games this year (w... Comment - Like

Everyone is always making fun of Facebook about privacy and how it doesn’t do enough to protect the users. Well, it was in this context that I saw this box on my Facebook side bar today:
Well, I thought – nice, so Facebook is letting people with poor privacy settings in place know that they can... Comment - Like

Apple may be designing the best hardware on the planet currently, but when it comes to software, they still have a long way to go. My hate for iTunes has been documented before. So, it is no surprise that I am finding myself writing again against iTunes.
I was installing iTunes recently on a comput... Comment - Like

Very recently, I saw a presentation where there were certain slides which were left for the audience to scan through, with little or no voice from the presenter. These slides had simple text which you would scan through, or most likely ignore as an audience. However, there was one small difference o... Comment - Like

Last weekend, I wasn’t feeling very well (and most of the last week too) – and I couldn’t concentrate on my work either. So I needed some mindless activity to distract myself – and because I had a bad headache to go with all this, I couldn’t resort to my normal escape of gaming on my XBox ... Comment - Like

While I have faced this problem many times, it was only recently that I got ticked off by it a bit too much. The problem? If you are writing a document, and you have non-English things such as Code snippets, or foreign language phrases, etc. in it, you will end up with a lot of red and green squiggl... Comment - Like

I have been back for over a week after a long trip out of home; I got to visit a lot of interesting places this time around and had a lot of fun. Here’s a quick log of our recent trip to Vegas, Grand Canyon, and California Bay Area. This was a family outing – Divya, me, and Aanya – along with ... Comment - Like

IE9 beta is available, and I finally decided to give it a spin. I wanted to actually title this post: Internet Explorer 9: the complete circle. Why? Because, it is a full circle for me, the moment I downloaded IE9. Let me explain:
Years ago, after getting fed up with IE, I shifted to Firefox. At th... Comment - Like

I recently got the bug to tinker around with Google App Engine (last night, actually) and then decided that I want to do this in Python (instead of Java which is also supported – maybe I like snakes better than coffee).
So, I downloaded the App Engine SDK, and then realized that I need to install... Comment - Like

I have always followed the concepts of David Allen’s GTD (Getting Things Done), and the various adaptations of it for years. I have even tried out a lot of these from time to time to take control of all the emails that I get every day at work (and I get a ton of them). No method has ever worked fo... Comment - Like

Google recently launched it’s own Public DNS offering, allowing Internet users to make use of their DNS servers for resolving address queries on the Internet. I have been a fan and user of OpenDNS for quite some time now, which offers the same service with many more options (as compared to Google... Comment - Like

This post is a rant. Yep, you may want to skip it. But just so you know it involves people who use extensions such as AdBlock (on FireFox) or AdThwart (on Chrome) to block out advertisements while browsing the web.
I have never used one of these extensions (never even tried it). The whole idea repu... Comment - Like

A lot of people around the world have wondered how they should use Google Wave. There has been a general trend of people first clamoring for wanting to get invited, and then not knowing what to do with the service once they get in. I am certainly part of this trend. The problem is that a number of p... Comment - Like

A lot of the readers of this blog are not from India, but if you are and/or if you follow the Indian comic scene, then you would have heard of Saad Akhtar, the artist behind the web comic Fly, You Fools!.

A couple of weeks ago, Google added a new feature to FeedBurner called Socialize. It is nothing more than a way to publish your feed items to a Twitter account. But in doing so, it has just threatened to take out TwitterFeed. Or at least, people who don’t do a lot of professional social media mark... Comment - Like
