So some guy has ripped off two of my blog posts. A friend alerted me to this in my comments section on Sunday, and I was shocked. I did a little investigation and found that this "Zaroff" character also has a WordPress blog, and - surprise surprise - my two blog articles are on there […]
So India is (almost certainly) out of the World Cup. Big bloody deal.
I love Indian cricket, and watching them play when they have a good day is really something special. What I dislike however, is the fickleness of their fans. Indian fans, by and large, are not cricket fans. They are only there to […]
Is it just me, but does anyone else think that travel sites are the wrong way around?
What I mean is that sites like Travelocity and Expedia are great and all, but they only offer limited flights and hotels. Basically the vendors who have signed up with them.
So if I search for a flight on […]
Buying a printer is just so damn annoying. How do you know which one to buy?
You could choose a dot-matrix, which is cheap to run but very noisy, and quite expensive to initially buy.
You could choose an inkjet, which is damn cheap to buy (some are sold below production cost), but then they […]

I’ve been thinking that PledgeBank is a great site to get free software made. PledgeBank allows you to say something like “I will pledge $10 to get a FOSS webmail back-up application developed, only if 1,000 other people do.” Then if someone actually did it, they would be able to collect the $10,000 pledged. The […]
Installed Ubuntu last week on my ageing P4 box, and I really do like it. It’s so nice to install something that is totally free, no costs, nothing. Awesome.
I have some thoughts as someone new to Ubuntu:
It’s so nice and easy
Wow. What a breath of fresh air. Such a clean interface, and everything is just […]
I’ve been obsessing about data backups these days. Since my friend got her Hotmail account hacked into and lost it, I’ve been really worried about what would happen to me if I lost access to any one of my personal webmail accounts.
So I have a feature request. Webmail backup. I want to be able to […]
