It really really really sucks when the base hardware required to run your software is not available at any retailers (online, in-store, HP direct).
After 5 days of searching, we can say that there are no HP Ipaq 2400 series available in the market.
The earliest we can get them is by waiting for 2 weeks!

Yes.
That is the perfect description for the NJIT Library.
“Due to the official budget cut, there is a freeze on buying new books”
This started about a week ago and remains in effect till further notice. My extrapolation on this … I don’t think they would stop buying new books for a week or 10 days. Looks […]

Judging a book by it’s cover, literally, is never a good thing.
I should know. Some of the best books I’ve read had nothing to do with my liking their cover.
However, when presented with the NJIT new books shelf, you cannot but judge them by the covers (and titles).
But in some ways, I love this! it’s […]

I once owned a 14-inch monochrome monitor (remember, CRT? Cathode Ray Tube?). It was the only one I owned.
Then I forced begged my dad to let me upgrade to a HGA capable monitor.
I also got the 386 computer upgraded to a 486 (with a math co-processor, no less) while at it.
Ahh, those were the times, […]

By now, all you lesser mortals know how unabashedly proud I am of Surabhi’s technical skills!
So, this morning, she walks into the office, grinning from ear to ear and clutching a package she just picked up …
So, what is Surabhi’s surprise/secret gift that she is so happy about?
New shoes? New clothes? The next Harry Potter? […]

If, like me, you read numerous popular blogs everyday, you’ll recognize overcrowded-comment-sections for what they are. Too much noise. Very little signal.
Might be it’s to do with the rising popularity of blogging and the fact that more people are now reading more blogs, this has translated into comment crowding. Not comment spam, just overcrowding.
I am […]

Now, thats a good term for the new crop of democratic, public edited, public voted news websites. Dreditors.
You know, sites like Digg, Reddit, Newsvine, Fantacular, 180 News and Gather.

So, what is a real dreditor?
To be a Dreditor (or a dreditor-site) the following conditions must be satisfied …

Someone please explain to me how SPAMMING your resume will get you a job?
At best, you might get more calls telling you stop spamming. At worst, you will get no calls at all and will, instead get your name/personal info listed on someone’s blog (like mine).
So, over the last few days, my company email addresses […]
