If you are interested in the RFID Active/Passive, AIDC or  SmartCard market, you would like to follow the rfid blog.

There is something we have always done at our house for as long as I can remember.
My mom ensures that we save old newspapers, bottles, plastic bags, etc and that they are sold to the “raddi-wala” (it is a nice article, read it) at the end of each month. The total cash is then given […]

Sherlock was today morning diagnosed with Hip Displacia.
He was limping in the morning and we took him to the 24×7 CUPA clinic at 7am. After an X-Ray, the doctor showed us how the hip joint of his right leg was already wearing thin.
Sherlock just turned 6 months old last week.
There is no cure. […]

We have been working over the last few months to get a simple RFID Tags and Reader catalog/catalogue up and running.
I believe it is now ready with some simple content and products and should be show-cased to a smaller audience to see how it looks and compares to other such websites on the Internet.
You can […]

It’s still early morning, as I’m sitting for tea (and biscuits, of course) and the cook/cleaner is cleaning the house.
Thanks to being close to St. Josephs (Indians) and Cottons, we are within hearing distance of the morning assembly.
As usual, they start the music for the national anthem, and as usual, I stand up to sing […]

Are you seriously kidding me, Airtel?
Sorry. Some background to this outburst. Indian mobile operators have only recently figured out how to give users access to technology that allows callers to leave a voicemail in-case the called-person is busy or unreachable. So far so good.
Lets see how this works in real-life? If […]

I realized that one of the biggest handicaps to my blogging was the availability of a decent blog composing/posting software.
I love Microsoft Live Writer. But for some reason it would never run on my old WinXP (after a few dozen reinstalls, etc, long story).
Now I have it back and I’m guessing I’m blogging again?!!!
Software, Microsoft, […]

So I’m finally doing what I haven’t been able to do for a while … format my primary computer and get a beta OS on it.
My X41 Tablet PC is now running Windows 7 beta (in all it’s glory!) and how!!! I knew skipping Vista was a good thing, and this proves it.
Also, with the […]
