In their new “whatsnew”  page, they have omitted a version […]

Slow down Vuze Boy!

Written by ashish on 19.07.2008 | Daily News, Problems

Looks like i am having a tough time with upgrades. Yesterday, it was firefox, now it is Vuze.
Vuze was formerly known as Azureus, and was arguably the most popular torrent client. It recently upgraded to version 3.1.1.0. I felt my downloads are becoming slow, in fact system is taking a lot to respond. Upon opening […]

Firefox goofing up?

Written by ashish on 18.07.2008 | Daily News, Problems

I am going through a lazy weekend. Not doing anything productive, just killing internet bandwidth with some torrents, some surfing, some thinking on potential blog posts (One on Mike Arrington’s Kindle killing books and other on apple app store).
Anyways, firefox 3 patched itself yesterday, opened a whatsnew page upon restart. To my surprise, the new […]

Million users blog post

Written by ashish on 18.06.2008 | Humour

Written by ashish on 11.05.2008 | Platform, Product improvement

A friend asked me about a certain start today. I has to dig down my thunderbird archive to find relevant details. I discovered that i can’t search in all my feeds at once. Somehow, i managed to answered his query, but was not happy with the solution. In order to prevent further embarrassments, i […]

Rajasthan Royals

Written by ashish on 28.04.2008 | Uncategorized

Indian premier league started somewhere mid april. Each night after that has been a splendid treat for viewers with sixes and fours raining all over. For the first time, rajasthan is doing good in cricket. Rajasthan traditionally is not known for its cricketing heroes. I do not recall any famous rajasthani […]
