I’m trying to play catch up with the blogosphere.. but it is difficult when I have 221 feeds in Bloglines. Actually, there were more but I’m trying to trim down my folders to a more manageable size.

I got bored of simply reading, so I decided to host my own blog mela :D, so here we go…

Tech-related

• Feedster Alerts allows you to get email of new posts of a blog or any new posts related to a search term. If you don’t want RSS feeds, this is the way to go. I remember somebody asking me about this (unfortunately, don’t remember whom), so I hope they see this…

• The .NET BCL (Base Class Library) team had a blog day - they just blog the whole day and don’t work … turned out to have some interesting results. I liked Play the CLR acronym game! and The .Net Vision posts.

• Linux/Java guys visit Microsoft. Too bad the Indian version turned out to be such a fiasco.

• Drew has written a good article on XmlHttpRequest.

• A hilarious entry about designations in IT offices … for example “Project Manager is a Person who thinks Nine women can deliver a baby in One month” … you know where this is going

• code.google.com - ’nuff said.

• The latest show of LUGRadio featured Aaron Seigo who talked a good deal about KDE, and that was a great interview, especially considering the LUGRadio guys are gnome-rs ; but the suggestion to rewrite KDE/Gnome in Python was ridiculous…

• The extremely popular Nero CD-Writing software is now available on Linux! But the question is are the ISVs going to see any RoI?

• Python and OpenGL run on a Nokia Series 60 phone.

• Kubuntu preview with the hot-off-the-repository KDE 3.4!

People-related

• Gotta love this quote : “There are no shortcuts in life, unless you right click and find one” … JD, that’s a brilliant quote.

• Vignesh tries to explain that there’s nothing like a platonic friendship that brings back that good feeling in you. I wholeheartedly agree because I have such a friend too.

• Rashmi talks about how getting an IIM MBA doesn’t mean you automatically make insane amounts of money.

• Anna, the ’suitablegirl’, goes mobloggin’ and later starts counting.

• Amit talks about all the cricket cliches and he’s at cliche number 28.

• Dilip asks what’s the big deal about Mittal and says Narayan Murthy’s driver is the real story.

• Chugs has had to deal with a lady who says he shouldn’t have linked to her blog, when all he did was mention a list of sites using templates that were designed by him!

• Shrutz puts up an old poem about her ‘Genesis’ class in college.

• Umang wants to get back to college life.

• Neels is lost in the world of music.

• The obligatory link to Sepia Mutiny about how Gujarat Chief Minister Modi was denied visa to USA because of “severe violations of religious freedom” a.k.a. Gujarat riots.

• Kruthi puts up some nice pics of her cats.

• Ravi blogs about… well, me! and also Kalyan and Pradeep.

• Pallavi is chilling in Wild Valley.

• Kalyan starts naming the leopards in B R Hills.

I think I better stop for tonight. Hopefully, I haven’t violated any blog mela norms.
