I came across a galore of suggestions to fix this thing up but all seemed a bit weird. Many people pointed fingers at IIS and I was using the in-built web server to run my app. Others were discussing about .Net framework 1.1 or 2.0 which didn't have AJAX built-in and thus Sidharthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06257051701144098205noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31096374.post-1155722126296497472006-08-16T02:31:00.000-07:002006-08-16T03:00:08.880-07:00Sharing and exchanging books through Internet...I came across this article - Bittorrent for books a few days back and was mildly surprised. BookMooch.com is a brainchild of John Buckman. This interesting site works in a way which is very similar to the P2P sharing of data on the internet. But BookMooch is not about ebooks or audiobooks but about physical books. The principle is very simple - member of a book put their books for sharing and Sidharthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06257051701144098205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31096374.post-1155281491930752812006-08-10T23:33:00.000-07:002006-08-11T00:31:31.933-07:00Microsoft acquires Winternals Software, Sysinternals.comDuring my early programming days I was constantly tinkering with stuff in windows. Countless hours I have passed in playing with registry and system settings of windows, and the resourceful companions of my meagre exploits were the tools created by Mark and Bryce of Winternals Software (www.sysinternals.com). I recently heard the news that Winternals has been acquired by Microsoft.

I don't have monster dual-core or a mac(yet) and hence i'm quite conservative with these memory hoggers. But sometime back i did decide to give this baby a try.

You can tweak and play all day long and you're still at the "tip of the iceberg". Whether it's changing the GUI, speech-enabled apps, remote access windows has utilities for almost all your needs and if there's nothing for what you want, building one isn't too difficult either.Sometimes I wonder why Sidharthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06257051701144098205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31096374.post-1154340987262587032006-07-31T03:14:00.000-07:002006-07-31T03:16:27.273-07:00Opera, Firefox or IE - Extremetech SurveyExtremetech did a comparison of the three leading browsers. For a novice surfer all offer similar features such as tabbed browsing, download management, extensions etc. But under the surface the three do have distinct functionalities. I have always supported Opera, regardless of how "tweaky" Firefox can be but both these browsers can make your day.

I myself has been using Opera 9 and just love it. The only hitch with Opera 9 is its memory consumption. But apart from that it's running as smooth as water on duckback. I don't require flashy features but if you're one for it Opera doesn't shy away from it.

For those who came late dots are simply bookmarks of webpages that I found interesting and well, bookmarked. These bookmarks are sorted by tags, such as Football or Technology News and so forth. The image above shows the sidebar and if you wish to see all of my dots there's a link of the same at the bottom of this same sidebar.

Reportedly, initially a list of 17 blogs and webpages was given to the nationwide ISPs to block but they blocked the whole blogger and a list of other blogging websites.

We know that creativity is something which is inherent part of our makeup but only on the basis of our intuition.

Of course, I was blissfully unaware of the concept of Web 2.0 and the other "Social Networking" and "Bookmarking" revolution that was going on. I immidiately got hooked to Bluedot as I love to surf the Internet quite a lot and it is usually difficult to keep track of all the pages you have visited or would like to visit, Sidharthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06257051701144098205noreply@blogger.com0
