Quick programming update

Sorry for not posting much in the last couple of weeks and disappearing off the face of the, well, Internet. Cable cut or something.
Actually, I was off-site (that sounds way cooler than out of town) and was unable to get on to the Interweb. Regular programming will resume within two weeks. In the meanwhile, I [...]

Play a game and feed some hungry people

FreeRice which I first came across via Ms. K [1] is a neat concept. Play a vocbulary game and if you get a word right, 10 grains of rice are donated through the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to hungry people.

Different does not mean security risk

Bruce Schneier has a neat column titled The War on the Unexpected which is worth a read:
We’ve opened up a new front on the war on terror. It’s an attack on the unique, the unorthodox, the unexpected; it’s a war on different. If you act different, you might find yourself investigated, questioned, and even arrested [...]

More on than off

Just a short post to let the one million[1] readers of this blog know that I’ll not be able to post much for the next few weeks. I’m doing a fair bit of travelling, starting in a couple of days. I’ll miss blogging about the World Cup, but that can’t be helped.
From what we’ve [...]

Imported previous blogs here

Finally done! Imported my two blogs on Blogspot to WP, which was a piece of cake. The painful part was tagging the posts. I’m done, so that’s the good news.

Weird happenings

For some reason, a post that was still being written got posted. I didn’t even realise this, till I saw the post on the site. Deleted the post but it was one of those, Hit Enter by mistake and something happens, kind of things. I am still not sure. Maybe I should blog about this. [...]
