Are you a geek? Do you feel that with your hectic schedule and all those chores, you are not getting enough work out. If that is indeed the case, then this should be a good starting point for you.

End of the conventional light bulbs?

Web 2.0 and Social Networking

2005-10-21T09:33:00.000-07:00

There are plenty of social networking sites out there (e.g orkut, hi5 etc.) Other than these there are some social bookmarking sites e.g. del.icio.us and sites dedicated to photo sharing e.g. flickr.

Apart from this there are plenty of web 2.0 based startups, some mashups with google maps etc. With plethora of services out there, I was wondering what are your favorites? How much time do you spend daily perusing these sites?

Its human nature to opt for ways which will ultimately bring comfort. In pursuit of this comfort some 'brave souls' stretch their creativity skills to a new threshold ... See for yourself and praise the skills of the mavericks.

Extreme Programming, agile methodology etc has become a part of daily vernacular for many folks who are embroiled in programming. There is yet another 'accessory' to further facilitate the task. I hope you will like it, and of course the product orders are only taken on April 1st ; )

Punctuality ....

2005-08-25T12:53:00.000-07:00

Many folks use this medium (blogosphere as many call it) to share their thoughts. Some are even using this to generate some extra revenue (read problogger.net for getting six figure income in dollars .... sikka rayij ul waqt).

But given the fact that I am not such a prolific writer (even though some of my recommendation letters will contradict this statement of mine), I am compelled by the pangs of moral conscience to keep this blog alive.

It is not that hot in Phoenix lately, temperature hovers around 100-105 F threshold with little or no humidity at all. I am certainly looking forward to the winters which are really mild compared to the other states.

Time for me to sign off ... I will try to bore you again with my ramblings very soon .....

My Blogroll .......

2005-08-19T14:27:00.000-07:00

Even though, I do not blog frequently but I am an avid 'consumer' of this new information resource. You can view my blogroll (at bloglines.com, I am too lazy to update it here on blogspot) at this link: http://www.bloglines.com/blog/jheera

This is just a random selection of the blogs based on my (current) interests. Do you have any suggestions?

Update.....

2005-08-18T12:28:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's been almost an year since I last posted on this blog. A lot has changed in this time frame. I do not intend to bore the audience by rambling about those changes, but as the title of this blog suggests I will certainly give some updates.

As a teenager I used to keep a diary and intermittently scribble my thoughts and some good poetic verses in it. Here intermittently is the catch word. Initially it was just following a passing fad type of passion for me, I never even thought of keeping an updated diary, but now I am defying that, even though it is not necessarily a regular diary (as its a digital version) but this approach may expose it to a large audience.

Let's see, I think I am missing the introduction part here. I am a twenty something married guy originating from the sub-continent and currently residing in the valley of the sun. Yes you guessed it right ... Phoenix, AZ

My interests vary from technology to finance to literature to traveling to sports to ......... I think it all depends on the mood?

Regardless, I intend to periodically post about things I am dabbling with, so stay tuned .......

Things.........

2004-08-27T15:12:00.000-07:00

A thing of beauty is a joy forever BUT Things are seldom what they seem ..... so whats your verdict about this!! The two notions cannot be co-related or they are true yet they are oxymorons?
