I started off on Facebook as an alternative to Orkut, pretty impressed by its privacy settings. It was a slick web application, more so because it let you add applications of your own, and hence came along SuperPoke, Superlatives, SuperWall, Characteristics and what not.

Intro to my big, bad N95 Rant.

Well, this is a long pending review of the Nokia N95, which I bought during Diwali. Things happened, I got busy with work, there was a MAJOR firmware upgrade and stuff. Now that the dust has settled down, I think its high time I devote some time and pen down MY review, for the benefit of Supremus and perhaps, others too.

Number Portability!

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Work - Tags: with no Comments

Finally - Number portability. Without getting into the intricate details of what this is and how it can be achieved, its safe enough to say I’m no longer tied to a particular cellphone provider. If I don’t like their services, poof, change the provider, keep the cellphone number.

Its funny, it took so long for India to implement number portability, but, better late than never. On the flipside, there is still a year to go before its going to be operational.

Death of a one-time necessity

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Work - Tags: , with 1 Comment

There was a time, when I was hyperly obsessed with laptops. Maybe, during the course of my masters, there was a need to carry one around, considering the humongous amount of coursework and projects that I was doing. It was pretty commonplace for me in the UK, to fire up my Thinkpad in the train, and sit ‘working’ on it. Of course, email checking and chatting did happen simultaneously. I loved my Thinkpad, and it almost became a part of me.

Look Ma! Another New theme..

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Work - Tags: with 4 Comments

One helluva professional look. My best effort on the blog yet. A little bit of clean up is left, and jazzing the theme up, but for practical purposes, this looks like THE theme, for a long time to come.

Synchronisation Junkie.

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Work - Tags: with no Comments

I’m completely obsessed with syncing stuff to my PC. Pics taken through the phone, Music tracks, Videos, contacts, the general phone backup, everything. So much so, I have a weekly calendar entry on the phone reminding me to sync my phone to the PC. Tried many solutions, but now I’ve finally zeroed in Read it all..
