  • Happy New Year – My list of things to focus on in 2013

    New Year is already started; I usually don’t do New Year resolutions at least not like will give more time to family, no more long sitting in front of PC, losing weight etc. You can call it annual plan. 😀
    Here is the list based on Priority.

    Nagpur Sites Network
    Discussing & planning since last three years, partially executed. Now it’s time to start with new phase. Shortly will be announcing three more websites dedicated to my hometown Nagpur.

    Peenak – Team Development
    It’s been one and half year we started Peenak Solutions, Our Own office Building construction has started, hopefully to be completed by April 2013. We will be keen to work on team as our new ventures from Gulf Breeze, London, Pune & Mumbai are going to flood our plates.

    Opencart Contributions
    Last two month we are developing custom solution based on Open Cart – Open source PHP based shopping cart solutions. It’s time to contribute to community.

    Android Applications
    I feel it’s never too late to jump in Android Market, A Pending Application From Nagpur Hackathon is waiting to be finished. And some more Ideas in brain are waiting to come out.

    Meetups
    In 2012, I missed Meets a lot. Meeting new people, sharing ideas, recharges me. This summer I need meets in Nagpur. Or I’m going to travel for this 😀

    Blogging
    I know my writing skills are too poor, unless I write how I am developing my writing skills. So at least someone can understand what I’m trying to say.

    Nothing wrong with spending more time with the family! It’s just that I don’t believe in making those kinds of promises at the turn of a new year. 🙂

    So, now that I’ve written my plan for 2013 down on paper and published it for the world to see, all that remains to do is do it!

  • Where am I? am I DEAD ??

    Not Dead just lost in bhool-bhulaiya !! though the Tedious month was over, no one knows more tedious days are ahead except pretending to know.

    Last month I switched my job from Shreesurya to Telezent, both were in my home town makes me feel good that I don’t need to leave my city for my Bread and Butter. New Job brings new responsibility and new technologies and techniques. I am not scared of 9am – 9pm reponsiblity just got exhausted due to work.

    Thanks to my partners Chetan, Shahbaz aka ENK, Paras, Sujay for handling everything in my absense.

    Although I’m offline, unable to reply mails to my readers, and also missed this year Samaradhana Day at JSYOG (Enjoy last year snap by Subodh Da)

    JSYog

    and many more events, But still trying to be connected with Nagpur groups, Just had an unofficial, unplanned blogger meet at compex

    Nagpur Bloggers

    Don’t Search me in the snap, I was shooting snap of those good looking face on the left. ; ) These guys come in between !!

    Even there is a Nagpur PHP meetup at Jog house on 11th of next month, will try to be there.

    My Web Directory is Accepting regular free links, but only featured links are approved since last 2 months I regreat for same. Won’t even had enough strength to move PHP fake mail script to Source Forge Page.

    I Will be Back Soon ….

  • Knoppix On my System

    Yes finaly i am using some flavoured linux. I tried Ubuntu and Kubuntu and Granular Linux. Since I joined new Company,I am getting new jerks like this one. My office system is having Knoppix installed. well the basic reason behind it was I am working on Linux platform so before my joining. my colleage Vaibhav had made a system available for me and instructed an Hardware person to installed an Linux Flavour. I used Live CDs Alot but this time i am working on Knoppix on the Hard drive. Its not pretty hard to start up once if you have used any of Linux flavour. better used linux training material from Official knoppix site. its worth to start.

    heres snapshot of the desktop

    Hope i could learn more stuffs from the Knoppix forums.

  • Google Chrome : NEW OPEN SOURCE browser

    At last Google entered the Open source market, its Beta Launch today yet to launch. Google Chrome is Google’s open source browser with little components from Apple’s WebKit and Mozilla’s Firefox. this browser will also include JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8 to gear up the performance . The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features Called ’omnibox’ and many up coming features with it.

    But I think Google was promoting Mozilla’s Firefox Via Adsense and other matter, how suddenly they are launching there own new browser??

    I looked the Images of Chrome doesn’t fascinate me at all. but who know some good things are there like Comedy they launched before App launch. I think this is a start of war against Microsoft products specially image from Chetan’s Blog made me think. Well I am waiting for launch.
