Hello from Hyderabad!

Sometimes it feels like 2001...

Vista is out in the market, web 2.0 is the craze, cars can parallel park themselves... surely it is 2007. But every so often certain tech activities take you back to another era. Last night I had 2 such experiences. I was at a friend's place and needed to setup my laptop to access his wireless network. A simple scenario which required 3 manual steps. a) The friend had to dig up the zillion character network key and narrate it to me b) Login into his router and add my MAC address to the allowed list c) I had to manually enter the network key on my machine and wait for the magic to happen. I mistyped the network key once, my friend mistyped my MAC address once, the whole operation took 3 attempts and about 10 mins. Should'nt this be simple? Once I got internet access on my laptop, I logged onto www.willow.tv to watch the live internet broadcast of India vs Sri Lanka cricket match. (willow.tv is proof that internet is the future of TV content) The content had to ...

Exit Seahawks

Seahawks run finally ended today at chicago, but not before they put up a good fight. Actually, with a little bit of luck they could have won it. Anyways, it was tough season with injuries and all, BOL for next year. Next on the sporting agenda is the cricket world cup. Chopping and changes going on in the indian cricket team. Wierd what can happen in a year. Ganguly was a relic last year who no one wanted to touch. Today he is the "experienced campaigner" the team wants to rally around.

Cricket PowerGadget

Happy new year all! The powershell community has been doing tons of fun stuff with powershell lately. This guy made a Alarm clock using Itunes and powershell, very cool! But it is cricket season and so my current favorite has to be the Cricket PowerGadget script by Rob Farley to get Ashes scores . (btw congratulations to the Aussies for a 5-0 rout). The script pulls data from cricinfo and feeds it to a powergadget. I am using a modified version to get scores for India-South Africa series. As I write this, Dada and "the wall" are battling it out in the middle. Looking forward to the first series win in SA. Go dada!
