iPod - I Got One

Submitted by Vyoma on Sun, 04/08/2007 - 18:00

It was some time back when Rosalin talked about PDAs and PMPs. At that time, I wondered if I would ever take an iPod. But I guess, it is official now.

I just bought myself a video iPod, the 30 GB one.

XML Application - XHTML

Submitted by Vyoma on Fri, 04/06/2007 - 18:00

When I was researching for the last post on XML, I realized that there are numerous applications of XML that have almost achieved what XML hoped for. These applications of XML seem to form the "universal language" or the common data format in a particular class of applications.

In this post, we will have a glance at XHTML.

Resisting the temptation of reiterating the history of World Wide Web from the early days of its inception in CERN, we will look at XHTML history and its other implications.

First Snow

Submitted by Vyoma on Fri, 03/30/2007 - 18:00

Yes, it was first snow for me today. As I said in the last post, I moved from coasts of India, a warm humid place, to Denver, USA, a dry and cold place.

I had almost adjusted to the place, and in the morning I woke up to find that nature had painted a quite different picture for me. It had snowed and everything was padded white.

Denver - A Change Of Place

Submitted by Vyoma on Thu, 03/29/2007 - 18:00

As you would have noticed, Splat and KalaaLog was inactive for more than a week now. The reason? I moved from India to US.

Last week, I moved to Denver, Colorado, as I got deputed here by my employer for a project. That meant, I had a lot to learn - both in terms of technology and business processes. And that meant, I was real busy.

Online Auction - What Is In There?

Submitted by Rosalin on Thu, 03/15/2007 - 18:00

Talk about Online Auction and the multi colored eBay logo pops up in our mind. Since it's introduction in 1995, Online auction has become a popular business model. But the concept I would say, is not something very innovative or radical.
