Published on June 11, 2009

The 20th century is the age of structured authoring and optimizing information reuse.

How long before they grow up?

Published on January 30, 2009

Sometimes one feels strongly about a subject and comes across a piece that succintly put together one’s own perspective. I came across one such small piece in The Hindu, today. Aptly titled, Exploiting Innocence, the paragraph by Anuj Kumar, states …

Planet weather watch

Published on July 1, 2008

The solar system’s longest lasting storm is Jupiter’s Great Red Spot — raging on and off for 340 years, since Cassini first discovered it in 1665, shortly after Hans Lippershey invented the telescope in 1608.

Published on March 14, 2008

Working in the IT industry is always fraught with the danger that there may be some new technology, new tool, and new terminology just around the corner, and you are the only one who is living in the “Dark Ages” and not aware of the latest hum-word!  Well, I was struck with this “I-am-outdated” phobia [...]
