Aha! Yesterday (or I would say last time) it was 29%, and now it is 20% :)

First it was a jump from 1GB to 2GB along with a Infinity + 1 promise. Now it is ~2.8GB to ~4GB. THANK YOU GOOGLE. But, when will you do the same for picasaweb? I dont care even if you go back to 1GB in gmail, but give me more space in picasaweb. You can put ads in picasaweb. I dont care. You have the best desktop photo organizer, but what about online storage?

One compromise would be to give a common space of 5GB for picasaweb and gmail put together. Let the user decide the distribution ratio.

After a long gap !

Lots of things happening here. Completed my masters. Joined a Bangalore based company. Got busy with work. But wait. Do you care all this? I suppose not. But lets just put it here.

Chaitu has started blogging recently, here. Last night he raised a doubt. Whose blog is having more posts. Guess what. Just like the India Pakistan match in T20, it was a tie. Both were having 15 posts each. But not any more. Here I am, with my 16th post.

By the way, he gave me some inspiration to get back to blogging. The message I got from his blog is: Dont think too much about the readers. Keep blogging what ever it is.

Some posts note worthy from his blog:

  • http://think-free.net/blog/2007/07/24/why-do-you-need-pgp/
  • http://think-free.net/blog/2007/06/17/democracy-woes/
  • http://think-free.net/blog/2007/06/13/browsing-info-manuals/ (I never thought info is such a serious tool)
  • http://think-free.net/blog/2007/06/10/sending-mail-using-emacs/
  • http://think-free.net/blog/2007/06/07/emacs-tips/
  • Suggestions and feedback:

  • Get rid of that pink type color. No self respecting geek would use that color in his blog
  • In most of the posts, code portions cross the grey boundary. Fix it.
  • Comments page should show the post as well. Not just the comment form
  • Move the RSS button above the blogroll
  • The RSS button’s color does not match with the theme of the blog: pleasent to the eyes. Size is OK, but color is too much distracting
  • Add more info in About me. May be a photo also. Just name is not sufficient.
  • URLs are shown as plain text. May be you need http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/07/08/plugin-auto-hyperlink-urls/. Now you know why you need that plugin
  • Now its your turn to review my blog.
