Chandra's Random Updates!

I typically start office time with browsing my office mails followed by gmail and live mails . This is now invariably followed by 30 mins of browsing technical sites and I have kind of grown addictive to these: Regularly visit: http://news.cnet.com http://digg.com/technology http://techcrunch.com Few other sites I visit occasionally: http://techmeme.com http://mashable.com/   Few more which I rarely visit: http://www.techradar.com/ http://engadget.com http://slashdot.com http://thenextweb.com/ http://www.readwriteweb.com/ Trying to avoid mention of FaceBook , Orkut and Twitter where I spend considerable time too :)

In FaceBook You share a lot of technical stuff …. links relating to the work you do, company info, competitors products info etc etc…. Then there is the personal front – snaps. ..outings.. .your philosophical notes, ramblings etc etc …. Two different streams or a classification of the news stream would be a good way to get the relevant information displayed to the correct audience of your co-workers/family/friends :).. Hope FaceBook implements it soon!

Got my first ticket last weekend for driving at 73 kmph on outer ring rooad (just after hennur road junction). I am not sure they have put any signboards stating 60 is the limit on outer ring road. And the rational for traffic personals seems to be to make more money than control and educate the masses on driving faster. I have done 150 kmph on a 2 lane state highway and no-one seems to care on that but a 70+ on a 6 lane road seems to be a problem :( My max speed has been 165 on chennai highway – closer to Vellore and in Bangalore – 150 (Nice Road) and dodballapur State highway.
