I listen to all kinds of music - everything from blues to pop to rock and Petra, carnatic and other Indian. The Web is a very powerful medium. I love focusing on User Experience on the Internet, concentrating on topics like usability and accessibility. By profession I help develop management software for telecommunication networks. Is programming art or is it science? I'm still finding out. I hate to stop learning and the Net helps with that. I also love teaching - communicating ideas. If I hadn't been in computers, I would have been in advertising or in teaching. And I used to be a poet. You can find me on the Web at http://www.bejoy.in. - Meddling with the guitar. - Continental cooking (newbie)

I know that M$ used to block the MSN site from Opera (another superb browser) saying that you need to download IE if you were to use their site. It might be a similar monopolistic tactic - if you are not using M$, you can't use M$ services :(

Great review. But version 6.2? or is it 6.02 (with the zero missing)? Keep writing. Bejoy

Thanks for comments. Unfortunately I don't think I can stretch my restaurant reviews to that length. I may not be able to do justice to our MS community. I guess I've written a handful of huge reviews like the one on Preventing Spam, Egroups etc. Some of them have taken a lot of pain to compile. Read More...

My grandmother makes much better appams topped with eggs! You can't deny that the food at Grove is great. They just charge a hell too much :(
Quite busy these days with work, buddy. The recession never seems to recede :(
Thanks for the comment. Liquor is a strict NO as far as I know. Credit cards are not generally needed unless you are thrice a glutton as me. Even a heavy meal for two will be well within 300 bucks.
