[:http://trac.edgewall.org/|Trac] is indeed a very useful software. When swamped with too many things to do, this is a good tool to keep track of all the tasks and issues in a better way (at least it has been that, for me). It even has a wiki that is very much similar to [w:Mediawiki|Mediawiki].

Thanks largely to [:http://manadamaatu.blogspot.com/|Manohar], [:http://kn.wikisource.org|Wikisource Kannada] is now a very active project and recently got its own domain, too. Visit the project and [:http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CP|contribute], take part. Don't let the initial Main page template scare you.

Sessions on Firefox

One feature I missed very much on Firefox was the option to easily and automatically save browsing sessions. Opera had this feature even in the old days, out-of-box.

[:http://tmp.garyr.net/|Tab Mix Plus] - an extension to Firefox adds the feature in a pretty nice way. It saves all the tabs even when the browser crashes and more importantly, lets the user open back the tab closed accidentally. Another cannot-do-without extension for Firefox. Hope features like this one get added to the core distribution.

Tata Indicom 'Broadband' is the *worst* of all!

Broadband in India
After almost 2 weeks of toil with frequent disconnections, I'm furious with Tata Indicom 'Broadband' service and quite intent to throw the connection away for some better Internet service. The month long wait for the connection wasn’t worth anything, after all. Just a rain or power cut seems to be enough excuse for the service to go down!

ಬದುಕು ಜಟಕಾಬಂಡಿ, ವಿಧಿಯದರ ಸಾಹೇಬ | ಕುದುರೆ ನೀನ್, ಅವನು ಪೇಳ್ದಂತೆ ಪಯಣಿಗರು || ಮದುವೆಗೋ ಮಸಣಕೋ ಹೋಗೆಂದ ಕಡೆಗೋಡು || ಪದಕುಸಿಯೆ ನೆಲವಿಹುದು -- ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ || Kannada language is my mother tongue. I'm proud and passionate about reading, writing and speaking Kannada. This page was created when I had the first ever web page of mine with some html pages on it. There were not many Kannada pages to be seen then on the Internet (at least in Unicode). Things have changed quite a lot in between. There's lot of content now in Kannada.

Somehow, orkut is getting to be more weird by each passing day. It wouldn't let me change my homepage link! More to that, it wouldn't let me add a new user icon... the album too is down for what they say "Photo album uploads are under maintenance. Please try again in a few days." wah, orkut, wah. keep it up. shaahbaash.
For every few pages I click on, I get "Sorry, but no donuts for you... " or something... ah, its a pity orkut came to this.
