Live Journal lost it's power the other day and here is a post martem of what happened and what the guys at Live Journal did to restore the service back. Good lessons on disaster recovery. This has turned out more complicated than I thought it would be. Now I will have more respect for the people behind these kind of services.

  2. Cheap (under $US 10 per month)
  3. Offers MySQL server (100 MB)
  4. Offers upto 10 GB of data transfer per month
  5. offers for hosting more than one domain (not compulsary)

I am looking at Brinkster at the moment. Are there any others you can recommend?

SPIT is what the new term is for SPAM which comes through VoIP. SPIT stands for Spam over Internet Telephony. Now intruders and spammers can insert SPIT onto our VoIP systems too. More details can be found from this article on Business Times.

Using Speegle one can listen to the search results searched through Google Search engine, that too in different voices. Interesting I would say. Just thinking about this technology, will people like to integrate this technology into their website or blogs? I can see people integrating this technology on their blogs, where a voice similar to their's will read out the posts and can even read the comments in a separate voice. Won't this give a more personal touch?

The other option is, when people create a post on their blog, they can also upload a voice version of their post in their own voice. This way, the true emotions of the author will be felt when he was writing that post. When people post comments to the post, they could have a option of uploading their comments in their own voice. Well more time and bandwith will be consumed, but it could be worth it! Yes, this is something very similar to podcasting, but here people can enjoy the post in both the versions, the text as well as the voice. If people start reading the post and they think it is a interesting, then they can download the voice file and listen you talk. Just imagine Bill Gates commenting on your blog in his own voice! With the podcasts, not all podcasts are interesting and I won't know that until I have heard the whole podcast and they swear and delete the podcast.

I am reading Steve Crescenzo's blog. Steve's blog just got my aggregator.Steve is posting a question, 'Are you network worthy?' Steve I am visualising how my face would have turned out if someone asked me that question upfront. Well for me, I would say it won't harm anybody in anyway to network with me. All in all, at the end of the month/year they won't feel that networking with Tejas was a utter waste of time. And this applies not only to people working in Computer industry but from other sectors as well. Seems as if I am boasting now..... I have quite a few online friends, friends scattered around the world, doing different things. I know people working in different industries as well as at different levels. It's amazing how much discount one can get if he/she knows somebody's friend at a local computer store or a local Clive Peters :). I reply to email messages and return phone calls. I don't pretend to be very busy when someone needs my help on something, which quite a few people do (they think that nobody will think that they are pretending).

I would say there are many benefits of networking with the right people or right people's friend. Which brings me to another question. What do you look for when you are networking with people (what qualities)?
