Hi Sxrxxx,

Thanks for you interest towards Saksoft.
But you see, as a employee of a listed company, I can't share informations to anyone.  So for any types of queries, you can mail to : enquiry (yut) saksoft.com

 My collueges in that dept. will help you to their level best.

ThanX

This is my reply to a letter, we will come to that latter.

When you search "Saksoft" in any of the major search engines like, Google, MSN & Yahoo then you will be ending with my page in the first page result itself. So, im getting around 100 clicks for the keyword "Saksoft" from the Search Giants every week.  Due to Referal blacklist problem, my links in Google have gone down. Specifically "Saksoft" keyowrd results to page 3. Hope it will climb soon. And in MSN, my page is the first result & in Yahoo its 3rd.

                    

And moreover I have mentioned that Im working for Saksoft, so I used to get few mails a week asking for the companys' latest deal/projects. But I normally prefer not to respond. But two days back,  I got a mail. Thats, something immoral....

Interested in that letter ??? Scroll down.........

 

Dear Kiruthik,
Let me introduce myself as we don't know each other, or rather you don't know me. I know a few things about you through
www.kiruthik.com. My name is Sxrxxx Txxxe and I'm currently in Pune. My profession is to do equity research and I came across your site when I was looking for information about Saksoft. I required Saksoft information because I've to do research on your company. As the field of IT from the point of view of researching it is new to me, I wanted to know about this industry from somebody working in it. And also a few things about Saksoft. Ofcourse, you need not divulge the things you are supposed to keep secret (and it would be immoral under current SEBI guidance) but some information, you know which is better understood one to one from a person working in that company rather than just going through newspaper clippings and the saksoft website.  I would like to know how company has changed after getting listed, etc., you know, qualitative factors, which are hard to gauge from the plain financial statements.Btw, congratulations on getting Saksoft shares, lucky being one in only two employees to get them through the IPO.
And if you oblige me with this favour, I promise, I would give you sound advice on investing in stocks and mutual funds. My record has been impeccable, and my friends have made some money because of my advice.
So.. Its quid pro quo..

I hope you would provide atleast some information.. Please reply this mail with your contact number and convenient time for you. I won't take more than 15 minutes for my work. If you need few tips, and if we go along well (and I really hope so) we'll ofcourse talk longer..

Thank you,
Reply asap,

Last week MSN & Yahoo announced their plan to connect their Instant Messaging(IM) network together in the first half of next year. i.e., you can send IMs to your friends in MSN, if you have logged into Yahoo, and vice versa is also applicable. We can share emoticons, add new contacts etc. Also, voice chat is possible. Hopefully they will be in the phase of syncing up their databases

This is will be a dazzling feature which gives AOL & Google Talk a big punch. AOL is mostly used in US, where they have more users, than the combined users of Yahoo & MSN users. But outside US, Yahoo & MSN stands. Whereas, the new comer for this line Google-Talk is the main sufferer, even for Skype, its the same. Well, Yahoo has marked this service "Coming soon" in their Messenger page as featured partners.

The only doubt I have is : is it possible to send offline messages to MSN users in that case  ????

Why is IBM supporting Linux?
Because we admire it, we believe in it, we need it and it's good for customers. And, well...it's a lot of fun.

We've invested a billion dollars in Linux, we've made every IBM eServer® Linux-enabled, and now we've made a little
investment in some Linux fun. We created these animated features for your enjoyment - take a look, have a laugh."

IBM, the industry giant is advertising its IBM eServer® with these nice animation  saying their servers run on Linux. More info. here. Thanks, Manigandan for forwarding it.

After Gmail, its 30gigs now. They are offering 30GB of mail storage. But this one is not from a very big company & they have registered their site (30gigs.com) for only 2 years. The user interface may look good. If anyone is left with an invitation, send me that to mail@kiruthik.com 

Year back,  Hotmail gave 2MB & Yahoo  6MB, now there are offerings in GBs.

Update : I have many 30 Gigs invitations left to give out   Mail me, if you need it....

The old Logo representing Linux Bangalore



The new name FOSS(Free & Open Source Software) 2005 - Logo

Tomorrow, it is scheduled for BLUGers meet, in Ashraya Hotel, so im taking off tomm'& leaving for bangalore tonight. I missed the last meet & hopefully, we will have more things to discuss about the coming FOSS.in/2005 event (which was called Linux Bangalore before).

From third week of July, I spent all of my weekends outside madras. But this weekend, I was here doing loads of work. I had about 5 new stuffs to blog about, but I didn't. So, today while shavng, around 9:30, I thought of blogging, but I knew I have to race with time if I blog. So, I added a small entry about OkCupid's Political Test (my previous post). When I came out of my bathroom, tying my shorts(half pant) knot, I heard the sound from my pendulum-clock.

"Shit, its 10...", I said to myself.
Im late by 10 minutes. I have to dress, drink-milk, pray & have to drive a mile to office. My blue Indigo Nation shirt was lying in bed. So I wore that & left to drink my yummy Chocolate-milk, chanting few mantras. In a minute, I came out with my purse & mobile in my hand nearing my bike to start. I was trying to keep my purse in my Pant's back pocket. It was not there!!!! I bent my head a little down & in a second, I started laughing...... Yes, I was not in my pant. Instead, the shorts. From my childhood, I used to wear my socks before wearing my pant. Even my brother used to do that. Since it was a half pant & was thinking something, I missed.
