IRCTC re-launched their site before 2 days ago while I am writing this post. IRCTC(Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporate Limited) is online place to buy train tickets in India. Currently they are one of the most popular websites in india. They were known as the worst site for Geeks and also I faced lot many problems with that site previously.

Sometimes even such things happened like, only few tickets were available for some route and I waited a long time to process my request to buy ticket and experienced that before page appears and I finish the payment formalities, no tickets are available. And at that time, I was thinking - really this site sucks. But finally before few weeks ago, I guess they clustered their servers or increased the bandwidth or so but they managed to make the site more faster.

Before two days, the site was suspended due to some maintainance but when I saw the new look and feel of the site, It was more professional then before. And speed is really good compare to those old days.

Thanks to IRCTC and Lalu Prasad!

As a CTO, Project Manager and Owner of the company, I hardly able to find time for myself, my wife or other friends of mine. I need to perform so many tasks to do each and everyday for various clients, need to maintain and train my team members, also need to solve their queries (technical, personal or company level) time to time also need to balance personal life aswell.

But its not easy stuff as I am feeling. As you grow in business, more and more responsibilities are there and they are always increasing. And this fast life sometime pushes you away from your loved ones or your friends. I was trying to find some way where I can balance my personal life without disturbing the business and its growth. I found a nice suggestions over Business Week article and ToDoOrElse.  Read the rest of this entry »

After a long time, I am again starting to write here on my blog.

I just noticed that Macromedia changed a new homepage which confirms completion of acquisition on 3rd December.

New Top navigation with Adobe logo and the page style is now completely according to the Adobe Homepage. I am waiting to hear how the community related issues come up with this acquisition.

Congratulations to Macromedia and Adobe.

I was using Norton Internet Security 2005 but after windows xp sp2 update and windows installer update, Norton was forcing me to reinstall the product because of its conflicts with windows installer’s new update. So I thought lets give chance to other and try other spam filters.

So I tried McAfee SpamKiller and Wooho! it was a big NightMare for me…. Its -100% Smart … Yeah I mean it … It not mark any mail as spam but even If i tell it to block this mail, It says rudely like This Mail Cannot be Blocked like the spammer given him much $$$ to not blocking his mail. So McAfee itself is not a smart but After guiding it, still it not work as we wish so its -100% smart.

So now I am back with my Norton … and Hope It wont push me in situation to reinstall it again and again.

So much disappointed with McAfee SpamKiller. This product can even down the impression of McAfee Virus Scanner. Does anybody else faced same problem?
