Never assume.
When troubleshooting performance issues..never take anything for granted..yes, even if something was not touched or restarted, chances are something touching it has been and might have affected it.
This goes esp for the network (IP and fiber) which don’t change as often as the rest of the environment.

G+ or Blog
I started using Google Plus from last November and I should say that, even though I am a big proponent of keeping control over your digital avatar, it has been very easy to make (give) quick updates on Google plus than on this blog. Plus my friends and family don’t have to specially come to this site to get updates. They get the G+ updates as part of their regular email and/or when they log into their G+ stream. It is less work on everyones part.
That is one of the reasons, I believe G+ will be one of the first real contenders to Facebook. Even though Facebook boasts of more than 800 million users, it is still a “seperate” site that folks have to log into unlike Google plus, which is fast becoming part of the regular Google experience. Esp with the tweaks that Google made last week with incorporating G+ data into the search results, the line between a Google search and using Google Plus gets blurrier.
So the question (for me) is not if it is Facebook or G+.. but if it is the blog or G+..

I have been tagged..
As a site linking to site which is linking to site that serves malware. And I thought it was worth a post, because that site is twit.tv according to google 
. 
I believe the warning is due to the fact that I linked to some video provided by twit on this post (http://kudithipudi.org/2011/11/04/overheard-comment-about-start-upentrepreneurship) .
I pinged Leo on Google + about it and hopefully he will have his team take care of it. Wait.. let me say that again.. I pinged Leo!!! . Isn’t technology amazing. With the click of a button, I was able to send a personal message to one of the most famous tech personalities.

Visit the Indian Railway’s official site for dating advice
I was reading this post (http://mindprince.blogspot.com/2011/10/state-of-railway-e-ticketing-in-india.html) by Rohit Agarwal and happened to check out the official site for the Indian Railway (which is a public enterprise).
And what do I see there? Ads for dating services and Penny Auctions!! Last I checked, the Indian Railways was one of the most profitable ventures in the pubic enterprises in India. What gives? Here’s a screenshot for proof

Facebook is popular…but still
I wanted to signup for the service offered by the Techcrunch 2011 Disrupt winner, GetAround (which by the way is a pretty cool service) and went to their website. And what do I see? I need a facebook account to use their service. I know Facebook is popular, but how fair is it to require a potential customer to have a Facebook account??

2011 Resolutions..
For the few folks that keep in touch with me through this website.. Happy New Year!! . Hope this new year brings you health and love.
I am usually not a resolutions guy .. But I wanted to give it a try this year. And I am making them public, so that I have more incentive (read pressure) to reach them. Without future adieu, here they are
- Take a look at this picture
No.. not the part, where I am eating Jhanvi’s head .. But that big fat gut hanging out for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Loosing that is my first resolution. - Second picture..
This is a picture of the traffic to this site, according to Google. I want to double that by the end of this year. In other words, write more often . - The third resolution doesn’t have a picture . I have always wanted to get a CISSP certification. Well, this year, I am going to stop thinking and act on it.
- And finally, the fourth one is to go on a decent vacation. Ideally, some place exotic ..And hopefully, we will have a visa to visit it.
