This one's not just for Punjabis but for all those who have faced Punglish, (Punju English). Sorry, you probably either need to be from North India or have lived/visited that region of India a number of times to get Punglish (i.e. Punjabi English) I like 'A is for Aiscreame' but read on..... A is for Adjust. Punjabis will always ask you to adjust...

With the release of Windows Vista SP1, Windows Vista is more capable than ever of addressing contemporary business challenges. With a focus on continuous quality improvement, SP1 offers benefits in six key areas: 1. Device coverage: 98 of the top 100 devices are now supported, and more than 47,000 drivers have been added since Windows Vista was released...

It took a while for me to get around to this but the P2P Code to go along with my MSDN Article "P2P Programming with WCF and .NET v3.5". I don't know why this code was not available on MSDN in the first place. Any ways, the can be downloaded from here (456.2 KB).

Guardian has an interesting story on how Bluetooth is being used to track people's movement in Bath. The concern is that the 10 or so scanners not only pick up your mobile's ID (which you have set) but can also pick up your Identity via your name. email and phone numbers. So think carefully before switching on your Bluetooth on the mobile!

This more than a "Power Pack" and fixes a whole host of issues including the (in)famous data corruption bug . If you have been living in a cave then you can catch up here on what the fuss is all about ? Here are the highlights of the fixes: Support for home computers that are running Windows Vista x64 editions Backup of Home Server shared folders...

I recently got to know that Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw passed away and the ripe age of 94; I am especially sad to hear that - I cannot explain it - might by my army roots. I think fellow Army brats might get it. May he rest in peace!

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemies eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead, long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my...

This is not one of the "jokes", but is one of the "real" ones I got. Maybe about time I got around to installing Firefox 3 then. :)

As I said in the last post I have been using Live Mesh for a few weeks now. Since then, Microsoft has released an update to Mesh; those of you who are using it and not updated it yet, I would suggest you do. It will restart the Windows shell once the update is finished, but I would recommend to save your work before you start the update and bounce Windows...

You might have heard of the new "Cloud" service from Microsoft called Live Mesh . You can get more details on the team's blog and a few videos . While I have the Mesh bits installed for a few weeks I only recently started using it and was very handy when I wanted to get to some information on one of the Wiki's running at home. I have some...

Dell's Crystal LCD's finally are available now in the UK and they are cool (and still pricey). Hmm, next batch of EB (a.k.a Toy Money) from Avanade is going to be available in a few months ... hmm .... Update: fixed the second link - copy and paste error.

Over the last few weeks I have heard a lot of people complain about the HTC TyTn (and more so these days with the new iPhone out now). But the phone itself is not bad - but if you are still running Windows Mobile 5 on it then sorry you don't get the rights to complain - that OS itself has loads of issues. So, if you are like me with a TyTn I would suggest...

I currently have a HTC TyTn and was thinking of getting either the new HTC Diamond or the HTC Diamond Pro and was not sure how they stack up size wise; but that is there sizeasy.com come in the picture and help me see what the three of them look like together . Diamond Pro is a little thinner and lighter than the TyTn, the question for me is do I really...

I think Snap Previews were a good idea earlier but now for me it has just started getting irritating and for my blog I have switched it off.

If you got a fingerprint reader on your machine and are running Vista then think twice before installing SP1! About 7-8 months ago I got a new tablet ( Lenovo X61 ) which is a pretty sweet machine with Vista pre-installed and all was well until I installed SP1 and then the thing won't even boot. I tried to get into safe mode but no luck; I tried repairing...

Wow! What a week - so much talk of the next version of Windows code-named "7". Of course the multi-touch (see video below) is what everyone is talking about. Now, this is cool because it is the evolution of the Surface which is scaled down to a screen. If you have not seen a Surface - it is quite big and works with five infrared cameras which picks...

I am thinking of getting the HTC Diamond. If you are interested in its features then check out these guys who have had it and been using it for a week and have been posting a daily video on what works and what does not.

It has been a while since I blogged - not only have I been traveling but also been quite heads down at work (and out of trouble hopefully). Interesting mix of things in this post that has piled up over the weeks. Wikipedia 3D Explorer Photo Editing with Photoshop Express , Picnik or Resizr .
