HTC Touch, my next phone?

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Update: I bought this phone and returned it back to the store after using it for 2 days. Poor Battery Life!

Been following up iPhone since quite sometime now and it already sounds ridiculous to wait for at least 1 year to get a phone like that. Something that comes close to it today is HTC’s new HTC Touch, maybe I’ll grab this Gadget sometime soon. Not wanting to use the phone primarily for Media like Music, Videos and Photos and more for business, HTC is probably worth the ride. It runs Windows, too much to handle for mac fanboy like me :(

RediffBol: The only indian IM tool?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007


I have stopped keeping a count on the number of messenger tools I use. Why? I use only one. The cute Adium for Mac. I have been pretty much following up Rediff Bol since the day the beta was up. However, I have never tried it after using it’s first beta version. It is just-another-im-tool and was fairly buggy at that point. I gave up Bol and Windows. ;)

However, RediffBol has an interesting indian perspective to it which makes it a worthwhile tool for a lot Indians esp. those who would like to use a local indian language to chat. Here is a quick poll that I ran to check how many did actually care for an Indian IM tool, and the results are not too bad.

ViM 7 Tip: Getting rid of ^M

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

It’s been over 15 months since I moved to Mac (Unix-based) OS. Not too often but I still have to modify code that I wrote during my Windows days. The most common problem opening a DOS-formatted text file (PHP file in this case) is getting a ^M at the end of every line. Which looks something like this:
