I feel really bad when I have a look at blogroll and there are no new posts. What has happened to the so called blogger batch? Well, after a bit of inspection, I discovered that *they* (including me) have placements. But should you really give up what you like just because right now there is

How to make a fool of yourself?

Kulbir Saini — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 01:28:43 +0000

Configure your firefox to cache 1GB of data. Run squid proxy server on your machine in aggressive caching mode by f**cking up with refresh patterns. Then actually use the above proxy server to browse. Wasted two hours (5AM – 7AM) in debugging a clean and flawless php script on a remote server with pathetic response time because my

Kulbir Saini — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:10:03 +0000

I still remember when I launched saini.co.in in November last year. That was my first website that I owned and I came to know about things like hosting, domains and related things. This year, I am proudly launching cachevideos.com, which will act as an official website for my (now) popular squid plugin youtube cache. The

Switched from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3. Firefox started checking for updates for extensions and now you can see

Passed GSoC

I have passed my final evaluations for my Google Summer of Code’08 project IntelligentMirror. It was fun and excitement developing the squid plugin. The best thing was I didn’t have to move to a different place or go office for working. Work at home, do what you always wanted to do (open source stuff), talk

Whats keeping me busy lately

Kulbir Saini — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 06:42:00 +0000

Previous week was a bit more busier than I actually expected. I wonder why I have to attend a lot of meetings. There were 3-4 of them last week. Constant complaints about wireless are killing and sometime frustrating. As rishabh pionted out “Become a sysAdmin at IIIT” as a never do thing. I don’t agree completely.

Sudden affinity for conferences

Kulbir Saini — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:31:02 +0000

I never liked to attend any conferences irrespective of the theme and goal of the conference for the past three years. But after attending two-three conferences in recent months and coming across new people with matching interests, I am suddenly looking forward to attend any open source/linux/entrepreneurship conference in hyderabad or nearby cities. BTW, are

Kulbir Saini — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:22:30 +0000

Ever since I joined IIIT, I was getting closer and closer to Fedora. For almost the first two and a half years, I was a user and explorer (not the internet one ). I learnt to use and hack many things as I kept climbing up. Few months ago, I stepped up one
