It's been a while since i posted.
Recently i took part in a volunteer program with Go International to help setup MozCamp Asia 2011 event. This event was organized by Mozilla Corporation to bring together different communities who work and contribute to Mozilla-related projects.
As part of the volunteer program i got to attend some of the talks hosted by the conference and meet some wonderful people who in my opinion motivated me a lot. Some of the talks i had the honor to attend were:
  • Developer Engagement @ MDN By Stormy Peters
  • The State of Thunderbird By "I forgot the speakers name"
  • From Web Developer to Firefox Hacker By David Dahl
Below are some useful links:
Mozilla Developer Network: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/
Mozilla College Recruiting Program (For Students): http://college.stage.mozilla.com/blog/
Learn JavaScript (The Fun way): http://www.codecademy.com

If you are interested in participating in contributing to Mozilla projects, please visit their site at http://www.mozilla.org/contribute/ for more information on how you can do that.
PS: You don't have to be a programmer, you can help localize a lot of their products and so on.

Firstly let me start by saying that i've never been a fan of the iPhone. Until now atleast. Well, technically not the iPhone itself that im  a fan of but a product made to be used by the iPhone. 
The folks at photojojo.com have made a mount device that enables you to use your normal SLR lenses with the iPhone.

Not enough GNU in GNU/Linux 06/02/2011

Well, i suppose most Linux or unix based OS users have come across the term GNU/Linux and even got caught or started flame wars on this issue. I recently found this article with a chart showing really how much of GNU is in Linux. And maybe it might help shed light in the issue of calling it Linux or GNU/Linux without getting kicked out of an IRC chatroom :P 

Click here for the full article

Here's the chart based on Ubuntu distribution

For fans of the game "Angry Birds" this might be good news for you especially if you use google chrome or chromium as your web browser. The folks at Roxio made it possible to play an html5 version of this game on chrome/chromium on any OS. 
So without wasting time, download google chrome (if you don't have it) here  To play angry birds on chrome click here

A company in the UK has made a game where players have to commute to play it, it invo lves travelling from one part of London to another and points are collected through this. This sounds like an interesting type of interaction especially with games but is there a downside to it? More on this story from the BBC.

20 years of Linux 04/07/2011

I know i'm supposed to be doing my assignment but this is important too :D. 


I won't write much, but i want to thank everyone who has been reading my blog and contributing to it. I would also like to thank Linus Torvalds for his inspiration that he gives to many including me. Thanks to the good fellows at the Linux Foundation. And to wish Linux and anyone who uses Linux a happy 20th Birthday. 

For those who might be a bit confused, maybe this milestone chart can give you a clearer idea:

Oh yeah, and there's a video too;
