I wish every day was a holiday...

Ah... Relaxed.Hmmm
5 days leave + 4 extra days{2(sat, sun)} = ....yipeee thats 9 days!!!!
Oh i love being on a holiday.

So i'll be back to work by the next week thats by the 29th.
Why am i taking about work.I am on a holiday man.
Firstly i gotta go to cochin, yeh thats mumbai-goa-cochin.Once i am there i gotta go to all the relatives.Listen to their talk ehh.
It would be great if i get a change to play football.Its been almost a month i've kicked the ball.oh ill love it, if i get it.Football remids me that my favourites(Arsenal no doubt) lost to Barcelona 2-1. Didnt get a chance to see that match though sound's like the match was pathetic(the refree was favouring the barca's) .
Internet..Thats one thing to look around for, as long as u get access to my mail i am happy.Gonna have a tuff time without the internet.

A little bit of moving around the place, attend a religous ceremony.Thats more than five days gone.
Gonna be back home by monday.

Oh i gotta pack my stuff before i leave.
yup..

Boy, I really had to squeeze in time to put up this post.

Starting of with BarCampMumbai, it was a tremendous success.Lot of great talks along with some lousy ones though.
The best part of the it was unlike the boring sessions it was something like shoot at site.Yeh..thats what made the barcamp mumbai more interesting that i ever thought it would be.

To start off the barcamp one guy comes up some mobile sms stuff, in the begning it started looking a bit boring(his voice could not be heard).But as the flow went on it picked up pace & there were loads of questions.Eventually it went off to a good end.

Hmmm(scratching head..) i dont remember exactly who followed next but i'll list the ones i remember.
Oh yes, then there were these two guys(kaustubh and shreyas) who gave a live demo of their internet radio.To be more precise its well known as INFINITY RADIO.I liked the idea of promoting indian rock(nobody seems to notice them), but this can suerly develop as a platform for all the rock starts who need more publicity.

Oh too much of radio stuff.Next on fire was something regarding tagging, he displayed a web 2.0 model(half working) :) tagsufer.The idea behind creating that hack was, he couldnt findin some data which he was searching over del.icio.us.Skipping the basics of searching can lead to new ideas.
Great..
Then thers one guy coming up and started speaking some shit.He was like i dont know .. well forget it.What i know is somebody came up and wrote a nice little note no the board whic read something like "Hacking EMACS Vadapav 3min....".Oh i said, gotta go for this.
hacking emacs even though the time was not sufficient the guy tried squeezing in.Great job though.
Well i returned to the main room i found that Atul's talk was over.OH Shit!!
Missed a great topic on "moblie computing".

Ther's smething called as neobinaries a web listing for most of the well known WEB 2.0 sites.The look and feel of te site was really good.Great work..Go to visit this site to know what they mean by neobinaries.

Coppermine is what the name is, but its a very old...... way of implementing a photogallery.free though.Hmm..Looks ok, not great.Something of a photoblog was also mentiond by Tariq sani.

Loads & loads of knowledge to gain from these geeks.

Oh i no more patience to write.
There were some more things like webaroo(they gave a DVD version of webaroo's wikipedia pack).some more talks on web 2.0, a yahoo guy sharing his piece of information,india 2.0, a presentation by some DJ ... i forgot his name.

Did i miss something, yehh thats the fabulous Lunch which was organised.

To summarise.Most of the topics were based on the web(web 2.0 almost all) and mobile related technologies.The best part was all the talks were about latest technologies or the upcomming one's.Some of them were outdated topic though.

Was a great day at IIT mumbai.Cheers!! Barcampmumbai.Looking forward to these type of events in future.

Yet another weekend.
Yeh...Not the sleepy saturdays any more.Barcampmumbai (IIT Mumbai powai) is the place where i'll be on saturday.
Barcamp : Its more of participant's and less(actually none) of spectators.

What a great opportunity to meet all the geeks under a single roof.
Awaiting to check out people with different ideas, thoughts, technologies, etc.
Wel... better experienced than said.
Looking forward to some interesting topics like web 2.0, Next-generation Internet, Ajax and many more.

Hope i make it up this time.

Hey cool poster though..
