Change.org goes 2.0!

After months of hard work and sleepless nights, we finally launched the second version of change.org. I generally try to talk about cool things I am working on; but this was not possible with change.org because there was no time to waste. Every minute counted.

Today we launched the second release of the site, which not only helps you support changes you would like to see in the world. But also find politicians that are willing to support your cause. We spent hours discussing if change politics should be a site of its own, because some of us did not support the idea diverting focus away from the non profits ( at some point I belonged to this camp ) but after careful evaluation we managed to find our own middle path.

Work, Exams or Smokes. Pick one... 

2.20AM: Working on some crazy sql queries & checking some performance issues.
2.21AM: Running around the house looking for smokes
2.22AM: Cant find any, going crazy. Hands are begining to shake.
2.22AM: Wondering if I should just go to the railway station and get smokes.

Been working for over 24 hours.
Have my Ancient Indian Culture (Bach Arts.) exam in less than 8 hours.
16 Books to go. Haven't even removed them out of the packaging it was delivered in.
Feel like I am running out of time. Should not have wasted those 3 hours geeking around.

2.23AM: Heading for the Railway Station to buy smokes.

Global Drum and Bass Port to Rails

David "DJ Cookie" Killingsworth and I have been working on this side project called Global Drum and Bass, we are near completion of the project, we have pratically everything we need lined up for this.

We are going to replace Xoop with Ruby on Rails. I have already touch my first internal Beta. Just waiting for a good design before releaseing a Public Beta (Web 2.0 Required from what I understand).

As with all our projects, this is going to be free of charge for everyone.

NTUI/CWM Goes Free Software

I arrived in Delhi a week back to help my friends organization migrate to GNU/Linux, finally I have ported everything to GNU/Linux, the entire system runs on Ubuntu Linux. But it did not go with the default GNOME desktop, not only do I find it harder to use, but not as sleek, and integrated as KDE. Only thing that seems to be left is a quick training session which I guess I will leave to Vivek, since he will be supporting the system from now on.

So all systems are set to go, and I am preparing to get back to Bombay. I was not very happy with the IBM hardware, specially their monitors, which have a pathetic resolution.
