42klines

I am travelling. So there may not be any updates for 3 weeks. I may post photographs from my trip to my Flickr hangout though. Just in case you are interested in photography, please do drop in and say hi there.

42klines is live!

Keeping tradition with the first introductory program code snippet, I am preserving the title of this post to Hello World! which Wordpress helpfully provided. After all software is what this blog is all about.

As mentioned in the about page of this blog, this blog is meant to record my own experiences when playing with software, writing code, working with people and exploring new ideas. If you find value in whatever you find here, please leave your comments, insights and your own experiences. The posts on this blog may not appear regularly, as I do not plan to blog according to a maintained schedule. I’ll blog about only those things that I consider valuable to anyone technically or personally. People interested in systems programming, algorithms, performance and software design in general may find the blog most useful. Sometimes blog posts may be about new ideas that I am pondering upon, so anyone interested in opening a startup may be interested as well. I’ll write more about why I’d like to give away ideas like this in a later post. I hope to work on any posts here on weekends so most of the time they may appear on Saturday or Sundays.

To keep track of any new content, you can grab the RSS feed. In case you haven’t used any RSS feed reader as yet, I recommend Google Reader. Firefox users may find this extension useful. You may also want to try the up and coming fav.or.it which is in closed beta for now. If you register on the website you may get an invitation. Do let me know how it fared in your evaluation.

In case you don’t like a web based reader, you can try Mozilla Thunderbird (though it has some quirks of its own).

Update (Mar 2, 2008): Here is a review of fav.or.it.
