Darren over at Problogger has a guest post by technosailor on  optimising web pages for faster load time post on some of the points to take care of when optimising your blog.
Most bloggers start with a small site hosted on a shared server and as most shared servers can’t handle the kind of traffic a good blogger is likely to see, it is generally a good idea to optimise your blog and carefully monitor the response times.
The post covers the use (or minimal use of) images,  avoiding third party scripts, caching and (surprise, surprise …

According to wikipedia, a filesystem is:
is a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them.
It is the filesystem which provides us the abstraction of folders, directories and sub-directories that we use to store files on a computer. Infact, it is the filesystem only which lets us store and retrieve any data that we store in a computer.
Filesystems are usually a part of the kernel, the heart of the operating system and the code runs in a privileged …

I’m in Srinagar right now and will try and update the blog as much as I can. Hang on for a travelogue which will be coming soon. I plan to visit Gulmarg definitely and a couple of other places, if possible. Wait for a full post and pics from the trip soon.

[tablet] Michael Arrington from TechCrunch recently posted about a tablet PC that he wanted built. And I have to admit that the mock up looks very cool.

So, Google launched Google Knol today and the whole blogosphere is talking about it. That’s understandable. It’s not everyday that Google releases a new product which gets its own sub domain. But, what I don’t understand is: why is everyone, including reputed blogs like Lifehacker, Problogger and others calling it a wikipedia killer ?
I think that this is just another way for Google to display adsense advertisements on the internet. And the real competitors are sites like hubpages.com which work on almost exactly the same model, that Google Knol is …

I’m sure you’ve heard people tell you that Unix (and Linux) is a multiuser/multitasking operating system. But, what does that mean ?
Well, for one, you can create multiple users on linux and let all of them use the machine at the same time, by letting them login remotely (We’ll cover this later). And thus, Linux is a multiuser operating system.

First of all I’ll get my credentials out of the way. I have been using computers since the last 10 or so years. That’s not much by a lot of people standards, but I like to brag about it anyway !
I used windows for the first year of my computer using life, got bored, moved to Linux, was fascinated and used Redhat, fedora, debian, slackware, ubuntu for the next 6 or so years.
I then got myself a Mac, a 2004 model iBook (I like the way Macheads use the year …

MYSTIC IN BALI
Having seen tons of banners and being a hard core Chinese food fan, I decided to check out this place with my two friends. Considering its a second restaurant from those who run “Big Chill” (one of the best Italian joints in Delhi), this place already has a great reputation to back it up, but will it live up to its Italian brothers? Thats what i went to find out?
The decor as such is more Bhutanese than Chinese. Since I have been to Bhutan, i recognized a lot …
