A few days back Text Link Ads released their Blog Juice Calculator.
It uses number of subscriptions at Bloglines, your Technorati and Alexa rankings and the incoming links from Google to arrive at a figure.

Logged in yesterday to my Windows Live Mail account and was completely blown away.
Firstly, the interface loaded in a jiffy, which was a really good experience from my past experiences with Windows Live Mail.
Next, it had a whole new look. You now have several user selectable themes and colors available at the click of a [...]

It was coming, coming and it finally has
I am now a proud owner of the Nokia N73.

Had two completely antithetical days yesterday and today (actually, that would be day before and yesterday, given the time of this post).
Awoke early Sunday morning and went for the 8.30am mass for which we were singing. I haven’t awoken at 7.30am since a long long time and as a result I ended up feeling extremely [...]

It was waiting to happen and it has.
Regular readers would have read a few rants about my internet connection.
I have a “broadband” connection with Exatt.

That is fine, but of late I have been noticing that the IP Addresses are all blacklisted in Spam [...]

If you have been using Google Reader, you would have noticed that it doesn’t work with Opera as of now.

In Opera, visit http://www.google.com/reader/ and then right [...]
