GNUnify

Attended talk by Amit on Tomcat for Enterprise World at GNUnify 2004.

IMTEX and Free Internet Access

I am at IMTEX, Mumbai.
I just visited 1/5 of stalls and my feet are hurting.
Its a huge exibition, with mind blowing crowd.

Absolutely amazing machine tools from Indian
companies, many of them in collaboration with German,
US, and Japanese companies.

I never had an idea than Indian companies are in
manufacturing of different types machines tools.
Lot of electronics components are from US/Japanese
companies though. (example: Siemens control boards on
CNCs).

Surely there got to be some truth in this slashdot
story:

India Becoming a Major Hub for Western Job Seekers

Last thing I expeted here was free (gratis) internet
access at decent bandwindth. :-)

Bangalore Visit

I was in Blore (1-7 December 2003). I was able to visit lot of
places in short time. Thanks to good public transport system, eicher map and
Lonely Planet India Guide

Lalbaug botamical garden is amazing with different kinds of ponds, trees, flowers, a lake. Bull temple, Tipu's palace are small but beautiful. IISC campus, MG road are worth visiting.

Satyam iway allowed me to access internet with decent speed.

Above all LB 2003 was great. Nat and Miguel were hillarious. Naba was cool.
