500th-post

Yup. This is the 500th Post on Technically Personal! This big, round and scary number of 500 is reached after chopping down and unpublishing few posts. It includes a couple of guest posts as well. I had no clue that I would reach this magical figure when I started blogging for Technically Personal. From Wordpress.com to Wordpress.org hosted on a free webhost and then on a shared host and then on this beautiful VPS hosting from Knownhost, it has been quite a journey really. There have been different stages of blogging when I retrospect.
  1. Blogging --> my passion,
  2. Blogging --> fun,
  3. Blogging --> investment,
  4. Blogging --> pain,
  5. Blogging --> fun, passion and a profession.
I am currently in that last stage and hope to be there for a long time. Over these months, I got to meet and network with some wonderful people online who have helped me directly or indirectly to make TechPP what it is now. To name a few - Pavan, Rockstar_Sid, Stratos, Kim, Nirmal, Ajith, Harsh, Madhur and many many more. And all the Loyal readers of TechPP, thank you for checking in regularly...
gmail-logo The good news is that the GMail team has increases the maximum allowable limit of the attachment size to 25 MB from the previous limit of 20 MB. This is obviously nice to hear since GMail users can pass on files/data upto 25mb per email easily without having to look for third party file sharing websites like Rapidshare. But the catch here is that you may not be able to send larger attachments to contacts who use other email services with smaller attachment limits!! "With Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 25 megabytes (MB) in size. Please note that you may not be able to send larger attachments to contacts who use other email services with smaller attachment limits. If your attachment bounces, you should invite them to Gmail". Did you read the part in BOLD? Doesn't it look like a cheese to trap the mouse? Even though GMail is gaining popularity over the last few years, it is still lagging behind Yahoo Mail and Hotmail. This might be a trick to entice new users using other popular eMail services into GMail by offering bigger attachments! The search is monopolized, the ad-space over the world...

fifa-cup-finals-online

Late Wednesday night, history was created. The United States stormed into their first ever FIFA confederations cup Final since they started playing in 1916. Just a few days ago, they were on verge of elimination from the Confederations Cup, but now they find themselves in the final of the World Cup test event thanks to a stunning 2-0 victory over top-ranked Spain. They will be meeting the mighty Brazilians in the finals this Sunday, 28th June 2009 and personally I am undecided whom to root for. Brazil has always been my favorite team but then the way US have played in the last week, I won't be surprised if they give Brazil a run for their money in the finals at Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg. It surely gonna be rocking!! The FIFA Confederations cup 2009 final match between US and Brazil will be telecast live on ESPN, but in case you are in office or prefer to watch the match online you can do so as well.
