So.. I had wanted to attend un-conferences since a long time now, but didn’t really get to know the events on time, or the events were outside of Delhi/NCR. So this even was the perfect opportunity for me to explore! The even was held at the Noida Sector 59 office of Impetus Software, which was quite close to my own office, so i kinda knew the area a bit. The event was scheduled to start at 9:30 AM. I, along with Deepak, Prateek and Apoorv reached the venue around 9:15 AM. We did all the registration formalities, and then proceeded to the conference room. We were one of the first few people to arrive there. The first “known” person we met there was Amit. He greeted us with his usual smile (dunno whether he recognized me and Apoorv or not though ). Then we met this really friendly guy named Ankit, who had come with his baby daughter, who was later declared as the youngest attendee of the BarCamp

And i’ve already upgraded!
On Monday, September 24, 2007, WordPress version 2.3 was released to the public. For information on the changes and improvements in this new version, see Changelog for 2.3.
For Version 2.2, the database version (db_version in wp_option) is 6124.
Two of the top five ideas are implemented in this release: Plugin Update Notification (http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=30&page) and Tags! (http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=59), and another with very high rating Revamp the default blogroll (http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=560).
See WordPress 2.3 Theme Compatibility and Plugin Compatibility to confirm the theme and plugins you’re using are compatible.
My hutch connection was disconnected yesterday without prior notification on the basis of “verification”. I cannot make any outgoing calls and SMSs even though i have a balance of around 1800 Rs. Incoming calls do not show the caller ID. Now even though i have submitted the required documents (not that i didn’t submit them when i bought the connection, i did submit a photocopy of my Driver’s License!), my connection has not been activated. There are problems with the network too. Calls get dropped, network congestion. I cannot dial Hutch Care “111″ from my mobile. It always shows network busy. So if i need to talk to customer care, i need to dial “9811098110″ from my landline and pay for it while i listen to “you and i” for an hour!
What kind of service is this? Im am extremely dissatisfied, and would NOT recommend hutch to anyone. I myself cannot shift cause i have an OLD number, otherwise i would have shifted to another provider.
In Short: Do yourself a favour and dont buy Hutch..
Ok.. So i was tagged by my friend Manas. So here are 5 things about me:
1. Love technology and gadgets: Im the kinda guy who’d like to own the latest hardware/mobile phones, but alas my budget does not permit :p
2. Im an introvert: I get like at least 20-25 genuine emails a day (naah, not spam). And im a very busy person. The internet is my connection to the world. Im not the outgoing and mixing types And i wont bug someone unless i really need some help from him. Live and let live
3. I dont keep people close to me: Hehe.. Its just that i dont keep anyone “that” close to me. And no one is that important for me. This is due to some past bad experiences i had with people really close to me. I have that “i dont care” attitude.
4. Love driving: Im a driving FREAK! I can drive for kilometers! I’ve driven everywhere: highways, mountains, beaches, you name it, i’ve driven there. Once went to Nainitaal from delhi in my Maruti Esteem. Was a pleasure driving in the hills!
5. My ambition: I want to take part in a rally race, and i really really wanna own a decent sports car. Lets see if my fate takes me to it!
Now my turn to tag people muaahhahaha
I tag Mayank, Harsh, Ankur, Ashish and Sathya!
Finally after a month of planning, i bought the Nokia N70! Im *very* happy with it! The sound quality in the headphones is simply amazing! The camera is also of amazing quality! Hopefully this phone should satisfy my appetite for another 2-3 years

Hi everyone!
As many of you know, i was hosting my blog from Zeeblo, and it has been down since the past 4 days now! I think its gone for good. So anyways, i’ve taken hosting and a brand new domain name http://www.kalpiknigam.com from Ashish. I know i’ve lost a LOT of data due to my carelessness (was too lazy to backup). Anyway i hope now since im on a paid hosting, ill have 99.9% uptime with regular backups. Inconvenience to everyone is deeply regretted and if anyone of you finds that a link to your blog is missing from my linkroll, do notify me and ill update it ASAP.
Thanks!
