Amit — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:14:53 +0000

I decided to celebrate this Holi in Riyadh. Well, not really. But that is how it is. I somehow landed up here. So what did I expect to see here? Actually no expectations. I did not realize that I am headed off to a desert until the plane touched the King Khalid International Airport @ Riyadh. [...]

Never ever I have realized the importance of proper documentation until I decided to try out Shibboleth, an open source web single sin-on solution. Shibboleth is supposedly the best open source alternative to achieve web single sign-on across applications, against more established enterprise offerings such as IBM’s Tivoli (TIM and TAM). While I do not intend [...]

The BIG demo!

I usually do not post my work related stuff. However, this one deserves a post! Over the last couple of weeks, I got an opportunity to be a part of a demo, whose scale dwarfs all the projects I’ve been so far associated with (barring one during the early stage of my career). And the client was none [...]

Google’s answer to Apple…

Amit — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:16:19 +0000

Google Voice Dialer (courtesy TechCrunch) Google and Apple certainly fall on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the business philosophies. Google is more of an open book while Apple is a closed one. With ‘Google Voice‘ being released last year, Google had created an iphone app for the same. However, Apple hadrejected it citing [...]

The ‘Missed Call’ game…

Amit — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:30:08 +0000

We all must have played the missed call game at some point. Ok let me clarify. What I refer to a ‘missed calls’ in this post are not genuinely missed calls, but calls which are made to someone deliberately and with a confidence that the other party wouldn’t receive them. A missed call is usually [...]

My ‘Book Push’ theory!

Amit — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:45:43 +0000

Although I am not an avid reader like my friend Ankit I do tend to read stuff on and off. While I want to read a lot, lack of time (and lazyness) prevents me to read as much. Also, when I have some free time I use it to decide whether to read, or to [...]
