Ranjith’s Castle

We enjoyed the two days with ease. But who toiled at the back end are the ones who made it happen as a great success. I know from my personal experience, the toughness behind assembling and making a party of a very like minded and closely coupled people. It is far more tougher to take a mass of strangers and keep everyone at ease.

Great Cheers to you Guys :

• Kiruba @ Kiruba.com
• Ganesh @ Rupya.com

Guys please forgive me if I missed any one in the above list. Keep me posted, I will update.

Expecting more to happen in the same way.

Cheers - Ranjith

Hey I have missed some of the things missed out in the last days presentations. Here they are :

Adel made a nice presentation of how we should concentrate on the web interface in the currrent situation. He pointed out IRCTC.co.in and the Hindu as two worst designed websites of India. Yeah the Indian railways site is a honey comb with ads around it as bees. But it is the site that changed the life of people and made easier to book tickets and the beauty is the delivery time they take to deliver the tickets. No matter how bad, we enjoy using it.  Hindu on the other hand has not used the real estate welll..

Amit Ranjan of Uzano Consulting talked before Adel on the same lines of the User Interface design and was nice that how well the user interacts with it irrespective of how you did your backend work. His pointer towards the Iceberg nicely illustrated what we look was only a 1/8th of what is done. He did some of his company’s Survey tool
He is the front runner of the BarCamp Delhi. Had a great time talking to him on the first day.

There was call to everyone for the participation in the Open source movement of Linux in India - OOPs I missed these guys website

There was a show on How to make money by  Blogging. I missed it due to a prallel track.

I welcome one more guy from LeadStep, Vijay Anand, looking at a way to bring in an other form of SSN number of US into India. I would like him to ride on an already existing number of PAN Number or the number of the Voter Identity card which more people are interested in. That was true from his words that it took only 15 minutes for hom to start a company in US and Indian procedural system made him wait for 96 days to make it.  I have to write to him to get some more details on his work to India.

Hope I have not missed anything in my posts…!

Cheers - Ranjith
