…er, sort of. I mean, Anuj Bhardwaj was already on author on this blog – you might remember some of his articles posted earlier, say the one on Titan Rain. He’ll be making his own post soon about the shift. Anyway, thing is, he chose to discontinue his blog because of personal reasons – but his blog had some really good content. It would really be sad if that all that was lost. Even though in certain cases my beliefs are different from those of his – say, on open source, Apple-worship, or the OLPC – I’ll be the first one to admit that everyone has a right to their own beliefs (if they are well-argued out). :) So I decided to, with his permission, to re-publish his content here. It’s quite a lot of content, so I’ll be ‘releasing’ it slowly so that the RSS feed doesn’t get overloaded. It’ll take some time, but everything will be available again on the WWW. Sad though that the interesting comment-discussions won’t be available, but they’re safely archived – just that it’s best not to spend time manually copying comments back online.

So then, welcome aboard, Anuj. :)

I mean, what! Spain. Won. Damn. Maybe Germany just had it coming, because Spain hasn’t really a match since November 2006. Still, one would’ve expected Germany to win. And to think I couldn’t even watch the match because the stupid cable operator’s CAS system had a power outage (again). The even more irritating fact is that in this age of “Oh wow, so much information on the Internet!”, there weren’t credible places where you can watch the damn thing online. Dang. Hell, even finding properly updated scores is a headache. Finally, followed it on the Beeb. At least they’ve a good site which updates often. Maybe it’s good that I didn’t get to watch, since in the end Germany lost. Still. Online video has a long long way to go.
