End of a good project

For the past 8 months I have been working on omio. We got it from being just a mobile deals aggregator (for the UK) to also being a social network around mobile phones with reviews, ratings and stuff. Ruby on Rails was fun too... but then, that's always true, isn't it. Today was the last day of the project.

I have to say it's been a blast all throughout. First in Chennai with a new office and an extremely smart and totally insane team. Then in Pune with Sid, Aman, Deep and Anand... lot of fun.

Sid is rolling onto a .Net project and I did not try to hide the devlish pleasure I got watching him install Windoze on his machine :P But well, it's time he got out of his comfort zone. These rubyists... I tell you.

Aman, Deep and I remain on the beach (or bench, if you will) for a while. Hopefully something good will come out of it. Aakraman anyone?

The windrock, the clefthoof and the talbuk

So yesterday I reached level 68 :) and I am pretty happy about being able to make it in one day.

In an MMORPG, like WoW, getting a good group is everything. I had about 10 group quests to do. Group quests... not dungeon quests. I had been LFGing for a couple of weeks unsuccesfully. Because I play from India, people are mostly not online when I am.

But weekends are different and yesterday was amazing. Got 3 different groups and finished 15 tough quests in Nagrand on the way from 67 to 68. Here's the list of kills from yesterday :)

• Ban'thar (67 elite)
• Bach'lor (67 elite)
• Gutripper (67 elite)
• Tusker (68 elite)
• Gurok (68 elite)
• Durn the Hungerer (67 elite)
• Brokentoe (66 elite)
• Rokdar the Sundered Lord (67 elite)
• Skra'gath (67 elite)
• Blue Brothers (67 elite) x 2
  
• The Warmaul Champion (68 elite)
• Mogor (68 elite)
• Windroc Matriarch (66 elite)
• Cho'war the Pillager (67 elite)
• Warmaul Chef Bufferlo (66 elite)

Well... it was a perfect Sunday :)

Off to Shadowmoon Valley now...

Conkeror Rocks!!!

Would you rather use your keyboard than your mouse?

Are you unhappy about having to use your mouse while browsing?

Do you use plugins for mouseless browsing on firefox (I am assuming you don't use IE obviously) and are not happy with them?

Go checkout Conkeror now!!! It's amazing!

Conqueror is an emacs inspired, keyboard driven browser. It's a good way to learn emacs too, for those of you who want to start using it. The shortcuts are all almost the same.

So go check it out... and enjoy!!!

P.S. Remap your caps-lock to ctrl. Who needs caps-lock anyways?
