Adiós 2008 and Plans for 2009

Adiós 2008 and welcome 2009.
Well 2008 year had its good/bad in its usual way for me. Well I can split the last year in to 3 periods
- Jan – April 2008 was a good one with me settling @ my job and finally getting over my debts back in India. Not much of activity going on here except I learned Adobe Spry.
- May – Aug 2008 was the slow period or the bad to me since I gained a lot of weight around 10 pounds which was basically since I lost a lot of sleep during this time. I learned Coldbox during this period so its not that bad.
- September – December 2008 was the best period since I had a lot of things to do like the trip to grand canyon,joined ESRI as a full time employee,posted lot of my podcast, won a Adobe web premium suite and got myself a new home back in India.
I pretty much expect the same kind of cycle in 2009 as well with less no of bad days. I don’t have any big plans for 2009 but here are some that I believe I could achieve in the next 365 days.
- Lose that 10 pounds that I gained last year. I have already started working on it and lost 3 7 pounds in a month so I expect to lose that 10 by end of April 2009. Its slow but works for me.
- Get my parents to USA one that has been failing for the last 2 years.
- Jump into Adobe Flex.
- Talk/read less about the srilankan ethnic issue which I was doing a lot during 2008. Its just too dragging and I have strong appetite to read about it so I’m planning to reduce that appetite.
- Increase my blogs viewers base and posts more on tech rather than on politics. It would be hard since 2009 is a election year in India.
Lets see how much I can do in this year.
I will release my blogs stats for 2009 by this weekend.

I’m dedicating this song to my friend Karthik Sundaram who is over bloober Kathal Mannan. When I get a chance I will update the video with his picture slide show and show to the world his true colors.
Here are his sample pictures and his orkut profile link.

Girls Beware Kadhal Mannan is here for u….:)
Bitten by the ATT data bug
I was caught unaware, unprepared and without guard when it bit me.
Yes, today I was bitten by a huge bill of 120$ of data charge for 12,000KB of data for my ATT wireless phone service. So thats roughly a penny per kilobyte which is one of the costliest KB that I have ever paid for in my life.
Probably my new phone N85 should have connected to the internet without my knowledge during the initial days of buying it.
If you don’t intend to use data over wireless please call your provider immediately and block/opt-out of it A.S.A.P because one day or the other you will be bitten by this bug and it will be painful.
BTW my friends have warned me about this for a some time but I didn’t care about it much but today I feel the pain.
You have been warned !!!!!
BTW this wouldn’t happen in India because data plans are too cheap then here.
