Myth about Fats and Carbohydrates (Sindhuja)

For as long as I can remember, there has always been a debate about which diets work and which don’t. The preoccupation, especially among women, to lose pounds and keep it off has resulted in a variety of diet pills, diet plans and work out programs. I believe that ...

Building My Django Weblog: Part 5 (Seemant)

The time came for me to start thinking about where to host my site. And although I have some experience with using dreamhost to host sites, I wasn’t particularly thrilled with that idea. Instead, I started thinking about using a VPS. That would allow me to use gentoo linux ...

Building My Django Weblog: Part 4 (Seemant)

In one of my earliest blog posts, I wished my sister a happy birthday. Today is exactly two years since, so Happy Birthday to Sindhu :)

A Quick Note About my Feeds and Blogs (Seemant)

Hi Everyone,

I’ve just finished rebuilding the feeds on this site, and I thought I’d let you all know of some changes. The feeds I put in place when the website launched are still active and will continue to be for a while (for your convenience).

Building My Django Weblog (Seemant)

For quite a few months, I’d been wanting to build my own weblog. You might recall that I had started using Django to code up my ex-employer’s websites. Well, that was a fantastic experience, educationally, because I got exposed to a really great framework. As part of that ...

Subaru Update (Seemant)

Well, as I feared, the insurance company decided to declare the car totaled. Actually, the body shop to where the car was towed declared it totaled even before then. And so began the long, arduous process of the value of the car being judged, and renumerations paid. What a painful ...
