Fight SMS Spam

Here is a quick and easy way to report SMS spam for those using android phones - India Against Spam. The app is great making it just one click to report the offending message (to the provider/TRAI) AND delete the irritant.  Visit the page for more details.

See the screenshots below – action IS taken!

All it takes is a few clicks once in a while.

If 10 people can spam 100 inboxes, can't the 100 take the 10 down? 

Chennai Suburban Train Timings

Was searching for chennai suburban train timings the other day and was surprised to find that a quick google search did not fetch any site from railways showing the timings.

A friend suggested checking out http://erail.in. I have used this before - one of the best sites as far as train information is concerned - Google Class, if i may add - simple site, easy UI and great functionality.  To my pleasant surprise i found that the site now also had suburban train timings.

So thought would make a quick post. Am hoping google picks this up and lists this in their search results.  Hopefully someone finds this useful.

My First Blog Post

I could not believe that after being in software industry for more than a decade now, this is my FIRST blog post !!!! Maybe i did not feel the need to blog, although I've read through many a blog - sometimes to pass time and sometimes looking for information. This is maybe the modern way of thinking aloud and then maybe getting noticed or being useful. I've decided I'd try this out as well. i had to spend 2 days thinking about an address for the blog that was not already in use !!!
