Air Deccan website jammed again

July 8th, 2005 by gaurav | 5 Comments | Filed in

Air Deccan has announced the release of 3,300 tickets priced at Re 1 and 6,500 tickets priced at Rs 500 (excluding taxes) for reservations in September and October. see here

Air Deccan, India’s first no-frill, low-cost airline website has become a target of their own low pricing strategy. As soon as they announce any scheme, people start rushing to their website in search of air tickets for Rs.1 onwards and their website becomes unavailable or so slow that it almost becomes almost impossible to look for fares.

Its time for them to upgrade their servers + technology to offer the very best if they want to remain in contention for the best low cost airline in India.

World’s most ’spammed’ person

July 8th, 2005 by gaurav | No Comments | Filed in

It has to be someone like Bill Gate who gets 4 million emails a day making him arguably the most spammed person in the world.

What amuses me about this that he has a seperate department for himself to sort & filter all those emails. Also lot of spam filters are in place to block all those unwanted emails. At the end of day he gets to read around 10 emails per day that shows those filters are working very hard day & night to block unwanted emails.

At a media meet in November 2004,Bill Gates said, “Two years from now, spam problem will be solved.”

That will be worth waiting !!!

You don’t need to go to space anymore to see how Earth looks from outside, you can just download* the Google Earth software and move the earth with your mouse clicks. Google Earth is really amazing , you have to see it to believe it and once you get on to it you just feel like seeing the whole earth at one go.

Day before yesterday I installed it and I just loved it. As per one of my earlier posts that my first target would be Eiffel Tower , though I was not able to find it. Here are some of the screenshots that I took. Click on them to see bigger pictures.

*Though Google Earth is not downloadable from their website but you can still download it finding on Google just type download google earth and you’ll quite a few links from where it can be downloaded.
