This website has been
an like endless project ; I started thinking of such a thing back in 1997 : the
main attraction then was the fact that you'd become among ones those who have a
website : back then conventional wisdom classified people into 2 wide divides:
ones that have it and ones that don't. But with the progress of time, other
advantages became clear as well : I mean now it's more of a contributory effort
that any thing else... in a very short time the whole web has become a
real big BIG source of information: so why not contribute to it yourself as
well.... it might not be that good but still there's always the chance of
improvement. Need less to say this site building episode
has taken a lot unexpected twists and switchbacks. I've lost 3 hard-drives in
this duration... upgraded my system twice... thrown away a PC once (that was
when I did not come to know of the wonders of Linux, that can bring to life
a dead beat 486 or P1). Missed my self-proclaimed deadlines at times more
than I can remember . In this period I've switched operating systems at least 5
times (unfortunately the four were from our beloved Microsoft folks) But any how since now at my present location
I have broadband internet access, a decent multi-OS PC, some amount of free time
as well, therefore I think if I don't do it now... then this task shall
have to wait till kingdom comes for its completion. But that’s nothing new. I’m sure similar
things (or worse) happen during your projects. OK Enough of nostalgia... the main purpose as
I already said to contribute for the collective benefit of the online community
(ok not the whole but at least for those who share my interest). CONTACT: For those of you who're interested, they may
send suggestions, remarks, reviews, criticism, hate mails, death threats etc to [email protected] LEGAL MATTERS: This site and its contents that
include, but are not limited to, the source code, manuals, tips, illustration in
fact every thing is provided on a as-is-basis: I don't condone any
particular operating system, software vendor, programming tool, or for that
matter, any ethnic, political, racial point of view or any other thing else that
can bring me into trouble. In short don't sue me... this is all done as public
service so shame on those of you who are even thinking of this !!
