Updated [20 Aug, 2010]: I have updated the plugin and the article. If you had already downloaded v0.1 (did you?), I suggest you upgrade to v0.2. Couple of days back I got a mail from Thamizinian, asking for a plugin to support Indli voting widget, just like what my previous plugin did for Thamizmanam & [...]

Source code for Chess UCI Protocol Tracer Utility
This tool has shown more popularity than I expected. Common question from the readers is whether I can share the source code. I am releasing it here, no strings attached. A copy of your SW (if you make use of this) will be nice, though. Link to this post!
HowTo: Enable Aero mode in Windows server 2008 R2
I recently was setting up a build server and chose Windows Server 2008 R2 to be the OS.

Mid-life crisis of a software professional
I just added one more year to my age yesterday. Thanks to my wife, the day was special. But, It is scary actually, thinking about how my graduation 8 years back feels as if it happened only yesterday! Time *is* flying. Looking back, I have had my share of moments – moments I feel proud [...]
Virus group 29A disbanded – who’s next?
Couple of weeks back, 29A officially shut down business. 29A’s published work was one of the best (IMHO) sources for cutting edge virus technologies. Their e-zines provided a sampling of what was happening in the Virus underground during that period. This was the last message posted by VirusBuster in their site: I tried to contact [...]

How to use Windows Vista for more than 30 days?
There is a nice method posted by Ed Bott of Zdnet on extending the Vista’s trial period to 120 days (~4 months). I stumbled on this only recently, while seriously contemplating installing Vista ultimate in a Core2 Duo + 965GF combo. Nice trick, if you need more time to become comfortable with Vista before taking [...]

CCleaner – The best utility for cleaning up the temporary files, IE/Mozilla/Opera cache and lots of other junk. This [...]
