Lot have changed…even I’ve grown physically, mentally & professionally… I couldn’t write because of various reasons and one big reason.. I’ve grown lazy. I moved my blog from markishonline.com to markish.in as well. Hopefully I start writing again. I wish I could.
www.mconvey.com is live now. You can send free sms to any Indian mobile numbers. No annoying ads. No registration required. The site is simple and quite straight forward. The only restriction that is in place is it asks you to register once you send 5 sms to a particular number on the [...]
I just noticed advertisements from ‘lkadvani.in’ started appearing in my blog posting something like “Advani for PM”…a smart campaigning strategy, the same one used to capture the most powerful seat in the world by Obama. He used it extensively for last two years for fund-raising and organizing political campaigns..!

Many number of times when watching a video, we love it to have offline as well. We search for the [...]
There have been instances when we need to schedule the backup process of MySQL databases regularly. So I thought of writing batch file that can be added in the Windows scheduler. I used the ‘mysqldump’ utility that comes with the MySQL distributions. It dumps the database definition along with all the data, indexes, triggers and [...]
Many of us say “Linux is not for me.., it’s for geeks…” Have you ever tried Linux? Nope… The reason is quite simple. You don’t see as many installations as Windows in household… even in offices. I agree installing Linux and getting it up running is little tougher and complicated then the counterpart Windows. [...]
As said in my previous post, Mashups are very powerful user-interface when handled with little common sense and creativity.
