Ye Meri Life Hai!

I was waiting for Ahmadabad to be mapped on Google Earth!

And finally when I started Google Earth today found a new detailed layer for Ahmedadabad(Ahmadabad). Moreover various cities from Gujarat like Mehsana, Vadodra, Surat, Div-Daman, Veraval Patan and sea coast area are also mapped with high resolution satellite images. The newly developed city of Ahmedabad (off side the river) is not mapped entirely. Here are some snaps of Ahmedabad:

I remembered I have posted a comment on Vinod’s Blog about how much time they will take to fly from Kalol to Mumbai, and now the time has arrived.

Really, I am amazed and pleased to see ariel view of my house from Google Earth and flying to various parts of city.
{For security reasons, I’ve now uploaded ariel view of my house .}

If you still don’t have Google Earth, get it NOW!

“why not to write about Microsoft, when working on their technologies?” so I created a separate category for it and now, I’d be writing about them regularly. Here is the first one, about their security contest.

Microsoft India has come up with security competition Security Shoot Out. In the stage one, you have to answer 30 security questions, and they will shortlist 1000 participants whom have to answer 30 questions again for stage two. For the last stage, 100 participants, will be given code base on .NET 2.0 having security related bugs. Stage 1 has been started from 20th March & will end on 19th April 2006.

And about prizes, killing custom build Scorpio passion, laptops, pocket PCs and may be an offer to work on latest technologies with Microsoft.
