What’s new on mumbaikar.com

Dinesh — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 09:04:07 +0000

When you build a site these days you can’t risk being an island. We have to play well with others, which means build technologies and frameworks that help our site connect with other sites. We have been working hard behind the scenes on a few technologies for mumbaikar.com and some very helpful content as well.

Citizen Watch – not the brand, but a citizen lookout where people like you and me who live in Mumbai can keep a lookout and report on what’s happening around you. We hope that this will eventually lead to us mumbaikars becoming more vigilant
Twitter – Come be a part of our conversation on twitter. Click on this link: http://twitter.com/amchimumbai
WordPress Plugin – We have built a little plugin that will help our registered bloggers cross post directly from their worpress site. In fact this post was written on deetox.com on wordpress and posted to Mumbaikar.com. If you would like to be part of the testing group and are a blogger please click the “Become a Blogger” link.

Over the comng few weeks we will be adding lots of new features and posts about our city that will help it to become an indispensable resource for Mumbaikars.

Cheers!

Etisalat iPhone plans don’t make sense

Dinesh — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:30:49 +0000

So I called up the Etisalat 101 helpdesk to find out if I could subscribe to an iPhone plan without the iPhone since I already have one. And the lady on the helpdesk said it is “impossible”.

Now bear in my mind, I have an original O2 iPhone from the UK and I also have a Vodafone India iPhone account where i didn’t need to buy a new phone since I already have one, so the same logic should apply here as well right? Wrong!

Etisalat forces you to buy a new phone because their systems or contracts don’t accommodate for this. So by doing this they just created a barrier to entry. Think of all those Jailbroken phones that people have who would prefer to move on to the proper packages.

Here is the real kicker, I have a postpaid unlimited 10GB data plan, which is cheaper than their most expensive data plan and has more bandwidth. I don’t know which moron created that pricing matrix but you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to realise that it makes no sense.

iPhone Trek Pics

Dinesh — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 05:14:19 +0000

There were times when I felt really lazy whipping out the SLR, so the iPhone was the closest thing at hand. Surprisingly, with a little iPhoto touch up, these have a unique charm of their own. You never know when a good photograph will come by, so it was handy with the iPhone.

Hopefully with the new iPhone which I presume will be out in June or July they will up the megapixels and the quality a bit more, along with video capabilities. Thank god for the 4 track app I purchased, got a lot of interesting street sounds and singing from the local Rajasthani musicians

Jaisalmer

Guess this is the best part of the trip yet. Small little town with a great chilled out vibe! All of us are recuperating from the chaos of Jaipur and Jodhpur, so this came as a pleasant surprise. Strange thing though, seems to be a lot of Italian Restaurants in the fort, guess there must have been a few Italians who stuck around for a while here and taught the natives how to make a decent Pasta! My penne arabiatta was fab!
