Best Andhra Food Blog Site

I accidentally encountered Indira's http://www.nandyala.org/mahanandi/ while googling for "uggani" or "buggani" one authentic Anantapur rural delicacy made of puffed rice. After that, I became a regular visitor of that site. The best part of that site is the photos. Amazing sharpnest and themed around color.

I whole heartedly wish Indira to continue her hobby.

Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2


Last night I downloaded IE 7 Beta and installed the same. I felt so excited about the multiple tab feature. The first thing I did was opened second tab and tried to enter an URL address...BOOM IE crashed!! I tried multiple times and it did not recover. Rebooted my laptop, but no use, Finally I decided to try their free support from Microsoft on Saturday morning. Will see whether they can solve the problem.

So much for their caption " We heard you , you wanted it easier and more secure". In fact I wanted it to be reliable without a crash. For me that is #1 priority. My Firefox never ever crashed. I have been using it for the past 2 years.

Apart from these hiccups (unresolved yet), The browser is cool. I particularly liked these features
a) Simplified look and feel
b) Feed grabber
c) Printing (I love this much needed feature)

MS definitely improved IE in leaps and bounds.

I really wish them luck for Vista (when it really sees light of the day. Easter 2007??)

On 04/29/2006, I called free IE 7 support and told them situation. They promptly gave me the solution they have been giving since MS started business - uninstall and reinstall the software. I already did that. So they advised me to continue using IE 6. Wondeful. I love my Firefox even more from now.

Spring Evening, Tampa, FL

Spring evenings are great in Florida West Coast. When the sun is going down, cool breeze from the gulf soothes the souls. Picture taken when we went out for a stroll on a lazy Sunday evening. Posted by Picasa
