Carrying Out Batch Actions in digiKam
I have written about digiKam in the past. That was more of an overall review of a great piece of open source software. Recently, I have had the opportunity to use the individual features of digiKam more in detail. One of the features that I use most frequently is “Batch Editing”. Honestly I used to use Phatch for all my batch editing needs until a few weeks ago. However, since the time that I have started using dig...

Starting my own Photo 365
Update: The photo blog is up and running!!! You can visit it here or use the menu on the top of the page to go to the Photo Blog. The concept is slightly changed though. It's no longer a 365 type of project, rather more of a One Photo a Day kind of project. The time is now ripe for me to commit to a project that will require me to take one photo every day for the next 365 days. Today is the 31st of December 2009...

Working on your Holiday Photos with Digikam
This is the holiday season and you expect to take a lot of photographs. If you are not planning on taking a lot of photographs, you are at least planning on taking more photographs than you usually take. Just past the new year you would probably realize that you have a lot of photographs and not so much time to work on them, especially if you are in the “occasional photographer” category. The number of photos that yo...

Sony Alpha 300 Sensor Cleaning
For the last couple of months I have had to do a lot of cloning and fixing of most of the day time photos that I have shot due to dust stuck to the sensor of my Sony A300. I spend a lot of time post processing for dust specs removal to otherwise perfectly good images. The reason that I have so much dust on my sensor, is probably because I like to change my lenses a lot, in the field. That's what happens when you...

Review: Kata DR 467i Camera Laptop Backpack
I had been itching to get my hands on a comfortable backpack that could accommodate my camera with the additional lenses, cables and other stuff that I like to carry on me with my camera, in addition to a standard 14 or 15 inch laptop. I researched on the internet for the right bag for quite some time. I really didn’t want to go overboard with this selection since I don’t plan to increase my camera gear by any sub...

Mumbai Rains 2009

Just a month to go for the rains to hopefully begin in Mumbai. The BMC says it is prepared yet again to face the watery music. Their claims, till date, have been embarassingly squashed by mother nature and the fitful state of the drainage works in the city. Lets see how long it takes for them to put their foot in their mouth this time.

Online Filing of Income Tax Returns

The Indian income tax authorities have tried to make life simpler for tax payers through online filing. The online filing can either be done from the website of the income tax department or from the websites of 3rd party service providers.

Go Low Cost

So, apparently all the full service airlines in India are now shifting flights and planes to their low cost offerings to keep customers coming. The reduced traffic for the full service fares has definitely hit the airlines. However, now, those people who wanted to fly full service will have fewer choices of flights.

Lawless Lawyers

I think that since lawyers are the ones who keep secrets of all the people they represent, guilty or innocent, they should be sued for knowing what they do in case their client is proven guilty!

The CIA World Factbook is a treasure trove of information. According to this Factbook, the literacy rate for India is 61% as a whole. 73.4% for males while its just 47.8% for females. They define literacy as people over 15 years of age should be able to read and write. This is a clear indication

Writing in Letters

In a time that I could not lay my hands on a computer, I had this great time writing letters. There were many reasons for that. It’s not that I like writing letter per se, it’s just that I really used to like to buy stationary and pens. That was the reason that I used

So what is the effect of the US sub-prime meltdown on the businesses in Canada. As a tourist/consumer the most prominent things that I can see are “Going Out of Business” sales, like the one below. I am sure quite a few jobs were lost, but shoppers didn’t seem to mind as things were so

Here is a little humour that all Americans could use considering the amount of stress that they must be under. If you had purchased $1000 of shares a year ago in: Delta Aitlines, you would have $49 today AIG, you would have $33 today Lehman Brothers, you would have $0 today But if you had

India conducted its first nuclear test in 1974. The effect of this was that the Indian janta was proud to be from a Nation that is nuclear capable and can deter other nuclear nations. Other people slammed India’s tests saying that they were giving fuel to the regional unrest (namely Pakistan) by carrying out nuclear
