Life's short Live it up!

Lot of people call me up asking me that they want a website done but are clueless how to go about it… So here are my 2 bits

• Domain Name

  Do you know what you want your website to be called? Figure it out first and then check if that name is present or not. Most of the domains are gone so it mite take a while before you finalize the domain name you want.Go for a .COM domain if not then a .IN but choice is your there are lot of exotic domain extensions available like .ME, .Asia, .CH and so on for every country in this world.

  It would cost any where between 10USD for a .COM to 15USD for a .IN to 100+USD for the exotic domain extensions.

  You can register your domains at  one of the million websites offering you the service but i prefer indialinks or godaddy or yahoo domains.

I been planning to get some Tshirts printed with stuff for a while now but been skeptical if the site providing the service will be able to do a good job.  So i been asking around for the indian websites which print on tshirts. Listed are a few of them…

Price range: Flat Price Rs 349/-
Sadly you cant upload your pictures and get them printed. Have to choose from the designs which have won the competition.
Customer Service was prompt and 24/7.

BarCamp Mumbai IV Logo

I visited the first BarCamp a year back and it was like a waking call for me… It got me back into the entrepreneur mode once again… I been hybernating for a looong time! It was by chance i came to know about it happening at IIT Mumbai. Was amazed to see the spirit among the new entrepreneurs and the entire eco system around startups!

I took active part in organising the IIIrd Edition of Barcamp and now We are back with the IVth Edition which is gonna be bigger then before! Its a 2 day BarCamp! There is lot of young blood involved who are running around to get things in place with lot of help from old timers like Netra, Arpit, Thakkar, Asfaq and others…

So be there on 4th and 5th Oct 2008 at IIT Mumbai for the IVth Edition of BarCamp.

A little bit about BarCamp

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.
