First of all, let me Wish A Very Happy New Year 2009 !! to all my readers.

Some of the highlights of my life in 2008

  • I think biggest change in 2008 was that I joined PuneTech, Started attending Pune Open Office Club meeting regularly, with the intent of networking with Start-ups in Pune. I was very lone-ranger kind of person, never left comfort of my home/office. Towards the end of 2008, I am a changed man. (Hopefully for the better)
  • Joined twitter.  Thanks to Navin Kabra for his inspiring post.
  • Started learning python
  • Made my first open source contribution : Always had the intention, but nothing was done till end of 2008. I hope this is a good start.
  • Resurrected my technical blog (This one)

Other smaller changes, related to Tech, in 2008 for me :

  • Moved to Executor, from DOMercury, since DOMercury requires .NET framework which I was not allowed to installed, at my new office.
  • Started using Portable Apps wherever I can : Thanks to IT Lockdown at my new office. I think it was boon in disguise
  • Created Dropbox account.
