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.

Here is my comment:

Couple of ways to try IE7 without wrecking your system. You’ll be able to continue with your tried-and-tested IE6 for some of the sites which won’t work with Firefox.

1. IE7 standalone
2. Altiris Software virtualization Download link to zip file, at the beginning of the article.
