How to publish a personal Web Page

This is a post I thought would help many of those not so computer savvy people who wish to create and publish a website for their personal or small business need. I am sure there would have been times when a need for creating a web page to host those ideas or business details might have come. So what actually is required to create and host a website of ones own. Believe me when I say this is not as hard as it appears and you would not need much of a technical expertise but a couple of patient hours with some content only to host this personal site of your own.

First of all what you would require is a domain name ... To put in more plain words this would be the text that one would type in the browser address bar to reach out to your website like www.mypage.com usually you can go to some domain registrar(one who has rights to sell you such domain names). I used this particular domain registrar hosting.india.to. All you need to do is choose a name for your website and see if it is available in the extensions like .com .in .info etc., Once you have got a suitable name now is the part that comes where you keep the content.

The second thing after getting a domain name is the hosting. The site from where i got the domain name provides free hosting as well. So I opted for the free hosting package. Its usually great to have the same place to have the domain registered with and the hosting also as it would relive from having some dns setups which is pre done in this case.

The third and final step is to create the content that you wish to display out in our newly created domain. Even for this the hosting sites provide very simple interfaces that help you create web pages on the go and within minutes you can have your page up and runnign viewable by millions over the net.

Google Wave

Finally after the long wait got the invitation from google and now have my account setup. With some initial roadblocks of not knowing what to do and how to just as if an infant would learn to walk with its first few steps... As a few of us might already know right now the wave is only open as a developer preview and Google actually aims to have this coming up late this year. But in order to try out your developing skills with the Google Wave you need to have a sandbox account too... (Am glad that I was able to request for and was granted too soon... ) With a little bit of tremble I was able to create my first Google Wave Robot as it is called (If you have a wave account try adding my application by including vtrravikumar@appspot.com) This is a friendly bot that would greet as soon as anyone joins the wave. There are gadgets that could be developed and have seen few useful ones already there like the one which uses the map API.. It was also good to see lots of people already started dis...

Better late than Never

           Apocalypse that is to finish off the earth by 21/12/2012 comes at a very short notice that leaves us with little chance for some great plans but I would say its “ Better late than Never ” We all would agree that life is already screwed up beyond the chance of any revival and instead of turning our face away or ignoring all the warnings why not accept it and think about some positive things that could be done. I am not going to give the details on how The world is going to end or numerous signs that point to sure end by 2012 but rather would like provoke your thoughts on how we can plan to approach the inevitable Apocalypse and live life. Planning for an apocalypse can be something new to all of us and since we may not know what may come and what we need to face it would be touch to plan something so instead of starting with how to survive an apocalypse lets start with an simpler task of how to spend our time worthwhile...

Top 10 Cloud Vendors

I came across this blog post by Peter Laird ( Blog link ) which I found to be an interesting way to rank the cloud vendors but since this list had been prepared almost 2 years before, I decided to give it a shot now to see how the ranking had changed over time. Based on the methodology used by Peter I did the following : Cleared all browser cookies Ensured I was logged out of Google (to avoid personalized results ) Navigated to the www.google.com search page Typed “cloud computing” in the search box However unlike Peter I did not browse through all the pages but restricted my ranking until I found 10 vendors. The result is as follows. From the search results scrubbed off all non vendors and then collected the first occurrence of each of the following vendors. Page Rank Vendor URL 1 1 Salesforce http://www.salesforce.com...
