8.2 quake rocks Indian Ocean off Indonesia, Official tsunami warning in Andaman

An earthquake measuring 8.2 on the Richter scale rocked the Indian Ocean off the coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra Island on Monday.

The US Geological Survey has warned of a possible tsunami.

The quake, around 2130 IST, occurred in the same Indonesian region that triggered the Asian tsunami disaster on December 26.

In India, the home ministry has activated the tsunami control room. The Kanyakumari district administration has started evacuating people.

Sri Lanka and Thailand have also issued tsunami warnings.

it is too scary….

I am using American Power Conversion Corp (APC) UPS at home, it was giving me problems for long time so I just went to APC India website, chatted to their support person on Live Chat…

He asked me to provide UPS serial number and model number….I mailed them…next day (Approx 10.30 AM) I got reply from them saying their person will come in a day and replace the battery and in next few hours I got call from that person to confirm my address…he arrived at my place at 6.15 PM same day …finished him work…replaced the battery by 6.45 PM…

Their service was simply superb…till now my best experience with the support department of any company…

Other companies should learn from them….

Holi is known as festival of colors but for me it was festival without colors

Couple of guys from my building called me up to play holi….I was pretty excited about it…I was expecting that there will be many people and we will have fun…but damn when I went there…I found 2 of my building friends and 2 other guys from outside…

Sad…

Came back just now and now I am here..posting blog entries and trying to pass time…

but next year I am definitely not gonna sit like this at any cost….will get some more friends and will go out

Btw Happy Holi to everyone

Before buying domain name you shall take care of following things….

1. See whether the company is giving you full access to domain control panel or not.
2. Make sure the domain have all your contact details specially in admin contact details….and you have access to change the same
3. Make sure you have access to lock / unlock the domain name
4. Do not forget to get invoice for the same from the company you buy from…

You should not fail to check above things, and should not buy the domain name if the company is not giving any of the above mentioned things…

Some companies might offer you domain name and the web space at low rates but in return they keep admin contacts as their and also control over domain control panel..

So at the time of dispute they just change the domain name details and kick the customer saying the domain was never his/her

These kind of things happen specially with Indian company…I just managed to get my client’s domain name after many tries…

If you are thinking of buying Web Space, Domain Names, SEO Service or any damn web related thing then please make sure that the company you are buying from is not Aditya Infotech aka Netlink Solutions India aka Easy2Source

I had very bad experience with them, they had designed website for one of my clients….client had also purchased domain name and web space from them. This client wanted to redo his website so he contacted me….he also wanted to host his site on my server and get his domain transferred

I checked my client’s site, found that on each and every page there were links going to easy2source.com and on one page they had Easy2source.com’s banner also…(with at least 10 different links going to different directory pages)

Client was totally unaware of this…I informed him about it….I explained the client everything in detail…he got rough idea of what was happening with his site….

Now the problems started… Read more…
