I was just checking Google’s official blog and found this super cool link… It is called Indic Transliteration from Google India Labs.
In simple words, it coverts the English words to Hindi. Say, for example, if you want to write, “Ye Mera Blog hai” in Hindi, so just type the same thing in English and the application will convert the same in Hindi characters. Remember, it is not a translator, but it will just write the English words in Hindi.
Though that’s a different story that, when we write “Google bahut acchi site hai” it shows गूगल बहà¥à¤¤ अचà¥à¤›à¥€ सीते है (Google bahut acchi seete hai) haha
But it is fun, it will be a heaven for Hindi Bloggers.

If you are running Wordpress 2.1.1, then there is some bad news. According to announcement on Wordpress blog, a cracker managed to add some security exploit files in archive of Wordpress 2.1.1.
Wordpress guys have fixed this issue in version 2.1.2.
Please update your Wordpress ASAP.
Time to rejoice for MTNL Triband users, all the users will be automatically upgraded to 2mbps from today. But this excludes customers under unlimited plan. But still I personally feel it is a great move. This will give a nice kick on the face of local net providers and it will make them upgrade their plans too.
I really love this kind of competition. This new year started off with great stuff.
