Visitors

Yup, the ones who come to my blog. I track them thru that little picture down at the bottom of the page. And I always find the statistics fascinating.

For one, not many of my own friends and relatives know of this blog. So most of the hits I get are from the one guy who knows about it and from random surfers and more importantly, redirects from search engines. Now, if there is one thing that this blog lacks it's a theme (that is why the term "Rambling" appears in the title, duh). So there is absolutely nothing here that would actually interest a person who is searching for something specific. Unless he is searching for me.

Some of the searches are reasonable, people looking for information and reviews about the M6805, or searching for games and widescreen er.. screens.

But then there was this guy who's looking for "measures to reduce job hopping". Dude, if you're going through blogs looking for how to stop your employees from leaving, you have bigger problems than job hoppers. One solution always works, pay them more :)

Another person is looking for "optical zoom on cellphones". Nope, there isn't. Actually, I did see one cellphone a long time ago that had an optical zoom lens, but that was a prototype. Optical zoom would probably eat up a lot of power, make the phone bulky and also costlier. So there.

To the guy looking for "Philips India DVD 3007", it's a good model, but there's isn't much to choose from between brands. Get the cheapest one you can find that has all the features that you are likely to use.

"Bangalore traffic"? The less said about it, the better. Why were you searching for it in the first place?


And then Chaos has put up a rant about the name change. From Bangalore to Benga-loo-roo. I wholeheartedly support it since I don't live there any more. It might prompt more people to leave and maybe, just maybe, some, ahem, interesting people might migrate up north.

some thoughts over optical zoom...
well first it will require a set of lenses (single lens won't do); considering the continuous slimming of the modern cell phones... it will be extremely dificult to place 3-4 lenses and make space available for them to move to provide the zoom...

i'm not sure what's public response to the name change..i just read rediff news item on name change..i definitely dont like that bengaluru..probably first they should change other city names in k'taka like mysore,mangalore etc. to see how it works..
