I am leaving to Munnar tonight along with my colleages here for a recreation trip. I will be coming back only by Tuesday, April 5, 2005. I am going to miss computer badly for three days. Anyway, forget all the work; spend time in play, photography, travel and booze

After a long thought, I have planned to use Coppermine instead of Gallery 2 for my photo gallery. Gallery is good. No doubt about it. Still, I am not happy with lot of parts. I don’t have the time to hack it to customize as well. I found Coppermine best suits my requirements out of the box. I am on the way of creation of a theme that mimics the theme that the journal uses now. Once the theme is ready, the gallery should be up in no time. Even though I have chosen Coppermine, there is a thought in my mind that I will miss the gallery badly. Well let me see that if I have a change in plan before putting up Coppermine on production.

For my surprise the news came today that GMail is increasing the user space from 1GB to 2GB. I initially thought this as an “April Fool”. But when you goto the page of GMail, you see the space keeps increasing every instance. It is now around 1060 MB and keeps progressing at a regular pace. It is a good way of showing that you are increasing your limit, GMail. Google guys rock in thier unique way of attracting people. Keep it going. My concern is that there is a possibility that Google can monopolize internet services in another 5-10 years if it goes this way.

Note: BTW, the real april fool of Google is here.
