For the ignorant ;), Black Friday is the day next to Thanksgiving day and marks the beginning of the shopping season. This day huge discounts are offered on many products.

Traditionally all these discounts had been available only in stores. But of late with the penetration of internet and e-shopping, this year had seen a good increase in discounts being offered online as well. There were few things I realized about Black Friday 2007.

If you had visited my site this week, you might have observed that it was down for the first three days of the week and for the next one day, it was acting weird. So here is the reason.

All these days I had my site hosted on my home server. There were two big problems I constantly faced - 1. Power cut and 2. ISP (Internet Service Provider) downtime. So I had a Home UPS system setup. This solved the power cut problem but the ISP downtime problem was still there.

Today is the Blog Action Day !!! The Day when Bloggers all over the world do their bit to contribute to the environment.

Our environment is facing many problems because of the imbalance we are creating in it. These are some things which I have began to practice in the recent times.

Oh yeah, I'm still alive and my site is still very much active. It is just that I am standing up to the title given to me "The busiest man on this earth" :D :D. As always, the past few months have been extremely hectic. In no particular order, here are a few things which I did during the past few months:

- Prepared my company's financial records.
- Visited my friend's wedding in Namakal (near Salem), Tamilnadu. She was my colleague during Bangalore training. The wedding went good except for that I almost missed the train on my return journey. But I somehow managed to catch it in time.
