I posted a brief status update during the July 7, 2005 London bombings to confirm my safety as reports of explosions emerged. The discussion quickly shifted to community members sharing resources for free e-books and BitTorrent clients.
I catalog my essential software inventory for new laptop setups, featuring tools like ActivePerl, WinAmp, and NoteTab Light. I also weigh my preference for tools like Firefox and MSN Messenger against those I choose to skip.
I found a resource on RSS clustering that applies Gmail-style threading to news sources. It groups related articles from different feeds into clusters, helping you manage information density and stay focused on unique stories.
I shared a brief update while going on vacation. The comments captured discussions about improving my blog's sidebar layout, finding copies of Richard Feynman's books, and dealing with office web filters blocking the site.
I reflected on the identity of the 2005 London bombers, specifically their Pakistani origins, while worrying about potential backlash. I initially hoped for higher tolerance in the UK compared to the US but noted reports of anti-Asian discrimination.
I’ve updated my Calvin and Hobbes index to cover strips through June 1990. I'm manually transcribing the comics into a searchable text database to help fans locate specific strips by their dialogue and themes.

If this is a hoax on me, it is the best I have seen so far!

From my side, yes… I saw the other two comments and thought to myself, “Mate, that looks like a nice way to pull a fast one on Anand’ :-)

Well, seems like a day of hoaxes. I got a mail from a colleague in Finance asking me not to reclaim VAT. I never even tried!

Depends on what kind of e-books you are looking for. If you want novels, you could check out http://www.greylib.align.ru/
S Anand10 Jul 2005 11:38 am:
The torrent network has plenty. Try the BitLord client.
Dhar11 Jul 2005 3:46 pm:
And the sites: torrentspy.com and thepiratebay.org/. What I like the most about thepiratebay is their response to legal threats (http://thepiratebay.org/legal.php)
