Arun 18 Jan 2006 4:56 am: Anand, can you recommend a few good podcasts you listen to?
S Anand 20 Jan 2006 12:01 pm: I don’t listen to podcasts, I’m afraid! Trains are too noisy, don’t like using headphones at office, and prefer watching movies at home. So effectively no place for podcasts :-)
Arun 20 Jan 2006 3:09 pm: Oh..ok..Somehow I thought you had made some post about listening to podcasts on trains sometime ago. Guess it must have been some other blog. Or I must have been dreaming :-)
S Anand 20 Jan 2006 6:32 pm: No, you’re right. That was in July, when I was commuting OVER the ground, where there’s less noise. Now I commute UNDERground, and can’t hear anything, so I’d given up soon after I started.

TOPFRAME 17 Feb 2005 12:00 pm: why do you have to keep the URL at “http://www.s-anand.net” when I follow a link from your page? It’s very irritating actually.

Your ISP can shut you down

Big Brother took a little longer than 1984, but by 2001, it has arrived. Even if you didn’t upload an copyrighted file, your ISP can shut you down. Oh, they can monitor what you’re doing too – literally, by face. And imprison you without trial. Better read up your “copy rights”.
