Web and Graphic Designers with Drupal Experience

Thursday, May 11th, 2006
I'm urgently looking for 1 highly creative, bright, intelligent, fast and above all flexible Web and Graphics Designer, who has substantially worked with Drupal.

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006
Update: This is F-ing INSANE! Apparently Rakesh Menon read this post and emails me with this info: BMW is soon coming out with the "Auto Park" feature in some of their models in Europe. The Car does not only park by itself, BUT FUCKING HELPS YOU FIND A PARKING SPACE!!! Apparently its much more advanced than the Toyota Prius in Parallel parking, wherein the Prius you have to have your feet on the brakes but in BMW you don't touch a thing except your ass on the seat...Here's the video at New Launches... Unbelievable!!! * Original Post * This is so advanced, it's fucking sick!!! Toyota some time ago had introduced a computerized assist parking for drivers in Prius Hybrid ...

Thursday, February 16th, 2006
There have been increasing requests to start podcasting posts on Desi Train. For those who aren't aware what podcasting is (like me 7 days ago) - you will get a few DT posts in audio. So for example Chocolate - Mahesh Bhatt has a competitor will have you hearing me in full anger & frustration (as if the text wasn't enough)...yep me in all glory expressing frustration over the movie. Or me kicking Sanjay Gupta's ass over the revelation that Zinda is Old Boy. Email requests have been especially heavy for podcasting the Movie Reviews. There have been talks about Desi Train on radio (web/air waves), but I'm unsure about making this a full time thingy. On the other ...
