WordCamp Baroda 2013

Posted February 8th, 2013. Filed under Blog Technology Web2.0

It’s been more than 4 year I’ve been using, communicating & contributing to WordPress Blogging Community. Last Month Rohit from Blogsolute asked me to join WCBaroda. I didn’t waste time to plan my visit for Baroda – Beautiful city located in Gujarat.
Its really good to see them personally after having long time communication with virtual faces. Many were new. It was awesome journey with likeminded peoples. Won’t dig more about event, Rahul Bankar and other bloggers have already said many things about lt.?
Following are few Resources those come up in our two days discussion. (That’s my perception, many more were discussed.)

Along with that, Golden ratio for typography & Good Relations (Rich Snippets).

Overall it was Lot of fun and learn. Looking forward for future WordCamp in India.

New Year is already started; I usually don’t do New Year resolutions at least not like will give more time to family, no more long sitting in front of PC, losing weight etc. You can call it annual plan. :D
Here is the list based on Priority.

Nagpur Sites Network
Discussing & planning since last three years, partially executed. Now it’s time to start with new phase. Shortly will be announcing three more websites dedicated to my hometown Nagpur.

Peenak – Team Development
It’s been one and half year we started Peenak Solutions, Our Own office Building construction has started, hopefully to be completed by April 2013. We will be keen to work on team as our new ventures from Gulf Breeze, London, Pune & Mumbai are going to flood our plates.

Opencart Contributions
Last two month we are developing custom solution based on Open Cart – Open source PHP based shopping cart solutions. It’s time to contribute to community.

Android Applications
I feel it’s never too late to jump in Android Market, A Pending Application From Nagpur Hackathon is waiting to be finished. And some more Ideas in brain are waiting to come out.

Meetups
In 2012, I missed Meets a lot. Meeting new people, sharing ideas, recharges me. This summer I need meets in Nagpur. Or I’m going to travel for this :D

Blogging
I know my writing skills are too poor, unless I write how I am developing my writing skills. So at least someone can understand what I’m trying to say.

Nothing wrong with spending more time with the family! It’s just that I don’t believe in making those kinds of promises at the turn of a new year. :)

So, now that I’ve written my plan for 2013 down on paper and published it for the world to see, all that remains to do is do it!

HERE City and Country Maps

Posted November 16th, 2012. Filed under Technology Web2.0

Just gone through Newly released Nokia Maps – “HERE”.

 

Interface is really smooth and easy, doesn’t take long time to load long list of data like Google Maps. Sounds like Nokia Competing with Google ?

Not really, currently HERE is having City and Countries Maps available. Where as Google uses Google Places Data in Maps, that make it bulky in loading heavy Information.

For simple & Smooth UI (at least on my screen), I’ll prefer for routing locations & some Map scientist features available in HERE Preferences.

Looks promising, Supports on various Devices.

You can browse complete set of videos about Nokia’s Strategy about Maps and new features here – its youtube :)
