Here are my primary expectations...

The biggest change is after 10 years of emailing, I'm using Spam Assassin to tag my mails. I'm still not filtering them out at the server, but will probably do that once I have the bayes system trained. And I'm hoping the spam quantity won't shoot up beyond humanly scanable levels for catching false positives.

Last year my iBook's battery started deteriorating and eventually died. It barely lasted 2 years. So I did a bit of searching around and found a lot of interesting information which is essential knowledge for anyone using Lithium Ion(Li+) batteries, which today is anyone with a laptop, mobile phone, camera, media-player(iPods and the like) with built-in rechargeable batteries.

Costs a bit more than what I was paying earlier but I get much more control over the software. More complete XSLT support with PHP5 for starters.(HE.net has recently started offering php5 too but I wasn't aware until after I'd moved.) And some headaches since I'll now have to deal with spam myself.

The old UPS, an APC Backups RS-1500 with a BR24 Battery Pack used to power my machines(~300Watts of load) for around 1-1.5hours. Which wasn't anywhere enough to deal with the power outages in Bangalore. My iBook's 5.5+ hours run time and GPRS that helped me get through them over the past 2 years.

Go ahead Mr. Chitnis please entertain us with more lies.

Even though it was mostly decided in the last week and I got the last of my tickets around 15 hours ago. Considering my past history of travel and how plans change in the last minute, this is something I've never done before.

The site is now AtomEnabled, For now I'm publishing the site feed in both formats, RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0. The feed related work is all done, so there shouldn't be any further disruptions to the feed in future.
