Thanks to the people who really contribute their time and much more their passion in developing applications that would make this world a better place to live in. opensource is the thing that has fascinated me sine long, infact the very day I first recognized the Internet, and went into the hosting business, I have made a point to contribute my share to the fabulous opensource community. The other day I was viewing a documentary on the Goolge boys who made history and billionaires of themselves by doing just this, help make the world a better place to live in.

Portable Apps Suite your computer, without a computer™ as they call it is something everyone should know and learn about. I have loved applications that have standalone executable files without installations, thats whats portability is all about. When you are in a business like web hosting such applications mean a lot to you when you are on the move. It makes a big difference when you have all your tools loaded on a flash drive or a portable hard drive. You can connect to your machines and clients and have records at hand all the time. Web Hosting is all about this after all. One of the favorite standalone application of mine has been putty and utorrent, thanks to my friends who pointed out to me these things.
