Hey Fellas,

I have been trying to log in to skype and it takes infinite time to load. If its happening to you then please hold your seat tight.

Skype is Down.

I confirmed with three people from different parts of India and it is same for all.

It stays like this for ages then says login error

Even today afternoon it was a real pain in the ass. People were calling me why I was not responding to their messages on skype. When I look for it…damn the bloody thing is gone. Who signed out? No idea.  Then after a while I noticed.. a windows error message > skype not responding. So probably I had not noticed that last time when skype was terminated.

Anyway there is definitely something wrong with it since  sunday. I use it on about 6 machines and every time I login on one system all the conversations get downloaded to it. Its so annoying. Pinging intermittently. Ever since Skype has got the new ownership it is no longer the same.

Looks like a temporary problem. Lets hope its back soon.

Feels good when you get featured on one of the top blog aggregation of WWW. Yesterday Alltop added me to their Geek List. Thank you Alltop.

I hope I can find some good readers for my post there.

This group I am listed in seems to be ruled by one coupons blog that has somehow managed to enter about 20 entries into one category. I do not understand why Alltop is accepting such crap? This is pure spamming and everything seems to pass the Alltop approval these days.

Way too many outbound links on the page I am currently listed. Not even sure if google will read beyond 100 links. In that case I am filtered out of indexing.  Alltop if you are reading this please pay attention to these details. The quest for success and probably easy backlinks could bite back real bad.

Sorry if I sound too bitchy ..but that’s me – I don’t sugarcoat truth however bitter it may be.

I see newbie programmers cracking up on htaccess issues. Normally it is a simple process where you can get beautiful stuff working in about 5 minutes time.

Most of us find the required code by googling up our requirements. Its initially tough to master the htaccess coding. But when we put then to action on our own servers. It does not work. I have seen my own programmers spending days together trying to find out why the hell is .htaccess file is not working.

First you should know how to create a .htaccess file.  I suppose you know already. If not follow the link.

Ok now open you .htaccess file in a text editor and add this simple code to the file.

redirect 301 /filename.html http://rooturaj.com

Now there should be a file exactly called filename.html or create any file like test.html and replace the same int he code above. If your htaccess is working then you should be redirected to my site  http://rooturaj.com when you click on your link to http://yourdomainname.com/filename.html or enter it directly in the browser.

If it doesnot then your htaccess is not up. Contact your hosting provider and kick his ass till he get it up and working for you. I sincerely hope this post helped you in what you are looking for. Do share this or link to this page so that other may use it too.
