Rediff Matchmaker

August 31, 2007 at 4:03 pm · Filed under BumpedUpon

For the past whole week, I have been staring at the Matchmaker teasers found on the Rediff’s homepage. Yeap! I’m talking about the “Featured Users” section to your left side of that page.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Two things that struck me:

  • All featured profiles that find a place on the front are of girls’. Why not of guys’? Shouldn’t Rediff be an equal opportunity matchmaker?
  • Every profile (of course a girle one) that comes up to the front is enhanced. I would believe that it is centred around the face region & nowhere else. Its to spice it up with a gleaming fairness. Do verify my claims with the pic above. All wannabe grooms, technology is right & ready to fool you.

ps: Thanks to all well wishers of thrattle. Its back with a lot of pro-evocation & disturbanks. >:O)

Update #0: Hold on. I was not into any girl hunt.

ELCOT’s Linux story

Its a self produced video of ELCOT’s (Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Limited) success story of its migration towards Linux based systems.

Things to look for:

  • Their Linux flavour is openSUSE SUSE.
  • Several references to Novel. Novel as in “Original and of a kind not seen before”.
  • Cost saving figures.
  • Many employees using Laptops just as in a typical IT company.
  • Many officials speaking good engish english. :)
  • ELCOT’s new low cost ATM machines.

Titbit as told by Bhuvaneswaran:

ELCOT is the topmost client for Novell with more than 40,000 SuSE desktops. They surpassed Fujifilm which is using 8000 SuSE desktops.

thro’ ILUGC.

Update #0: Would be good if ELCOT could provide mirror sites (India specific) for projects hosted at SourceForge. Or mirrors for Ubuntu, may be.

Update #1: Guys, ELCOT is using SUSE Enterprise Edition.

“With SUSE Linux Enterprise, we no longer have any worries about viruses. This aspect of security used to be a real concern because we know of other e-government systems, which have collapsed because of malicious attacks.” more.
