Yahoo! Hacks, and other (unrelated) things

Yahoo Hacks

Yahoo! Hacks was released some days back. I got a copy while I was in Sunnyvale (thanks, Paul!). And there’s one that arrived in Bombay too. Sweet.

(In case you don’t know, and didn’t read Paul’s entry: I contributed two hacks to the book — one on Ruby, and another one on REBOL.)

Go, get yours!

Other things

Hong Kong is sweet. Too bad I couldn’t meet Cecily. After having lunch with some of the Yahoo! HK folks, I headed to the airport. I reached there at about 15:30 or so; my flight was at 16:00. I thought I’d reach easily and all, but gate 70 was like at one end! Anyway, I reached the gate at 16:10 — that’s ten whole minutes past the departure time. Interestingly, there was some problem starting the engine or something, so I made it! :-) Haha.

After I reached Bangalore, I wait at the baggage claim for an hour or so with no sign of my baggage. A few more minutes and there’s no more baggage from that flight (TG 325 from Bangkok). Yay, you couldn’t screw me up better, suckers! I was hoping to fly to Bombay tomorrow (err... that’d be today now), but thanks to all this baggage crap, that won’t happen.

The other day, my dad was telling me something about a domestic airline called “Go Airways” or something like that. Heard of it? Got a URL?
