Yes! Hello WWW, not Hello World! I started blogging a long back. but blogging mostly on electrical and India. For a few months, I am planning to blog on favorite subject. so thats the heading - Hello WWW. wish to blog on WWW. World Wide Web.

I am on web for last 10 years and blogging for last 3 years(rarely), and got something to share with you and need to learn a lot from WWW. so lets start.

One of my Blog reader Arjun wants to share some great important things with us. I appreciate his wish to help others.

Arjun Says:

I am Arjun, I have attended the Power grid interview on 3-Nov-2008 at Bhubaneshwar. I like to share some of the questions that I have faced in the interview.

The Interview panel comprises a team of 6 persons, as this interview is for the post of AE to work under Rural Electrification projects in the states of West Bengal and Orissa, apart from the Technical skills they looked for knowledge in Hindi also. As the work comprises mostly of construction of Distribution sub-statation and Distribution of the supply. They very much concentrated on the Power systems and they also posed questions in the Power Electronics. (more…)

GoDaddy

for long time,  I am waiting for raju.com and settled with raju.net.in at last. Last evening, I came to know that .me registrations are going started in a couple of hours and waited till the time to start and grabbed myself raju.me by paying $39.98/2 years.

.ME Domain Registration

Before that I looked does this domain available or not at www.domain.me oops.. again I was unlucky. that was not available. But godaddy says that was available and registered for me after some lengthy confusing pages. GoDaddy doamin registration pages were very confusing and very much  irritating.
