Bangalore Bloggers Meet

May 15, 2005 – 11:17 am

Update:Just fixed the Video link.
My Bandwidth consumption has gone berserk. Thanks to “Web Guru Madman”, i got it fixed. The 16MB High Res Video is compressed to 2MB. Enjaai maadi! Am a lil’ jinxed with the names. Somebody HELP ME!

Alternatively you can > download the video here < ( Right Click and then select ” Save Target as…”

It was good fun : ) The cool Blogger crowd from Bangalore and those Bangalore Marathon runners from Chennai, had a good time sippin up coffee at Barista and hoggin short-eats at Koshys.

Met up with Kribs, Adel, Suman, Kishore, Shub, Arnab, Anand, Shyam, Sathish, Madman, Prabhu, Anita, Krishna, Venky, Ambarish, Samuel, Bhaskar, Aditya and Rahul

Kribs successfully completed the Marathon. Someone left a “Meet me” note with him !
The ice was broken instantly and the crowd was friendly. Got trigger happy with my new Ennya DV 310 Digicam!

Now to shamelessly blow my own trumpet, Kribs asked me about Ron Brinkman from Honeywell. Well, i didnt know that Ron Brinkman was in Bangalore in the first place. Incidentally, Ron reviewed the first prototype i designed in Honeywell and recommended me for an ” Individual Excellence Award” hehe…

    By Kaps on May 18, 2005

  36. Hi Muthu,

    I’m writing an article on Blogging and its based on the blogger meet thats being conducted around. So, using a couple of photos, just for the sake that it would be better if the articles have some photos..

    hope there isnt any problem with you..

    By Anand on May 18, 2005

  37. Kaps,
    Thank U Thank U. Thought i ‘ll give Maddy a break. Poor bugger, what will happen to his movie career, if thefilm industry knows that he resembles me ;)

    By Muthu on May 18, 2005

  38. Ok guys, Just fixed the video link. Routing it from another server.
    No more Bandwidth issues.

    Suman, am am goin to disable external image linkages from my site soon! Thanks for the tip.

    By Muthu on May 18, 2005

  39. Use Coralcache for distributing files of large size

    U can update the video link as
    http://www.muraali.com.nyud.net:8090/images/bangalore_blog.wmv
    to use coral cache

    visit http://www.coralcdn.org/ for details

    By Archana on May 19, 2005

  42. am looking forward to an update :)

    By Aditya on May 19, 2005

  43. But that’s exactly what I was doing! I was routing THIS site’s video through Coral Cache.

    [shakes head]

    By MadMan on May 19, 2005

  44. Hi, When is the next meet ? Let me know about it….

    Thanks, Muthu Veerappan

    By Muthu Veerappan on May 20, 2005

  45. hey madhu,
    no sweat man, i actually wanted to knock those images off last nite itself. next time, will use third party video cache- rs to handle bandwidth overload. now i am tempted to do more video blogs ;)
    guess, you will keep shaking your head when you are dealing with less tech savy mortals like us.

    hey archana,
    glad to hear that you found the video as a substitute for not being here.

    hey IBH & kaps
    lets give maddy a break. ok? :)

    By Muthu on May 20, 2005

  46. Sorry I checked only the video download link.

    only the embedded video link uses coral cache. but the video download link directly points to the server file,

    By Saravanan on May 20, 2005

  47. hey that was good video…I liked the camera…i think i have to take a look before i buy a DVD camcorder….but are the blogger sites allowed to use flash on their pages? if so i was thinking of FLV.
