Down memory lane!
After long time, happened to check my geocities account (thankfully much of content remains), and found lot of hidden gems! Like my first resume!
And another one of historical importance, when I joined FreeOS.com to start working on IndLinux fulltime… my first todo list I presented on work to be done! Definetly a gross under-estimation of the volume of task!!
Its been 8yrs now and was really long journey….And #1 is not done yet! Rest is more or less achieved (status – not uptodate)
A more detailed time line here
