Flex India google group

I am really happy to see the revolution flex 2.0 has brought to Rich Internet Development. I can see the revolution has touched Indian developer’s community too.

Just have a look to the above graph which depicts the number of messages posted in the flex India google group over the last few months. I have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of messages and members within a short span of six months. Currently there are 375 members and the numbers is increasing.I hope by the end of the year it will be more than 1500(may be more than that).

Thanks Manish for creating this nice group and the contributors of the group to make this a helpful one.

Nokia BL-5C battery :Safety hazards

One of my friend pointed me to this link today which warns on Nokia battery overheating. Nokia says there have been reports of 100 incidents of overheating globally,As per Nokia,customers having BLC5 battery can request a replacement for any BL-5C battery that's affected. I have checked my Nokia 6600 phone battery and found that its BL-5C and manufactured in the same time ranged mentioned in the site.I am a bit confused should I continue using the same battery or not. I am not sure how Nokia will be replacing such a huge number of batteries which is more than 46 million!

Pune Flex User Group

It was another Saturday for me. I was eagerly waiting for this Saturday to come. It was Pune Flex User Group Meet.Aasim, one of my colleagues and I left home early, just to make sure that we reach he venue on time but we had little idea about Pune’s rain. It was raining cats and dogs. By the time we reached ECMi office, we were half wet. Yes,We were 30 min late!!

After entering the boardroom of ECMi, first thing I noticed is Abdul, his Apollo T-shirt and lots of unknown faces. When we settled down to the last row of the room, Abdul was talking about flash and flex and rest of the audience was engrossed in that presentation. Time passed on and I made myself comfortable with the informality of the meet. I was really happy to see the passion of the developers about flex. I would like to tell about Martin, who came all the way from Mumbai just to attend the meeting. I used to know him through groups and forums.He was the only guy who noted down every details of the meeting.

I would like to thank all of you guys to make it an august one!!
