Ekushey E-mail Service is now being powered by Gmail instead of Everyone.net. I can now provide 2048 MB or 2 GB mailboxes for my users, which is 512% more than what I used to offer before. Any one who likes Gmail will like the new look and feel of Ekushey E-mail Service. Users can use all the popular Gmail features such as forwarding, POP access, calender, and so on. The only drawback is that they can’t create their own accounts — I’ll have to create them manually.

If you are looking for getting a fresh, professional looking e-mail address, then consider getting yourself an @ekushey.com address. Simply drop me a line to get one!
Toby Phillippe is the newest “bideshi” member of BLUA. Originaly from Sacramento, California, Toby worked as an IT person in several firms in Washington DC and Silicon Valley. He’s now settled in Dhaka with his Bangladeshi wife whom he met at work while they were in USA.

I met Toby through BLUA mailing list, and decided to meet today to discuss about the upcoming Linux workshop at North South University. We met at Banani Halvetia and discussed about various IT related issues regarding Bangladesh. He’s a very friendly person, and showed his keen interest on helping our LUG. I wish I could get the same level of support from our deshi members!

My iPod Shuffle finally arrived today, much earlier than I expected.
The nifty little device came with an attractive packaging, and inside was my iPod Shuffle with custom laser engraving. I’m headbanging to my trance MP3s now, so this is the end of this entry!
Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) was released today, making it the perfect day to announce the new home of Ubuntu Bangladesh.

I’ve been working on-and-off on the site for the last few days, tried MediaWiki, MoinMoin and TikiWiki, but finally decided to go for PHP-Nuke, which is not a wiki but a CMS. The site is happily running from an US server, hosted by our sponsor Dualnic. Check it out!
