I got an invitation for covering JavaOne and received a Press pass for the conference. I am planning to attend the conference from 6-9 May in San Francisco and live blog about the event. I will be updating soon on the sessions I plan to attend and more. Looking forward to meet some old friends in San Francisco during my stay. Let me know if you are planning to attend too...

Holi is the festival of radiance, colors and usher in spring. I wish you all a happy Holi / Dol (as we Bengalis say) and hope that you all remain safe (no colors in eye).

I received a non-typical email spam, a well written (spams are usually filled with bad spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, especially those from Dakar, Senegal for example) email from Maria Wyatt (most likely forged) claiming to be Nadezhda from Saint-Petersburg in Russia. Couple of photos were also included.
