Dhiraagu avasmail service Dead?

Why do Dhiraagu always annoy people? Why do they take so long to fix problems? Is it because Dhiraagu lacks enough professional staff or is it because they simply choose to?

one of my friends who use Dhiraagu avasmail (for some reason ) told me that he is not receiving any email for more than a week. He called dhiraagu to receive the same cold "we are working on it" reply.

Later that day a friend sent an mms to my mail, But it didn't turn up even after a day! So it seems that mms to email service is also down at the moment.

Surprisingly some people still stick to avasmail. I couldn't figure out why, when much better email services are available for free.. like gmail and yahoo.

Maldives - Pirated Software Market.

Software piracy is one of the biggest challenges faced by software developers. Who wouldn't want to buy the pirated version when it costs less than 10% of the price.

In Maldives 90% of the people use pirated versions of Windows and other software. It is traded openly because there is no copyright law in the Maldives. It is very sad to write here that large companies and institutions also use pirated software. I have seen pirated software (Microsoft Windows XP, Adobe , Macromedia, etc.) in use by a private education institution in Maldives. I asked a lecturer about it and he said "Can you prove it?". What comes into your mind? I seriously doubt that these lecturers are professional. Anybody with little IT knowledge can distinguish between genuine windows and pirated windows.

Original software is not available in Maldives for purchasing(afaik). So a better alternative would be to switch to a free OS such as Linux. And there are numerous free software for download. Open Office is a substitute for Microsoft Office package, and its free!

You can get freeware software at http://freewarefiles.com/

Enjoy!

SMS Sender for Google Home Page

After a lot of hard work (remember, I am not a coding guru) I have come up with this little baby! Though it's not as perfect as php based sms sender it can guarentee your privacy. The problem with closed source php sms senders out there is that they are closed source and the script is hosted on their servers. Thus you don't know if all the usernames and passwords are being logged into a database! When these factors are taken into consideration my little baby wins! Happy messaging with Dhiraagu SMS Sender.

update: php sms sender source code released! Thanks Jaa.

JUSTICE?

Saddam Hussein to hang for 1982 killing of Shiites; Baghdad braces for violent reactions. As he, his half brother and another senior official in his regime were convicted and sentenced to death by the Iraqi High Tribunal, Saddam yelled out, "Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!" Later, his lawyer said the former dictator had called on Iraqis to reject sectarian violence and refrain from revenge against U.S. forces (May Allah grant his Wish).
The happiest day in Bush's life... Personally I would like to tell Bush not to be too happy, because your fate is going to be worse. The same Message to you from the people of Republic of Maldives. May Allah destroy you and your people.
