Thank you for visiting my blog. I am reaching there on 13th (Dec) night. Will be in India for 6-8 weeks. Would be interested in chatting. I will be in Chennai most of the time with a few visits to Bangalore. Why don’t you make an RSS stream for jobs that people can subscribe to. Since you already have a blog, it should be easy to do.
I have a couple of other ideas and will be happy to share them with you. These relate to - job mining, microformats, GRDDL, HR-XML.

This site is far above most blogs in sharing all kinds of information necessary for the present and future.
http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/EducationalSprint
only shares information of what we can begin together in the last week of February 2007. Nevertheless
the software developed in this Sprint can change the future of many beginning with the sprinters.
I hope you will want to be part of it and encourage others to do likewise.
Comment by Oouc — January 19, 2007 @ 10:06 am
Thanks Oouc. I plan to be at PyCon and see whether I can participate in the Sprint. I don’t code much. So I am not sure whether I can really contribute but willing to find out. I do have several ideas for Python in Education and Learning.

Dorai,
I came across your blog while researching the status of Seymour Papert after his accident in Hanoi. Dr. Papert is also one of my heros and I’ve built a company focussed teaching children technology skills through by applying constructionism theory. Check us out, perhaps we might connect.

Hello Sir
I recently launched a new website http://techmein.com which aggregates content from top Indian tech blogs. I sincerely feel that your blog too needs to be added to my blogs list. However, since your blog does not provide a RSS feed URL, I am unable to do so.
Will it be possible for you to provide your feed so that I may be able to add your blog in the Live-Ticker on my blog?
Thanks

By the way, I got it done through FeedBurner Sir.
Your feed is here:

Hi Jorge,
I have recorded several ideas stored in my desktop wiki. I am taking a few of them and building prototypes. Since I do not have that much bandwidth, I am breaking them into small chunks and plan to have my students of Learning Portal work on them.
I am thinking of starting another blog called “IdeaLog” and start blogging about them too.

Hi Dorai,
How are you doing?
We came across long time back.
You had suggested that you have some ideas in the same domain.
Lets catch up some day and discuss those.
Please share your IM(GTalk) id with me.
Thanks.
