My accounts on Twitter

In light of the recent Google blog post, Official Google Blog: Google accounts on Twitter, I thought I needed to do the same before long. Therefore, I am coming up with a list of twitter accounts that I am associated with:

Personal:

1. http://twitter.com/kushalhada (protected)

2. http://twitter.com/hadakushal (public doppelgänger of the above)

kdg

1. http://twitter.com/kdghq (kdg headquarters, not much activity)

2. http://twitter.com/fictionfun (sanbox account, high activity)

etbu

1. http://twitter.com/deanhealthplex (unofficial and unauthorized, not everything here is related to dean healthplex or etbu)

parked:

Parked accounts are not actually related to me. However, as of this writing, I still control them. Thus, I list them here.

1. http://twitter.com/justinfattig (parked for Justin Fattig)

2. http://twitter.com/palmertexas (parked for Benjamin Rogers)

Been a long time

Its been a while since our last blog post and I wanted to assure you guys that I am still here. :)

Entrance to the Dean Healthplex

This is the entrance to Dean Healthplex. 

Testing email blogging ...

This is only a test. :D

A legal tie-in

When we hear of tie-ins, we are regularly appalled by it. Tying in, or bundling, usually means mixing a well-selling product to a not-so-hotly-selling product and trying to set up just the right environment for customers to start falling into it like flies on ... well, fly paper.

This is a different sort of tie-in, the good kind. For starters, you will see that the text under the page title ("AN UNOFFICIAL BLOG ABOUT DEAN HEALTHPLEX @ ETBU") will link to our Google site dean healthplex @ etbu. It is just a humble beginning ...

A new calendar for the healthplex

(cross-posted from the "from Kushal" blog)

Do you know when to go to the fitness center? Well, now you have one more tool in our toolbox which will help you remember when you need to be in the fitness center.

1. It is a public calendar. You do not need to sign up with anyone to see it.
2. It is a secure connection (RC4 128 bit secure connection). Keep crackers from altering the information you see from the information we send.
3. It is a Google Calendar. Add it to your list of Google Calendars and see it with your other Google Calendars to see for schedule overlaps and avoid any delays.

Are you ready? Jump in ...

Just want to know the hours the fitness center is open? No problem! Just click here. :D

Side-note: IE8, the latest iteration of Windows Internet Explorer, seems to be better than its predecessors. A healthy competition exists in the web browser market, with Apple, Google, Mozilla, Opera et al trying to grab a slice of the pie. Even Microsoft seems to be serious about its commitment to standardization with IE8.

For a comparison of web browsers, please click here. As of March 19, 2009, kdg recommends Mozilla Firefox stable. Get it here. However, I must add that kdg believes in standardization, thus also supports the spirit of "any browser" as Jacob Ozolins said, "All browsers support the internet, and this internet site supports all browsers". Please visit the any browser website for details.
