I am Markandey Singh, I am one of those lucky people on earth who get some time after their office work. Here on this blog, I post whatever I do after my office work. Professionally I develop using C for embedded environment but most of the article you see here will be some hack(mash-up) coded using JavaScript (using YQL & jQuery). If my mash-up Idea demands other programming languages like C# or Python , I never hesitate.
Many of my hacks can be found here. I am founder of http://www.tweetactive.com. I host my mash-up on http://www.purplegene.com which is another website of mine.
