Sanskrit stands unparalleled among the world’s languages as the most precise in its formation and structure.

Come and experience its simplicity expressed through thrilling sounds that resonate with the Cosmos!

This is a unique opportunity not to “Speak About Sanskrit” but to “Speak Sanskrit”.

Suggestion for the Bloglines Plumber

Bloglines : …I’m the Bloglines Plumber. Bloglines is down for a little fixer upper. We will be back at 9Pm Pacific Time, 5/14/05. Bloglines will be all better when I’m done with it…

“We will be back at 9Pm…” has changed to “We will be back shortly” has changed to “We will be back at 10Pm Pacific Time, 5/14/05.”

Question: Is it Pacific Standard Time or Pacific Standard Time ? ( Time zone abbreviations )

Suggestions…
1) Change text : Time is now 8pm (dynamic). Bloglines will be back at 9pm
2) Link the Pacific Time to a link where this time can be converted to a local time !
3) Fine. plumber is working… allow netizens to send email – enable the contact form during plumbing…
4) Lastly setup a temp mail list for _first timers_ and members to be notified when the site is back up !
