About the Author
Shirish Padalkar
I loved computers since I got introduced to computers in my school days. Started programming with QBasic, used WS4, Lotus-123, DOS and Windows 3.1.
Programming has been my passion. I work at ThoughtWorks and code for living. I love Java, Ruby, and I can read Python code. I had small time affairs with Haskell, LISP and Prolog as well.
Besides programming I like to find and report vulnerabilities in web applications.
I enjoy playing Tabla and love listening to Indian classical music.

Electronic Frontier Foundation
Defending your civil liberties in a digital world.
https://www.eff.org/Based in San Francisco, EFF is a donor-supported membership organization working to protect fundamental rights regardless of technology.
From the Internet to the iPod, technologies are transforming our society and empowering us as speakers, citizens, creators, and consumers. When our freedoms in the networked world come under attack, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the first line of defense. EFF broke new ground when it was founded in 1990—well before the Internet was on most people's radar—and continues to confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today. From the beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights.
