7 comments

Hello ...
Its hard to stand still and do nothing ...
When something kewl and apparently revolutionary ...
Is happening and everyone is getting all worked up ...
So it seems like everyone is twittering these days ...
I do like the idea of being always connected ...
I think I'd like to stay informed and be updated ...
So I’m giving this twitter thing a try now ...
If you think I’m any good or interesting enough ...
Do follow me ... I promise I wont spam you ... hehe ...
I've only been twittering for a few hours ...
And now ... I've like a dozen people following me ...
I could be found at www.twitter.com/subcorpus ...
Lets see how this web/IM/phone thingy rolls out ...
I see some good in it ... also see a bit of evil ...
But hey ... facebook status is almost the same ...
And nobody seems to be complaining about that ...
So … lets do the twitter thingy … shall we … ???
Laterx …

Blog updated … and moved … whew !!!

5 comments

Hello …
Been waiting to find time to upgrade my blog …
This week ... I finally managed to do it ...
I updated wordpress ... to version 2.5 ...
It wasn't as easy as I expected ... it never is ...
I had some broken links after the upgrade ...
Had to manually fix them ... thats messed up ...
I've mixed feelings about this latest version ...
When you first login ... its amazing ...
The admin area is well done ... its really nice ...
The dashboard is really kewl ... and makes sense ...
I like the new stats feature built right in ...
I also found a liked the fullscreen mode ...
What i did not like was ... media management ...
Everything was ajax'ed and changed ...
I still dunno my way around most of it ...
Hell ... I had to reupload most of my images ...
Just to get my thumbnails to work ...
May be I need some time getting used to it ...
Also ... I changed my hosting ...
This blog was previously hosted on site5.com ...
My new host is the Grid Service at MediaTemple ...
It all the rage these days ... with positive reviews ...
Let me know how this blog works for you ...
If its unusually slow or anything like that ...
I'd also like you to drop in a comment ...
If you find any broken links ... thanks ...
And a call for help goes out to the local IT crowd ...
If you've managed to get lightbox working in 2.5 ...
Please let me know how ... thank you ...
Laterx ...

Don’t wanna see another 11:59 on screen…

8 comments

Hello …
I watched the Vantage Point few days ago …
The movie had a good ensemble cast…
Dennis Quiad … Forrest Whitaker … Mathew Fox …
So I hate to say this but it was down right lame …
I’ll be the first to admit that the movie had a fresh concept …
It seems to me like the story unfolded in layers …
Each layer of the story being a personal account …
The movie keeps looping back every 25 mins or so …
It shows us the same events but from a different perspective …
The repetition was cool the first time … OK the next …
But when the clock turns back to 11:59 the third time …
It became annoying … almost dizzying towards the end …
It was not a movie I enjoyed … it let me down …

Earth Hour … what hour ??? whatever !!!

9 comments

Hello ...
So everybody was talking about earth hour last week ...
It was like all over the web... even on mvblogs ...
I thought to myself that this is a good initiative ...
I wanted to do my part in the conservation/awarness program ...
So I set my cell phone alarm to remind me the day and the hour ...
I was doing some work in my room when the alarm went off ...
So naturally... I switched off most of my electrical stuff ...
Thinking that many in the city would be doing the same ...
That Male' would be different somehow... may be even dark ...
I headed out to my balcony to have a cigarette ...
Too take in the scene... and see how people were reacting ...
I was amazed that I didn'e see anything different ...
I didn't see any buildings powered down ... not a single one ...
The city didn't seem to given a damn about it ...
I had my cigarette... flicked it off ... came back to the room ...
Turned everything back on ... and started working ...
So much for tokenism... I kinda knew that it wouldn't work ...
It would've worked... if all power stations in the country ...
Shut down at a pre=determined time ... if not ... sorry no way ...
The sun comes up... the sun goes down... the lights remain on ...
Some darkened their blogs... and some darkened their websites ...
I've mine darkened year round... thats my bit... make do ...
Laterx ...
