Finally put in a new theme “The Journalist” by Lucian Marin after months of Blue-K2. This theme was recently featured on WordPress.com and is fantastic at its simplicity and minimalism!

I had to modify a bit of the CSS to help support the switch-over from the colorful Blue-K2 I had here earlier (The colors being those “Download” or “Favorite” boxes you’ve seen around, perhaps.)

Also converted a few images to Grayscale and added them for a little more eye gloss than the default theme had. Hope you like this theme, cause I find it pretty readable and wide.

Post any problems, comments on what you feel is not good and other things if you have the time.

Got exams upto 19th.

Check out the new movie (& music) page. It isn’t fully customized yet, but I’ll do it eventually.

This must’ve been my longest break from blogging perhaps, half a month. Am really sorry, but I had just lost interest in doing anything worthwhile online. My feed reader counts the unread at 700+, let’s see how fast I finish that up.


So my second year in B.Tech IT has started off (6th July). It’s going pretty good till now. Here are my subjects this semester:

• Object Oriented Programming (Lab included)
• Data Structures (Lab included)
  
• Mathematics – III
• Signals and Systems (Lab included)
• Digital Principles and System Design
• Principles of Communication

For those interested in reading the contents of my syllabus, you can download it here.

Off these subjects, I didn’t quite like Principles of Communication. And yeah, the order of the subjects I’ve written above is based on most and least favorites

Anyway, now that I feel like putting something up here, you can expect things like features in Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10), some weird cool news and so on ..

That’s right, cause it seems to initiate a series of reactions in human brains that pushes the nerves out and clearly visible on the temples. Also raises thier blood pressure and makes them explode. Boom.

Okay, on topic, blog’s supposedly the 2nd most hated word on the Internet. Thanks to its cliched usage maybe?

Here’s the 10 most hated words:

• Folksonomy
• Blogosphere
• Blog
• Netiquette
• Blook
• Webinar
• Vlog
• Social Networking
• Cookie
• Wiki

So, The new blogosphere which practices folksonomy with its blogs lack netiquette, publish blooks, conduct webinars, start vlogs, go ‘lol’ on social networking, spoil wikis and have cookies?

Must appreciate myself, I’ve left the “Check my blog now!”, “How’s my blog look now? And now?” dialogues long time back

Google Adsense seems to have started displaying a small icon next to ads from websites which support Google Checkout services.

IMHO, Adsense ads are getting too cramped up with the link + description + title and now this too. Instead, they can try putting the description as a tool-tip box on hover and make space for more variety in a box instead.
