Learning to Fly

·312 words·2 mins
So, most of you are wondering where is it I disappeared to, for the last few days. Over the labor day weekend I was learning to fly, of course! Actually, at first I just decided to make a push as soon as I hit level 67, to reach 68 in record time. You see, level 68 is when Druids get their flying form. That is, magical creature that is Druid, it is able to morph into various animals. But the bird form is something that is achieved only on level 68 with Burning Crusade expansion.

Some labor day weekend fun

Oh how fast they grow up…. Seemed just not too long ago they were some kids on Disney channel. And how does it work exactly? Hollywood Records it says, but they started with Disney and I am guessing they still are with Disney, in a lot of things. But the important part is that this clip is well produced and fun, so, enjoy!

For my women readers

Linking to Porn is a sure way to get lots of hits, right? But, most porn is really guy oriented, so I was happy to come across some Porn specifically for Women!

Summary of Videos, Please, Mr Scoble!

Mr Scoble, I am really becoming agitated here, and sorry to say, I’m very close to unsubscribing from your otherwise excellent blog. I’ve been reading your blog for many months (years?), but this latest trend of just linking to Videos is not working for me! Really, this latest video is 20 minutes!!!

Image manipulation breakthrough

It amazes me that in this day and age it is still possible to come up with revolutionary algorithms in computer science. One would think that by now we have figured out how to do Image manipulation, but, as they say, We Don’t Know Jack!

Is this blog "Geeky" ?

·553 words·3 mins
A friend, who shall remain nameless, has asked me if this was a “geeky” blog that she should stay away from due to it’s inaccessibility to the normal folk, presumably.

The new host awaits

·144 words·1 min
Well, after whole of 2 weeks, this site already needs more room 🙂 So, this blog is moving to a new host, which should lead to better performance, or so I hope. The new host is geographically very near me, so it is much faster for me to maintain the site, but I think their servers are faster overall, and you should see improvement also.

Yourminis is not very user friendly

·253 words·2 mins
I decided to add some widgets from yourminis to my blog, but Alas, it isn’t nearly as simple as it should be. I consider myself pretty web savvy, but configuring the embed script that it generates is been nothing but trouble. Most of ones I tried are too wide for my sidebar, and resizing them breaks most of them, sad sad times…

Did you subscribe to this site yet?

You really should subscribe, to avoid unpleasant situation that CNN ended up in. Today they finally discovered and broadcast a Video that my readers saw a week ago. adir1.com — Your best source for early and relevant news! Well, except for natural disasters, political debate and other such depressing things that I will avoid reporting on.

We have no Internet?

Yep, our Internet is gone. Some very smart people from Atlanta Gas & Light (or so we hear) have dug out our neighborhood fiber-optic cable. This is even though entire ground is marked everywhere they worked, marked in all directions that it can!

Happy Friday

I guess I am just in a Happy Friday mood, so when I came across this golden oldie, while cleaning the over 2000 unread emails from my mailbox, I decided it warrants a post. Enjoy!

iPhone bill Blues

·59 words·1 min
First, I am glad that I am on e-billing, although I don’t have an iPhone yet. Second, I am sure we had to work hard to produce such a huge bill 😉 Third, I wonder if AT&T will consider modifying bill format or otherwise amending customer agreement to avoid needing to send this calamity, especially on mostly Unlimited plan!!!

One Week Anniversary for the blog

·260 words·2 mins
First, I promise not to celebrate each week in the future 🙂 , but I think the first week was so thrilling that it’s worth writing about. Lets start with words on the platform itself, which is WordPress. I actually tried Drupal first, but found it too cumbersome for just managing simple blog. WordPress was simple to install and extend. I ran into some issues with some widgets, but overall, it’s excellent and very recommended.

Windows Vista Thoughts

 I have been using Windows Vista since the second Beta. Lately I am increasingly accused of being Bill Gate’s fan boy and Windows Vista proponent, so here’s a post about my take on Vista.
