I quite get upset when I get to a blog and do not find any information about the blogger. I don’t mind anonymous blogs, but there has to be some introduction to the blogger.

Everytime they do something about the blogs they host, you think: Wow! These folks have reached a limit, pretty much. And then they just go ahead and have the last laugh.

Funnily, I didn’t catch this link: The Hero Is In Your Pocket soon enough. I was a bit surprised to see the way my blog was behaving yesterday night. Then I searched, got to this link and then: doh! Reminded myself to keep pace with their updates.

Amazing folks; inspiring folks, the Automattic Team.

New WordPress Theme!

I am loving the new Depo Square. I can’t help, however, but think that this is Tumblr in WordPress. But, like I tweeted earlier, I am not complaining.

Want to turn off Vodafone non-sense on your iPhone? Go to Settings>Phone>SIM Applications> Hutch> Deactivate. All those irritating quiz questions apparently stop. I have just done it after doing some research online. Vodafone, as usual, was Happy to help, but grossly unable. They don’t know where the settings are, on an iPhone!. Right.

“And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!”

How to watch a movie

How to watch a movie: “Remember that everyone in the theater paid for their tickets, just like you did, and they are hoping to hear the movie, not you. Talking during a film is one of the best ways to communicate to others your own status as an ignorant boor. If people are talking behind you, try asking them to be quiet. If that doesn’t work, complain to an usher and then take a seat elsewhere in the theater.”

Wishing everybody a Happy Rakhi Pournima. “Be nice to your siblings: they’re your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.” More thoughts to live by at http://tr.im/vwjJ

Changes and more changes. NetNewsWire of…

Changes and more changes. NetNewsWire officially closed their cloud-sync and have shifted to Google reader to sync feeds. Somehow, I never warmed up to Google reader. But then, there is Feedly, which I just started using, which also syncs with Google reader and is *such* a pleasure to use.

Yet, I think it eats some of my feeds and being what it is, I cannot refer to old feeds unless I mark them. Even then, it’s misbehaving a bit.

Then of course there is friendfeed which I am trying out now.

Changes, changes, changes. Sigh.
