Some seriously freakish things have been happening to me lately — not the least of which is the complete disappearance of the post about my new Web template, Jan 004: Hey Kitty!. Anyway, to cut a long story short, this a new Web template for download, created in honour of a friend’s birthday. Download it […]

Phishing for a giggle
E-mail scams. We’ve all had them, and while I do not know anyone stupid enough to fall for one, it seems that scammers often end up raking in handsome rewards. All I can say is, people idiotic enough to fall for these deserve it. Take the latest one to make its way into my inbox. […]

Free templates are back!
Jan 003 is a template that I have been working on for ages, and I finally got around to polishing and validating it, and making it ready for release. Jan 003 has been lovingly hand-coded and it has been tested on Firefox, Opera and Safari (on Mac OS), and IE8 and IE7 (on IE NetRenderer). […]

A dinosaur called BSNL
The Internet has made our lives easier. Right? You’d think so if you consider the things we can do slouching at our desks — banking, paying bills, keeping up with our social lives, shopping… Personally, the ability to pay bills online is the one aspect I am particularly grateful for. Gone are the days of […]

Hello, MacBeth!
Almost a month. This is probably the longest period I’ve kept away from my blog. There really is no excuse for the hiatus — especially considering that MacBeth has entered my life. For those not already threatening to fling themselves out of the nearest window at any further explanation for the rationale behind “MacBeth”, it […]

1,396: The price paid
[EDIT:The title of this post no longer holds good. I have since recovered my 1,396 photos by using a file undelete software on the SD card of the camera. I thoroughly recommend Glary Utilities for general computer-related housekeeping.] Does anyone really come out of a system crash unscathed? I believe not, but there are a […]

Updating Through Flock
This update is being done through the Flock 2 Beta blog editor. For the uninitiated, Flock is more than just a plain old Web browser. If social networking is your sort of thing, this intriguing application is certainly worth a look at. With its integrated blogging, media sharing and “people” services, it should keep any […]
I want to believe
Funny, the term “fandom” never entered my thoughts much until Kate came up with it for a blogging subject. While, fandom may simply be described as the state of being a fan, in one very apt definition I found it is described as a “semiotic productivity is when fans use their object of fandom to […]
