WordPress and Movable Type are the two most popular blogging software around. WordPress was the forte of enthusiasts and wily bloggers, whereas professionals and serious bloggers endorsed Movable Type. Times have changed, and WordPress is endorsed by bloggers worldwide, including professional bloggers. Setup and Installation WordPress is much easier to install. The trickiest part is […]

WordPress 2.3 was launched some time back, amid much fanfare. Most bloggers held out for bug fixes, and I did the same. Looking back, there were a few positives and some problems. Of course, WordPress 2.3 has some much-hyped features like: Native tagging support Canonical URLs Plugin update notifications Improved draft management: Draft titles are […]

It was a week back that Shankar tagged me on the MyDesktop meme that has been going around. I promised to take part, so this is the post for it. Shankar’s desktop was rather un-inspiring, but atleast not the now omni-present Vista Emulation pack(which I am sick of). However, most people do not take the […]

WordPress was released on September 24th(maybe different in different countries), but I hung on to WordPress 2.2 for a couple of weeks. The reason was simple – WordPress is known for bugs and woes in the first release of a new branch. However, I read some frightening posts about vulnerabilities being exposed in previous versions.

Firefox is the world’s best browser, and Greasemonkey is one of the best extensions for it. What good is an add-on without any addition of fun? And of course, the big G, Google is the search engine we love ( though it maybe becoming the next Technorati). I personally like the Google logo, and if […]

Bins for disposing iPods have been placed at Microsoft’s Zune production campus. And there are actually a few disposed iPods in that bin! This has to be a joke. Or else, it is a twisted and sick Microsoft that we are seeing(as if they were not, already). Really. However, ‘t was but with a twist […]

In my previous post, I had written about the thinnest display available, by Sony. I jotted down some ideas of using the display creatively. When I finished, I could not help smiling at it  The possibilities The possibilities are quite amazing : Every gadget and gizmo which sports a colour screen could become thinner and […]

Its a race for thinner displays which yield beatiful pictures and videos with millions of colours. Now, Sony, one of the pioneers of flat-panel technolgy, has unveiled a new type of display which is as thin as paper, and displays full colour videos. A spokesman for Sony said it has yet to decide on commercial […]
