Tomorrow, It’ll be exactly one month since I started my weblog. I’m quite surprised that everything is going better than I initially expected!
1. Web Searching ‘subbu’ throws up my site in the first result page! Something I’ve always dreamed of ever since I started using the Internet.
2. My WordPress Plug-in Feeder was featured and reviewed in Weblog Tools Collection, I didn’t even expect my plugin to be selected! It still needs a lot of work to make it User Friendly and easy to implement though. Hopefully, I’ll finish it as soon as I get some free time (and patience).
3. My Blog now has a Google PageRank of 3 (not to mention it’s been just 1 month!)
4. Nothing Much to say about myself this time, so until May!
Well, What can I say, I Don’t seem to find any Interesting topic to post these days, Maybe I’m busy or just plain lazy (which I usually am) 
I volunteered to help Preshit on AIDA, a site for a DJ community. All I did was to re-structure the template, and it came out very well!. I Managed to transfer my Lambda Sector domains to ExperTrio Domains, I Hope to get started on both the sites soon. Lambda Sector is going to be a Programming/Development News and Discussion Site.
Finally managed to get my hands on Windows Vista, I should say I’m quite impressed! Only a few gripes (Driver Issues). But I think I’ll stick to XP till I buy a new PC (in 2008), I think it runs quite slow with just 1 GB RAM and a Single Core processor, Oh Well..
My ISP (i.e. Tata Indicom-VSNL) is really bad, Its more like a Alternate-Day-Broadband, Works one day, offline another. I don’t say that I didn’t know about their ‘service’ before applying, but they were the only one offering aDSL in my area (apart from BSNL, which has long waiting lists and Airtel which has no network coverage). 
I added Tag support to my Weblog, and removed K2′s Rolling Archives and Live Search, it seemed to make my site crawl sometimes. But I Still have to keep the Prototype JavaScript functions for AJAX Commenting, I’m still a newbie to XMLHTTP and AJAX. However, I’ll try to reduce the filesize of those, remove all useless stuff (as far as my site is concerned).
*Sigh* Thats all I have to say for now, Until next time!
Well, A bit of a queer thing, You can open Firefox Inside Firefox too.. (Just like Webpages) 
chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
(Copy paste that in a new tab)
Chrome Mozilla is a term used to refer to an interface used by Mozilla applications like Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird. The interface is written in XUL and JavaScript. The Mozilla Gecko rendering engine, which renders the web pages, also renders the user interface. Therefore the user can enter chrome URLs into the Firefox address bar and render inside the browser.
Find out more about Gecko and Chrome.
(Note: FF Seems to get a bit unstable for me, but hey! just a weird one there)
Ever got confused when you are coding a PHP application that needs to output date and time in Different formats and Time Zones?
Using conventional methods makes you write complicated functions to deal with it. However, If you use UNIX Timestamps as the Time data (in the database) , you can convert that into any format with just a simple function (consisting just 4 lines of code!)
Another reason to use the timestamp method is for multiple DBMS compatibility, MySQL stores it in 2007-04-12 08:00:00 format, but others have their own way of storing Datetime values. So it is considered safe that you store timestamps as a Integer, which can be converted into any format easily.

I’d love to say I Hated KDE, for only one reason though, Its File-Manager plus Browser combo called Konqueror.
