Asus Ebox

Asus Ebox is essentially a desktop version of EeePC! Looks like a Nintendo Wii, Packs Intel’s Atom CPU, 2 GB Memory and a 160GB Hard-drive. (Hmm.. Mac Mini Anyone?).. Also has a very good potential of being a HTPC if it can run MythTV or Windows MCE correctly! Priced between 200$-300$ (~12-13k INR). Very Interesting…

Revision Control on WordPress Posts

Revision Control on WordPress Posts. Yup! You heard that right! WordPress 2.6 stores revisions of all your posts! Very Interesting feature, Especially for collaborative blogging.

Oh Boy.. Yet another design change!

As you can see, My weblog has a new style! It’s been almost a year since my last change. So I thought I’d design a new one.. Took me 3 days to complete it from the scratch (the comment display system took an entire day)

My older one was designed basically for WordPress 2.1 and lots of WordPress functions that I had used have been deprecated in WordPress 2.3/2.5 (had to hack it to make it work).. In Fact, My older theme was just a re-styled version of it’s predecessor (which was for WP 2.0 and was hopelessly ripped from K2). Now I have a optimized template that borrows _some_ look/style elements from my older templates, though everything is written from the scratch.. And most of the icons are hand made too (except three, which are from the Silk icon set)

One noticeable change is the sidebar (the lack of it that is). I’m using the Archives page exclusively for listing categories, monthly archives and tags. All the links (blogroll, etc) now have a separate page. So basically the main page is fully clean! (Just the way I wanted)

I’ve also added support for Asides (using Ma.tt’s Hack) after seeing Preshit’s Tumblelog. I created an account at Tumblr, but I felt it’s better if I use my weblog for posting some small snippets or links that I come across instead of a separate blog. Anyway, I update my blog rarely due to the fact I have nothing really interesting to say other than a few words which don’t deserve a full post.. so this fits perfectly!

So from now, My blog will not be dry from having only one or two posts a month (!). I’ll keep updating it when I have something interesting to share. And yes, I know the Blog description is weird.. I couldn’t think of anything other than that!

Now you can look forward for more updates on my otherwise boring blog. :P

In other news (on my end that is).. Yes. I’m back on my PC and Nope.. not a single change except I’m a little less lazier than usual. Exams coming up next week too. So I’ll be awfully busy till the mid June (though that doesn’t stop me from being online for a while!). I’ll keep my ‘beloved’ readers updated more regularly from now. So till next time!

Edit: Whoa! This is a whopper of a Post!

My New MP3 Player

I got myself a Sandisk Sansa Clip 2GB and Creative EP630 Noise Isolation Earplugs to go with it!

The sound quality of both are exceptional! That’s all there is to say! :)
