To begin with, I would like to say a big thanks to the summer heat (coz I clean up dust very rarely). It’s not just we who cannot tolerate the heat of the summer, but also our computers do tend to underperform and start making unusual stuffs (which are annoying). You may not notice those alien behaviors if you cleanup your cabinet regularly. If you like to see what really happens, I suggest you not to clean dust inside your cabinet for next one year (Disclaimer: Do it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any physical damages caused during the course of experimentation).

For those who don’t like to take risk, here are some of the things you may notice due to heavy dust accumulation:

Please don’t ask me why I did this. This is just another random thing that popped out of my head. So opened Fireworks (after a long time) and did this under 30 minutes. This is how it looks:

And I do know this isn’t as good as what professional designers would do, but it was just that I couldn’t resist to do it after the idea flashed in my head. Currently the wallpaper is available for download in 3 standard widescreen resolutions.

And yes, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hmmm.. after a long time, I decided to turn off the Twitter weekly updates and blog manually whenever I find time. And since I bought a new Sony Ericsson C510, I’ve decided to put up a Photostream section as well.

And also, I won’t be able to blog regularly. So will put up a small section for my twitter updates, so you can get know what I’ve been upto.

Cya!

If you are active reader on my inactive blog, you might have noticed that I’m not posting anything from past few months. This is because, I’m getting busy managing my sites and a forum on one hand and on another hand I’m becoming lazier everyday to post in this personal blog.

Since I am getting lazy to post in this personal blog, I decided to let a wordpress plugin to do the job. I’m pretty active on twitter and tweet every now and then. So the plugin will publish whatever I tweeted for last one week on every Sunday night. (Very helpful for a lazy guy like me).

Anyway some of the most happening/happened from past two months are:

1. I am designing one new open source template every month.
2. I moved my site from a shared Indian hosting to a US based VPS.
3. I am now busy in my exams.
4. I won a free domain in Namecheap twitter contest!
5. I’m more active on social networking sites than forums. Except stupid orkut.
6. Airtel hit me down by withdrawing Airtel Online GPRS service in Karnataka.
7. Busy working on a small project related to Planetary Geology.
8. Made easy 500 bucks for giving a budget PC configuration for 10 PCs for a local cybercafé walla.

I might have forgot few other things, but u might go through my tweets to find what I did and what I am doing :p

It’s almost end of the march, and am blogging about the summer now, just because I am lazy and was pretty busy doing nothing but roaming.

This summer, its pretty hot here in Bangalore with daytime temperatures reaching 34+ Degree Celsius. When compared to other cities, this temperature is in fact cool. But here in Bangalore, anything above 28 Deg C is hot! Maybe we feel hot, coz we are adjusted to the cool and moderate climate of Bangalore. But this time the temperature has gone up, thanks to global warming.

I hope, you guys are keeping yourself cool drinking good juice, beverages, water etc. If you neglect drinking good amount of whatever I mentioned earlier will lead to dehydration and eventually it will cause fatigue.
