Two things. One, I’ve given my laptop to IBM for servicing and should probably get an estimate on it by tomorrow.
Two, I’ve installed WordPress 2.0 on this blog. The main blog won’t look any different, but the admin section is just way too cool.

Laptop Troubles, part 2.0
Thursday, December 29th, 2005Laptop Troubles
Saturday, December 24th, 2005My laptop has started showing signs of ageing. Yesterday evening, when I tried to start it, the light came on and then instantly it went out again. This happened for some 10-15 times.
I removed the battery, RAM, and hard disk, then reconnected the lot and restarted – lo and behold, she started up.

Thursday, December 8th, 2005Google Adsense users now have an option to display Firefox referrals on their Adsense enabled site. However, unless I’m mistaken, the Google tool will point to Firefox with Google Toolbar installed. And given that they will only credit the account those users who click through and install Firefox for the first time (non-Firefox users, that is), how many people would really want to add that to their site?
I certainly don’t
Heroes
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005Why is it that I can accept any stunt, no matter how outrageous, when it is performed by Superstar, while I can’t even look at a stunt done by Ilaya Thalapathi?
