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.
Wordpress 2.0 is getting released soon. As per the official page, the release candidate is available for download. I’m waiting eagerly for the final to come out so that I can start upgrading. Can’t wait to see what’s under the hood for this release…

Eppadi keedhu???
Shutdown Complete!
It can get kind of irritating. Although I have written an export script for Yakkerati to export it to MT format, the MT import script for WordPress is screwing up somewhere, and I’m in no shape to fix it up…
Still, I’ve managed to get the updated Import from Blogger script and write a script to export from Yakkerati to that format…
Well, here it is…
No, I haven’t changed the colour scheme, yet…
How’s the new colour scheme?
Many thanks to Ramya, who’s great article on bloggers came in the Sunday magazine of The Hindu.
The presence of my site URL as an active link in the story not only boosts traffic to my site, but also exposes the shortcomings of Yakkerati 0.1 beta. Look out… 0.2beta coming soon…
Update: This also marks the presence of the 8000th visitor to this blog. Thank you all…
For some reason, the server hosting my site seems to have gone a bit crazy. The server clock somehow seems to have advanced by an hour, thus putting IST at +4:30 GMT instead of +5:30 GMT. Wonder what the issue is…
Anyway, until this is resolved, I have to manually set the time of each new post back by an hour…
Update: United Kingdom has gone into Daylight Savings Time as of today morning. All clocks have been set forward by one hour. As my server is located in the UK, my server time is also set one hour ahead, thus erroneously calculating India time as 1 pm when it was actually 12 pm.
It also turned out that I had hard coded the offset +05:30 into all my pages. I had to manually remove all the hard coded offsets and change them into a constant variable which is defined in a common file. To top it all, my server kept breaking my connection while I was uploading the various pages and I had to reconnect time and again to upload the full lot. Anyway, the problem is now resolved…
I’ve put up a new photoblog at http://ninjablogs.blogspot.com. I’ll be showcasing all my photos there.
Hopefully, my blog administration pages should work properly now. It’s a lot easier typing the post in a web page than downloading the database, typing the post, and uploading it again.
As I said this morning, I’ve coded my new doodle-board. It does have some minor problems in Internet Explorer - namely the presence of the disgusting horizontal scrollbar. I’ve tried practically everything, but I have given up. At least now, the doodles aren’t getting cut off.
The inspiration to create my own doodle-board came sometime last week, when curses began ranting that doodleboard.com had gone pay. Being the cheapskate that I am, I decided to code it. The coding wasn’t too difficult, I just ported code which I had written for my Guestbook (which was on my site for a few days until I took it down). A couple of minor issues cropped up later in the day when Vijay complained that it was a bit too wide and that his details were not being remembered. Came to my senses and modified the code accordingly. Hopefully there should be no trouble now.
