Blogs themselves! February 23, 2007
Posted by lordoftheflame in Blogroll.add a comment
These days, blogs that write about blogs themselves are turning out to be too interesting for me to resist, one that is close to what I myself wanted to write and the second ‘un that is answers section in the google’s blogger help center.
While all of’em, teh tricks I mean, really sound intersting, I am still not convinced why and how I , at present, should push myself hard to get that daily update.
One more thing I am still unclear about is whether to add my recent blog reads to delicious or post them on my blog as suggested by the above blogs. Given the little time delicious takes and the minimal distraction it incurs, it seems to be a better solution.
In teh mean while, more than reading blogs and writing posts, somethin else really caught my attention and gulping in some of my precious time. Some part of the rest is taken over by Mr.Dilbert.
Half-Post! – The mess those two days – Part I February 18, 2007

This was a story, I always wanted to write, but never did. All of a sudden, while managing folders on my computer .153 at IMG (this is gonna be temporary dot7 while we format that for the good of the world, more about this latter), I found this half-post well written, but never finished. Time to do it now. Here it goes -
“Well, I didn’t write about’em until this long for quite a few reasons.First,I am lazy to write,its that simple and straightforward, and I don’t try to make it an issue for I know that it’s common.And then, almost all the time I set out to write a log, I find myself connected to the internetwork and no one can deny the distractions the net has up in its sleeves.Lastly, I felt that there are many other stints of higher priority and importance that need my immediate attention every minute.But realising that even after this much time since then, those two days are still clear in my memory evincing the fun they’ve created, I finally set out to document(or rather ‘blog’) it. You might as well ask me why I don’t have those higher priority issues,the answer you can safely get though,is that I am sitting before this dumb screen now, yet not connected to the internet, I’ve my test series in a couple of days and I am not in any mood to prepare for them now.
So,now that the clarifications needed are dealt with it,let’s get down to the fun section.I am still fumbling for words for summarizing those two days and of what happened then.It all started with one of the second yearites making a mess by deleting one of the programs of the news management system(:-o ).It is pretty good a system, conceived by ojha and properly taken to its completion by ankit, after some days of labour.I was particularly interested in the idea.Even if we forget about all that, deleting some of it means that many of the announcements and news posts from various departments and centers of the institute would come to a halt,either permanent or temporary(if only we succeeding in getting it back to operation in time).First he startled ankit and myself that he has deleted the files…”
