Brake

If it was not evident already, my blog is taking a break. That’s until I fix the current issues or move to a new host.
Thanks :)

Zooming numbers

Visitor statistics for 2006 (Jan to Aug)


Number of people visiting this website has grown so much in the recent past that I have started facing [tag]bandwidth issues[/tag]. Approximately on an average, everyday 150 [tag]unique visitors[/tag] visited during the previous month (August).

Comparing these figures with any other blog will reveal that this is barely a start. Nevertheless, these zooming numbers are pleasing indeed.

cheers

Remembrance week: Dec 26 to Jan 01

December 26 2005: An earthquake occurs off Sumatra islands measuring 9 on the Richter scale and lasting for about 10 minutes, a magnitude and duration so high that it made mother Earth wobble on its axis. The effect: over 2.75 lakh (275 thousand) people – from India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia consumed by mighty sea waves.

World Wide Help website appeals as follows.

WWH Remembrance Week​
​​​​Last year, on the 26th December, an earthquake, and then a tsunami, killed, wounded, or impoverished hundreds of thousands of people in South Asia.

These disasters took their immediate toll, and, each time, the world tried to help. But as calamity piled upon calamity, there has been a certain amount of fatigue. Perhaps people’s stock of goodwill has run low. Perhaps seeing too much suffering hardens us.

During the course of the year, other disasters took their toll too. Most devastating of them: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the South-East coast of the USA; and another enormous earthquake near Pakistan’s border with India.

But, the fact is, the suffering from those disasters has not ceased. Parts of South Asia have still not recovered from December 26th, 2004. In the USA, normalcy hasn’t returned to New Orleans. In Pakistan, thousands are still homeless, and may not survive the harsh Himalayan winter.

They need your help.

Last December and this January, the online community came together as never before to help in the aid efforts in South-East Asia. The lessons learned there were put to use, and improved upon, when the other tragic events of the year unfolded.

Can we harness that goodwill, that togetherness, that willingness to help once more?

The WorldWideHelp group would like you to join us in Remembrance Week. Here’s what we suggest you do.

WWH Remembrance Week

Use your blogs, your home pages, your wikis, your newsletters. Link to your favourite charities and NGOs, write a paragraph about them and the work they are doing, and ask your readers to make a donation.

Tsunami Help Wiki gives lot of information

CSS Again

Themes
You can now view this website by applying 4 distinct themes- Agni, Jal, Aakash, Prithvi. These alterations in color schemes are experimental at the moment :-)

How to Stop Feeling Bad About Using Tables for Layout and Start Enjoying Your Markup
I think stumbling on this page was a perfect timing. I put too much emphasis on CSS and it was frustrating when I could not get the desired cross-browser compatibility while working with layers.

You must be really living out in the sticks if you haven’t heard by now that using HTML tables for layout is bad. Markup is for content, CSS is for presentation, we learned.
You must be living in the land of magic mushrooms if you haven’t realized by now that making CSS do exactly what you want is easier said than done.
See, in the ideal, happy-go-lucky world, everything is just right. The content, custom-tailored by suave professional markup writers, fits perfectly into the widths and proportions of your template. The browsers support standards at exactly the same level and in exactly the same way….

Definitely a good read. And plenty of mental satisfaction too !

Birth of yet another blogger

Namaskar!

Finally! I was able to setup the weblog, with some of help and trying (in vain) to play around with MySQL vs PostgreSQL. The blog does work now, and I’m glad to have one on my website. This will, hopefully, give a dynamic look to my otherwise static website. I’m (in)famous for not updating the site for months together. Now I intend to update it regularly (and eventually contribute more junk to the already cluttered cyberspace)

Cheers !
