Old Wine in a new Bottle

Yes. I’ve taken the plunge. Finally ! Done the deed. Although it did not quite require me to buy orchids and go down on one knee, it wasn’t easy. I’d been waiting for her very patiently. She’d been taken by someone else. Perhaps, he didn’t treat her well. The day he let her go, I made her mine. And thus begins my romance with chinmaykamat.com She’s quite nice in many ways. But its a long journey ahead.

I’d always wanted to shift to a self hosted domain but did not want to settle on anything else than chinmaykamat.com – hence I had to wait for a long time as it was registered by someone else. One major reason to shift is that personal hosting gives you a lot of flexibilty with regards to what you want to with your blog/site. I wanted to hand-code the entire site and had planned to do it assiduously in the vacation. But all plans never materialise, do they ? I tried coding a bit but I’m not that competent at it so finally settled on a Wordpress blog. Currently, its just a blog like it was at beckhamsbarber, but as we progress in time, I hope to adorn in with niceties.

I have tried to tweak the Wordpress theme – but haven’t been able to do it impressively at all. I would have ideally wanted to end up with something like his blog but as you can see it isn’t a pale shadow of his creative abilities. I had planned to switch completely in August as a lot of work is still to be put into this. The blank space that we see at the top having “Stupidity….” will have to be replaced with something flashy. There isn’t a favicon yet. The “About Me” in the right sidebar boasts of some Web codes. The hitch is that I’ve coded them in Java which needs an enviroment, so I’ll be needing to convert it to PHP or Javascript before I upload them here. Hence, it will take time.

This new platform brings with it a need to update regularly, something which I’m hoping I’ll succeed in doing. And do keep visiting kyunki sirf naam badla hai, baki kuch nahi.

It seems that he's written something new. Aha ! :P
