I modded it ofcourse to my needs a bit …. its more or less untouched atm tho. And btw, the creator is an Indian too :cheesy: And this isnt the first theme by him that i have liked. Good Job Sadish :)

Domain - Jalife v2

under Online Life at 7:48 pm on February 27th, 2006

Finally i have the domain that i wanted. http://jalife.net

I was planning to buy it and save money for it for a long time. But since i don’t have a credit card nor does paypal work in my country afaik and nor did i understand paypal fully. So I and Matt were having a chat and he got me the domain from the money he got from his dreamhost discount code. Ill put it up as soon as i get it from him in the morning :P So dt if you are reading this, tell me your link.

The transfer didnt take long. And the domain is up and running ;) I think this warrants a new theme :P Anyway i have the old domains and subdomains (jalife.be and ja.thedt.net) redirected here. Ill probably use ja.thedt.net for some other purpose when i figure one out. Maybe it can be my upload site ?? I like the /up folder. Lets see.

All the subdomain’s are still .be’s Ill move them when i feel the need / feel bored / the .be domain expires :P
The domain is payed for a year. Lets see what i can do upto that time. I guess no one requires and jobs done in c and c++ done right ?? I seriously should learn php 5 and mysql db’s at the end of this sem ;)

ObjectDock

under General Stuff, Online Life at 12:04 pm on February 25th, 2006

I went to my friends place and noticed that he has objectdock. So i downloaded it last night. Its been about 1 hour since i installed it and now i can say i have configured it perfectly as i like. This is my thrid configuration and i am going to stick with it. No more windows taskbar. I was avoiding such apps for so many years since they used to slow down my already slowish pc. But since i got more ram, everything seems to be better. I am doubtful if the upcomming windows vista will work on full graphics on my pc (because of its on the fly blurring), so i might as well enjoy xp to the max ;)

My current setting has all my apps, startmenu, my computer, games and utilities on my top bar which is retractable. Then comes by right end center bar which covers all my taskbar items and the right end bottom bar has all my system tray apps thus giving me access at my finger tips and yet giving it a bit different look :) The only problem is that the top bar takes up the position of my winshaded winamp window. I guess winamp will hence forth be off centered :P
The taskbar also keeps a screenie of any window/popup if you want so its pretty good :)

I am running ObjectDock Plus 1.20.522u

Lets get a few themes and tinker around ;) Here are a few screenies Read the rest of this entry »

Double Live Testing

under Online Life, Wassup at 12:24 pm on January 7th, 2006

3 Days back i was invited to Live Mail Beta testing :D Today (well overnight) i got 15 invites to windows live messenger (WLM)
Live Mail Beta is pretty good. Its still underdevelopment and simple. It has a cool new feature called reading pane which is really cool imo ;) The 2 gb space helps too. The only problem is that it doesnt completely support firefox and IE 7 that i use needs to be refreshed a few times for it to work :-/

Actually i should never had gotten those 15 WLM invites cause im a WLM User which means i was invited by a tester who was invited by microsoft. I think microsoft is opening up the servers to more users gradually so they can test the load on the servers and they want to slowly increase the number of users using protocol 13.

But everyone got random number of invites. dt, who invited me, got 5 invites like chris (surfi) got as many as 19 :| Odd huh ?!? :P

Wp Emote Pack 2.0

under Projects at 12:28 pm on December 27th, 2005

The readme isnt updated as of yet to the link to this post but it will be.

Im getting late for lectures :rolleyes:

You can download it from here.

The update is for the latest wordpress compliant vars.php and i have concidently added a few emotes as well. The new emotes are :php:, :( and :n00b:

The second one i missed out during my initial release. I noticed it once but then i forgot about it (A)

Wordpress 2.0

under Online Life, Sitework at 12:16 pm on December 27th, 2005

Wordpress 2.0 is out. Its just been 7 days since the rc 3 release and a stable version is out. Thank god i didnt upgrade in that period. I never knew being lazy actually could help me out :P

Anyways, there is no use in me telling you what the new features are cause if you are a user at wordpress.com then you have already seen most of the additions (most prominent of which is the admin cp which i love ;))

The wysiwyg is looking good so far. But not everyone likes it. I like it so far :rolleyes:

I had to make a few changes and it took me some time to change some stuff as i have customised my copy and the locations of the smileys and stuff is different. Anyways, enjoy it ;)

WLM invites

under Online Life at 1:28 am on December 22nd, 2005

Well im a tester for microsoft and have been so for the past year and a half. I originally wanted to do stuff for the messenger and the os departments both of which are quite tough to get into. The latter one is obviously the most prestigious one and takes time.

Tho i never got into the messenger department and i was gutted when i wasnt invited for wlm even tho i was more qualified than most other people (most of whom were beginners/first timers :|) Anyways a msn testing oldie RebelSean (a friend of mine from the messenger plus! forums) said on his blog here that he is willing to give out invites.

So if you want to be in contention then comment away.
