Nostalgia
I found a couple of old notepads that my friends and classmates had written farewells in from 7 years ago.
Darn it, something got in my eye… *sniff*

Moving Day
The other side effect of not being able to sleep is that I finally moved this blog over to a new domain.
Welcome to the eponymous oookeeek.com! :)
The two of you that still have my RSS feed, please update it to the new one if you like. The old one will still work since I've set up an automatic redirect
In retrospect, I should have done this a lot earlier, just plonk in a .htaccess file with a 301 rewrite rule and move files. All done.

Epiphany
Lying in bed, unable to sleep, I realised I always want what I can't get. And once I have it, I'm not as interested any more.
This doesn't seem to apply to my books though. :)

A funny thing- I was in the middle of reading the "cartoon history of the world" series when I came across a picture of your bookshelf on flickr and what did I see there? The cartoon history series!
You always get there first!
(p.s. Yes I have bought it too. :))
(p.p.s Have you seen the HBO series Rome? Methinks you might like.)By

Heh, I've owned that for about 6 years now. I also own most of Gonick's Cartoon Guides.
I haven't seen Rome but I've heard of it. Guess I'll try and catch it someday.By

:) I was wondering if you were quoting a line from somewhere cause I heard very close to the same thing in a movie hehe.
I get once you have something you were chasing after, the interest does die since you dont have to chase around for it.By

An unlikely YouTube star
YouTube launched its Indian version a few days ago without much fanfare I guess. Or I don't know, it might have been covered in the local newspapers, but I don't look at any these days!
So what's different about YouTube India? For one, the featured and promoted videos are all from India. Also, if you look at the top right corner, they're promoting a special video to announce the launch of YouTube India.
This seemingly crotchety old Indian "uncle" is apparently some kind of You Tube star. In just over three months he has posted 500 videos! Mostly of him singing (not too well though) but also little tutorials on astrology, medicine and PHP(!)
With a droll sense of humour, and lines delivered with absolutely no expression on his face (or maybe that's just the poor web cam) he is quite the unlikely star. Yet there he is. On the front page of You Tube India. Say hello to Dr. K Chaudhry

He reminds me of the Maharashtrian uncle in the MTV ads of the '90s ("you are a nonsense person!"). Does that ring a bell?

Idle poking about
I'm so bored at work today that I started idly poking about different websites.
I found out that BigAdda (an Indian social networking site) is running a weblog written by Amitabh Bacchan (or so they say.)
More poking around. Their blog runs on WordPress. Their webserver is Apache and its all running on an Ubuntu Server.
WordPress themes folder
WordPress plugins folder
How do I know this? Well, the silly people have not disabled directory listing, so after guessing it was a WordPress install, I started checking out the standard tree of Wordpress folders, so now I know what's in their plugins folder and their themes folder and of course the helpful line at the bottom tells me they're running Ubuntu. Oh and for what its worth, they're actually running WP 2.5 or above.

I had to google the lyrics...
So was it significant that it was another Coldplay reference, that your dream had a soundtrack (mine don't), or something about the song itself?By

I dunno. I just found it interesting. can't remember the dream, so I don't know if that was significant. :)

Incidentally, both the Coldplay songs are from the OSTs of Zach Braff movies. Don't Panic from Garden State and Warning Sign from The Last Kiss.
Just an observation :)By
