DISQUS

Happy B'day to Techie Buzz !
The 2 year baby has definitely accomplished a lot :)

The design looks great and loved the font. Any reason for avoiding the navigation menu in the header ?

Interesting to see that no pages are hosted locally except "archives" !

Also loved the way you've linked "About Me" linking to Wikipedia only that the wikipedia page needs to be updated (It doesn't say that you are currently working in FastCompany :) )

even my hosting is up for renewal next month and I have started checking on some of the hosting providers.. MT is good but is too expensive for me.. if not MT what hosting would you suggest, I am currently on Dreamhost !

You should definitely checkout Xobni

Let me know if you want an invite :)

If you still have spare invites left, please do send me one.
Thanks.

Congrats !
Where did you buy and how much did it cost ?

I was a big time putty user and later started searching for a tabbed terminal and finally landed on Poderosa - a worth alternative to Putty :)

I bought it :) and I wrote about it :)

Compared to Nokia/SE phone which are priced at around 15K, HTC touch at 20k is worth every penny

Orkut !! I am not sure if Google is every going to pay much attention to this app.
Google as I have seen pays the least attention to orkut, there is no official blog on Orkut.

We rarely see updates (last one was GTalk integration/Video sharing I believe).

Sometimes I wonder if the lawsuit on Orkut itself is holding back Google on doing anything on this social networking site !

I for one like simplistic themes and if you ask me the current theme looks much better than the blog that you just linked: blognation.

You could probably change the font,it would make a difference to the current theme.

Meanwhile Fahlstad has a good collection of themes here:

The layout looks cool including the header.

But the color(its kind of very bright) and font in the post is too small (on a 1600*1200) resolution.Not sure If I am the only one with this opinion :)

Cool.. I would definitely recommend canon for anyone wishing to buy a digital camera :)

Sansa does seem to have the goodies, but you would finally end up using 1 or 2 features and finally one feature i.e. listening music (I think thats what you also mentioned :) )

iPod does come at a price but it also has all the goodies built in.. good quality sound and good battery life

Few days back I was wondering what happened to the popular analytics site Measuremap. Probably its also one of the apps killed by Google !

Technorati ! Less spam ! Check this :)

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the invite, I did try posting my blog link twice, guess akismet has gobbled it !!

My blog is here:
http://www.venukb.com/blog

Its primarily a techie blog, I am sure you will find a few interesting posts :)

Your link blog is like another digg feed for me, everytime I refresh my feed reader, I find a dozen intersting/good posts :)

One of the other things you need to do is setup wordpress blog in your local machine

Whenever I shift to a new theme, i backup my blog, restore the contents on my local blog and start working on the new theme. Once everything is in place, all you need to do is upload and activate the theme :)

Regarding point 1, I am not sure why you ask to copy the sidebar contents, it will anyway be there in the sidebar.php of the old theme !

Agree on all the other points :)

To be honest the old template was much better I guess. Also I see ads in every other corner :)

Not used Zoomr but recently signedup for Flickr Pro. It is indeed the best photo sharing portal in my view.
I am not sure you can store the original image on Yahoo photos.

Flickr has everything you need, I also had a similar view like you until I explored all the feature of Flickr :)

I got an unexpected 7.3 Not bad eh !

Anway tell me how did you get 10 for accessibility, I mean what do you need to improve and that.

Also I lost out on the visitor rating thingy..

Nice tool though Thanks :)

I was using the Beta version of IE7 and I also observed the same thing,IE7 is damn slow, even when I create a new tab, it acts as thought I made a big mistake !

IE7 is supposed to be faster..however I felt that IE6 was much better (on the speed front) !

One of the ways to view it, is that if you use pirated software, it "might" affect the company's revenues which might affect compensation of employees and these employees migh be working out of india !!! So it affects india.. (and might be other countries as well)

Another way to see it is, if company wants cut down on expenses,they come down to india, same work is done (with good quality) at 1/10th of the cost. Benefit to india !!

I am sure few people are going to say "crap" after reading this, just a thought came to my mind after reading the other comments in the thread and I just jotted it down..

P.S Anyway I am against the use of pirated software and if you don't want to pay, search for the alternative in Open source :)

The video quality is amazing and the same goes for the sound. It was a treat to watch the high quality video in full screen :)
