BACK

October 8, 2009 Kurt 1 comment

This has been a long break for me, almost 8 months. I never thought that I would be back, but Guess What? Am Back. Not planning on a serious comeback, whenever I find an interesting topic to blog about, I’ll just post a link to that site :)

Also, there is one more thing special about this post. Am posting it through my email. Cool… isn’t it? WordPress, always has something up its sleeve.

I clearly remember when I started blogging, I used to own a blog at blogger.com & I was a power-user there. I would always mess around with my site template, keep adding stuff to it, etc,… One fine day, my office firewall started blocking blogger, I was screwed & that was the end of life for me. I had never imagined a life with blogging (lol) & I was so used to Blogger, that even the slightest thought of switching to another site made me uncomfortable.

One of my friend(HP) advised me to check out WordPress. It was love at first sight for me. Something was so right about this blogging site, that I decided to ditch blogger & move over to WordPress for good. WordPress also let me move all my old Blogger posts to their account, that was like cherry on top of the cake. I have never looked back since. Even though I can no longer screw my site’s templates & customize it to my will(I won’t stop cribbing about it). I can choose a theme for my site from the 100 options available, I can add widgets (huge collection of widgets) to my site. The new DashBoard for WordPress has stunning UI (User Interface… duh!), everything is so organized that you will never get lost. I love this one thing on my Dashboard, whenenver I look at it, it makes me smile. It’s the Welcome Message that WordPress has, it goes “Howdy, Kurt”, it’s a small thing but I guess it’s their way of saying, “Relax, no pressure, enjoy your stay here & we won’t kick you out if you don’t submit a post in the next 10 mins”… :)

All in all a great Blogging site, with many useful features including Blog Stats, Polls, Storage Options, etc…
There would be many other blogs with same or enhanced features, but I am here to stay.
Hail WordPress !!!

That’s about it, hope to see this get published, using their new email feature, to know more about that, click here

Kkkkkya karega CrorePati???

February 8, 2007 Kurt 28 comments

Hi ppl,

Its been long time since i posted something on my blog, this post is just to keep my WordPress account active… :D

As you all know few weeks back Star started airing Kaun Banega CrorePati? once again. This time around it is being compered by none other than King Khan himself & mind you all he is doing a good job. Unlike Big B, Mr. Khan has a different approach towards his participants. SRK with his hyperactive persona is delivering a kick-ass performance day after day.(i hate myself for saying this…)

Now my post here is not abt SRK or his performance on stage. Its abt this question he keeps asking to all his participants when they are about to join him on the HOT Seat. He asks them, “Wht will they do with 2 crore rupees??” and the answers given by participants are really intresting.

My question is the same,”What will you do if you win 2 crore rupees??

Imagine you are sitting on the HOT Seat & have just answered the 15th Question for 2 crore rupees.

SRK:- Mr/Miss.* apka jawab 2 crore rupiyon ke liye hai option D.
Mr/Miss.*:- yes
SRK:- Are u sure? u can leave this game, if u want.
Mr/Miss.*:- No, just freeze it.
SRK:- Ok, Computerji Option D ko freeze kiya jaye
Mr/Miss.*:- (bitting his nails….)
SRK:- (sigh….)
Mr/Miss.*:- (even more nevrous…)
SRK:- y did u not select option A?
Mr/Miss.*:- i think option D is right
SRK:- But…. option D is….
Mr/Miss.*:- is….
SRK:- Mr.* am soooo sorry but option D is…..
Mr/Miss.*:- (blank look on his face)
SRK:- is….. the right answer…… CONGRATULATIONS…. you have won 2 crore rupees
Mr/Miss.*:- Thank you SRK, i would also like to thank audience for their support
SRK:- com’on Mr/Miss.* give me a hug….


Hope to see some crappy & wacky comments…

Flash News…

October 11, 2006 Kurt 15 comments

Hi all,

This is a very HOT news…
I thought i should also cover this news; as all the news channels are covering only this HOT news 24/7, they no longer care abt Dengu which spreading like a Wildfire in the Capital or abt alarming cases Chikungunya in the country…

All they want is to be the first person to cover “Bradgelina”(Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie) . Bradgelina are reported to be Pune to shoot for a new movie in which Angelina Jolie is doing a lead role.

The media has been hovering around the place like bees around the beehive. They are all over the place. They have cameramen standing in front of every possible window. Yeah, even the bathroom window is under surveillance, i wonder wht do Bradgelina do differently in their bathroom, mebbe they S**T from their mouth…. yuuuucccckkkkkk

Also Suddenly there has been a sudden rise in the number of auto-rickshaws in Pune. These rickshaws are not the ordinary ones tht we daily use; these are Elite ones.
They have all the amenities one could never think of…
The ppl who drive these auto-rickshaws are very noticeable, they don only branded clothes along with the most expensive watches & perfumes and speak fluent English, with an American-Tamil/Pujabi/Bhaiya/Malalayam/etc… accent

The following in an exclusive report from PUNE:-

According to reports, IT industries have complained that suddenly most their employees have not reported to their offices from last Sunday. The senior management is very concerned with this sudden disappearance of their employees. They had asked the local polic to look into the matter.

The local police reported saying,”That most of the I.T. employees fantasize abt Angelina being their wife/G.F & are BIG fans of Angelina Joile & since she is in town they are eager to catch a glimpse of her. So, most of these Software Professionals have leased auto-rickshaws from the local auto-drivers & modified it remarkably & are driving it around the Hotel Bradgelina are staying. With a hope that they might get a chance to meet their favourite star, when the next time she decides to go sight seeing in an Auto-Rickshaw…

:D :D

Hope Drives the World…

Thanks for your precious time viewers, i gotta go, my train to Pune will be leaving in an hours time :D .
See u there guys….

ne hub on???

August 18, 2006 Kurt 8 comments

Hi to all my blogger/ non-blogger frenz,

This is a small story about how i hit a jackpot….

Lights, Camera, Pepsodent :) :-

I had brought a brand new P.C. a few weeks back & it has a huge & spacious hard-disk, to be very precise its 160 gb. So now i was on a mission to fill the hard-disk to the max & i knew it was a hard job. I started mailing ppl who were in my locality to share some movies & songs with me. One of my freind readily agreed to it.

We decided to come online @ the sametime so that i could explain the steps to her. But she came with a new idea, she asked me, “Do you have ‘IP Msgr‘ installed on my machine?”. I couldn’t believe my ears, she was talking about the same messenger which is the back-bone of many in my office & i was one of its slave when i had joined my firm :) (those were the days). Luckily i had the installer for IP Messenger with me, i quickly installed it & we started our tranfer, but we couldn’t tranfer much coz the transfer speed was very poor. So, we called it quits @ 2.00 in the night.

A brief intro about IP Messenger, this msgr works as a normal messenger, its not a flashy one, as most you u might think. Its the drilled down version of Yahoo & MSN. Close to wht G-talk looks, but even G-talk is way ahead of IP Messenger. It only works on a LAN, so you cannot add ppl as u do in the rest of the messengers.

The next day was a different story, i saw around 15-16 people on my IP msgr & i knew no1 from the list, so i closed it and went back to work.
All of a sudden i got a message on my IP msgr, ne hub on???“;
i promptly replied to his message , “Which hub are u talking about? “
The reply was ”any private hub”
I said, “how do u connect to a hub??”
he said,”Download DC++ & u r all set”
I asked, “How do i connect to a hub once i download DC++?”
He replied, “Just press ctrl+Q and key in the IP address of the Hub”
I asked. “Where will i get the Ip addr from?”
He replied, “If any one hosts a hub, they’ll circulate their IP addr, so tht other ppl can join & share stuff”.
I thanked him for helping me, coz i was doing all this for the first time.

Later in the night i got a few hub names tht i could join, and from there it was a different story. In the hub u have access to almost anything & everything. From Games to movies to songs to installers to porn, etc, etc…..
Its a heaven for all.
I was really suprised by the hub thing, coz i never expected a hub in my locality. I had heard from a fren of my abt the HUB in his network & was supposed to subscribe with his network. But somehow things didn’t workout properly & i had to go for my current network. But now am really GLAD.
i never realised tht the small message would change my life so much.

HAIL HUB!!!
HAIL DC++!!!

Kurt
