Host problems

The site was not available to anyone for more than a week. This was due to some problem with my host and today the backups were restored and I have got back my blog. I guess there won’t be any more problems form now on. I think it is time to resume my blogging work.

Repaired Keyboard

I couldn’t post yesterday because my keyboard drank some coffee and it is not in a working condition. I am currently accessing the computer in my friend’s house and I also have to prepare for two paper presentations in college. So I guess, I am a bit busy for the 2 weeks and I will try to squeeze myself for the occassional posts.

Site Redesigned

Free Software Blog now has a new look. Nearly a month after me changing hosts, I have atlast redesigned the theme with my favourite color - blue. This was done with Shocking Blue Green theme as a base. I am still yet finished with this theme and may bring in more smaller changes. Please comment on the theme and also suggest what other things can be made. Also if you can’t view this page correctly in any browser, please inform me via comments.

Domain registered

Atlast I convinced my father to allow me to use his credit card to register a domain. I have atlast registered a domain name (http://www.fslog.com) with Yahoo. The domain is still pending and would be active later. I guess by 2 days I would have setup my nameservers and changed the hosting information with Zeeblo.
So fslog.com will become this blog’s new home.
Update: I have changed the domain name and the new and final home of this blog is http://www.fslog.com. Got a few problems in the start, but with a little help from tinster at #wordpress sorted it out.

Switched to Wordpress

If you are reading this, then you are informed about my switch from Blogger (http://fslog.blogspot.com) to this wordpress based installation. I got free hosting from Zeeblo and got a free .be domain name. I had installed Wordpress 2.0 and its blogger import tool offers painless import. No need to change your blogger template manually. You just have to write the blogger username and password and the script automagically imports the site. It also returns your old blogger site back to the same state.

Things to do:

  • Categorise over 90 posts
  • Point my feedburner feeds to the new one
  • Write some pages (about, about me, etc.)
  • Install the required plugins. Almost done.
  • Install a new theme

I think I must do all these stuff in college, as it begins from tomorrow.

Update: I have bought a new .com domain name from Yahoo and it is http://www.fslog.com

Happy New Year

First a very Happy New Year to all. I must first apologize for not posting regularly. But yesterday I went for a reunion among my old school friends and we had a great party. I think this year onwards I must try to post regularly and also try to write nice articles. I am planning to shift my blog from Blogger to a Wordpress one. I must get some money first and try to get some space. If you feel like donating to it, please mail me at srinivasanr@gmail.com.
And Happy New Year again.

Break from posts

Many of you might have noticed that I haven’t posted for a few days and also the post count has been decreasing over many days. This is all because I have been preparing for my exams (I am doing my engineering in Computer Science). I have not got enough time to post the ODOC (One Day One Command) series too. Anyway I would try to post if time permits.

Template Changed

Atlast I have changed the template of my blog. I guess it looks nice and simple. If you find any thing wrong or not functioning or think this looks cool, please comment here. I want to make sure that the new template is accessible in all platforms and browsers.

Podcast for Free Software Blog

Free Software blog now has a podcast.
I have used the Talkr website to publish my RSS feeds as podcasts as well. You can listen to the podcasts by clicking on the link “Listen to this article” after every post. Or you can subscribe to the podcast by using a software. It automatically downloads the podcasts and plays them for you.
I would suggest iPodder for managing your podcasts as it is a free software and is available for Windows 2000/XP, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux.

Powerless for 30 hours

There was a heavy downpour in Chennai and it rained about 24 cm within 4 hours. So almost the entire city was switched off from power by the electricity board as a precautionary measure.
Power returned back to my area after more than 30 hours. Due to the rain I was not able to go for the premiere of “Legend of Zorro”. Very bad day.
Anyway I am back with more blogging and more news and articles.
