I’m dropping this blog. To those two people who are subscribed to this blog, thank you. I’m moving base. If you follow me through a feedburner link, you don’t have to do anything. You’re most welcome to check out the new site though.

If you follow me, I love you. Intend to stop subscribing? I’ll still love you. It’s all for love …

You must have heard of the saying “eschew obfuscation, espouse elucidation”. This is a “fumblerule”; a rule in english grammar that goes against the very point it wishes to enforce. Brilliant stuff:

• A writer must not shift your point of view.
• Do not put statements in the negative form.
• Avoid commas, that are not necessary.
• Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
• If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times, resist hyperbole.
• Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.

I realized maintaining an independent blog just for coding involves a lot more effort than I can currently afford. So i’ve brought back my posts to this blog. But the principle problem remained: Some people don’t really care to see my code, while others might.

Since, yours truly aims to please, I’ve customized my feeds and you can get just the stuff you want with the following RSS links: + My Personal Posts (basically the ones without any code) + My Coding Posts category=code (I post stuff with actual code here like useful terminal commands, php snippets, java code etc.) + My Complete Feed (If you love me as much as i love you, this is the link you should follow)

Currently I’m not skipping my coding posts from my blog homepage because I’m undivided on if that’s the right thing to do (though a little php tweaking is all it requires).

All this was actually pretty simple courtesy WordPress (you… wonderful chunk of PHP you…).

(Nerd Note: Category = Code implies there’s actual code in the post, Tag = Coding implies thoughts on the process of coding)

just spruced up this blog. i’ve changed the looks to give it a more cleaner feel and also added some goodies. here’s a roundup of the changes if you’re interested in doing the same:

• adding daring fireball styled rss links (i’ve had it before, but there were some kinks that needed straightening) courtesy: DFLL plugin
• changed the site appearance directly to add a permanent url at the bottom. requries some basic php judo to get done courtesy: random post at metafilter
• to make sure i’m more regular, i’ve rigged my setup to directly blog from TextMate courtesy: this post form TBR that inspired me, wonderful live video from the makers of TextMate and this awesome plugin from Justin Blaton that allows me to work with the custom links.

if you’re subscribed to this blog, i love you and please update your rss feed link to this one. i’ve dropped feedburner and decided to serve my rss feed with good old xml. you can alternatively click to see the site in all its css styled glory and click the rss icon hovering there on the left.

super productive day for blogging, not for the other things…
