Story behind the new profile pic

Praveen — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:15:12 +0000

It’s been almost a year since I changed my profile pic on the web. Looking back in time reminds me of the days when I had no options to change my profile pic, simply because I didn’t have a pic on the computer. A scanned copy of my snap was the closest I could get to change my profile pic.

And now, with too many options, it gets difficult to decide which one to use. After a bit of digging, I found a picture which looks very similar to the default avatar on Yahoo! messenger for Mac.

Latest offering by Kodak Camera – 512 GB Card

I was travelling to office by cab, suddenly Ranjith noticed an advertisement on the bus (BEST). Made a joke out of him for saying “Free 512 GB card” with the camera. I didn’t believe ranjith until I saw the blunder today at Andheri. This time I was lucky enough to capture it.
The great thing about the AD is, it reads “Free 512 GB Card + Battery charger”, I got to buy one & use it for lifetime without deleting any snaps. Hope they correct this mistake.

[Update] – Informed the kodak commercial department.

Hello World!

Praveen — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 12:06:53 +0000

Before you guys start wondering as to why the post title “Hello World”.

“Hello World!” If that sounds geeky well…. I am following my religion, yeh the religion of a programmer. Every programmer(I know there are exceptions) must have written a “Hello World” program in his early programming days.

//End geek code block

I had a blogger account for quite some time and somehow didnt find it flexible enough, hence the move to wordpress. More than that I just wanted a reason to get a domain name for my self . Tried importing my blogger posts to wordpress but no success . Might try some time later to get them to my archives.
So the big question .. what do I blog about. I’m happy to say that I wont restrict myself to any specific topic (I’ll try & keep it techie).
Somehow I have a feeling that the first post is the most booring, & time consuming(according to some of my friends).
A few people to thank, Bhavik for getting the domain stuff done, my hosting service Creaima & a couple of them for their suggestions. I have modified the wp theme laila for this blog. Thats it for today.
