Ankit’s Weblog

This just a test post from my Nokia N 72 to test the WordPress’s new ‘Post by Email’ feature. Hope it works this time. Previous was try failed. Noticed that the wordpress email id was wrong.

From the posts that I’d imported from my Live Journal account I realized that if I use this code in my posts I can use the font of my own choice.

Here’s the code:-

“<p class=”MsoNormal”><span style=”font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;”></span>”

Though Robin promised me that once I get a self-hosted blog he’ll write a  new CSS for my blog according to my needs.

After three days of break I’m trying to log into twitter and seeing this message:-

With the news like Facebook  implementing a new design just to fight back the wave of publicity and success earned by rival social network Twitter I wonder what is the future of this anything 140 characters blogging!

While browsing through blog posts on Readomattic I arrived at a post (sadly I lost the post’s url)  that had a very clear explanation of the future of this kinda blogging.

Here’s an elaborate Facebook vs Twitter comparision.

Anyway Happy Holi to all friends!

With the prevailing laziness of visiting photo labs to get the photos printed I resorted to an online photo printing service named Zoomin.

This evening I received my first print order of fifteen 4×6 inches photos that I placed on 15th. It charged me only Rs-28 as shipping charges while the first fifteen prints was free of cost as per their promotional incentive.

I’m really impressed by the quality of the prints and the speed of their service, something that the photo labs in my city completely lack. Felt good!

Their website interface is similar to that of Flickr with small changes here and there. They’re using the same desktop uploading tool as the flickr does. Zoomin allows you to print your photos in almost every size of your choice. Print it on mugs, T-Shirts, etc or create calendars, posters whatever you want.

Also signed up for Twitter. Tried to add Twitter widget to my blog but it failed. Both html and the flash require self-hosted blog.

The only reason why I’m not having a self-hosted blog is that I’m unable to figure out a domain name.

Anyway added Twitter RSS feed to a new RSS widget in the sidebar.

Well it took 16 days to BSNL to figure out the problem and fix it. Now they got my DSL working. They always take that much time to deal with my DSL broadband problems because of the fact that I’m the only one subscriber of BSNL broadband in this area (Laksar Road).
Moreover, this month they billed me with an obsolete amount of Rs-10844 according to HOME250 plan which I already changed on 24th of October to HOME750 plan with unlimited download/upload. However they corrected my bill now and I’ve to pay only Rs-843 monthly.

After protracted delay, I finally got my BSNL Broadband installed toady.

I insisted BSNL in the form, a modem with four Ethernet ports but the BSNL’s chap came up with a modem having just one Ethernet and one USB port, saying that the modem that I mentioned in the form is no longer supplied by BSNL.

Damn, How I gonna share my DSL with another PC/laptop/Portable Wi-Fi device ?(Currently, none of which I have).

And after today’s extravagant browsing spree I hitherto ended up spending substantial 40MB of my 1GB quota! (HOME 250 Plan gives you 1GB free usage for Rs-250).

Update:- Actually It wasn’t 45MB it was 270MB !!

Got Apoorv’s profile on Orkut after a month long of orkutting.
