Ok ok,

After the re-design, i have been experimenting with other blogging platforms for better publishing power. Tested Nucleus, B2Evolution, Movable Type, Word press and even Joomla.

Movable Type appears to be the most comprehensive and powerful solution and thus disqualifies itself as too much of a good things eventually becomes a bad thing. The rest were pretty simple and not worth the move from blogger.

Finally hit upon Word Press 2.7 as my new blogging platform. Installed it on my web server and took for a spin. Light, fast, and offers customization. The downside was that i would be stuck with the crappy word press themes or be forced to download from the internet.

For the past week, i’ve been hard at work creating my own word press custom theme which is basically a mirror of my blogger design, but with word press engine calling the shots. Who knows, the next post might even be from word press.

ps: Blogger is good, but not good enough.
Cheers

Ok ok,

I recently got feedback that my comments link has not been available for awhile now. I have fixed the issue with the new Blogger embedded comment dock.

Cheers

Ok ok,

In a couple of hours, we’ll all be done with 2008. It has been anything but a memorable year, with inane price hikes and a preposterous explosion of inflation. In short, this year has been a pain in the donkey.

In the real world, everyone … and their grandmother is struggling to deal with the soaring inflation. Just about the only people who have something to smile about are the Jedi masters who are employing their cheap mind tricks on us.

Meanwhile, the bread and butter issues remain unanswered. It is sort of having a 200Kg gay gorilla sitting in your living room making lewd gestures at you that everyone sees but no one wants to talk about. It’s there, but all the Jedi circle is seemingly oblivious to it. I shudder to think what is to become of us.

I pity those who actually voted in favour of the Jedi counsel. I guess you must be feeling pretty foolish by now. But on the other hand, even the smartest and most clairvoyant of us did not expect this.

Some Highlights:

We won Pedra Branca. We lost more of our money.

We lost the Suzuki Cup. We lost more of our money.

We had F1. We lost more of our money.

We stopped the Singapore Flyer. We lost more of our money.

We. We lost more of our money.

e. We lost more of our money.

. We lost more of our money.

Can’t wait to see what 2009 brings to the forsaken red dot.

Cheers

ps: I should settle down in Cairo.
