42 Quirks

I just upgraded the CMS on this blog.

The TagBoard may not be available for the next few days, until I find the appropriate plugin for the new version.

Kindly bear with it.

Also, if you find anything amiss, do let me know!

Cheers,
Shri!

My Laptop has conked off.

Actually, my stupidity entirely. I deleted the entire Linux partition without transferring the GRUB off the MBR. And now Windows won’t boot.

And, THAT is exactly the reason why I haven’t been able to post the next part.

Sigh.

A few more days. Really.

Cheers!

This is a post full of excuses.

I wanted to write about my experiences while Training at MICA. But I could not, because I was too busy.

I wanted to upload all the fotos of my MICA trip, and spend lots of time remembering all the MICA moments. But I could not because I was too busy.

I wanted to write about going on air with Mandy for a whole week. But I could not, because I was too busy.

I wanted to write what a fantastic and super-cool jock Mandy is, and how I positively adore her. But I could not, because I was too busy.

I wanted to write about how my first week of going solo on-air has been. But I could not, because I was too busy.

I wanted to write about how despicable I find the shooting at Virginia Tech. But I could not, because I was too busy.

I wanted to write about how I am glad that two of my friends studying in Virginia Tech are alive and safe today. But could not, because I was too busy.

I wanted to write a story because I haven’t written one in a long, long time. But I could not, because I am too busy.

I wanted to write about so many things. But I could not, because I was too busy.

Busy doing what, did you ask?

Making excuses.

Somehow, I seem to have forgotten that I own this blog. And that is a sad thing to happen. Heck, I feel ashamed of myself now. Am I that busy really?

Well, The answer is: No, I am not.

It took me just 20 minutes to bang out this post. So I am not as busy as I’d like to believe I am.

Sincere apologies for the infrequent nature of my appearances on this blog. I’d like to say I’ll be more regular in the future, but I have long stopped predicting futures. Especially, my own.

So here’s hoping that this post knocks some sense into my head.

And yes, the post about Categories and Tags is still pending.

I know this post is long overdue…

MICA was a fabulous place. It had all the elements a quirkyalone like me would ever want. It was remote, there was ample solitude and there was a good place to crash…

I have over 300 pictures of my days at MICA with all the other RJs from all over the country. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to upload all of them.

The first batch of 25 selected photos is up.

Here’s where you can access it:

More photos are on the way… You can subscribe to the RSS feed for this album if you want to be updated everytime I add something to this album.

There’s so much I want to write about MICA, and so little time…

The site may be down for a while. And most of the functionalities will not work.

Comments, especially will be turned off.

That’s because I am upgrading Wordpress to 2.1.1. Will be back by evening. Until then, please bear with me…

Cheers.

Update:
The blog is back online, though I expect frequent issues to crop up for two reasons primarily:

1. Wordpress 2.1.1 is not an official Wordpress release. It’s not even an RC. It is known to be quite buggy. But I hope it’ll stick together.
2. I am still not satisfied with the Template. There’s something still missing. Something that’s typically Shrikant. It’s not yet, how do I put it - boisterous?

Do let me know your thoughts. And if you can recommend a template for me, well, maybe you’ll get some free ice-cream…
