Time to Re-Design Blog
Okai its time to redesign the blog, this version was my first one with customized CSS and integration with portfolio, in the next one i am planning to enhance functionality & usability strict valid XHTML/CSS, might try ajax, RSS and a few more functional enhancements required.

Portfolio needs some sort of easy update functionality, which is a bit hard for me to find or build due to my busy schedule.

Basant Festival
Coming weekend is going to be the basant festival here in Lahore, its a kind of a party night every thing becomes legal … and party all night and yeh if you get time then you might fly some kites too. Its an event worth celebrating in Lahore.
The event is divided into two occasions, first one is basant night where on Sat night every body puts search lights on the roof tops and fly kites, the city is lightened up and there is festivity & celebration.
The next on is basant day where no lights but lots of kite flying, bar b q, loud music and full of fun.

Although There is a lot of controversy on this festival , as it costs life loss and financial loss , well the life loss is that many people fall from roof tops, get hurt by gun fire (a symbol of celebration) … and many innocent people driving on bikes die due to the fact that the kites string made with chemicals/ crushed glass, runs through there neck while driving on bike and causes life loss.

Way back in my childhood i never heard such things as at the time it was all about flying kits and having some fun, but now the new age brings kite strings build with chemicals, metal wires and very sharp blade like crused glass on it which can easily cut & cause life loss.

But still government has allowed the event and has allowed kit flying / purchase for two weeks only after which a ban will be imposed on it. The city is all decorated with color full flags, banners & lights …. Roof tops are booked for parties by corporations, we are all ready for party !

Ajax is Changing the world
Probably i am two years behind in finding out about the new technologies, Ajax is a techniqu that has been around for a while, major example gmail, secondary some portions of yahoo. And now its all over the web.

Winamp has recently added an Ajax based MP3 player plugin>> Link

This plug-in allows you to control Winamp over the network using a web browser. It utilizes AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript & XML) techniques to recreate the Winamp interface right in your browser.

EyeTool >> now look at the level of research people do & what do we do !

Eyetools provides tools and services to measure eye-movement as people look at WebPages to quantify what people read, what they don’t read, what they glance at, what they skip, and what they never see…
— and then we correlate this to their clicks, comments, and actions.

Finally beta version of my blog is completed, I was capable enought to edit & modify the CSS style sheet for the blog which i had been trying to achive for the past one year, i should celebrate.

NO ONE CAN STOP PIRACY ~ SUPPORT OPEN SOURCE

Microsoft said it would remove controversial copy-protection software that CDs from music publisher Sony BMG install on personal computers, deeming it a security risk to PCs running on Windows.

The XCP program, developed by First4Internet in Britain and used on music CDs by Sony BMG to restrict copying and sharing, has generated concern amongst computer users, because it acts like virus software and hides deep inside a computer where it leaves the backdoor open for other viruses.
