A very innovative project by Coca cola, finally they did something better then there brrrRR commercial which is quite annoying. Any how apart from critics while browsing the tv i stumbled upon an episode of coke studio featuring ‘Ali Azmat’ and ‘Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’ singing Balaman [download here] a semi classical song mixed with the modern feel with guitars and immediately fell in love with the song. I am not a big fan of classical music but i guess with age this taste develops which is bad as it seems and feels like growing old which is one thing we really want to avoid.

Being into web i searched on the coke studio and for a moment was impressed with the website they had build although they used wordpress for there core system but no doubt a very nice job done and some body did work on details for it.

Thanks to them all of us who missed the performance on tv can download the songs in mp3, and can even watch the videos on YouTube. There are four episodes expected from them and first one has been released on there website from where you can download the songs or view the videos check them out

Those who still have no idea what coke studio:

Coke Studio is a journey into the heart of a recording studio where you will be able to experience the magic of live music being performed by some of the most talented musicians and artists of Pakistan.Born out of a dream to merge tradition with modern, consistency with change, we have embarked on a journey to create a first hand experience for you to witness live studio sessions - something very few people have witnessed before as studio recording sessions are a secretive process normally only reserved for producers and musicians to witness and experience.

Why does every Monday feels like a dejaVu ? You wake up and you think for a while and you can see the whole day in front of your eyes …. then there is a thought what if i am sick do i have a sick leave …. but no you can’t you have your bills to pay and responsibilities to fulfill …

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
Steve Jobs

I am not sure if i could ever understand what Steve Jobs meant by that …. finding something you love to do … being a successful CEO its quite easy to make such quotations which get read by thousands and maybe many like me get inspired and guided by them as well but what if Steve Jobs was not the CEO of Apple, what if his started company failed years back and he was no one then would his quotes make the same impressions that they make today ? Will his quote about finding what you love to do make any sense ?

Today a weired thing happened for first time after two years my Windows Vista which came pre installed in my laptop crashed. I had been using it for an year now and so far strangely it didn’t cause any problems, i optimized it for high performance removed a huge junk of softwares pre-installed into it and shifted it to be in optimized high performance mode.

To be frank i was a bit satisfied with windows Vista. But today a strange thing happened, while working i was downloading some huge files via ftp and immediately a blue screen came with a message Memory Dump. Grrr ! the first thought in mind and concern was my data. To my luck the windows Vista recovered back and returned back to its desktop there crash agent opened who warned me that the windows didn’t shut down properly and you should scan to detect where the problem came from so i said yes go ahead the application scanned for a few minutes and then came up with a success message that the problem of the crash has been discovered. I was quite excited that they have gone so smart but to my shock the message the gave me was
“The problem was caused by Windows Vista, which was created by Microsoft Corporation”

for a moment i though were they kidding me, i am using a software that is created by Microsoft Corporation and when it crashed the reason that the software detected was the software its self . Hahah so was this a confession by Microsoft!

This seems like a nice Friday post, the week has ended most of the pilled work finished, some on schedule & some a little late from schedule. But there is one fact I am quite exhausted and for Saturday I definitely need to watch a nice Movie I hope some gr8 movies get released the last one which I enjoyed was a month back called “Flawless”.

So finally i updated my blog with Wordpress 2.5 along with a bunch of blogs i owe. So this seems like the first post with the shinny new Wordpress 2.5 admin Panel. So whats special with wordpress 2.5 well here are the things that i like :

• I love the new admin panel, finally we are free from the old boring admin panel
• Great way to moderate the comments (too good)
• Finally write a post opens up real fast (they had a problem it took a while to open write a post in previous versions)
• My most favorite Tag’s are now well organized
• Add Media options added to “write a Post” but i dont like the lightbox js they have used for the “Add Media” its slow and not that accessible in admin panel in my point of view.
• Finally the admin panel css is well organized, well structured & easy to understand & i can change its colors too to refresh my self.
• Media library looks nice & organized
• I like the serious & a bit mac look of the panel
• Its quite stable and my custom theme is working fine

So far i love what they have done now i hope they change the default theme as well, and i hope that HappyCog (the people behind the new WP design) come up with a nice looking default theme for wordpress too… as the Wordpress say “CODE IS POETRY” they proved it right ! keep it up people
