(well… kind of)

SM was consipiring to turn Planet FLOSS India into Planet Sankarshan - so this entry is to drive a spanner through his monopolistic schemes [--insert evil laugh here--]. I have also moved my blog from CLAI to Random Ink - and finally managed to make the transition to Wordpress 1.0.2. This thing is really good - only gripe being that the blog URL is stored in the database - and that can cause major a PITA situation when moving your blog around. I also added the final touches to the new design that I had for my blog (no tables - just plain XHTML and CSS foo). Of course now I need to check whether the design renders properly on that Thing That Shall Not be Named - I am already having major troubles with keeping Planet FLOSS India cross browser. These sort of things make me angry - very angry indeed (though, for the record, I have no intention of blowing up the earth). Meanwhile - Seth Nickell of GNOME HIG fame has posted his thoughts on Mono. I think he’s right on about this. The software patent issue is getting murkier every day - and things like Mono (which does seem to be very attractive from the developer’s point of view) make me very scared.

Anyway - I watched Bhuvan Shome this evening - dunno how I managed not to see it all this time. I also have plans to go out and see Mystic River - hopefully I’ll be able to get some time for that.
