After an extensive period with comments disabled, they are hereby reopened.
The reason they were closed before, was becase that part of the template wasn’t finished.
Being the mate he is, Indranil stepped in and did the necessary code, taking hard criticism from me (if you haven’t noticed, I’m a perfectionist), but finishing it at last.
He’s also responsible for WordPress’ing the rest of the site, by working from a single XHTML template I created.
I couldn’t be more grateful–now, comment away.

A few months ago, we witnessed the birth of the Macbook Pro and the Intel iMac.
Ever since, I’ve been hoping they released iBooks with Intel processors.
My wish has been fulfilled.
Coincidentally, I was chatting (I hate that word) in #WordPress, and was suddenly notified of the release of the Macbooks by a link.

Yup, that’s right. No, I haven’t gotten another brother or sister (thank God!) — but a notebook computer!
It’s not a new machine; it’s very low-end, but it’s quite nice for school use, low-end gaming (Worms World Party, Solitaire, Knights anD Merchants, Half-Life) and the like.

I’ve gotten myself a job at a signmaker!
My tasks will include cutting signs, vectorising graphics, coffee-making and plotting murders on innocent citizens.
Ah, work!

After having installed Ubuntu Linux a month or so ago, I simply can’t imagine a world without it now.
Whenever I open Windows (which, by the way, happens rarely), I find myself restricted.
The GUI seems clumsy, installation takes ages (hey, on Linux it’s three or four commands, wget file, tar -xf file, dpkg -i file or even sudo apt-get install file) and the operating system feels slow and very unpractical.
What’s funny, is that my initial reactions when I started Ubuntu for the first time were the same; it felt clumsy and unorderly–and worst of all was the CLI.
Everyone migrating from Windows to Linux or UNIX operating systems feel the same way–at least from what I’ve gathered.
From guessing, I’d assume Windows takes 4-5 minutes to boot and be ready for use. To compare the two, Ubuntu takes 40 seconds–including mounting all my devices and launching whatever applications I’ve chosen to launch at start-up (applications such as Gaim, Skype and the like).
And a thing that earns a lot of points from me: the GUI is so much better and easier to theme.
Why don’t I delete Windows entirely then? I’m a designer, having worked in Photoshop for a long time, I can’t get a grip of the tools of the GIMP. I need to be able to design good-looking websites and graphics.
And, of course, games.
