I am a geek. At least my friends think so….

Got nothing worthwhile to do. So thought of writing a off topic post. Here are 5 reasons why I am a geek according to my friends. Get ready for the laugh riot…

1. I use Linux - And 90% of my friends cannot find the head or tail of Linux ( They search for C:\, D:\ … ) and proclaim that Linux is only for geeks like me.
2. My Windows XP desktop never looks like one - Somebody explain them that there are cool visual styles and icon patchers available for Windows.
3. My music files have Album Art - What a big thing ! One says, OMG look music files contain pictures.
4. I use Mozilla Firefox - Nothing to say here.
5. I can install Linux myself - Big deal ? Huh!

BTW, this list can go on and on … Do your friends call you a geek ?

Okay that is a bad post title. But that should do.

Now that I have got this blog up and running, it is time to thank some people and websites who helped/forced me to shift from free Blogger to Wordpress on my own domain. So here goes thanks to,

1. Ashwin for helping me buy the domain.
2. Ashish for booking the domain and sponsoring the hosting.
3. Blogger for frustrating me time & again.
4. Zeeblo for teaching me I should not host on free servers and take regular back ups.

Welcome to ManasT.com. My fourth blog, since I started blogging. Here is a little flashback.

The History

As with any newbie, I chose Blogger as my first blogging platform. Frustrated with the shortcomings and the spam comments, I shifted to Zeeblo with a free hosting account and installed Wordpress on it. I loved Wordpress but my happiness was short lived. Zeeblo went down and took my blog and all the content with it. Sigh, I should have taken a back-up. At the same time, Blogger went into Beta and I went back to Blogger for the time being. But Wordpress is the king nevertheless. So I am back on Wordpress now with my own domain. And it feels great to be back.

Tasks In The Pipeline

1. New Theme - Watch out for the new theme. The new theme is now in place. Don’t forget to give your opinion on the theme.
2. Install Plugins - The beauty of Wordpress, a plugin for everything (well almost).
3. Tweak the sidebar - Got to get the sidebar into order.
4. Post - Can’t ignore this, can I ? Got to post in this blog.
