Happy New Year! While I’m working on year-2011-in-review post, here’s a spam that I have being receiving quite a lot.

If you’re a regular reader ( and not reading this in a feed reader) you would have obviously noted a change in appearance of my blog. - It’s been a while since I last refreshed my blog . My World had been running on the absolutely gorgeous (well, IMO anyways) SoDelicious2 theme. I even had a mini “contest” to decide who would get the spots for the gallery links. So why the change then ?

While surfing through the web, I found this link: Who were you in your past Life? Here’s what it had to say about me Your past life diagnosis: I don’t know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern North China around the year 1000. Your profession was that of a builder of roads, bridges and docks.

Today I completed an anniversary of sorts - 1 year of registering at Chip India forums. Chip was the first site I visited soon as I got my BSNL broadband connection(yeah, a year ago), and was instantly hooked on, esp with “friendliness quotient” factor of the forums. I was on “lurk” state for a few days, and was overwhelmed - by the amount of knowledge these guys at forums had. Initially I couldn’t post a reply to many topics - since I didn’t know much about them, at all, although exception was anything regarding Linux, since I’ve been a Linux user for a bit, but then posts on Linux were few and far between.
