Blogging with scribefire

Recently i was going through some blogs which were mentioning about various online blog sites being available. I wanted to try out one of these and ended up with Scribefire.

My previous blogging experience was with Windows Livewriter. It was a good tool to compile my blogs offline and publish them with any date i wanted to and was a nice experience.

I was also fascinated to try out one of the suggested online blogging tool and ended up choosing scribefire. Well for very obvious reasons like the reviews and comments i read for the blog saying scribefire is WYSIWYG (well well for those of you like me who have encountered this acronym for the first time let me explain this as "What You See Is What You Get").

Well this is my first blog using scribefire. I am no pro in mentioning how good this blog editor is and stuff. But I can definitely say onething this is amazing. Why cause this is an in browser editor, so you want to start blogging you dont have to hunt for where the application is present, it gives you what tools you need to add any of the attachments you want to add to make your blog look jazzy and stuff like that. Also it allows you to add multiple blogs to your account so that you can publish to multiple blogs at the same time ( i have still not tried this setting).

It allows you to add ads to your site very easily and allows you to choose where you want to add them. On the whole i really like my first experience and hope to use it further.

I just now tried to add a photo and it does not look like its working. na...

I would be experimenting with one more browser before picking my favorite blog editor. Hope to write soon..Technorati Tags: scribefire, blogeditor

weekend blog

hmm.. boring, jobless, confused weekend. did not know what i wnated to do. Yesterday had some nice time. My frnds from IIT, my hostel mates said we should meet and we decided to have a coffee at Cafe Coffee day 75 kms from my place. i took bike from my friend Arun and met my friends near the BTM signal. From there we started our ride to the CCD, to which i had already been on couple of occassion both at night time.

It was different to go this time during evening time. I just finished my lunch when my friends said we would go there. We started by around 4 and were there by 6 kinda thing. Traffic was heavy and we had some trouble in the beginning. But it was nice. We had a general discussion on how things were got to know my frnd Bhaiya was shifting from his current company to Target.

In this time of uncertainity my frnd has taken a bold day to shift. Well well i wish him good luck.. We started from CCD back at 6 :15 kinda. I had by the way while going up touched 100 kmph couple of times. It was fun to reach 100 kmph when i was alone on the bike. It was apache and i was looking to go beyond 100 kmph but quite did not have the nerve. Well anyways, the trip up was nice.

WHile coming down it was nearly night and the lights from the fellow bikes were quite disturbing. I did kinda 50 kms without a break in kinda 1 hour. on the whole it was nice. From bangalore to touch the mysore road now it has become quite troublesome. There is road repair going on becoz of which while coming down and going up we had some trouble

After coming back, my friends asked me to suggest a place to eat and we ended up having dinner at Wangs kitchen. This is another chinese restaurant i had visited that i think i never get bored of. The other one being the one near marathali.

After having dinner, while en route we decided to pay visit to my newly married frnds place Chintu. He was having some nice drinks and footer was on between Liverpool vs Hull, and we had some nice fun..

After reaching home i was watching Scarface which i started in the afternoon. Al paccino was good like always. later started watching how i met your mother. 4 episodes of this series straight was good. Barney was good like always.

Wel thats how my saturday ended anyways..

Indian Media

Indian media was infamous for the kind of reporting they do. I mean they would report loss of dog of a politician as breaking news. It would be famous for this kind of reporting. But in the recent terrorist attack on Mumbai the way the media, especially NDTV, Times Now, CNN-IBN handled the reporting was too commendable.

When we make fun of the media when it is not doing good, we should also praise when they handle it well. There is a war going now in my room so i am not being able to concentrate on the blog will complete it later.

Hyderabad Shooting

Hm...

While the world is worried about the Mumbai blasts, and rightly so, in Hyderabad today police go to arrest a well known accused. Will Indian police ever learn?? i mean in Mumbai last week, exactly one week before, terrorists turned up with AK series while our constables were not even equipped with automatics, and today they go without any weapons and what do they end up with, injuries. I mean is it not common sense that these people whom the police were going to arrest at least would carry country made pistols??

I mean is this common sense not so common?? Go to any police station to report loss of bike and Police would be giving tips on how to keep things safe. They would tell how to be safe on roads and all. So what were these guys doing when going to apprehend a well known criminal known to be having good contacts with terrorists, going without any protection if not any weapons?? When would we be learning from our mistakes? Will we ever learn from the mistakes already committed?

Look at what the media of AP is projecting this news as, trying to make it an issue among religions. It is implicitly known that some parts of hyderabad city have too many anti-social elements and it is not going to be easy visiting those places and maintaining law and order in those places. Instead if the government were really serious about arresting the anti-social elements, they should start weeding any person not a citizen of India. I mean I am sure there are people living there without visa in these areas.

Weeding operations in Hyderabad should start. But will the Governement be able to do it now?? I mean elections just round the corner will the government be able to take such a bold step??

Is anybody listening? I do not think so.
