First, let me tell you what let me to find this out. About what this is, you’ll soon know.
My friend borrowed my laptop, to try out OS codes for her OS lab examination. When she returned the laptop after a couple of days, I noticed that, my Desktop had moved! Yes, instead of the normal /home/jithinkr/Desktop/ it was now pointing to /home/jithinkr/Codes/Desktop/!
I tried moving the Desktop back to where it was supposed to be, but in my attempts, I ended up deleting all the files I had on my Desktop! Well, that indeed was a big loss, because I had forgotten what all files were there on my desktop. (Though the shell and the locate command came in handy to remind me what those files where. Wish I knew some way to recover them. 
).
Now my Desktop was pointing to /home/jithinkr and hence all the Documents, Pictures and Videos folders were being displayed on the Desktop.
Howdy!
So am back after a really long time, dusting my blog out of the dust. Glad to see, there have been visitors to Open Thoughts, even though I wasn’t updating. Well, can’t be lazy anymore, and I am back. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Every now and then I post something like this saying that this blog has returned, and then I go back to hibernation. So something solid this time.
I was seeking something new to blog about, something I am doing actively. I wasn’t blogging very active, nor was I keeping up with Online developments and news. Blogging about stuff I wasn’t sure about is a bad idea.
So I come now, with Python, which I find really a cool way to learn programing. It is just easy, like Plain English! (Python is a programming language like C/C++)
And django. For web developing fanatics, Django saves time. For the curious, Django is a web development framework, that lets you develop apps really fast!
See ya around!
2009 saw lot of new, useful and innovative products that resulted out of simple human dreams. The creators saw what the present [and the future] generation needed the most and put their ideas on the design table. We saw the release of several OSes by computing giants this year. Includes Windows 7, Google Chrome OS and Mac Snow Leopard. I am not including Ubuntu 9.10, because I believe that the October 2010 release of Ubuntu shall defy all standards.
Because Google has been foraying into several new fields and many of my friends are Google fanatics, they asked me if it is OK to switch to Google Chrome OS.
My answer, “It ain’t the time”.
What the cloud has to offer as is software and even hardware as a service and over the internet. It offers to provide software and hardware as a pay by use model rather than permanently investing on it.
Yes, for people in countries like India it is not the right time to move onto Google Chrome OS. The most important reason for this belief of mine is the fact that Chrome OS is dependent on the cloud. read more…
The final few months of 2009 wasn’t good for my blog. Readership and Viewer-ship simply fell. The last week, nobody visited my blog. Yes zero visitors.
I would love to add the statistics graph to show you, but at the moment I am short of photo manipulating images (or I don’t know what to use on this computer I am using.)
And I came to know of all this because I installed WordPress Stats. Yeah, it wasn’t there by default, had to install it manually.
But because I installed it I came to know of several other fancy stuffs.
One was this blog’s birth. I had totally forgotten that, I started blogging in this domain in April 2009. I have been active in the blog-o-sphere for quite some time. I used to blog at Novice Investigator.
I visited my old blog’s dashboard. Startled to see, that blog got greater number of viewers than this current one. 
Content indeed is king.
Another thing I noticed was the “Busiest Day”. 316 viewers and it was on my Birthday! Surprise Surprise!
I had viewership between 1000 and 1500 during July, August and September. The time when I was blogging actively. Should have stuck to it.
Enough of what has passed. It will soon be a new year. With the new year comes new resolutions!
My first resolution for 2010 is that I will manage my time well and use it productively. I have returned, with a determination, to blog.
Happy Holidays!
