Lazy Sunday

Now I know , why wasnt I blogging regularly in the past.The thing is I keep telling myself that I'll write the blog in the night and then i get so lazy that I eventually skip it. Same happened today. Came home at 11pm and then was feeling too lazy to write it.

Nothing special today, just that it was sunday which means i get to sleep more. Dad lets me sleep till 10am. But even after getting up late in the morning , I dint get enough sleep. I was the only one to be blamed for not getting enough sleep, because i slept at 3am in the night (or morning). What was I doing ? Was watching my fav X Files series. Yesterday I watched the season 2 finale. Mulder is trapped in the Box car with remains of dozens of aliens in New Mexico desert and army personel bomb the box car with Mulder in it. So what happened to Mulder? Obviously he cant be dead as he is the main hero and there are total 5 seasons of X Files. Normally , I would have played the next episode to find out the suspense. But this time I couldnt download season 3 in Advance. Its getting downloaded side by side as I type this blog. Still 50% to go AND with the torrent size of 8gb , it will take another 3 days to get downloaded. My internet connection provides me with a transfer rate of 25kbps. So basically no xfiles for next 3 days, which also means I might be sleeping early.

Today was friendship day because today is 1st Sunday of august. Actually I don't get this "days" funda. Be it fathers day. mothers day . friendship day , etc, etc. My point is why appreciate your friends just on this day ? Why not rest of the year ? I just received mail from Mufaddal and found out we both share same views. I guess not many must be knowing the real story behind frienship. Here it is. In 1935 USA government killed a man on 1st Saturday of August and next day i.e 1st Sunday of august, his best friend committed suicide in his memory. So US government declared 1st Sunday of august as friendship day . So its 72nd friendship day. Got it !!

Well my friendship day started at 12 mid night with a wonderful testimonial from a very special friend of mine and phone's inbox getting flooded with messages. Good that I had cleared my inbox. Next morning I found out that I had received messages from friends who hadn't been in contact with me for yearS. Yeah they just me message on friendship day. But then I thought, atleast they remembered me on this day. So I decided even I'll message my long lost friends on this day , so here I started messaging them. I guess I sent out around 50 messages today. Many replied asking how an i doing , etc. :)

I spent around 1 and half hours reading Akshay's Blog. It was fun to read, as he had written about KC days, SY, TY. I remembered KC, how terribly i am missing KC days. All the fun, masti, keedas we did in college. Wish i had started blogging then , so that I could have written about each and every day I spent with my friends in KC. Because each day was different. New zhols, new keedas. I should have maintained a diary of it. LOL.

After lunch i spent my time , try to upload my web project onto a web hosting site. I had created project on IPMS India , for those don't know about it, International Plastic Modelers Society, its got to do with aircraft models that i built. I wanted to do this for long. Site was ready , but i just wanted to make it live. I thought that my old website , Aircrafts Kits of IAF had started looking old and boring. That because, I had used googlepages to create that website. And problem is you can add your own code to it. You have choose from templates from Google and it was real headache to add new pages. It was excellent tool for people who had no knowledge about HTML , but not for us ( people who know HTML and other website designing tools). So i zeroed down on 110mb.com on which Akshay has hosted his website. So i created account , uploaded my website and within minutes my website was live. But then i found out 110mb doesn't support ASP and MS Access. And the important pages of my website is coded in ASP and the database in MS Access. So again i start searching for free web hosting site which supported MS Access and ASP. So i found webng.com which offered all this features. So i again I had to repeat the same 110mb procedure i.e register and upload. And again my site was live!! But this time, all my asp pages were working fine, and all pictures were being loaded from the Access Database. Yay. So after almost 4 hrs since i started searching for web domains , both my sites were live. You can check them out here. Site1 on webng.com with asp and access support and Site 2 on 110mb without asp support.

I've found out , this long blog posts seems real boring to read, no matter how interesting maybe the topic. Because I myself hate reading long blog posts. So from next time onwards ill try keeping them short and sweet. And i don't think ill be having enough time and energy to write long post during weekdays.

So Happy Friendship Day to All !! Cheers!!
