Krishnan's weblog – an assortment of things. A scribble pad. A hybrid microblog. Mostly bread crumbs of an internet journey.
I am beginning to like simple programs that pack a lot of power.
I’d mentioned TED notepad earlier.
Today I discovered two other great apps. The Foobar2000 player and ScribeFire.
Foobar2000 is my default music player within just one hour of its installation.
And, of course, I’m typing this on ScribeFire – which runs from within firefox.
These are two great apps which will now be permanent features on my PC.

One man cannot cause global warming. The globe is warmer now because over several decades , its people have continued to do things that have consumed energy. Cutting down unnecessary energy consumption is the first step to slow down the process. Here is a quick check list that applies in the Indian scenario.

Its been a long break from blogging.
Looking back I can see why.
It was a hectic month at office.
It took a lot of time to learn about all those gizmos purchased in the last couple of months.
I moved – all out – to Vista / Office 2007 at home. My only connection with Windows XP is my office PC, till such time its is upgraded as a part of the Vista roll-out. I struggled for Vista programs. Still dont have a decent freeware fire-wall or even a blog client. Wonder how other Vista users write their blogs !
Then there was a week long vacation.
Prakash was here.
Blogging, sadly, seems to be low in the list of my priorities of a zillion things to do.
No wonder the page rank slipped from 4 to 3. Not that I’m worried about it – but I’m just hoping to find more free time to write.
Learning Daily is a personal blog that is just as random as my thoughts. The navigation bar at the top and the search box may be the only things that will help you find something.
My present interests lie in sustainability, peak oil, debian, Web after 2.0, creativity and epistemology. I learn daily. I learn about everything under the sun and even those beyond it. I am a perpetual student whose believes that wisdom is the real reward for learning.
