Krishnan's weblog – an assortment of things. A scribble pad. A hybrid microblog. Mostly bread crumbs of an internet journey.
Few days before I could get my lazy self to actually try out WP MU, the WP community had decided to merge WP and WP MU. I was confused when I this found out. There still seems to be lot of confusion out there, different people giving different stories.

Clearly, there was ambiguity.
To MU or not to MU – that was the question.
I decided to MU anyway.
I tried out WP-MU on two domains and both worked perfectly except for a small issue with the install which was well documented already, here.
Wordpress MU is grabbing my attention now:
For noobs like me here are some tutes:
1. Installing on Godaddy
2. Differences between Wordpress and Wordpress mu
3. wpmu.org
4. Installing WP-MU on XAMPP
After one sleepless night, wpmu is running flawlessly on XAMPP…
I’ve done a lot of “weird” things to hear good music.
20 years ago
I played many songs on tape recorder and tweaked the equalizer to make it sound the best, created a code numbers based on equalizer settings and remembered codes for hundred of songs.
Placed my chin on the centreline of stereo speakers so that I can understand which sound comes from which angle.

I had to moved to portable devices as I didn’t have time a lot of time to spend at home for music and had to listen on the go. I adjusted a headphone so that it exactly to fit my head and glued it into position. I used that headphone for years.

Bought my first set of “working” noise cancelling head phones for a whopping Rs.8,000. It changed the way music sounded outside my house – in buses, railways stations and air ports, even when I’m sitting next to wings of a old styled plane propellers. After JBL reference 510, I can only see lip movements and voices of people dont spoil my music anymore.
Today
When I went for my evening walk today, I decided to carry the earphones which came with my ipod. I knew these phones were good, but I could never get them to stay in my ears even for a few minutes. Today, I placed a headband over my ears to prevent my earphones from slipping. It was a truly a cool hack, but it took my birdbrain so many years to figure this one out.
I ran and walked 5 kms, sweated a lot, but my head band soaked it all up and my ears and the earphones felt dry. The fit was so snug and the earphones were so light that it seemed that music was in the air. When oxygen entered my system after a few minutes of walking, it was a serious high!
The process of installing a cab file to a WM6 device is straight forward. Either using Active Sync (for XP users) or the new Windows Mobile Device Center(for Vista users), copy the cab file to your device. You can pick where you want to place it. I generally place it in MyDocuments or sometimes on my memory card. After copying the file over to your device, open the folder, highlight the file and either tap it with your stylus (Pocket PC Device) or hit the OK key (Smartphone) and it will begin the installation process. Follow the instructions that may appear (individual programs vary in what they may have you do). That’s it! Note: Some cab files are automatically deleted after installation and some are not. If it was NOT removed, you do not need to leave it on your device after it is installed. Depending on your memory needs, you may want to delete the cab file after installation if it was not removed. I generally do that and I keep a folder of all cab files in a directory on my PC in case I ever need to use them again.
“I will NOT be outworked. Period… You might have more talent than me,
you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be
all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. But if we get
on the treadmill together, there’s two things: Either you’re getting
off first, or I’m gonna die. It’s really that simple.”
