Been a while since Melody Tagged Me.

I don’t really know why I am doing this, because I’m not much of the book buyer / reader.

Well here goes:
Total number of books I own – Not many and I haven’t counted lately

The last book I bought – “Who Moved my Cheese” by Dr. Spencer Johnson

Last book I read – “Who Moved my Cheese”.

Five Books that mean a lot to me…
Don’t really have any books that mean a lot to me, so I will just list my five favorite books.

1. Prey by Michael Crichton
2. Jurassic Park by Micael Crichton
3. Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz
4. The Lord of the Rings by J. R. Tolkein
5. Timeline by Michael Crichton

And now to pass it on…..

Passed it on: Gautam and Shreyas

WordPress 1.5.1.3 was released yesterday and have upgraded both mine as well as Melody’s blog to the latest version.

It fixes an important security issue.

Mesopia – the place where I host ran a contest during May.

Participants had to write one or more helpful articles and post it in their How-To Approval forum.

Didn’t bother much, but on the last day of the contest I posted these three articles.

• Backing Up your mySQL Database
• Uploading your website with cPanel’s File Manager
• Designing your website with XHTML and CSS

Had to wait for nearly 27 days before they announced the results. To my great joy I was the Runner-Up.

Had the choice of a hosting account of a service credit for $47.40. Chose the latter as now I can renew my account for more that a year

As for the articles, will soon make them part of WebberZone Tutorials.

Awoke early on Sunday morning to reach church in time. Mass was good.

After this, since the net was down, I just lazed around and did a little preparation for my formation course.

Reached well in time for the course. Today was the last day.

After the course I went over to Melody’s house in order to do the office work that I had to submit by Monday.

After this we went to watch Beauty, Brains and Personality at St. Andrew’s Auditorium

Following a link from geek ramblings, I gave the online blogging survey conducted by the Media Lab at MIT.

Quite a short but comprehensive survey on blogging, im, email and sms (few questions on the latter three)

Well, I’m a statistic, so how about you?

Returned home on Saturday hoping to get some office work done, which I had to submit by Monday.
Unfortunately, found that my internet connection was down.

Phoned, heard the usual excuse, but didn’t have much time as I had to rush for choir practice.

Practice was good. A. Shirley gave her treat on the occasion of the marriage of her son.

Got home and watched a movie running on TV. Went of to bed rather late as a result.

Was woken up around 7am by Madam C, with whom I planned to spend the whole of the day
