Ajay - On the Road called Life!

Sunday was the last of the AIMCATs and I was a bit apprehensive about the same. The AIMCAT was “decent” but as usual I missed the cutoff in Quant by a mark. Managed an 89.8 percentile which is definitely better than last week’s.
Went for the Sunday evening mass. Thankfully it was dragged.
Monday and Wednesday was [...]

Following Thilak’s results, I installed Peter’s Custom Anti-Spam Image Plugin for Wordpress to test.
I’m much against the idea of using Captcha for my blog, because of the problems with accessibility. However, of late I have been getting a lot of spam.
Even though Bad Behavior has blocked 10000+ access attempts in the last seven days, a [...]

Seems like I seem to be boasting about my blog the past few days. Well, I have reason to
I wrote about being No. 2 on Sitescore about two weeks back.
Since then I hovered around 2-4. Today I was genuinely shocked and extremely delighted to see ajaydsouza.com at No. 1!
As usual, saved a screenshot for [...]

Since the release of my two plugins in the past two days, my site has seen a good traffic surge. Unforunately, neither of these have been dugg or redditted so far so it’s not that much.

As usual [...]

With the high volume of downloads that I received today the file got corrupted and as a result the downloads gave an ID error.
I’ve restored a backup, which means unfortunately I lost a lot of counts
Anyway, it should [...]

I have just updated my Open Picture Window Plugin for WordPress.
The only update is the much requested Quick Tags button.
The plugin still doesn’t have a button for the WYSIWYG editor. I’m still working on that. Turns out to be a bit more complex that I was expected.
Anyway, if you are not using the WYSIWYG then [...]

Today was eventful, in the sense that I finished the application work of two more colleges, viz. NITIE and MDI.
I still another 4-5 colleges left to apply to which should be done by next week.
Before that met up with pals in Powai. We intended to go to Pizza Hut, but dropped the idea because of [...]
