This site has retained this template for a long long time now. Well, it’s time for a change and I’m keen to do so asap.

And, who best to ask that all my loyal readers. So, what would you like to see. What color combination would you prefer? A dark font on light background or a light font on dark background?

What about colors? Greys, blues, greens or…?

Do you have any themes in mind that I may use as a base?

What features would you like to see on this blog?

Am open to all kinds of suggestions. So please keep them coming. I hope to get the changes in place over the course of the next month.

After numerous discussions with our vendor and after tonnes of days (and nights) spent by Ravi and me, we finally released the redesigned www.scmhrd.edu on early 4th morning.

Check out the Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development website.

This is just the beginning and we have a long long way to go to make it just the way as we want it… perfect!

Would love to receive feedback on the design etc. Other than major colour changes (which I can’t do) please do let me know what you find lacking in the site.

It’s been almost a month since my last post. And it just goes to show how tied up MBA life has kept me. Based on feedback from seniors this is going to be the case for atleast another two or so months.

A lot has happened since then, and I’ll just be summarizing a few of the main events in this post.

To begin with, we had our foundation course exams. Principles of Management is a sure flunk, and that’s the case of most of the batch.

My maths paper ended up with hundreds of silly mistakes and clearing this seems to be a bleak possibility.

The financial accounting paper was an objective one of which we got the results the same day. Passed!

The other papers seems to be a case of pass as of now, so lets see how that goes. Results are out any of these days.

Now this deserved a blog post a long long time back, but well here goes.

For a few who know, I started out in the field of web design with a site on Sherlock Holmes. This was way back in 2000.

Over the years, this website underwent several transformations and names.

All the time it steadily rose the ranks of Sherlock Holmes websites and today is at the very top of the charts at Sherlock Holmes Web and has been there since early 2004.

Early this year I got together with Melody to give the site a much needed revamp.

And revamp indeed. Got rid of an ancient frames design and designed a tableless CSS design. Have put up all the original content, and there is a lot more to be added gradually.

In addition also started a new TopSites for all mystery related sites. Well, the only site in it today is mine, but if you are run a similar mystery related site do join our topsites.

Also generated a Google Sitemap (more on this in an article I plan to write) and redirected all the .html pages to the .php equivalents (had ported the site from HTML to PHP to save bandwidth and make it dynamic)

Ohh, btw the URL is http://sirconandoyle.com/

So what do you think about the site?

Ended up late in office yesterday because of a discussion on whom to handover the projects I am working and have worked on.

Only once the handover is complete, will I be able to leave.

That seems normal, except that hardware just refuses to work!

Sometimes I guess life as a software designer would be a lot easier. Atleast I know that when something isn’t working as it is, then most probably it is a logic problem.

Here, after verifying all the firmware and logic the damn hardware fails!

At this rate, I really wonder when I am going to finish the handovers (
