Ajay - On the Road called Life!

I upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.3 when it released last week and had a great deal of trouble trying to get things to work out here.
This is one major release of WordPress, that really requires you to check all your plugins.
Anyway, one of my favorite plugins is Flickr Photo Album, which allows me to [...]

As part of the OSHE program I talked about a few posts back, we had to visit an industry in Pune itself to study the safety measures they have in place.
My batch visited Forbes Marshall in Pune.
The place in around 40 minutes from SCMHRD and the bus ride was noisy (leave a bunch of [...]

Have been waiting a good deal and definitely didn’t expect it to land here so early, but as I mentioned my laptop arrived yesterday.
And as I was really anxious to get started on it, I called up Dell and asked them to send an engineer over today itself.
He came over and completed the installation and [...]

Several months back I popped a question to my readers… Flickr Pro or Gallery 2?. I got a good response with people pointing me to both sides.
For me the question remained unanswered until now.
Bye Bye Gallery 2
A month ago, I knocked off my photo album which was powered by Gallery 2. Gallery 2 is an [...]

My mother’s sister today celebrated 25 years of happily married life. Uncle had a bad attack of spondylitis around last week. Maybe God has plans and didn’t want a big celebration. So, they had a small get-together for only close family.
Got an opportunity to give my Nokia N73 a test drive. Have taken a decent [...]

And once again I get into the great dilema of deciding what do I use to run my photo album. The last time I was in a similar dilema was when I had to choose between Gallery2 or Coppermine.
I’ve always been toying with the idea of integrating the photo gallery within this blog itself. Everybody [...]

Received an email from Reno of Sho()ot My Blog.
I quote the purpose of his blog:
Take an original photo of my blog with your digital camera or mobile phone and send it to shootmyblogAThotmail.com. There’s only one requirement : your computer monitor or laptop (with my blog title/homepage visible on the screen) must appear somewhere in [...]

You may have already seen this, but I just received this via email, loved it and so the post.

If you look closely you will realize why this National Geographic picture (Week 4 of this issue) is so interesting. Click on the image to view its full size.

Have been meaning to this in quite a while. Had considered shifting over to Flickr to maintain my photo album, but the free service is very limited for me. Additionally I did not want to go in for a paid service because anyway I am spending a lot on hosting of my own.
Hence, I decided [...]

After a lot of deliberation, I finally decided to stick with my current photo album.
However, had changed the URL of the gallery however to AjayDSouza.info and also changed the theme.
And finally after many many months of no updates and after having lost a good amount of pictures during a recent hard-disk crash, I updated the [...]
