Upgrade :D

So here is the news of the event I have waited 1 year for – I finally got my upgrade and replaced my old junk of 256MB RAM with a brand new Hynix DDR 400MHz 1GB RAM stick.

Performance has gone up a lot, and I am able to benchmark several apps and several desktop environments more comfortably now. Most notably, I am using KDE 4.2 on archlinux (I ditched KDEmod, which is hardly different from KDE vanilla at the moment, for good till it becomes as strong as KDEmod 3.5.9).

Here is a pic for you:

Not the neatest, but I guess the comic strip explains that part more than anything else

Shifting To WordPress.com – GoodBye Blogger !

Today is the day I never expected to come. I have decided to shift to WordPress.com after lots of considering and reconsidering. Blogger is looking too weak for me to use. I want more pages, but I am not able to get them. I need to organise my content better and provide more features. But blogger can’t do much unless and until I edit css, while I am a css n00b. Hence, I decided to shift to wordpress atlast.

The Swordsman who fights with a Paper Sword – Me and My PC

Introduction

I think it will be safe for me to get slightly personal in this little post of mine. Here I am going to describe how my life, as a geek and power user, goes on everyday with this computer of mine, which means anything but power. All this because I was never really a geek once, I was just a semi-backward guy who turned geek out of his own actions.

How This Blog Came Up

Its a really long story indeed how this blog came up. I am a born writer, but blogging and website designing are completely different from “standard” writing. I am a guy who is used to posting tutorials and articles on different forums. I have no idea how to use HTML. T have a spare blogger blog now, which was my first blog and it was a huge mess. After it, I used to experiment with some websites like freewebs.com and googlepages before. Nothing turned out right. I considered getting myself paid web hosting. I also considered a wordpress blog. But finally, I am back to blogger for good and I intend to stay.

Edit: Hey, I just moved to WordPress… DeJaVu ?

Then comes the blog’s name. I thought many different names, but none could reach close to the current one, which flashed into my mind by chance. The Smaller Bang. Sweet. Most of what I post in here are intended to help and make a bang. But not as big as the big bang. So that’s it, the smaller bang. I initially considered the bigger bang, but neither was it modest enough nor was it available.

So whats in such a first step ? Well, nothing really. Its just that some things take time to happen, and despite looking rather simple, can be immensely complex. Very well, let me resume blogging.
