Brand new garb, same old crap
Check out the designer label at the bottom. Luckily I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for this template as Chugs is like Spiderman- helps the poor and hapless by spinning his web. Being a professional web-designer, I think he couldn’t deal with the eyesore and hence the gracious offer, which he came to later regret. He doesn’t like to be heaped with praises (found out the hard way), so I’ll spare him (and myself). But I was immensely surprised at his generosity as I had no clue of his existence. Need to hang out with more celebrities in future.
Now I see Chugs designs everywhere. It’s like when you get your new pair of Nikes, you start noticing other people with Nikes and think- hmm, his Nikes are better than mine! But when you get it for free, you wonder how much that sucker paid!
Chugs, you totally rock buddy! Thanks for putting up with me and my browser and blogdrive. I love this look, but I still see weird things like potbellied, bald guys on the header. The calendar keeps blinking with an eerie message saying- Your expiry date is fast approaching. People, if you see question marks randomly, please substitute with inverted commas, brackets, exclamation marks- whatever suits you...or contact Simon Singh. Next thing I know, Lynne Truss is going to call me and offer free classes (surprisingly it hasn't happened yet).
Ok Chugs, I’ll trust you when you say you can’t see the same problems and that I am going mental (meaning I lack aqueous humor)
Hey, if there are any magnanimous doctors, masseurs, eyebrow-threaders, drycleaners, cops, shrinks etc out there reading my blog, please drop in a note. I am open to charity.
Life is good.

| | |
| Rhyncus April 20, 2005 11:38 AM PDT It is your imagination. So much ado about orange, makes one feel Ukrainian. Almost. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 19, 2005 06:22 PM PDT cc: why didn't you tell me earlier? gabby: very close to a fancy meal at Burger King...If you click more, maybe I can take you along too. No need to thank me. rhyncus: do I detect sarcasm or is it just my imagination? Blue might get replaced by orange if I get blue very soon. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Rhyncus April 19, 2005 06:06 PM PDT Now that you've got denim background and all, the residual orange will also go soon? Just asking. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Gratisgab April 19, 2005 01:33 PM PDT Just feel like doing some bashing, Toinks is as good as any subject :) I have been clicking. Do you feel anything yet? (As in at least half way to fancy dinner?) | ||
| ||
| | |
| cc April 19, 2005 01:24 PM PDT Whoa, finally, awesome template, very easy on the eyes :), way to go! | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 19, 2005 01:18 PM PDT gabby, you have anything against Toinks? bechari usne tumara kya bigara? aar, my ray bans broke..hence this change. name: thanks for all these life-changing tips. What about having a full-time job? any money in that venture? | ||
| ||
| | |
| Name April 19, 2005 12:03 PM PDT Alpha, Another way for you to make money is to an id from amazon. When you have a link to any amazon book(or anything else that amazon sells), you append your id at the end of the URL. If someone uses that link to buy the product, you can get upto 10% commission on that product. Just another tip...I think I pointed you to google ads..:-) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Aaar April 19, 2005 11:21 AM PDT The strip on the top can be a bit more colourful... like the good old bright orange:-) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Gratisgab April 19, 2005 10:40 AM PDT I like the beating up idea.. me game alphu | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 19, 2005 10:23 AM PDT anumita: I thought of being of some help to you. Anyone offering hit-man/bouncer service? Please beat up Toinks for me. Pleo: The amount I went thru with your name changes..i guess this is very little to ask for. Star: sure sure...Why don't you melt those nenon orange condoms and paste them on the screen everytime you visit. yeverybody, I agree! Chugs says thanks. | ||
| ||
| | |
| star April 19, 2005 07:23 AM PDT Awesome template. Very neat, clean, tidy, simple lines and visually symmetrical. I kinda miss the horrific orange though. It represented you like no other good-looking color scheme ever will. | ||
| ||
| | |
| toinks April 19, 2005 04:30 AM PDT Such a nice warm template... except for those squiggly gooblydok in the centre... oh dats your posts... :p | ||
| ||
| | |
| anumita April 19, 2005 03:21 AM PDT What for you need free shrink? | ||
| ||
| | |
| Ramana April 19, 2005 02:47 AM PDT It's good. It's good. :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Payal April 19, 2005 02:03 AM PDT much better! | ||
| ||
| | |
| Heretic April 19, 2005 12:18 AM PDT All hail Chugs... fantastic job this! Somehow, Alphu, you seem deserving of this template. :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous April 19, 2005 12:04 AM PDT I kinda miss the alpha orange... | ||
| ||
| | |
| Ravages April 18, 2005 09:28 PM PDT Thank god, or the invisible pink unicorn, I dont see that "strike first ask questions later" garish orange anymore. Chugs, may you live a million redesigns more | ||
| ||
| | |
| Ash April 18, 2005 09:21 PM PDT Wow, this looks good ! Nice and clear and colorful :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Nag April 18, 2005 08:43 PM PDT Good to know it worked, but this might not always work with other browsers, like firefox. (Moral of the story you may still need chugs) | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 18, 2005 05:47 PM PDT Thanks Kushee, it was lot of hard work consenting. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Khushee April 18, 2005 05:44 PM PDT Nice! :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 18, 2005 05:42 PM PDT Thanks Nag. Yay! It worked..You rock too! Awesome.. You'll be my fall back option if Chugs decides to abandon me (he is on the verge of it). Maybe I should give you the choice. Zo: I'm overwhelmed. But your template..*yeesh* Trying hard not to be mean. Fillsu: I hope Nag's comment helps you too. Maybe not. I guess everyone is done with the blinding orange. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Nag April 18, 2005 05:11 PM PDT Alpha Until chugs fixes the problem of random question marks, just make a small change in your templet. search for <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> at the top of the template and replace charset=UTF-8 with charset=windows | ||

| | |
| Zoheb April 18, 2005 04:52 PM PDT Now that I have already left 4 comments here, I feel obliged to leave a 5th. A nice round figure. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Zoheb April 18, 2005 04:50 PM PDT Diaper coupons .... yes please. Always hated having to get up and leave in the middle of interesting conversations. Is that why you buy them too :-) | ||
| ||
| | |
| the fillerman April 18, 2005 04:46 PM PDT Go Gators indeed! Your orange is not the bliding gator orange yet. Also need the blinding blue to complement it.. the yin and the yang of college colors. Let me know if you figure out the annoying question mark thing. When we e-mail review comments to authors from our conference review system, the same crap happens. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Zoheb April 18, 2005 04:45 PM PDT My default choice was "stud". I cant help it if you go ga ga over orange. BTW, I was "inspired" to change the look of my blog because of all the upheavals on your blog. Check this http://www.blurty.com/customview.cgi?user=zoheb&styleid=118812 Too much studliness. You can stop drooling now. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Matrix April 18, 2005 04:41 PM PDT tu bhi or not tu bhi...that is the question (mark)! | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 18, 2005 04:38 PM PDT yes, I also saw coupons for diapers... you need? | ||
| ||
| | |
| Zoheb April 18, 2005 04:37 PM PDT Alpha !!! Your luck !!! Did you see the Google Ads for grocery coupons on your blog. Pi is going to have a mighty laugh when he sees this !! | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 18, 2005 04:36 PM PDT gabby: yeah. zo: Ok fine, make the punctuation changes and copy them over to your blog. You can take the puzzle pic too. Permission kab se poochne laga? After this experience, I can tell from a guy who knows how to fix templates (sorta) from a guy who picks default templates. Aur default bhi kya pick kiya..wah wah! | ||
| ||
| | |
| Zoheb April 18, 2005 04:14 PM PDT Ye ??? kya hai ye ???. See alpha u should have picked the template I designed specially for u. No ?? problems. And ya, blogdrives html has to be the most god awful mess. I personally experienced it. But finally I did manage to put that puzzle.jpg in place. But its gone now :-( I can offer to Rohan Pinto your stuff on my blog, if you want your posts copied elsewhere. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 18, 2005 03:59 PM PDT Patty: I knew it! I hadn't gone cuckoo!Please be my eye-witness! Matty: why are you asking me? I don't know myself. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Gratisgab April 18, 2005 03:59 PM PDT Nice, very nice. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Matrix April 18, 2005 03:19 PM PDT Main kahaan hoon? | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix April 18, 2005 02:55 PM PDT nice look...except for the irritating question marks. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 18, 2005 02:45 PM PDT Chugsie, I thought I was seeing white instead of the blinding orange. I am going mad! | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha April 18, 2005 02:44 PM PDT Go Gators! | ||
