And now in 2015.

When I first started this blog, it was 2006, a time when posting anything interesting online was fun and colourful. And as far as I remember, there weren't any bookmarking-and-sharing sites then, like magnolia. Should check if that is still around. Oh, nope, they had a meltdown. http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/02/19/magnolia-data-is-gone-for-good/ Anyway, just stumbling across this old bookmarking site of mine was exciting, and I thought I'd revive it - just for old times sake. And still post up sites I find quite lovely. For starters, the last site I was on and spent time on was Alok Nanda's - http://aloknanda.com/
