Welcome! Hope you have a wondeful year that is filled with happiness, fulfilled dreams and other such things. Not to mention more of my blog posts.
Ok so one of my new year's resolutions is going to be blog more. And the other seriously funny one is to be using Skype more often. Towards that end I seem to have somehow mastered the art of getting my Bluetooth headset (Nokia HS4W) working with my laptop (Sony Vaio, as of this writing) using a Belkin Bluetooth USB thingie (which works for up to 100 metres by the way). Its so wonderfully awesome once you get it working (after hours of frustration, cursing and generally draining the laptop battery - unless its plugged in to mains the bluetooth thingie can drain your battery in between blinks). Next up is trying out Skypeheadset which makes it really convenient to use Skype with the bluetooth headset because it supports stuff like call and mute using the headset buttons - just like a regular mobile phone! Ohhhh I love technology!!! :-)
I'm using the Performancing plugin for Firefox to write this blog by the way. Its a neat plugin that provides split screen view so you can use the browser while you type your blog post etc.
I just created a Yahoo 360 account and am trying to figure out what its all about. You can call this my "first signup of the year". But in general I think Blogger is much better when it comes to blogging than Yahoo 360.
Talking of firsts of the year - I already had my first call of the year and first SMS of the year.
For those of you who are wondering - I dumped Opera as my primary browser and am now back to Firefox (version 1.5 is so much more cooler and stabler). The number one reason being - plugins. I think all software should have plugin support. I believe the most important reason why Firefox is so popular is because you can extend its utility using so many plugins. The Firefox plugins (or extensions) I have installed right now are SessionSaver, Tabbrowser Preferences, LiveLines, FlashGot, PDF download, Add Bookmark here, Plain Text Links, Gmail Delete button, Disable XPI Install delay, SearchPluginHacks, Stop-or-Reload Button and ofcourse Performancing.
BTW here's a really cool gadget - its called the Snazio Net DVD Cinema and it allows you to wirelessly stream your digital media collections (mp3, wmv, DVD whatever) from your PC, laptop etc to your regular TV. That sounds exciting to me and I may get one soon.
OK I think that should be enough for the first blog post of the year. More later. Toodle-doo.
