What I Have Been Busy With (and Some Real Blogging)
Posted on 25 Aug 2007 under Journal/Life Updates, Site Designing
Only 1 post in this August! WOAH! I know I blog too less, but that’s way too less. So, what have I been up to? 2 things, mostly…
- The new design for Gurdit.com : Yes, it’s coming! Just like I promised! (I did promise, I hope?) . It’s a simple, clean, blue and grey design. I’ll probably change the header image, though… the phoenix on there right now looks a bit like a peacock, like Jesal said…
- Internal exams at college : We had our first internal exams this week. I did them quite well. I’ve got the marks for 5 out of the 6 subjects. I’ll post the marks after I get the marks for the 6th subject.
So, in a couple of days, I hope, you will be seeing a whole new Gurdit.com. 
Now, how about some real blogging:
I’ve been noticing how sometimes we’re afraid of changing or think that that particular change is something beyond our capability, and then when it becomes necessary to change, you just do it so easily and calmly. For instance, I managed to get away from the computer and study for these internal tests in my room. Of course, it helped that I actually got down to cleaning the junk off my old computer table and positioning it in a nice corner of the room to use as a computer table. Having a place to sit and study does motivate you quite a bit to actually use it. 
I’ve also made up my mind about one more thing… I don’t want to mention it in detail here, but I will see if I’m able to stick with my decision, or if I’m able to change into what I’m trying to change into, which is basically what I used to be before I changed into what I am now, which is something I don’t particularly like. (If you didn’t understand that sentence, I urge you to read it again a couple of times, because quite uncharacteristically of my long sentences, that one does make sense! )
By the way, the internal exams got done today, officially (descriptive and online). This means I officially have a couple of weeks of holidays, but I expect the first week will be taken up by the workshop on Embedded Systems that I signed up for… oh well…
I propose the ultimate design for Gurdit.com:
- How you designed your textbox :p
I love the new design! It’s clear, not cluttered, the colours seem to match well together, the text is easy to read and the whole website has the same design/theme. Thumbs up!
The ads would most likely get more clicks positioned beneath the title. But doing that might interfere with the design and have other disadvantages.
I’m just waiting to hit 100$ on Adsense, and then I’ll remove the ads completely… Close to around 85$ right now.
