Taking a break!
Nov 13th
Atlast ..Exams are near. As i consider this as my last attempt and hoping that i’l clear my papers before leaving this college, i took a decision that i will make use of my brain now for exams.(Atleast i can try for it! ) . So i myself put a ban on using internet or even my PC for a month. Meanwhile, i ‘may’ post some entries if i am really bored with books. So bye for a month! 
Two blogs..One Life
Nov 3rd
As you all may have noticed this particular blog used to have several biking related posts in the past. Later I thought it would be better if I separate my biking and tech blog posts and decided to have two blogs . So I started www.IndianBikeNews.com. Surely its hard for me to maintain two blogs. But considering the ease of readers of two entirely different sectors , I still think its better to have two separate blogs . And since the IndianBikeNews.com hasn’t got much attention till now , I will continue posting Biking articles in BOTH BLOGS . I hope the techies and bikies will continue their support to me.

Messed Up with Bandwidth Limits!
Apr 7th
I got up at around 10 AM today 
.Nothing unusual as its my routine on holidays. I decided to skip breakfast as i was toooo tired (by sleeping?? ) to walk to the hotel.Ate some fruits , and came online. Being online till 3 am last night , i was sure that there will be nothing new for me there.But there was something….Something to keep me busy for the whole day.There was a mail from my webhoster saying that my bandwidth allocation for this month was almost over…Over?? Its 7th April and with 7 days i used up my 500MB Bandwidth limit??..Confused … Last month it was 200~250 mb for a whole 30days..and all of a sudden within 7 days ,…500MB! I contacted arun(from Sprite host) and told him about that.He too was a bit surprised to hear that.He checked with server stats and confirmed that its true. So how could a site with a few images and a blog use up 500mb in 7 days..Server stats didn’t recognised the hostname/IP from where that suspicious traffic came from, but it did log the usage as “Anonymous users”.So we assumed it as bot activity.He found 10360 requests for .jpg files from my site. ( i have some 10~20 jpg files in my site) So thats where my mbs are going.Bots!#$$$#$@!.. I have a robot.txt banning access to the bots from critical data.But i forgot to add my images folder to that list..
Ok..now blocked images folder also..But it will work only with branded bots..Like google or yahoo…If you are also being hit by many other ‘bots with no name or unfamiliar names, then you may need to use a stronger method, such as access blocks by IP address or user-agent.But my server didnt logged any ips for bots..So i have to tweak .htaccess file now.Not confident enough to do that..But somehow i have to …Else..Soon my blog will display a page “Bandwidth over limit .Site Blocked”
PS: I upgraded my plan from 500MB/month to 1GB / month….
My First post on WordPress!
Mar 1st
So atlast i got my domain ready.And this is my first post from wordpress dashboard.Comparing to blogspot , wordpress seems to be far better in customizing and tweaking. Any way blogspot is a good option for beginners as it doesnt cost u a host! Till now i had a painfull job of transferring all my post on blogger account to here.Eventhough wordpress have an option to import posts from blogger, it seems faulty…I got multiple posts of same content and it skipped some comments..Now its over and its running fine!
Its 5.30 am and seriously i need some sleep..i havent slept for 3 days in a row (I was earning by coding !! ) and i cant skip my class tommorow..So i am winding up my first post from wordpress.. cya ppl..
