I shared a brief update while going on vacation. The comments captured discussions about improving my blog's sidebar layout, finding copies of Richard Feynman's books, and dealing with office web filters blocking the site.
I posted a brief status update during the July 7, 2005 London bombings to confirm my safety as reports of explosions emerged. The discussion quickly shifted to community members sharing resources for free e-books and BitTorrent clients.
I catalog my essential software inventory for new laptop setups, featuring tools like ActivePerl, WinAmp, and NoteTab Light. I also weigh my preference for tools like Firefox and MSN Messenger against those I choose to skip.
I am taking a vacation and won't be updating the site until June 20, 2002. I am setting aside my regular writing schedule for a few weeks to enjoy some time off before resuming my typical posting frequency.
I shared Petals Around the Rose, a classic dice-rolling riddle where players must deduce the secret rule for calculating totals. The name provides the crucial hint, though Bill Gates reportedly solved it through brute-force memorization.
I’ve updated my Calvin and Hobbes index to cover strips through June 1990. I'm manually transcribing the comics into a searchable text database to help fans locate specific strips by their dialogue and themes.

True, Bharani. I’ve been thinking the same. Am planning some changes, and will have them online by mid-May.

Anand, One suggestion is that you could have the comments below the main post, instead of right hand side of the post.

I work for Dell and they seem to have blocked your weblog!! Any clues why?

Or if you dont have a server outside that you can use, try searching on Google for something called JAP (Java Anonymity and Proxy)
