To start writing a blog is my first step into the world of Web 2.0. I have finally (after a lot of deliberation and procrastinated plans) stepped into the flowery world of web 2.0. Well, I come from the Linux world, so this anything that doesn’t involve writing C code in ‘vi’ is flowery to me 
I am one of the fortunate ones (or unfortunate…maybe ??) who really didn’t have anything to do with web development related to the pre-web 2.0 era. I have currently started looking into the basics of web 2.0 programming. So most of my time these days goes in reading up and watching some video tutorials on .NET, AJAX , JavaScript, DOM blah blah… to be frank, just a month back I had no idea how it all worked, but today I am well up to speed with it. The only problem is that I haven’t really started coding as yet. Well, that won’t take much time. Getting up to speed with a syntax of a new language becomes really simple once you have coded in C and C++ for more than 2 years.
Anyway, to start blogging was my 1st step. To make my personal web site (and definitely not like the typical ones that you know as ’students’ homepages’ on any university/department website) This is one of the reasons why I say I am one of the fortunate ones. I never learned to make a site like that 
I would rather remain ‘homepageless’ than design a site like that.
Well, I took one little step towards it already. I registered a domain name of my last name form the Microsoft OfficeLive website for free! Well, it still holds the default webpage but I plan to change them very soon….
(Oh heck..i just remembered…it’s summer. This blog will remain incomplete until the end of summer …look out for the updated blog very soon)
