Shane from AskShane.org recently wrote 7 things about him and asked me to write this post [7 things about me]. Apparently he wants to know 7 things about me ! :)
Let me present it here, it is not in any particular order.
- I started writing a blog, without even knowing it is a blog, in 2002 at Xanga. In those days, I was just presenting some jokes and stuff to people. I even created a skin for Xanga and shared with other people at Xanga but now they do not have skins, they also moved to “Themes”.
- I do not consider myself as a Graphics designer and I did not learn any web design in college. In fact, none of my themes started in Photoshop. I am more of a CSS designer and whatever I have learned so far is by trial and error method and through some reading.
- I work as a software developer for the Microsoft.NET platform in my day job and none of my colleagues know what I am doing on the internet. It just takes a minute for them to do a google search on my name, but nobody did that so far.
- I am good at singing and I sing Tamil songs once in a while, most of the songs composed by the Maestro Ilayaraaja. I might do a singing podcast at my tamil blog on some day.
- I learned a lot of things over the internet and I try to share what I know, here and there.
-
The people that really irritate me are those people who take my themes and add their own links in the footer and release it from their site. wpthemegallery.com did that once and stopped after I shouted about it. blogstheme.com also did that recently but corrected itself after I sent them an email.
Other people that irritate me are those who rips off my theme, and claims it as their own.On any one of these occasions, I was absolutely stunned by the support I got from my site readers.
Even though they do not comment on my website often, I know there are enough people who are ready to fight for me. I am very glad to have secured such a nice group of people on my side. - I am starting to miss a lot of things we have enjoyed while in India, especially as my daughter is growing up here in the USA. I think I will go back to India in a few years to settle down.
Now I am supposed to ask 7 persons to continue this. I will ask any one of my silent readers [the ones who never commented on my site so far] to pick up this task and write 7 things about themselves and then link to this post.
Thanks.
