Thoughts On Rails

I’ve been addicted to Twitter for past few months. Signed up during the early few days of twitter, but never happened to use it much - none of my friends were ready to spend 5 INR per text message (SMS) and send messages saying what they were doing at any given time.

Later, using twitter from the web became more common instead of costly messages… still no sign!

Then finally, after almost a year, there was a surge in Indian twitter users, and the place became chatty, twittery even! With the number of people rising, I too got involved in conversations… and before I knew it, I was looking forward to waking up early in the morning to catch up with all the tweets of the office-going tweeters on my list!! This was a drastic change in habit that *nothing* had been able to induce till date.

Peer pressure - no, nobody asked me to wake up. Eagerness to keep up with interesting people - absolutely yes!

Thank you Twitter for making me a early to bed early to rise geek! :-P Now I can enjoy the day and enjoy company of geeks at the same time!

Hey!

It seems updates to the Thoughts on Rails have stopped after April/August 2007… after being running for over 5 years. It was just changes in priorities for me that sparked a minor negligence, which led to further procrastination… and “since it was not oupdated in months anyway… why bother?” thoughts instead of the usual “this is cool, lemme share it with everybody!” enthusiasm.

I had also shifted attention to my photography-related blog, hence all the updates went there from August 2007 onwards. Now I have decided to bring this blog back, get it up and running and make it better than ever.

Hence the new domain name, thoughtsonrails.com - which to my surprise was available! - idea behind it - if I’m shelling out money for something, I’d better make good use of it ;-)

This is just the first phase - to get things started, now I have to set up a good workflow for blogging whether at home or on the move.

Cheers!
