This is cool!

Did I mention this before? The Widget I made has been featured in an article online ;-), and it’s not like just a simple and un-popular Web site but the heart of such stuff. I was quite happy to see it featured there :-D, it was mentioned in the Weekly Gadget Report of 11th Dec - 18th Dec, the best thing is it was available on Internet on 14th Dec, so it made place in the article in just 4 days!

Which is sort of cool for me ;) & I just checked out the downloads of the thing I made, here see it for your self, http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=670&LibID=34, it has got 2,369 downloads till then which is roughly like 100 downloads a day and it is damn cool and good for amateur like me! Man, I wish I had done better in exams last year and this too, I got Winter vacations, could have devoted full time to creating one of my own such things…I have to wait now.

I am kinda pissed off with what SPIDER (Pakistan’s Internet Magazine) has said about Windows Vista during 2005, it has been labelled “Disappointment of the Year”, and I have got a big problem with it, it was mentioned in December’s edition of SPIDER, I did not get time to read the magazine in December, I came across it 2 days ago and I was like what the HELL!!! It did improve through out the year and esp. when the last CTP build was released to testers it’s just rocking! SPIDER said it’s just sort of Windows XP with a little tweaked GUI…Idiots!!! I wish I had seen it before, I would have wrote them a big complaining letter about it.

Pissed off with something else too. There’s almost no reliable Online Payment Processor available for Pakistan, I mean like Paypal, they do not offer their services in Pakistan. The only options I am left is Storm Pay & e-Merchant accounts from Cyber Net + Citi Bank, but there’s no Citi Bank branch in my city + I bet their service charges will be something more than I can afford. I am still thinking about making money the HALAAL way. LOL. So if any body of you can help me please do :p. Right now I have to clear up a mess with my studies, I will think deeply about it later when this mess is cleared…*sigh*

Did Santa bring any thing for you people? Din’t bring any thing for me, I did not ask it for any thing though. I wish I were in USA, I would have rushed to Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas (is it the hub of gambling or something?) but anyways, I would have rushed there and attended it. There’s lot to see and experience, all about Computers, Electronics, Technology, Software and what not. I would have perhaps got a chance to see Bill Gates live delivering his ideas, could have seen live demos of Windows Vista being tested live for the folks, and man, if I had enough bucks, I think I would have returned with a truck full of electronics from this show ;-). Anyways, if I live and if I got enough resources, am specially going one day for this show insha’Allah, that is if my life allows me. I think I am copying someone’s blogging style but hey, I know that someone is not gonna mind :p. People, I need your comments not just dropping by!!! & hey, try to click on the Ads :p.
