Peace of Mind
The Blog Magister urges all of you, (in Madras) immediately, to head over to the Thiruvanmiyur Beach. (If you don’t know the place, you don’t deserve to go there, so screw you.)
Especially at 11 in the morning, Thiruvanmiyur beach is an absolute treat. Healing frayed nerves is its forte. And how! Waves lash your feet, as you reflect on the history of the city. (Or not, up-to you.)
Soft, loose sand makes for the purrfect bed. After a hard night of partying and work-shopping and staying up late-ing, Thiruvanmiyur is the place to go.
Almost Done
The Blog Magister’s soon gonna be the HTML Pro.
Well, I am almost done with the XHTML compliant coding, and tweaking templates to sit the way I want. There’s still some more to do, but it will happen over the weekend. I have got my CSS validated, as you can see in the sidebar.
In particular, I am looking to make the blog look and work the same way across IE, Firefox, Netscape, Opera and any other browser that’s out there.
Tips, anybody?
Ad hoc meets, and other such things
So you might have learnt about the Ad Hoc Madras Blogger’s meet.
Though the strength of Madras Bloggers was missing, we had enough of a people for a working Quorum.
Present for Madras were, in the order of geekiness, Lazy Geek, Bajji, Sat, (here things get a little muddled) Alpha/Deepak, Krithika, Chenthil, and finally, the butt of all jokes, yours truly. Present of course, for Singapore, and the reason of the said Bloggers meet, Chaaami, a.ka. Swaminathan.
A good time was had by all, especially Varun, the litte known god of Rain in Madras, and the un-named owner of the Shakes and Creams outlet.
Chandrachoodan’s star in the ascending
Suddenly, it seems, Chandrachoodan the preferred is going up, as against Chandrachoodan the bumbling fool.
Now, people and often, strangers, are taking interest in my life, and my career. Hopefully, there is a pot of gold at the end of this very flirtatious rainbow. Or a dozen.

Getting down to brass tacks
People, and friends, and well-wishers.
I, The Blog Magister, and HTML Hacker, am in the process of finally getting my template to work. In the process, with that stupid method called trial and error, I am trying to make my blog W3C HTML and CSS compliant.
There will be some viewing difficuties, over the next three or four days. I strongly recommend all of you to use FireFox to view my site. Right now, IE sucks big time displaying my blog the way I want it. Once I get my blog W3C certified, I will build in IE compatibility and Netscape/Opera too.
Till then, echoose The Blog Magister.
