  • .com to .org

    Today is another significant milestone for this blog. Effective today, this blog is served as a self hosted WordPress.org site that’s housed in one of the Bluehost’s servers somewhere in the ether. It’s a bit unfortunate that I had mistakenly registered my domain at WordPress.com without fully aware of the consequences and as a result

  • How to print labels using Microsoft Word

    Background So far the only printing I am versed with is plain vanilla printing on A4 paper. There are few variations like printing in colour or printing A3 sheets. But these variations are not drastically different to what I already know. Today I took charge to print some labels. I haven’t printed a label until

    To me iPhone 5C looks like an iPhone 5 in colored shells. iPhone 5S is really cool looking and power packed. Given I already have a 4 and 5 in the house, I am not going to put my limited funds on 5S. However I will most likely queue for next iPad which I believe

  • My home on the Internet.

    As somebody who is tech savvy and has a vested interest in internet, blogging and technology in general, I mulled over the idea of owning a custom domain for a number of years now. So the urge to do something about this has never been more intense, pushing me to finally act on it. I
