digg.com (Out of Service)

Originally uploaded by Dream.Chaser.

A screenshot of the page when digg.com was out of service for a while yesterday. Interesting it linked to some of the best blogs out there maintained by Industry Experts. A good page to show to users when your server is down for maintenance.

The site was back shortly in couple of minutes. But this was the first time I saw something which I stumbled across Digg!

“Digg will be down for a brief period, while we make some changes

While not digging, the dig crew recommends the following..”

Interesting Page huh.. ?

Try Again!

A forward I got via Orkut (Thanks Anand!)

This a lesson you should heed,
Try again;
If at first you don’t succeed,
Try again;
Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear,
Try again.

Once or twice though you should fail,
Try again;
If you would at last prevail,
Try again;
If we strive, ’tis no disgrace,
Though we do not win the race,
What should we do in that case,
Try again.

If you find your task is hard,
Try again;
Time will bring you your reward,
Try again;
All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, may not you?
Only keep this rule in view,
Try again!!

All in all, always “Try Again” and you always have a chance to Win sometime in your life ! Inspiring .. isn’t ?

Alright, here comes an interesting post (atleast for me :D). The world celebrated Holi-Festival of Colors yesterday and I don’t celebrate them much as was never used to it but I love to see people in colors.

I was browsing around Flickr to see how Holi has been for its users and interesting I came across some awesome collections of pictures which were holi related but rather cool to look out. Well not all of them were cool, each had its own expressions trying to convey something out.

The picture I have used on this post was my most favorite picture of the collections and I would suggest you check out the rest via the links provided here…

VV Joins the Blogosphere !

Voila! I have my college mate and most interestingly a Girl who has jump started into the World Wide Blogosphere ! Welcome “Darkend Dew Drops” aka VV aka Vidhya Venkatraman. Well this isn’t something new to her, she has been lately with Yahoo! 360’s blogging serivce but seriously that sucks a hell and now after a long break she has upgraded herself to Google’s Blogger service.

She is all excited about Blogspot’s ease of posting articles/posts compared to Yahoo! 360. She has started posting blogs from February 28th and check it out @ http://darkdewdrops.blogspot.com/ ! Looks Cool huh.. ? The blog is all about her college life, well atleast at this time thats the best part to write about. The expressions she has used in her blogs are truly amazing, atleast makes us Giggle before you see her finishing line in each post ending with “~* GigGlezzzzz *~“.

Lets all welcome her to the wondeful world of blogging! And hopefully I can expect more bloggiez (lol’s) in the near future….! Wake up ppl & Join the party… Apart from VV, my other mates who are into blogging are Arun Dayakar, Vignesh, Deepak and couple of others. Though not all of these dudes are active and neither me ! Atleast lets maintain Blogging as a hobbies or passion

Me off now! And fellow readers have a rocking Weekend .. Will be busy with my project works and my preparations for GRE !! Tough days ahead… and Great Future beneath it.

Cheers!!
