Merry Christmas!
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Events, Friends
For the first time, in quite a long while I managed to see a White Christmas, in the 11 Christmas’ I’ve seen in Canada, only 2 or 3 have been white. That too, they were mostly all in the first couple of years.
My Christmas news is:
- Andrew’s back from Carleton but I’m sure the break will go by too fast to really enjoy it.
- The 540 site design is more or less done, now it’s just a matter of content, oh and actually getting the “people in high places” to notice it.
- My business is starting to really take off, and I expect to see some very solid results by the end of Jan - infact 2008 is promising to be an excellent year, can’t wait.
- Caught up on 2 old time nerdy movies, Blade Runner & Hackers.
I found Blade Runner to be a much better book than a movie, as it went a tad slow for me. But Hackers on the other hand, I saw it and went “Wow why have I not seen this before”. The movie is full of all the 1990’s stereotypes about computer nerds/hackers, which I love for their naive humour.
I learnt two things out of Hackers, thank god for cable modems, and the demise of the 28kbps world. And that I hope to heaven that your password isnt still “god”.

Well as the initial excitement of starting yet another site has worn off, my posts have slowed down considerably.
But fret not, for I will still be around from time to time with a brief window into my world.
Currently I’m experimenting with Drupal:
Drupal (pronounced /ˈdruːpəl/) is a free and open source modular content management system (CMS) written in the programming language PHP. A CMS is a tool used by Web administrators to automatically track online visitors and prepare customized content for consumption, usually as HTML-based Web pages. Drupal, like many modern CMSs, allows the system administrator to customize the content and display of the Web site with little or no programming.

So as you can see, lots of promise.
I hope to build an online interactive identity for my local Air Cadet Squadron, but it will probably take me a month to build a complete site.
