Revenge of the nerds
Web 2.0 – the so called technological achievement of the early part of this century brought up a significantly noticeable perceptual improvements to the world wide web. It is not without drawbacks and of course, I put the word perceptual there intentionally. With this technology under the belt, wordpress did an amazing job of migrating(upgrading!? perhaps it was downgrading) their admin console to web 2.0. And incidentally, that new admin page had tonnes of Javascript references. In a country like India where broadband is still narrowband and also super expensive, the console took about 2 minutes to come up. I gave up blogging for sometime.
This is my first blog post from a desktop blogging software called “Drivel” (had to hunt around to find one running on linux). I don’t think this post will turn out pretty bad. If its just possible to get the message without all those glitzy formatting gimmicks, why bother to fiddle with Rich text editor that takes forever to load.
