Blogging on tumblr

I stumbled upon some tumblr powered blogs today and I was quite impressed. I’m of course among the later adopters of new Internet communication crazes. I’ve been late and slow to the blogging party and only recently started doing del.icio.us. Tumblr however seems to fit well with my mood these days. I’ve been reading a lot of different blogs and more news than ever both on the finance and politics side. I’ve been sharing and receiving articles from friends and colleagues via email but some of these I’d like to refer to later without having to write up a formal blog post like this one. As a result I’ve started tumbling at throughput.tumblr.com. I hope the communication is better.

The G4 is Gone! Long Live the Macbook Pro!

Today, I sold my old Powerbook G4 to someone else, bringing to the end my first Mac laptop in the modern (post Jobs’ return to Apple) era. This Mac was where I learned to program PHP and run MYSQL queries, where I first blogged and built my first production level website – www.nybap.org. It lasted for four and half years, much longer than I expected!

Fortunately, last week I purchased a new MacBook Pro 15 inch 2.4GHZ beast which will carry me forward!

Back to blogging

I’ve been neglecting my blogging over the past couple of months, not really for any good reason except that it was summer and I seemed to be invited to endless numbers of birthday parties, weddings, and general Bangladeshi American social events. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I imagine there will be less scope for constant parties so I can spare a few minutes to write a word or two.
