Me...nostalgic???? Sounds impossible right?

Me, victimized.
And i had always assumed that i have no chances of remembering that place which everyone used to call "Engg. College".
Guess i am human cos i had this sudden rememberance, of college. or to be more exact, the time in college.
Hm, <day-dreaming>. The fun we had, the various ways in which i screwed up my life, etc. etc. And you know what, I would'nt mind going thru it all over again. (as long as the studying did not come into the picture). Anyway I used to assume that MIT was the only place where you can screw up your life. That was until yesterday. Friends (highly) recommended to me the book "Five point someone -- Chetan Bhagat". Now I realize, you can screw up even in IIT.
Yup, the book's good. I even remembered our lecturers. Wont get into detail, as i don't want to mention all the negatives that i thought about. But i do still remember them. I remember all the class mates who used to screw up their life by studying day in and day out, with things they are not using now and are of course outdated enough not to be used in the future. And of course the things they missed out which they can never do again, the booze, the fags, the whatever..... and whatever. Yup, I can train my kid to be a great kid :D

The best part about the whole story is i dont even use what i did not study that time :D. So i guess i did not miss anything.

Signing off, before readers shed tears over their memories.

Theming in Whidbey using CSS

Continuing my blog titled Themes in Whidbey . I would like to mention some great points I did find out today about Whidbey featrures. How many times have you got sick of developing Sites which have themes???? I mean every page u create has to have, maybe in ASP, something like <link href="<%=Session["ThemeFile"]%>.css"/> I have been doing since a long time. Do mention if you have a simpler method of defining a variable CSS for your page!!! Whidbey simplifies this further. Now in ASP.NET, all you will have to do is Create Themes directory, if not aldready present, Create a directory for each theme required, maybe Black, Gray,etc. Dump your CSS files into this directory. in Page_PreInit method define the Theme as Page.Theme="<Theme directory Name>". Further can be made into Page.Theme=(string)Session["ThemeType"] and viola, your theme management is take care by ASP.NET When you want to change the theme, the...

My first problem with AJAX

I was using Callback (AJAX) to retrieve a page i had developed . Lets start all over, I was using AJAX to retrieve a part of the contents of a web page. Cool, simple, it downloaded without a pain, then I innerHTMLed it to a span tag. Worked fine, successful, clapped my hands etc.etc. Clicked on the button which had seemed to appear out of nowhere. And then, it all fell apart. The feared exclamatory symbol appeared on the status bar.... And for the newbies, thats an indication of a JavaScript error in IE. Of course, as usual i was all curses at my IE window......Anyway to make a long story short (i AM quite sleepy u know). the scripts which i seemed to be innerHTMLing to the span tag are not executed. And what i mean is anything between the script tags which have been innerHTMLed to that span tag are not executed. Of course i can see a ray of hope in the distance. I mean the distance till tomorrow morning. And just for kicks, check out a hi-fundoo flash file titled EPIC 2004 . And for...
