Saying a lot, saying a little… who cares?
partial -> full
i’ve jumped.
from half to full.
i’m not talking about cups. or bandwagons. or jacks. or pogo-sticks. or any other random association you might make.
the fact that you’re reading this sentence in your reader, should give you a clue.
i’ve read more than a few posts, such as this, and this, this, this, this, this, this [i assume you get the idea now]; all of which play devils advocate on the topic of partial RSS vs full RSS feeds. you have those who prefer to have a summary so they can decide, those who believe some kind of freedom is being affected, talk about the possibility of spamming, and those who talk of advertising advantages. now, i personally don’t mind clicking through on a partial feed (especially given a fx extension that lets me do it in reader direct), and more than a few spammy pings convinced me a few years ago to switch into partial feeds as well. recently, i have even started putting in custom summaries [see how much i love you guys?].
i do mind having my content stolen by spammers [eg: right here].. even if only a few people read it in the first place
but, i’m going to suck it up, and no, this is not because i read a lot of posts about how people don’t read partial feeds as much. at all.
i have currently enabled full feeds for everything in this blog, if you do a ‘refresh’ in reader for my feed, you should see it take effect. this is not a momentous occasion, though i’m trying my best to make it feel like one
man, do i make a big hoo-ha about the most random of things..
update: “random of things”?! and not one of you said a thing? damn, damn, damn, damn..

pulling things off the back-burner
about 1 month ago - 1 comment
I’ve mentioned the general tendency for things to remain in ‘Drafts’ for way too long around here. Take for example, my deconstruction of ‘Raavan’ vis-a-vis ‘Raajneeti’.. which was started on 2 weeks ago. And has yet to see the light of day. I don’t think it ever will now. I can only wonder about what

I’ve jumped in headfirst. Tweeting. Left, right and center. Yessirree Bob. Yada yada yada. Srsly. And now to repeat things I’ve heard before (for eons) but which have dawned on me as actually making a lot of sense. So yes, this post might be a bit dated for some of you. At first, I assumed

For a change, I decided to jot down the thoughts that were coming to me while I waded through month-old Reader items. Warning: It gets pretty long. [Yes, I actually have a set of Reader items that I ensure I catch up with daily, and another set that I’m sure I will always be behind

Google’s latest experiment – Buzz – has been launched to the world recently, with varying degrees of appreciation, hate, irritation and all the reactions that every new social idea is greeted with. Personally, it is a social media outlet/inlet that I can get on board with – seeing as how it integrates nicely into my
clubbing together a month’s worth of everything into one big gigantic post
about 8 months ago - 1 comment
This is the 4th attempt I’m making at trying for a halfway decent beginning to a post. Have I really been reduced to saying such banalities? I can’t quite believe it. When I look at my front page, most of my recent posts are about movies. Reviews, basically. Most of my recent posts have also
notes: what should be the real plan for the chrome os?
about 9 months ago - 5 comments
The world has been talking about the Google Chrome OS. We have people saying ‘next big huge thing‘, and obviously, ‘next big huge steaming pile of crap‘. Me, personally? I haven’t, and still don’t like the idea of Google having a browser on the market – it reeks too much of a company trying to

Somehow Personas is making me regress. Back to a time when I first started using Firebird 0.7, and hacked my way into theming it (the Firefox of those days did not look pretty – it looked like what it was: a quick, nifty version of the Mozilla Suite Browser). And then with Firefox 0.9, official
windows 7 – quirks, quips and quarks
about 10 months ago - 7 comments
So I finally moved to Windows 7 on one of the machines I use regularly. It wasn’t without its share of weird-ass issues – I don’t think any M$ OS can be without its quirks. Not issues/problems, mind you. Quirks. I will try to update this based on what else I figure out in the

I’m glad – I get “a little impatient” clicking through partial feeds
– Now, I will have to click through only if I want to leave a comment – which is much nicer
