Four plus years of existence

Until a journalist friend of mine asked me about my old posts on this website (specifically Kannada ones) and until I went digging for those, I had not realized that this website has been on the Internet for more than four years now.
It was first a little page on geocities (maybe in 2003? I don't remember now!). It became a blog later on weblogs.us, initially running on Movable Type. Later it was hpnadig.com and with help from an old friend - Carthik, was hosted running with the code I wrote on my own for that ambitious website I had planned.
I finally got my copy of Pro Drupal Development yesterday. Drupal has changed lives of many in past several years, and mine isn't different. It was not just the curiosity about what's in the book that made me buy it, but also the opportunity the book provides in filling gaps of what you might have overlooked in hurry.
I've been reading through the book whenever I've had time for past one day. The book looks well structured and simple.
Drupal multi-site sequence issue

If you are running a Drupal multi-site installation, and the sequence tables are shared, then here's an admonition: take real care of the changed prefix for each shared database. Cross check on the sequence tables if you ever had to rename the database or just the unshared tables.
For instance,
[dbprefix_dbname]
becomes
[dbprefixnew_dbname]
The first thing you have to do is go check the sequence table and change the values manually on the new sequence table entries corresponding to the database appropriately.
I like it black and white

After a long long time, I got around to do some changes to the look and feel of this website. Once a playground for my code and design, this website now runs on [:
http://drupal/org|Drupal] and is now severely neglected when it comes to the updates.
If you find anything broken or weird on the site, [:contact|feel free to report it to me] if you have both patience and the time. Sometime again, some other day, I'll have to sit back on revamping this site completely and give it another life.
