Fanlistings
Posted by Akash under Internet on July 19th,2007. No Comments.
I joined/am joining so many fanlistings! All of them are on my about page. I also decided to create my own, and surprisingly, there isn’t a fanlisting for Everyhome, so I applied for one. I started making the layout. As I was making it earlier today, I realized that this is the first time I have used Photoshop in weeks. It’s really bad at the moment, so I’ll probably start over many times. On a slightly random note, TheFanlistings.org has approved fanlistings for about anything o.o
I started backing up all my files yesterday for my system recovery. I had to delete quite a few songs, and I did. I deleted about half of my music library. Then, I wrote all the programs that I need to download and install. There was one little problem… our antivirus thing was purchased and downloaded online, and you can’t re-download it unless you bought the Extended Download Service, which of course we didn’t. I went to the customer support and sent an email. Hopefully we can re-download it without buying that service since we are just doing a recovery. If not, we have to buy a new antivirus WITH SOFTWARE. And not Symantec. If anyone has good music to share, tell me. I’ll get the CD.
I have yet to see Harry Potter >.< I heard it was amazing, and I also heard it was too long and disappointing. Either way, I want to see it. I really don’t have time…. well I do, but my mom can’t drop me. Most of my friends have seen it, too. I’ll see it eventually. I’m more excited for the book! Did anyone see it the movie, though?
Wordpress

Well, as you can tell, I switched to WordPress a couple of days back, and I think the switch is complete! It was really tough for me, but I did it x.x Some new things include a calendar, a better RSS feed thing, a better archive, and a nice admin panel for me! The only problem is that I made this layout for no side navigation. WordPress uses the sidebar, so now the content is very small. I’ll be sure to make a larger layout next time.
I also added a scrobbler plugin that displays the recent songs that I listened to. I signed up for an account at Last.fm and downloaded the Last.fm program. It is set up so that any song that plays on my iTunes gets “scrobbled” and sent to my recently played list. I think that’s really cool! Click here for my profile on Last.fm and you can add me as a friend if you want to.
Yesterday, my aunt and uncle left for India. It was so sad, and now the house feels so empty… We had so much fun. Oh yeah, my uncle ended up buying a laptop, but at Best Buy. It’s a really nice (and a new model) Sony Vaio that was on sale for $699. It obviously ended up costing more than that with tax, security, software, and a router. It’s a really nice laptop, though =)
I’m also going to do a system recovery for my computer. My computer has just been weird lately. It’s also been SO slow. Hopefully a recovery will help..? I have no idea how to, though. I think you just have to make the recovery disks and back up all the files you want. Then turn off your computer and put in the first disk, and just follow the instructions. Is that right?
Welcome!

Hey, welcome to the new Fallen Eminence, which is now a blog and portfolio, for me, Akash. Previously, this site was a graphic design website, but I recently closed it. Here is the message if you did not see it:
Dear Affiliates and Visitors, I apologize for being dead and promising that I would start working on FE when I didn’t. I honestly don’t have the time to keep up with two graphic sites and life, so I guess this is good-bye. Affiliates, you have been absolutely wonderful and I hope that we can still be friends. I’m turning this location into a blog/portfolio and if you have one, then send me a link and we can be blogroll buddies :P. Again, I apologize.
Yep… so this is my blog. You can subscribe to it by click here. This is Really Simple Syndication”>RSS and it is a simple way to subscribe to one’s blog. Many blogs use this, such as Livejournal, Wordpress, and Blogspot. I wrote this blog code (from a tutorial at Day Dream Graphics) instead of using a script, so I had to write the RSS thing myself. I encountered many problems, when a lot of sites said that it was so simple to do. I guess I’m a little rusty =/
To the left (and all around you, of course) is the new layout. I originally made it for the design site, but I was lazy and just edited it a bit for the blog. I hope you enjoy it. I’m pleased with it, except the header came out too small…
On to my life: My aunt and uncle are visiting from India. They’re here for three weeks, though two of them are over. It’s a really fun time and my aunt and I laugh so much. I don’t want them to go back; it’ll be so lonely here >.<. When they leave on Tuesday of next week, I’ll have nothing to do. *dies* But then my other aunt is coming very shortly after for our family friend’s daughter’s wedding. It’s a Punjabi wedding, so it has to be fun. My cousin is getting married in August, and so is my other cousin in November (in D.C.). This year is definitely going to be busy, especially with school. I’m really excited for school, though. I have no idea why?
