Flash Version Pulled Down…

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Hi Friends…
Day before yesterday I thought of pulling down the flash version of the ifthi.com 8th design version. The reason? … actually I want to make it more dynamic…probably I will have only flash version in the future edition…may be by the release of the album ‘Violet’ and I think blogger had done some upgrades in their feed section that I experienced some problem in parsing the XML. So need to re work on that one too…

Initially I had a news section where the XML from Blogger was parsed and displayed in my own pages. Actualy it was done for a testing and I have pulled down that portion also. Now you can see this news part fully functional in my Group website that’s Tyche & Fama Group website…shhh…suspense hehe…
And yea…iPhone rocks :D

That’s it for now…more updates…sooooon
cheers,
Ifthi

Few days back, I found this annoying file kinza.exe and an autorun.inf in my external hard drive and all usb pen drives in my office.

Kinza Information

ii. It makes stop response or restrict TaskManager, Regedit, CMD, Msconfig, Group
iii. Policies.Some Windows tools like Like TaskManager, Regedit suddenly gets closed or open for few second Like TaskManager, Regedit, etc.
iv. FolderOptions is Disable from Windows Explorer

Solution for that propblem is Get Quick Heal, an anti virus software. It works ;)

After a break…

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Hi All,
Yea…I’m fed up of posting stories saying I’m back after some days and all…but seriously I was busy busy…with album, with business…what not.

Everyone was asking me about the status of the album lately. For you information, AUDIO IS COMPLETE! and mixing and mastering will take 2 weeks time. In between a company in Dubai has come up with an offer to buy the whole project and they would like to market it.
Anyways talks going on…and so the time is running…but no worries, Violet will come rock soon ;)
My friend’s birthday was on 4th march…and we had an outing in Ajman and Al Khawneej…had fun…will be posting the pics here.

In the business, I’ve been busy with some small researches online. Our company is one year old and planning to start a couple of portal websites. I was planning and setting up the back end. Still going on. Some business connections with China worked out. Signing a contract with Independent Online Distribution Alliance soon regarding a partnership on selling my songs online.

That’s it for now…
Keep Visiting!
Cheers!
Ifthi
